...at :20. Either that or he's trying to levitate and forgot "All This Is That" was the time to attempt it.

ML levitates, too bad his physical body didn't follow him.

No telling what would have happened if he were in that mood at Bonnaroo.

Bruce does this regularly during "I get around". First time I saw that was in a video of a show from last year iirc.
I mentioned this in another thread, he can jump around or whatever but I want him to stand at his f*cking microphone when he's supposed to sing !

I somehow always knew he was a punk, deep inside.

Bruce Johnston's life was changed forever that night at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. From that moment on, the rules had changed. He would have to revise his act.

I still don't get what the point of the jump is there..in the middle of the song? Am I missing something? A truly great keyboardist and organ player reduces himself to jumping, clapping, and a few twinkle notes on the piano. I don't get Bruce sometimes..

 Among other things, the 2012 tour has taught us that Bruce is an odd duck.

Oh come on now, is this north korea or what for christ sake! let him do what he wants to do, plus, far as i know, it's not like he has a part to play during that particular moment (and anyway they have like a billion background musicians that are doing most of their jobs)

Yeah I would agree that Bruce should do whatever he wants...it's just that what he wants to do seems increasingly random and odd.  I honestly have thought that Bruce Johnston may not have all his marbles in the last few years.

I'm just curious as to what he's trying to be...maybe a girl? You know, "leave your best girl home on a Saturday night" and he's imitating a girl?

I would pay money to hear what Brian is playing on his piano.

I think someone needs to explain to Bruce that's not a stage dive! ;D

I love the flapping of the hands after, as in, "Whatever"

What the hell is that? The weirdest thing is it doesn't seem spontaneous...
