Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Justin on June 28, 2012, 05:40:03 PM Excellent! You're sure to have fun! Al keeps great eye contact with the first few rows.
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: TV Forces on June 29, 2012, 07:56:51 AM I regret very much not getting a VIP package. But I'll still be there ready to go.
My first time seeing the other guys. I've seen Brian twice. :spin Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Roger Ryan on June 29, 2012, 11:36:28 AM I'll be there as well.
This will be the first time I've see the Beach Boys since 1978 (although I've attended every Brian show in the area). Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: ohthosegirls on June 30, 2012, 06:33:57 AM So pumped!
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Generation42 on June 30, 2012, 06:52:04 AM Enjoy it, guys and gals. The band was on last night. You're sure to have a great time.

Don't wanna miss beginning of second set but I guess intermission it is. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: TV Forces on June 30, 2012, 08:31:45 PM My God was that show awesome! Brian looked and sounded great. The entire band, especially Al were just outstanding. More when I get home. Three hours of pure heaven.
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: TV Forces on June 30, 2012, 09:09:01 PM Didn't write down setlist, but they played "Still Crusin." No Prayer, Marcella, or This Whole World. But still an unforgettable evening. So glad I went.
Played from 8 to 9:25. 20 min break. Then again from 9:45 to 11. Brian sat by himself at the side of the stage before the show and during the entire intermission. But he was so good. He played bass the last two songs.. did his shuffle dance.. was really great to see. Read some rough reports from people on this tour, but he looked like he really wanted to be there and was enjoying himself. Mike was very talkative in the first set, not much in the second. Al was just perfect. Bruce nailed "Disney Girls." Everything was so much better than Youtube videos or some TV appearances. The mix was as good as can be. Heard one negative comment. Walking to my car, this guy told his buddy he'll never see them again because the guys "can't carry a tune." Another lady thought my Brian Wilson SMiLE t-shirt was a message for Brian to smile more. Had no idea. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Justin on June 30, 2012, 09:14:37 PM "Still Cruisin"? :o
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Shady on June 30, 2012, 09:39:33 PM wow, Mike really is in control of the setlist
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: TV Forces on June 30, 2012, 10:08:44 PM "Still Cruisin"? :o Yeah. They said it was a Detroit thing because of our annual Woodward Cruise and all that. Somebody will hopefully come up with the setlist soon, but compared to last night we didn't get Little Honda, Marcella, or Good Timin'. We did get Still Cruisin', as I mentioned, and Ballad of Ole Betsy. Some cool music choices.. Before the band came out, they played "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes and "Changes" by the Zombies. During intermission, they played "Changes" again and "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things" by the Cowsills. They also played some early Beach Boys instrumentals and one tune that I had no idea what is was.. The lead singer sure sounded like Brian but I didn't know the song. Argh. "Summer Means New Love" played when the show ended. We sat and watched the crew tear down the stage as we let the crowd thin out a bit. They got everything down in 10-15 minutes. Impressive. Pros. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: startBBtoday on June 30, 2012, 10:36:32 PM So how many members of Brian's band do you think contemplated quitting as soon as Still Cruisin' was brought up at sound check?
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: orange22 on June 30, 2012, 10:48:16 PM Did they also play Shingles? Or Pringles. Whatever that Mike song about his dog is.
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Justin on June 30, 2012, 10:49:12 PM Haha well, after the inclusion of "Our Prayer" I'm sure Mike dug up a few tunes HE wanted to do too. :lol
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: GuyO on June 30, 2012, 11:02:03 PM Hmmm... Now, "still Cruisin'" must be the first song they've added, where I think there are several better choices. I guess that all recent additions being non-Mike lead vocals led to this choice. Would have preffer ed "Custom machine" or "Drive-In" or something quirky like those.

Why? Was Matt just up there playing tambourines/bongos, or were he and Jeff sharing falsetto?
Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: freedomaspirer on July 01, 2012, 01:25:56 AM I wouldn't be surprised to see Summer In Paradise being added now after this!

I kinda like "Stil cruisin'" in fact I sang it to myself yesterday (talk about coincidence). But the inclusion of that song and "Come go with me" and at the same time the exclusion of "Our prayer" is something can't support. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: SMiLE on July 01, 2012, 05:47:39 AM I wouldn't be surprised to see Summer In Paradise being added now after this!

I just thought it was some random fan/friend, but now it makes sense that would be him. The song you might be thinking about playing during the intermission was "Summer Means Fun" by Bruce & Terry. Great show all around. I would have to pick Cottonfields and I Just Wasn't Made For These Times as the tracks of the night!

As it is a celebration tour it is absolutely right that the likes of Figueroa, Dean Torrence, John Stamos and the group`s kids should make occasional appearances.

Also, during Be True To Your School, in the video accompanying the song after pictures of the group in high school several logos from Buffalo local colleges were included.

Why? Was Matt just up there playing tambourines/bongos, or were he and Jeff sharing falsetto? Matt joined the band in 1989 as a percussionist. Took over falsetto in 1993. These were some poor set list decisions last night. Hopefully just a one off due to being in the motor city. Better bring back Good Timin, Honda, Marcella, This Whole World. Enough of Betsey. Nobody really needs Still Cruisin' as a repalcement for anything. AND...WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR PRAYER AND DARLIN'??? ARE THEY BANISHED FOREVER?

This one is a classic:

I should also add that Brian seemed really keen on singing back-up on "Still Cruisin'" and I actually enjoyed hearing this "rarity". Note that "Little Honda" was not played which the band may have thought could rile up local autoworkers (and there are quite a few around here who vehemently oppose imports)!
I never thought I'd say this, but I wish Mike's microphone was turned up louder; I had a lot of trouble hearing him in the mix and about 30% of his in-between song chatter was completely unintelligible. Of course, I would have wanted to hear "Marcella" or "Our Prayer", but I had no problems with how the show played out. The second set is definitely designed to present the "art" side of the Beach Boys and it did this quite well. I was especially touched hearing Brian sing Carl's part on "All This Is That" (although Foskett does the falsetto at the end, of course). It was also interesting to hear how Brian adjusted his delivery of the second verse for "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" so he could more smoothly hit the notes he struggled with in the first verse. Brian and everyone sounded fantastic on the title track to the new album - this went over really well with the crowd. Overall, it was a great show; better than the last time I saw this band (1978 :lol). Having experienced Brian doing the deeper cuts over the past decade, I appreciated seeing the other guys showcasing their own songs, specifically Al doing "Cottonfields" and "Come Go With Me" and Bruce doing "Disney Girls". It's possible that certain song selections were trimmed due to the curfew that DTE Energy Pavilion enforces (concerts must be concluded by 10:45 p.m. or something to that effect), but I didn't feel shortchanged in the least. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: TV Forces on July 01, 2012, 11:11:17 AM It's possible that certain song selections were trimmed due to the curfew that DTE Energy Pavilion enforces (concerts must be concluded by 10:45 p.m. or something to that effect), but I didn't feel shortchanged in the least. They still played until 11 despite any 10:45 curfew. I remember asking my wife what time it was during "Kokomo" and her cell phone said 10:50. 47 songs! Can't complain. An amazing night. Still on cloud 9. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: JanBerryFarm on July 01, 2012, 11:31:57 AM Well.

Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: ahoutman1 on July 01, 2012, 05:21:29 PM This was my first beach boys concert and it was possibly the best concert i have or will ever attend. Me and my friend drove from Holland, MI which is on the other side of the state. There wasn't a lot of movement in the Lawn seating where i was but people stood up and were really getting into it during the pet sounds part of the show and from good vibrations through the encore. We sat left of pillar 3 and had the perfect view of Brian, David, Al, and Bruce. However we never got a good glimpse of mike except for the big TV screens. My friend was blown away by Bruce on disney girls. There 3 or 4 merch stands and only one sold autographed cds. so i picked up Postcard and the David marks CD for 15 each. I also got a tour program which is very nice to say the least. It was truly an amazing night for me. We didn't end up getting home until around 3:30ish. Is it just me or were there no gas stations in Clarkston? After we escaped the parking lot madness we stopped at the shell off the highway only to find it was closed. Then we though we we taking an exit but, along with many others, we found ourselves in a parking lot with one exit. After getting lost a few times we did end up home safe and sound.
The only downside is that there was a lot of commotion in the lawn around me. First this older guy got hit by a beach ball thrown by a little girl and proceeds to deflate it. The father came over and the older man began swearing extremely loud during the opening drums of do it again. He then grabbed a second beach ball by him and tried to pop it. The father of the young girl was still standing over him and grabbed that ball away from him. The older man starts screaming for security, although nobody ever came and the older man eventually left. He acted very rude and his antics put a damper on the beginning of the concerts. A few songs later a lady appeared to have her nose broken by the very large beach and was bleeding profusely. After that it was smooth sailing until the end. All in all great show and im still exhausted from the trip. BTW we swear we saw Violent J of Insane Clown Posse. Anyone else see him? Or can confirm he was in attendance? Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: ontor pertawst on July 01, 2012, 05:28:43 PM Considering a woman's nose was broken and Brian is always complaining about the beach balls, I can see why that fella lost his sh*t about it.

I also got a tour program which is very nice to say the least. It was truly an amazing night for me. We didn't end up getting home until around 3:30ish. Actually, there were 3 merch booths and all 3 sold the autograph CDs. I know because I ran from one to the next 4-5 times to see if the autographed tour books would show up. They finally did at intermission. But only at one of the booths. I got 2 Al CDs.. Both at seperate merch booths.

Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: acedecade75 on July 01, 2012, 09:45:47 PM The guys rehearsed Still Cruisin during the soundcheck. At one point, Brian stoped and asked Mike if his band (Brian's) knew the song. After Mike told Brian that they did, Brian replied by telling Mike he liked Still Cruisin. The first set sheets that they put down had Marcella and Good Timin on them. About ten minutes before the show, a roadie brought out new set sheets that had Marcella and Good Timin removed, and Still Cruisin and The Ballad Of Ol Besty added.
During the show right after Good Vibrations, Al turned to Scott Totten and asked if they were doing All Summer Long. Scott told the band no, go right into Rhonda. They were pressed for time as DTE has a strict 11PM curfew/cutoff time. They finished the show at 10:58PM. So it seemed that they would have been glad to do a bit more if they had been allowed. I also noticed that Tim Bonhomme is working as some kind of manager or roadie with the band.

By the way, I've seen Austin Powers and Jack Nicholson impersonators work the crowd at past DTE shows; I suspect "Tom Cruise" was one of these impersonators hired to entertain the crowd.

I noticed Mike asking Brian's band what song was next before "That's Why God Made the Radio" and someone in the band shouting, "Radio! Radio!" I thought that was odd since they have setlists on the ground to refer to. Title: Re: Show 41: DTE Energy Music Theatre - Clarkston, MI 6/30/12 Post by: Rocker on July 02, 2012, 02:29:06 PM Facebook:
