Title: Beach Boys (M&B) concert cancelled in Chile
Post by: elagpa on October 14, 2012, 12:22:32 PM
The reason was 'logistical problems' (according to the promoter), but it seems that the absence of Brian Wilson and confusion about the 50th Anniversary Tour was bad publicity and did not sell many tickets

perhaps this is the end of Mike's incarnation. with all the publicity many people will opt to not see him not because Brian's not there, but because they don't want to watch an asshole. not to mention pay him.





























nah, im just having some lulz, but plz let it be true....

Maybe. But one day he's going to forget to put on his protective jewelry and assorted talismans and start melting in direct sunlight.

BRUCE: "Mike! What's happening?"

MIKE: "My face! My face! My beautiful face!"

Fig.3535. Mike Love experiences "logistical problems."

The press articles only reproduce the words from the promoter, but in the previous press of the concert were mentioned the absence of Brian, Al and David in Chile and the success of the 50th Anniversary Tour, many people showed confusion and lack of interest to see an 'alternative' lineup of the Beach Boys (in facebook and comments of the newspapers websites).

When a show is cancelled in the region, one common excuse is 'logistical problems'.

Ok, thanks. I know one who wanted to see the Beach Boys very much and was so disappointed when I told him that the show in Chile was a Mike&Bruce concert.
As mentioned before, even before the first reunion show I said that I could see problems of that kind coming up. Interesting to see what this will turn into.

all this reminds me of the last girl I dated. I knew it would be brief, but I was in love and damned the consequences. when we were together it was great, but afterwards it was much, much worse than before.

All this reminds me of the importance of clarity and patience when scheduling such things.

Nothing new - M&B had a show in Chile cancelled back in 2005.

The show will be postponed. This is what the news say:

"The Beach Boys are thrilled about returning to Chile, and hope that the event will be rescheduled soon. Both the band and the production are working together booking a new date."

Exactly. At the time there was a currency exchange issue that rendered the show impossible, I think.

Nutty Jerry is somehow responsible.
