********** I'm assuming that tracks from ijwmftt are not eligible because they're all remakes of beach boys songs? Set 1: One for the boys Your imagination She says that she needs me South American What love can do The like in I love you Love and mercy Walkin the line Melt away How could we still be dancin Gettin in over my head The waltz You've got a friend in me The bare necessities On Christmas Day Christmasey That lucky old sun Morning beat Good kind of love Can't wait too long Midnights another day Goin home Set 2: Orange Crate Art (full album) Set 3: Brian Wilson presents SMiLE (full album) Encore 1: Heigh-ho / whistle while you work / yo ho (a pirates life for me) Desert Drive Night time Sunshine Happy days Encore 2: Rio Grande Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Nicko1234 on July 27, 2013, 11:34:52 PM Surf City would be a must to give the fans a hit to listen to. Along with a few covers.

Post by: Lonely Summer on July 28, 2013, 12:57:30 AM First of all, I'd want to hear the complete TLOS live. That's my favorite album from his solo career, although BW88 is right behind it.

Post by: smilethebeachboysloveyou on July 28, 2013, 03:21:31 AM Anyway, here's my list:
The Spirit of Rock and Roll Baby, Let Your Hair Grow Long Walkin' the Line Water Builds Up The Bare Necessities Melt Away The Like in I Love You She Says That She Needs Me Don't Let Her Know Little Children California Roll Live Let Live South American Slightly American Music This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight Mexican Girl Dream Angel They Can't Take That Away From Me Night Time Cry Midnight's Another Day Southern California Love and Mercy Nothing But Love Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight Encore: Desert Drive Love Ya Lay Down Burden He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body to Move I admit that I cheated by using some songs that have not been officially released (I also meant for "Don't Let Her Know" and "Desert Drive" to be the Sweet Insanity and Paley Sessions versions, respectively, rather than the Gettin' In Over My Head versions). I think this would actually make for a pretty good concert, though. Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: ontor pertawst on July 28, 2013, 03:35:11 AM "Chain Reaction of Love" has to be in there somewhere.
Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Vegetable Man on July 28, 2013, 11:32:02 AM Question: would Brian's shows be as popular if he only did solo tunes? Don't get me wrong, it would be cool if he did, but do you think the Beach Boys stuff has something to do with the popularity of his shows?
Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Rocky Raccoon on July 28, 2013, 11:52:10 AM Question: would Brian's shows be as popular if he only did solo tunes? Don't get me wrong, it would be cool if he did, but do you think the Beach Boys stuff has something to do with the popularity of his shows? I would argue that it's all in the same boat, Brian's solo career overlaps with the Beach Boys. After all, arguably his most famous solo venture was the Smile album/tour in '04-'05. This thread is just hypothetical fun. Obviously, the main appeal to see Brian Wilson live is to see him sing the Beach Boys songs, for the general public I mean. Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Gohi on July 28, 2013, 12:19:15 PM Thank goodness he doesn't only do solo stuff, as shown by some of these setlists.
Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: MBE on July 28, 2013, 12:50:50 PM Thank goodness he doesn't only do solo stuff, as shown by some of these setlists. I have to agree. I like some of Brian's solo stuff, but as time goes on (as an album at least) TLOS is the only one I really return to. For Smile I like the Beach Boys versions to hear, though I respect the 2003-4 one very much. Honestly my favorite Brian solo stuff are the songs he produced for others in the sixties or seventies, or early (think 1963-73) vocal contributions to others records. Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Outtasight! on July 28, 2013, 12:55:26 PM I'd love to hear him perform Its Not Easy Being Me and Rio Grande, throw in the Lucky Old Sun album and a smile selection, some Gershwin and I'd be happy!

Smart Girls and about 20 more listed on the thread i like em all. ;) Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Lonely Summer on July 28, 2013, 02:01:02 PM How about Brian and his band playing the entire 1988 album live? There are some great songs there begging to be played by that band instead of the 1000 Synths heard on the album.
Title: Re: If Brian only played solo songs live... Post by: Aegir on July 28, 2013, 02:25:41 PM I would be far more likely to see a Brian solo show if he played mainly songs from his solo career.

Don't get me wrong, it would be cool if he did, but do you think the Beach Boys stuff has something to do with the popularity of his shows? Not in a million years of course. It would appeal to the hardcore but there is a reason why they play all of those 60s songs. Because people love them and because that is when Brian was at his peak. |
