Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: STE on July 23, 2009, 12:37:56 PM Do we know if he played songs off his new album? Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: Jonas on July 23, 2009, 01:03:16 PM Very cool! :thewilsons

Can you imagine Al and David both in the band in the 70's? 8) 409 sounds good but just kinda, plain out weird without Mike. I think that says a lot in his favor Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: Alf64 on July 23, 2009, 03:35:42 PM I actually prefer to hear Al singing lead on those songs rather than Mike. (shh... don't tell Mike. LOL) No nasal vocals.LOL And Al has aged the best out of all The Beach Boys, in my opinion. His voice still sounds like it did in the mid 60's! I have told Trish Campo about that and she agrees too.
Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on July 23, 2009, 05:26:50 PM Blows me away how good Al sounds these days! He really just has (and has always had) a wonderful, full bodied voice with great high, mid, and low ranges all in one!
But alas we disagree about Mike! Such a rare thing on this board! >:D Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: LittleSurferGirl on July 23, 2009, 05:44:42 PM Thanks so much for posting!! Great performance, I hope I can catch Al & David sometime in Ohio!
Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: GLarson432 on July 23, 2009, 07:57:23 PM STE asks: "Do we know if Al played songs from his new album?"
hobielang (Susan from the Shut Down Vol. 2 board) posted on the PSML: "...It was an hour and 3/4 GH > show, with a few cuts from the album (Drivin' and Postcards), and a > couple of non-BB songs (Runaway comes to mind.)... Hope this helps. Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: STE on July 24, 2009, 12:10:17 AM Thanks Greg, that helps indeed! Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: Beach Boy on July 24, 2009, 02:07:45 AM Why didn't David get his own mike? And how he plays the guitar is really cool. Makes it a bit sad though, that Carl stopped playing solo guitar in the mid 80ies. The highlight is still that Richie and Eddie look like 20 years ago.
BTW Every "Beach Boys band" do now the car medley. :-[ Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: c-man on July 24, 2009, 04:04:08 AM Why didn't David get his own mike?

He gave a couple to Foskett, like Surfin' Safafri and Barbara Ann, but started doing them again once Jeff left.

Title: Re: Al and David in NYC 7/20/09 Post by: introibo on July 30, 2009, 06:24:08 AM Did Al show up on "Good Morning America" that day? I watched from about 7:15 on, but seemed to have missed him.
