On the way: some Brian shows, an Al show, and some older Beach Boys setlists that I received this year.

Al Jardine:
Newport Beach, CA, 9/19/09

If anyone has some more details about this show (venue, advertised band name), please let me know!

hey eric, at the ashland ky show, on your site, it has stamos listed with a question mark by his name. that is incorrect..

Nice with an update, Eric! :)

A slight correction:

The July BB concert in Sweden was indeed the northernmost BB show ever (barely beating Fairbanks, Alaska and Reykjavik, Iceland), but it took place on the third and not the fourth of July. They played another venue in Sweden on the fourth.

Thanks for the corrections!

Steve, who sang Good Timin' that day?  I just assumed it was John Stamos...Chris Farmer used to do it when John wasn't there.

Eric: If I remember correctly, Christian Love sang "Good Timin'" at the Ashland, Ky show

Performed very well except Bruce's voice was shot on God Only Knows. The concert was a big deal for northern NM. The Governor of the state and country singer Randy Travis were singled out from the audience by Mike. The Mayor of Santa Fe was there as well and numerous local county and city officials. This was my first time seeing the Mike and Bruce show and I was duly impressed with their band and the vocals. However no band introductions and the rarities that I have heard about in past shows were not to be found in this set.

One highlight of the evening: after making a bawdy comment to the music director Mike says "Man I'm glad they serve alcohol here" and not missing a beat a local yelled from the back of the room "SO ARE WE!" causing Mike to lose it.

I think it's really cool that they're playing "Surfin". What's the arrangement like currently? It is like the original, the Summer In Paradise version, or something else?

They play it like the original version. In 1992, however, when Summer In Paradise had first come out, they played the "hard rock" version that was on Summer In Paradise.

The Boys also played Surfin' in 1967 on the Lei'd In Hawaii shows, often in 1981-82 (note the Long Beach show, where Al sings, audibly, "come on pretty baby and f*** with me"), and Michael and Bruce have played it on and off since 1998.

Here's how they play "Surfin'" nowadays. Thanks to Stegibo for the link:
