Title: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends? Post by: GoogaMooga on September 21, 2010, 11:18:37 PM With all this talk of a BB reunion, how would y'all like to see Wendy and Carnie back in Al Jardine's Beach Family and Friends? Not really sure what they were doing there in the first place, but as Al says on the live CD, "I'm just happy to see some Wilsons on stage!" I like the thought of Wilsons in Al's band. And Wilson Phillips is not really going anywhere.

Post by: Nicko on September 22, 2010, 04:26:35 AM I think that band had the best overall sound (I'm including lead vocals there) of any of the bands. However, without the BBs name they wouldn't sell any tickets so no chance of it happening.

Well, Al can and does promote his current shows (like the one I saw Labor Day weekend) as "Original founding member of The Beach Boys Al Jardine and the Endless Summer Band", and he manages to sell tickets. If he tacked on "Featuring Carnie and Wendy Wilson", he would probably sell even more. Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends?

Al will be playing a gig with his current band at a library in Big Sur the night of October 8. He'll be playing material from his new album release. I hope he doesn't distract those who are trying to read in a quiet environment..... Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends?

Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends? Post by: Mikie on September 24, 2010, 09:26:10 AM Rather an odd setting... ??? Yeah, I thought so too. It's not far from Al's house & The Red Barn; right on Highway 1. It's on a Friday night at 7:30, so for those who have to work that day, it's not really convenient to make it over there. I think that's the intent - to keep it in an intimate setting with a relatively small audience. Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends? Post by: Mikie on September 24, 2010, 09:28:45 AM Bobby Figueroa IS still will Al. He's not left. Good, because the last time I saw Al with his band, Bobby wasn't there. Met Bobby once - he's a good guy. Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends? Post by: Mikie on September 24, 2010, 09:31:18 AM Because Daryl Dragon is fighting Parkinson's disease. Damn it! That's really too bad. He and Toni lived up in Virginia City for awhile - last time I checked they were moving South to Vegas or Arizona. Title: Re: Should Wendy and Carnie rejoin Al's Beach Family and Friends?

Met Bobby once - he's a good guy. He may have been on tour with Ricci Martin at the time. Was Dennis Diken in for him instead? The library up in Big Sur sems to host concerts often according to their website. Looks like Arcade Fire just played there. The seating is capacity 300.
