Title: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Pretty Funky on February 22, 2011, 01:02:39 AM Poor reporting I suspect but after the Reagan show...who knows?
http://www.pnj.com/article/20110222/NEWS01/102220314/1006/NEWS01/Wharf-is-ready-to-rock The current version of the band features founding members Mike Love and Al Jardine and longtime member Bruce Johnston. Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Rocker on February 22, 2011, 09:03:29 AM link won't work for me.....
I wouldn't be surprised if Al rejoined them, at least for this anniversary-year Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: BillA on February 22, 2011, 10:17:41 AM I would be - Mike seems pretty tight with a buck. The band has gone from 7 supporting musicians and 4 Beach Boys when Carl died to 5 supporting mucicans and 2 Beach boys now. I am not sure that having Al on board can pay for itself with additional ticket sales so if Al comes back somebody has got to go and the current second guitarist is . . . . . . . .
Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 22, 2011, 10:40:50 AM Cannot confirm. Rather, the opposite: just had an (electronic) word with someone who should probably know and they said, not.
Of course, March 14th is some way off yet and Alan only got the Reagan call a week before the gig, but as of now - no Alan. Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce?

But would Al coming back cost a great deal more? Al already gets a share of the revenue from BRI, correct? Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Pretty Funky on February 22, 2011, 11:49:45 AM May 14 AGD! Having a bad run with dates at the moment. :)
May is the new March? Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 22, 2011, 12:26:01 PM May 14 AGD!

Post by: Pretty Funky on March 02, 2011, 02:00:00 AM Another story with Al in the line-up. How good is your source AGD? (I suspect Bruce myself ;))

Post by: Rocker on March 02, 2011, 02:21:57 AM "We had some other options we were going to pursue, but The Beach Boys just seemed like it was the best fit because it (appeals to) little kids on up to senior citizens. Everybody knows The Beach Boys. They're a party band; they're all-American, and it kind of fits with the car show. It just seemed to work."
Hm.... Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on March 02, 2011, 02:28:48 AM Have to say, given that Mike's official Facebook page reposted news of a May Alabama that mentioned Alan as being part of the line-up without comment or alteration, it's possible events have moved on. I hope so.
Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Ron on March 02, 2011, 08:49:53 AM I was surprised at how easily Al sat in with the band at the Reagan show. Al can still go. I think it adds a little legitimacy to the sound as well. They sounded pretty damn good at that show.
Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Alex on March 02, 2011, 09:44:14 AM If Al comes back, Dave, plus Billy H, Eddie Carter, Bobby Figueroa, etc. should also be there. And if Brian decides to participate, I'd like to see at least Darian and Jeff, and if possible, Probyn Gregery, Scotty Bennett, and Nicky Wonder in there.
Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Ron on March 02, 2011, 10:00:02 AM Yeah, uh... I think it's just Al for now.

Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: tpesky on March 03, 2011, 01:44:38 PM 50 people on stage for a 50th anniversary seems like a catchy gimmick. Would that be counting the cheerleaders too I wonder... ::)

Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Ron on March 03, 2011, 03:14:09 PM Yeah but they're only three degrees of seperation away from Hot Cheerleaders.
1. John Stamos will absolutely be there he always is. 2. He's on Glee 3. Glee has Hot Cheerleaders. Title: Re: Can this be confirmed by anyone. Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: ESQ Editor on March 07, 2011, 10:47:59 AM There are no additional dates confirmed for Al with Mike and Bruce at this time.

Al rejoined Mike and Bruce? Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on March 09, 2011, 06:49:44 AM I will announce right now, that as the number one Beach Boys fan, I would be happy to join the band as well. Unfortunately, we had a dispute on money. I wanted $5,000 per show, and they wanted me to give them $20,000 per show. We met in the middle, but I couldn't afford it.
