Thanks for this, just managed to catch it. The vocals were excellent and Mike's voice seemed stronger and fuller than on some of the audio I've heard in recent years and Bruce sounded way better than I expected. It's cool seeing Dave there and the band vocals were great too. I could be totally wrong but I'm pretty sure I could hear an organ/keyboard but couldn't see one, which seems a bit odd to me.

Mike told me about this Saturday - they pre-recorded the track, live vocals.

Thanks for the clarification. Probably the only way to really do it under the circumstances. The vocals were spot on in my opinion.

My brother was in the audience for this and got to meet Mike and Bruce afterwards.

Andrew-I know you'll be upset at missing this but they also did Barbara Ann during the rehearsal!

The vocals were great, I really like the blend they have going just now. Everyone seemed to enjoy it which is amazing after all this time.  I guess that is the legacy the band will leave behind.  To my mum it was the Beach Boys, even without you know who. She did ask though why they played California Girls so slowly!  I've noticed over the years that sometimes the tempo is slower (which I still like!). She also said Mike was looking great for his age!

Totally understandable that the track would be prerecorded, but could they really not find a keyboard to put in front of Bruce or Tim?

Bruce sounded very clear and strong on the harmonies.
