Title: Re: Valencia, 1990. 9 songs, no Carl Post by: Ian on August 25, 2019, 10:42:34 AM Yeah-for a few shows

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkxXfjQ-FpM Filmed at Paseo De La Alameda in Valencia (Spain) on 07. October 1990. Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire (Spain 1990) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkxXfjQ-FpM It's unfortunate that Carl wasn't with them. This TV appearance has to come from the same tim. Just Jerry Lee and piano: Jerry Lee Lewis - Spanish Tv Show On Tele5 1990 Great Balls Of Fire - Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SeylNw2lOA Title: Re: Valencia, 1990. 9 songs, no Carl Post by: HeyJude on August 26, 2019, 01:31:04 PM Interesting that Al takes the second verse lead on “California Dreamin’” in Carl’s absence. This is notable because most Carl-less examples I’ve heard of the song in the Al-Beach Boys era have Al handing that verse off to someone else. Brian in 2012. I think Chris Farmer sang it at a Carl-less show in 1995 or 96, etc.
Title: Re: Valencia, 1990. 9 songs, no Carl Post by: HeyJude on August 26, 2019, 01:35:49 PM The band must have been offered a nice hunk of money to do those gigs in Spain in 1990. They weren't otherwise touring Europe at the time. They left the US, did the gigs (*without* Carl), and then came back.
I believe Carl also missed several US shows just prior to the Spain gigs. I recall an early era camcorder video circulates of the September 28, 29, or 30 Tahoe gig. Same lineup as Spain as I recall, with Stanley Sichel filling in on lead guitar (and everybody else picking up the requisite Carl lead parts). Title: Re: Valencia, 1990. 9 songs, no Carl Post by: Ian on August 28, 2019, 06:19:17 AM Correct-all details are in the gigs/sessions section of the bellagio website under 1990

Wish someone could get him back into that mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOQKA9TLdw&t=50s |
