Is Brian or Chicago playing first?

I've seen a longer setlist for Chicago on another message board.

Adam, I've gotta disagree with you about "Merry Christmas Baby" -- that's one of my favorite songs on the Christmas album. Yeah, it does sound a bit unfinished to me, but it's still far and away more pleasing to these ears than any cut with the orchestra. In my opinion, that was not a good pairing of artists between the BBs and the orch. Just my opinion, YMMV.

The day has come, and billyhinsche.com will be going down soon. However, the content from Billy's site will still be available at BBFC's website. BBFC hosted Billy's website originally, and is now hosting a legacy site for him at:

There are no sales of his videos or CDs from these pages, but we'll let everyone know if his product goes back on sale.

They told the audience that Dennis had a sick child.

EDIT: Ian, have you tried the Georgia Tech student newspaper? I know there was someone at the show taking pics for the yearbook, there was probably someone there for the paper as well.

Atlanta, at Georgia Tech on March 30, 1972

I saw one of those shows in ‘72 with Bruce, although Dennis wasn’t there. Even without DW, that was a great show.

The issue appears to have been resolved, thankfully.

Is anyone besides me getting messages from their antivirus program about the Endless Harmony board being infected by a script?

Can't access Instagram. Which granddaughter is she?

Also, Dennis is singing part of the lead on “It’s a New Day.” Agree it’s a solo DW project, but a lot of his solo tracks are included in the FF set.

Because Carl is irreplaceable!!

The photo of Carl from the top post was taken from a calendar done for the Carl Wilson Foundation years ago. IIRC, it’s a personal photo from either Gina or one of his sons, and the calendar is the only place it was published.

Landy is behind the estrangement, as far as I can tell. He worked to drive a wedge between Brian and all of his family members. I've also heard that the brothers reconciled towards the end.

Happy natal day!

 

I love the idea of releasing both Flame albums as a double disc set!

Has anybody else noticed that the track listing for the six-LP set has only one side on the sixth disc?

But having Ray Charles perform "Sail On, Sailor" was a stroke of genius. 

Easily the high point of the show, all around.

It’s always sounded more like a Bruce arrangement to me.

Disagree -- I think this is just lawyer business, not something personal.

How in the world did the Grammys fail to include Billy Hinsche in their In Memoriam segment?

Anybody seen any photos of Brian eating with a fork or spoon in his hand? Al could have been thinking about Carl, who definitely dined lefty-style.

In David's case, he's the one suing for streaming royalties.

Very sad news… I’ve often referred to Hawkins as “the happiest drummer in rock” because he always had that big grin when he was drumming and was so thoroughly engaged in his playing. He did a great job singing “Holy Man.”

Joshilyn, do you know how countertenor works -- isn't that a form of head voice?
