Tak (thanks) Robert - your comments are very much appreciated. I am going to begin editing another film project next week ...



.....More BB related material on the way I wonder?

Without seeing the DVD yet I expect Billy to respect the 'what happens on tour, stays on tour' code. 

Anyone understand it?

I still have a BBFUN news letter for the tour and without dragging it out for a direct quote, the band was surprised to hear that their last song to chart in Europe prior to Lady Linda, had been 'Cotton fields' so the decision had been made, at the insistence from Al perhaps, to do a short version of it in concert with little rehearsal. That is my take on Mikes comment. Light hearted only.

From the 70s

...and 30 years later.

That design is great. So un-Beach Boys. Not a surf board, car or cheer leader on it.

Some cool clothing etc here.

It was a newer video but still unsure from where. I have a bit of time so may have troll.

For some reason I'm thinking yellow, THE BEACH BOYS curved above the statue and Brother records along the bottom.


edit

The Fendertones.

Guitar player 1.27 and 1.40 in.

Forget above description details above. Still something I would wear though.

I watched a you-tube video recently, don't know which one, and someone was wearing a sweet 'Appeal to the Great Spirit' Brother records  t shirt. Anyone know where that would have come from?

Isn't google great?

How many times were the Double Rock Baptist Church Choir used on songs that either the band used  or for solo material ? And we're they compensated for their involvement ? Also whatever happened to them to them since then ? 

Compton pastor accused of embezzling $800,000 in church funds
The Rev. E. Joshua Sims of Double Rock Baptist Church has been arrested after an 11-month sheriff's investigation. He allegedly used the money to pay for personal luxuries.

A Baptist minister was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of embezzling more than $800,000 from the church he leads in Compton to pay for personal luxuries, including an expensive car and swimming pool, officials said.

The Rev. E. Joshua Sims, 47, pastor at Double Rock Baptist Church in Compton, was taken into custody without incident about 9:30 a.m. at his home in Corona, said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Sims' arrest concludes an 11-month sheriff's investigation, Whitmore said.

December again!

Just thought it was time to cross off all the above projects we were waiting on 12 months ago.

More Al songs on the way?

Surfin' Safari would be my guess. No stats to back-up but his lead, lyric and from early in their career, 1962.

Dang.... After a quick look at Erics setlist site I am now backing Surfin USA.

. Plus, he dances funny!

...But now a study has found that cringeworthy dancing by middle-aged men is largely down to evolution.

Psychologist Dr Peter Lovatt of the University of Hertfordshire found that men between 35 and their sixties practise embarrassing dance moves to repel younger women...

Great for Iggy and the Stooges. How about a shirtless Iggy leading the end of show free-for-all with a rendition of 'Shortnin Bread'?

Like most here, I have a soft spot for the vocal groups. I would put The Hollies in the same league as The Ronnettes with a distinctive lead singer, great tunes but hardly ground breakers. Looking like they may reunite for the show.

Genesis. ok, ABBA...not my choice, Jimmy Cliff for durability.     

Brian Wilson 1988 to roars of laughter....'27 years from now I'd like to come back and get re-inducted all over again.'

That would be 2015!  The odds?

OT. Any comments on this years batch?

edit...Read all posts.

For all its faults, it brought the band back to the attention of the public and showed them that a group of 40 somethings can still have a hit.

Without it would Mike and Bruce have the attendance they have? Who knows.

Ed!
My son is in LA also stuck inside due to the rain. I hope for both of you and your mental well being, it clears, soon.

Stamos has fans!

Who would have thought.

I snuck this in the Knebworth thread but have had no answer. Wondering if anyone knows where it came from please?

20/20 (or a similar US TV program) aired a profile on the BB's upcoming 20th anniversary year. That's what this footage is from. The entire show has circulated among collectors for decades.

Thanks Jon.

Mikes look has caught on. Any relation ?

The straightest band I can think of was The Moodie Blues and I think thats mentioned in a story I read somewhere. Not just in the sexual sense but as in the fact they didn't piss on forecourt walls, do drugs, booze etc or at least, got caught!

Al wearing white shorts and shoes with black socks. Was he single then or did his wife just want him to look like a dork?

Did anyone on stage or in the organization not have a....eh....queer eye to offer some advice?
