went to the BW concert 5 27 17 pantages th hollywood ca... OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Brian and the band were on FIRE..!! Opened with H+V.. New songs played ive never heard live.. Feel Flows.. She knows me too well..Salt lake city.. Car medley with Al on lead vocals.. LDC shut down honda.. .. Great to also hear.. Wake the world.. Add some music.. California.. Do you wanna dance.... BW sang the whole show with hardly any talk/singing like i heard in Indio ca 1st date of tour... Nick is using a Bass//Guitar ? on PS on a few cuts.. Looks like a Jaguar body with a long neck.. With a more treble bass sound than Bob Lizick and playing different lines as Bob.. The pantages is a very uncomfortable place to see a show..Seats are very small and no room between rows to speak of.. I will NEVER go to that venue EVER again..period

yea that pic on page one was from may 1983 sunday and i believe it was mothers day.. Santa Barbara ca.. Went to the show that day.. drove up from anaheim ca with some friends BW had just gotten back from Hawaii with Landy and BW played the whole show.. Met BW and Al.. Bruce.. Dean Torrence. And Landy... They all signed My BB hat.. Also talked to BW.. We played Guess the LP.. LOL He started to sing Feel Flows i said Surfs up he sings Just once in my life i said 15 big ones he sang Nite was so young i said Love you.. this went on with Landy and other people right there for about 5 more songs.. They we got interupted i buy a guy asking for an autograph and when BW grabbed the paper the guy goes ..You have been served then ran away.. LOL Opening act was Pablo Cruise.. Excellent band..!!.. It was fine spring day sun sand and the beach boys.. True story by the way..thx..

The Indio show was 110 minutes with no break by the way.. Also i dont consider Little Honda a deep cut but they played that also.. BW nailed that one... Back in the day i remember people of all ages went to BB BW shows.. little kids to senor citizens.. ..WELL.. At least in Indio which is near Palm Springs there was nothing but old people.. Now dont jump down my throat cause im old also.. BUT,, I give off energy to the band.. (2nd row} everyone around me sat on their hands no energy at all.. When i yelled we love you Brian old fart next to me and gave me a dirty look.. Im surprised they didnt cut the concert short.. Audience was asleep at the wheel.. Crowd was about 2500 - 3000..

Yea i went to the Indio show.. Very good show overall.. The deep cuts were.. The nite was so young.. Let him run wild.. and get this hold on to your hats>>!!!!!! FEEL FLOWS..With a fine lead vocal from Blondie Chaplin.. The first set mixed with hits and deep cuts was outstanding.. Brought tears to my eyes.. Matt also sang Dont worry baby.... Now i have to tread carefully.. I would pay to see Brian sing the phone book with his excellent band.. And i have tickets for hollywood and santa barbara in MAY.. SO.. I have read on this board that BW talks//sings Pet Sounds LP.. WELL.. Thats what he did.. UMM ... I didnt care for that.. He didnt do it on every song tho..Caroline No he sang great.. Also Alan and Matt did alot of singing also on pet sounds.. I guess ive been lucky to see the 2000 + 2001 + 2007 shows..So its not fair to compare in a way.. also Alan sang California and BW sang his ass off on Love and Mercy. I didnt get to see the 2016 shows so i feel lucky.. last time i saw BW was 2015 on his birthday at greek theatre.. Lots of merchandise for sale $$$..I bought the NEW tshirt that wasnt sold last year.. Gary Griffin and Billy Hinsche played keyboards...

Im a big fan off CHICAGO.. But i finally lost it when Bill Champlin left the group.. And what happened to that monster guitar player Dwayne Bailey..?? The players that came in to replace them were not as good.. the last time i saw them was september 2015.. Everything they played was real old and they had become an oldies act..well played but no soul.. RIP..

Just saw this on TV tonite.. Anybody seen this.? Shows 2 middle aged women.. Getting scripts then heading down to the beach.. Interesting thing is the ORIGINAL backing track to California Girls is playing in background..!! To my knowledge this has never been done before.. The original backing track and no vocals.. Interesting..

If memory serves me correctly.. In 1996 at the R+R hall of fame i saw a contract on display with those words written on contract.. Also on display was a surfboard donated by Bruce.. Business cards with Brians name listed as leader ..Hawthorne address and phone number.. Something with the name Carl + Passions written on it.. Guitars picks gold records etc..

You can put on this list.. Peter Green Jeremy Spencer Danny Kirwan.. From the original Fleetwood Mac.. They all flipped out.. LSD in question came from soundman.. Owsley Stanley of the Grateful Dead....Mac played many gigs with the DEAD.. orange sunshine.. purple haze.. orange barrel.. paper acid... clear light.. among other variations.. BW also took this along with many others .. If you lived on west coast in 60"s and 70"s this is what you bought.. how far east this went i dont know.. The stuff was to strong.. No one knew how many mikes was a normal dose.. Pete townsend took acid at WOODSTOCK.. Said he was on a trip for a WEEK.. UNACEPTABLE... The Dead played woodstock.. LOL.. This info is in numerous books and online.. You can laugh if ya want but its true..

I think NPP is a fine record and i still play it to this day.. Quite surprised i enjoyed all the young guest artists on it.. Saturday Night rocks.. !! Having Al Jardine on vocals and Blondie Chaplin was a great move also.. The BVS vocals are outstanding.. I have nothin bad to say about NPP.. I saw some of the songs performed last summer at the greek theatre in Los Angeles.. Excellent show..!! Rock on Brian..!!
