Christopher Cross opened for and joined Mike and Bruce on stage for their New Zealand tour a few years back. A talented performer and a first class gentleman. I was present when after the last show Christopher sought out Mike and thanked him most graciously for having him on tour. Mike and Bruce went of their way to ensure Christopher was included in everything.

I reckon if Brian said "hey, you know Mike I have never been to Peru. You mind if I tag along too? Those Peruvians aren't going to believe how great we sound for a couple of 70 year olds" Mike wouldn't say no.
I'm just looking forward to seeing Mike in one of hand-woven Peruvian hat things with earflaps.
Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy what we have (which is far more than any of us could have dreamt of a year ago).

Thanks -
I guess now we may entertain hopes that there'll be more Euro dates TBA. Since Hong Kong is Aug 25, and this one's a month later, there's space to be filled...
I'd be thinking another hemisphere instead (or in addition to) post Hong Kong.

Doubting Capitol Kiwi surfer? Are you related to a certain P Cohen by any chance? Keep in mind they will be in Japan, Singapore (Hong Kong TBA?). Sure makes $ense to go a few extra hours south to Australia. The dollar is worth more than the $US at the moment. Why wouldn't they want a slice of that action? I'm not doubting for a moment that they will hit Aussie and perhaps Kiwi shores late August. My point was that a media report based on a press release is not definitive.

It said more tour dates would be announced for Europe.
More were. (The Spanish shows.)
I wouldn't expect anything else at this point.
I appreciate that they announced the Spanish shows, it actually said more European territories would be announced so I was hoping the UK would be one of them. Also I'm sure the fans in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore are as eager as we are to hear something as they were mentioned too. Singapore, August 22nd. REALLY!! I'm in Fremantle West Australia so that is a 3 hour (very cheap) flight away!! I'm there . Why? Australia tour has been announced with dates to follow soon. Perth could be on the cards. http://abcdigmusic.net.au/news/beach-boys-heading-to-ozI’m not sure that article constitutes a tour announcement being based solely on the Capitol Records press release of some 3 weeks ago.

Another picture from the studio, with Justyn and Jonah Wilson (Carl's sons, right?). Brian looks happy! Awesome picture. Where Justin and Jonah just there to hang out with the family or could they be there to oversee the use of old tracks from Carl? The coolest pic so far for 2012. Smart move too all round as sometime in the next decade or so new 'franchise' agreements will have to be considerd. Now, where's Matt?

There have been a few copies of the green Hawthorne Hotshots EP sold on eBay the past few years, usually for around $40 odd.
I often wondered what happened to DB. I remember that not so long after his 'visit' he sold a fair chunk of his collection via a mailing list. From memory his sale included the notation that he couldn't bring himself to sell The Honeys for more than a few dollars. Obviously a tad bitter at the time.

All the names bar the 5 early 60s members mentioned should not be involved. Too complicated.
As I have said before, Brian's people have the upper hand here and will call the shots if he is interested. If so I would say one gig for Mike, Bruce, Al and David with the BW band will be as good as it will get.
If that's the case then I cannot see it happening. Quite rightly too.

I'll try that again.
Don't forget Stateside was then owned by EMI and the Reprise deal didn't kick in for a few more years outside the US (or perhaps North America).
In other words - it beats me.
Okay those Stateside singles.
