I would also agree that the pre/post recorded vocals are just awful. They sound great, but it doesn't even sound like the Boys. It truly does sound like Jeff Fosket....just listen to Surfer Girl...outside of Brian's vocal on the solo, it's all Jeff.

Dude, this is no attack on Mike Love, at least from me. Mind you, I don't care for the guy or his antics, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote. They sounded bad, even the younger guys and Christian in particular. Listen to the show, and what this great band has accomplished in the past. I don't believe additional "practicing" from more performances will improve much here, frankly, they sound lousy, and just tired and old. If I owned the Beach Boys name, there's no way I would allow this act to rip apart a once proud legacy. Case closed.

Just re watched the video and it was Cowsil who sang the Add Some Music parts, and not real well. Watching alot of the rest of the so, I must add that IMHO Christian Love is a real weak spot in the vocals. Don't know what he contributes on the guitar, but vocally, his leads are weak, generally lagging behind the music a beat, and extremely bland. He now does the lead on Rhonda, and it remains a weak spot. Nepatism at it's best I guess, but the other guys in the vocal blend don't sound much better. Hard to believe the name f this band is the Beach Boys...such a downgrade from what I remember growing up in the 60s'/70s, not to mention the live performances in the 80's and 90's. Very weak.

To your point, Scott sounds like he sang a portion of add some music to your day and he didn't sound good at all, very rough. And the guy who sings the falsetto part now who usually has been pretty good in the past just sounds like he's screeching now. Boy at 80 years old can Mike ust hang this up already, what he's doing to the beach boy name and Legacy is awful.

I watched some of that Elk Grove concert and I have to tell you it really is not good. Mike and Bruce just don't sound good at all. And I have to say Christian love just doesn't sound right singing some of the songs, he does sing lead on it's about time and just doesn't do a good job on it. He seems too slow and too bland. It's a shame what's happened with this band now

I don't know if Mike gained control of the Beach Boys in the early 90s as much as Carl just let go of his portion of control. Seems he was content with all that was going on in the Beach Boys wortld and his own personal world to seed the day-to-day business functions of the Beach Boys over to Mike. That included the direction that Mike wanted to take the band in. It just seemed like Carl was more resigned to the fact that the Beach Boys had become more or less an oldies group and wanted to make sure that the shows on stage were as professional as great as they could be. But it seemed like Carl had lost his interest in trying to keep the Beach Boys creative and current which of course fed mikes fire. Never quite understood why Carl was not more aggressive in his leadership of the band as much as he was with Beckley Lamm and Wilson

The shows W\O Carl were pretty bad, sloppy, under rehearsed. I always remember the Queen Mary show Summer of 81, live on TV nationally for July 4th...absolute nadir if their career....performance was dreadful, seen by Carl who supposedly said same from his solo tour.
