"All these people make me feel so alone..."

That one got to me, even more so after seeing it live.

As far as the narrative portion, I would have liked to hear Van Dyke recite them with his twisted cadence.  When I read them, that's the voice I hear in my head. 

My vote goes to Owen Wilson for narrating. Hey, blond hair, and his last name is Wilson. How can you go wrong?

Alright, maybe not haha. I love TLOS how it is, and seeing it live at the Keswick was fantastic. Would travel to see it again, live experience is better than the album, imo.

pretty sure he has musical guests at the end, like everyone else 

He did "Goin Home" on Leno. I wish he would do "California Role" tonight - can't wait to hear it live Saturday!

and the first single from 'pleasure island'
SMART GIRLS!

I do know there is going to be a meet up at the Athena (Greek restaurant). Dont know when I'll be there, but I know that much haha I can't wait for Saturday!

Okay, thanks! That place sounds pretty good, what are the price ranges at the Athena and what time are you all meeting up? Sounds fun!

So I'm going to see Brian a week from this Saturday and was wondering what are some good hot spots to visit this way? First time going (to Glenside/Philly, not to see Brian heh). What are the price ranges at Tower Records and do they sell vinyl?

thanks!

Here's Everyone's In Love With You paired with Love Is a Woman:

I know! Im sorry man. My ride was running a bit late and we didn't get there until about 7:35. I was disappointed I couldn't meet with you and Steve at Starbucks  sorry I missed you guys!
hopefully there will be a next time what a fantastic concert!

Yes thank you Scott and John! It was great meeting you after the show Scott and I'll say it again the show was fantastic! Thanks for playing my requests and the pictures! Definitely a memorable night that I'll remember for years to come.
-Don't Back Down 

Thanks Smile-Holland!

hm, maybe I'll clear my history see if that works in the meantime

hey donald: I posted in your thread but I'll post here as well. but yeah I'd like to get together it all depends on when we're leaving.

Steve Mayo was the other one who said he was going so it would be cool to meet you guys!

hey donald, I'd love to get together before the gig. depending on when we leave we should be able to meet up. me might leave 6:00 or 6:30 since it's only 30 minutes away. I'll send you a PM with further details once I get them. sound good?

Or maybe something blocks it every now and then. For the past week or so I haven't been able to get on here at all. Rare occasions (like now) Ive been able to. Is something wrong with the server? I hope not. If there was hope its fixed! Anyone else have problems?

Scott and/or John: I can't wait to see you guys this Saturday at the Arts Center in Ashland, KY. Any chance for the following tunes to be performed: Don't Back Down/'Til I Die/Sail On Sailor/The Little Girl I Once Knew/Good To My Baby/(and maybe even Heroes and Villains?) Thanks in advance!

Cool, Steve! We should all have a Smiley Board meet-up before the show.

I've seen the Beach Boys band in 1999 - 2005 - 2007 (Brian in 2006 and now next month 2008) and they've all been fun, and very good shows. My favorite had to be last year's because the energy was great from the band & the audience. I'm stoked for next weekend (especially with some potential rarities )!

I'll be at the Paramount Arts Center show as well! would love to hear some rarities donald - want to meet at the venue before the show?

"I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"

always loved that little snippet at the end. wish there was a full version.

Thanks, DBD. I was curious if they attempted any of the slower songs like "We Three Kings", "White Christmas", "I'll Be Home For Christmas", or even "Auld Lang Syne".

You're welcome. yeah I wish they would have done "We Three Kings" and especially "Auld Lang Syne"

When I saw the Christmas show they played The Man With All The Toys, Santa's Beard (I think), traditional r&r tunes (rockin around the Christmas tree I think was in there), Little Saint Nick of course, can't remember any others at the moment (that was in 05, it's probably the same currently).

ooops! 

I absolutely love the mono mix of Don't Worry Baby. What where they thinking on the stereo version released on the twofer, or wherever it appeared first?

I was somewhat let down by the DVD. I was expecting more of a BWPS dvd approach, have a good amount of studio footage separate from interviews and the like, and then the full Capitol performance. More bang for your buck. oh well, nevertheless it's a great album, I think.
