Very excited to be seeing The Beach Boys with the National Symphony Orchestra this evening at The Kennedy Center. There's also supposed to be "Surprise Special Guests"...worst case scenario...Stamos? Dream come true.....well...Brian & Alan are free tonight? I'll give a report later tonight or tomorrow morning! I remember seeing that 'Special Guests' mention for that show and thinking duds for sure. Will await with interest. If it's not Stamos, David Marks or Christopher Cross then I got nothing

Same set last night with Symphony minus dance dance dance and do it again. Another great Brian quote about Mike before that's not me he mentioned Mike tours as the beach boys and he wanted to let everyone know that so nobody thought they were the only act in town. He followed that up by saying we (referring to he and his band) were not that good anyway and he didn't sing that's not me originally but he was gonna try his best anyway and hoped we liked it. The we're not that good comment got a "we are that good Brian much better in fact" or something along those lines from Al which was funny. The symphony also sounded much better and fused into the band then night one especially on the pet sounds tracks.

Truly was a hilarious moment. He mentioned Mike again during the Pet Sounds part of the show saying how That's Not Me Was originally sung by Mike and nobody can sing it as great as him but he was going to try and hoped everyone liked it. Forget to mention when he made the first Mike comment some people booed Mike . Anyway symphony orchestra was great on Pet Sounds they then did Vibes with the orchestra and left coming back for encore band only. Al sang second half of Funx3 which was nice. Overall amazing show can't wait for night 2 tomorrow! Hopefully they change the setlist a bit tomorrow but I doubt it's very likely.

Intermission at the Boston Pops show they cut a good amount of songs for this show. All the car songs gone except I Get Around, no Funky Pretty And they moved the faster songs dance dance and get around to the end of the set before Blondie's spot. Al sounded great on Wake the World so I think he's better. No kissed her, cotton or honkin so that was cut as well. Brian in pretty good voice, sounded great with Orchestea. Brian made funny comment about how he wrote dance dance dance for Mike but since Mike's on his own tour as the Beach Boys he'll sing it. Then he said don't ask why it's really complicated all you need to know is I'm Brian Wilson and he's the Beach Boys. Overall good first half. Sorry for the scattered comments will try for more complete thoughts later after the show.

If there is talk of this tour going into next year then possibly band members have other pre arranged commitments. Some fill-ins would be required if that is the case.
That's exactly the case -- this tour has a lot more dates than other BW shows and some of the "regulars" are not available for all the shows. Even Al will be missing one show due to a date conflict. Can you share which date this is? Brian's website has not mentioned Al missing a show; he's listed on the main tour literature/logos/banners (not sure what to call them). Al has a date scheduled with the Surf City All Stars on July 23rd and it's a private gig which makes me think the people requested Al be there, so he's probably gonna miss Brian's date in Louisiana. Again this is a guess based on a quick look at the schedules but idk.

Agreed on "I Can Hear Music"....however, also agree that Cowsill is greatly underused! Bring back Wild Honey!!!
I talked to Scott about this and he said Cowsill has been under the weather recently and hasn't been able to sing "Wild Honey" perhaps that's why he's bein doing so few leads recently as well.

Here is the setlist from last night in Hagerstown. The band was great, the venue was cool but the crowd was the lamest I've ever witnessed in 30 years of attending concerts!!!! Wow, there are 7 songs from Today! (8 if you count R[h]onda, which of course wouldn't really be accurate.) They are still doing a lot from Today! but i wish they'd do She Knows Me Too Well, Ike did it with Brian and did a fantastic job sure they could pull it off.

I also have to add after seeing it back to back nights, Ike sings one heck of an I Can Hear Music certainly the best by anyone I've ever heard, aside from Carl that is.

You're So Good To Me had the crowd clapping the whole way through last night, and Bruce sounded stronger than last summer at AMT on it. Agreed KDS, if I didn't say it above, that was the best "Disney Girls" I've heard. When Bruce struck that last lone pitch at the end you could've heard a pin drop in the room. It was marvelous. I think Mike and Bruce should put together a "history" type show like The Eagles did. The first part can be 25 songs from 62-66, finishing with the Pet Sounds hits. Then after that, a lot of the one-timer greatest hit type fans will be ready to go home! Then, we get 25 songs from 67-...well, as far as they want! Just a pipe dream I s'pose! That would be pretty awesome. It's a shame that, except for the occasional playing of All I Wanna Do, the Sunflower album is completely ignored. Not to be nit picky about a great show, but I'd like to see them select a different Dennis song. Do You Wanna Dance is a great song, and gets the crowd going, but I'd prefer something like Forever, Little Bird, or Be With Me as a Dennis tribute. But, great show. If I happened to have extra money lying around, I would buy tickets for the Hagerstown show tonight. Maybe Til I Die cracks the list. I'm heading to the show tonight as well, I'll be sure to give a report as soon as I can Cool. Enjoy. I have to save some coins because Brian's Pet Sounds date in Bethesda goes on sale two weeks from tomorrow. Or else, I might think about riding up there. Yeah I got a friend to go with me a pay for both tickets luckily otherwise I wouldn't go because I feel the Brian tickets might be a little pricy

Put in mine too, hopefully at least one gets played. I'm sure we all requested all I wanna do so maybe on that one fingers crossed. The way it's going maybe we can get a 50 song set since they've had a few days off haha. We shall see tomorrow, can't wait!
I'm looking forward to it as well. Should be a great show, and a much needed dose of sunshine during a bad winter. Couldn't agree more! No matter if it's Mike & Bruce or Brian, Al and Blondie i always leave the show with a smile on my face! Doesn't matter what they play or for how long it's all feel good music for me and each time I see them I feel lucky to be there again.

Wow! Sounds might powerful...just as I had been hoping when they announced The Lyric gig. Hopefully the setlist holds up, or continues to grow! Especially hoping to hear "Till I Die" and "The Warmth of The Sun"...would be amazing to add in "All I Wanna Do"...and get "Wild Honey" back on there!
I honestly think if enough of us request All I Wanna Do they'll play it for sure.

I can't remember who posted it.
But somebody on this forum (might've been the 2015 M&B thread) said if you post song requests on Mike's Facebook page, he sometimes includes them.
I'm going to try that next week for the theater gig I'm seeing in Baltimore.
He does. Not always, and it's obviously more likely if it's something they do at least semi-regularly so they have it rehearsed up -- so for example a request for Betsy, which they play often but not always, is more likely to happen than one for Surf's Up, which I don't think they've played since the UK tour -- but it does happen, and definitely worth a shot. I've seen Brian do Surf's Up, so I wouldn't be disappointed if M&B don't do it. The three big requests I'd have are All I Wanna Do, Til I Die, and Warmth of the Sun. I know all three of these have been performed at theater shows in the last year or so. They did my request for All I Wanna Do back during the summer for a non theatre show which was a shock for me. But in addition to All I Wanna Do id love to hear some Pet Sounds stuff, Here Today and You Still Believe In Me (which Ike does a great job on btw). Maybe Scott will see the requests on here or Mike here's hoping. Maybe start a request thread? Haha. I know there's at least 3 or 4 of us on here going to the Baltimore show who would love to hear All I Wanna Do.
