Mike's band has split the falsettos between Randell Kirsch and Scott Totten, so is Jeff being brought in more of a Carl/Al role like Christian was in, or are they shifting vocals around?

So if this does happen, what could realistically be added to the set for Al:

Come Go With Me
All This Is That
Cottonfields

Very cool, it would be nice if they took that line-up to a few more larger places, hope the show does well.

I think whatever problem they had after the 50th tour about billing David, Al, and Brian as "Beach Boys" was probably settled in BAD's favor as Al and David have been billed as from The BB in ads for their recent shows as well.

What in the hell is that site?! 

They're a "parody" news site: http://en.mediamass.net/blog/mediamass-project

They're finally getting to "Stars & Stripes Vol. 2." However it will only feature tracks from "Love You" and a 17 minute twangy "Shortenin' Bread".

Watch it again Mayoman and read along to both our quotes.

I did and I put the captions on as well. The captions back up what I wrote, although I would guess that he was probably actually saying what you typed. He kind of slurs the middle of the sentence a bit.

"I wrote lyrics for Brian Wilson. Most of them went on an album that was done called Pet Sounds which readied us for the next record which is uh, still an unexplained event. I don't understand it. It was just after the Beach Boys were in litigation with Capitol Records."

The VDP quote from "An American Band".

Doesn't VDP say in the "An American Band" documentary that he wrote songs on Pet Sounds?

Somewhere Near Japan

"Y'know Gene, I've got a 'Love Gun' of my own..."

"I don't really want to hear about it."

"C'mon Gene. You've got 'Nothin' to Lose'."

"Please stop."

"That's it Gene. I'm 'Calling Dr. Love' right now."

"Look can't you at least reference your own work?"

"But that would be no 'Fun Fun Fun'."

"I think we're done here."

First live video I've seen of Pisces Brothers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3KgAlwwvo4

Also note that Brian and Al are in some of the photos used on the screen.

Pretty nice setlist, Kiss Me Baby was definitely a surprise. Show sounded great, theater is beautiful. Bruce also sounded incredibly strong on Wendy, where I know he's sounded a bit weak before.

Good Timin'

I think the top 3 that came out actually are the top 3 in this case.

There was a thread like this for last year's "Beach Boys" tour, so I thought we could probably have another one for news on this year's tour. 

Setlists from the recent tour of Japan show a few developments. "Shut Down" has been dropped from the car medley for quite a few shows, "Be True To Your School" wasn't played at all according to setlists I've seen, and "Pisces Brother" is now usually in the setlist where "Cool Head, Warm Heart" used to be.

Weird.....I was hearing Wake The World....but it could be Busy Doin' Nothin'.....God, I need to get a life 

I thought they were hearing Wake The World for a little while too. I don't really think it sounds too much like Busy Doin' Nothing too much really.

Mike and Bruce have added this to their setlist according to a setlist from Japan posted on Mike's Facebook page.

Mike finally updates his stage shtick by performing a striptease routine in the middle of "Don't Worry Baby".

"Back in my day, we toured without Brian and people liked it. Now everyone's all upset about it. Let me tell you something young man. I wrote every word of "Good Vibrations". Every f'n word!"

The Trader

Is it possible to sing the chorus of Good Vibrations without wiggling your fingers in front of you? 

I can only imagine if Mike's been through the weirdest photos of himself thread. 

Happy belated birthday Mike!

Brian doesn't watch Toy Story at home, ever. He watches the Golden Oldies station.
