Love this band, I think they are great.  Lots of BW/McCartney influences, among many others.
Check out "How Lucky Am I" and "These Words" especially.
And keyboard player has the same fashion sense as Bruce Johnston.  What's not to like??   

As mentioned in the Tour thread, I saw Brian at the next show after the fall.
He was absolutely in his normal (frail) physical shape and in excellent mood.  There doesn't seem anything to recover from.
Seems that his hand just slipped from the chair while he was going to sit, which caused the the chair to move. 

Great show last night in Malmö, Sweden, the last show of the European leg.  Excellent concert hall.
Brian was in fantastic mood and in fine physical shape.  Looks like the Olso's fall had zero repercussions so no worries there.  Several funny Brianisms.
No surprises in the set list, which was to be expected.

I can post the set list later, for reference.

The Dubai show just finished, reports indicate a 1.5h show without intermission

And are we completely sure they are not from the same show?
It wouldn't be the first time that something that was thought to be written in stone turned out to be wrong after some good investigation..

Wow! Congratulations you guys!!   


Any woman that is patient enough to have BB songs played at her wedding should be married immediately! 

Well ok, I admit it:  I am, in fact, Mike Love.



Phew, time for me to medidate.

I get the feeling some people don't like me here. If I've done anything wrong, I apologise. Should I see myself out? I really don't want to be somewhere where people aggressively dislike me. (You'll say no one has been aggressive except me...ok...eye of the beholder and all that)

Serious question. I like the BB. I like talking about the BB. This thread is no a sh*t stirring thread. Swear on my life that's not why I started it. I assumed a few more of you might had proofs and heck, it comes out soon. This was a genuine attempt to get a conversation going. But. There are a few of you who won't believe that and so constantly take shots and have digs at me. If you'd rather I left, I'll go.

Hey Ian, stay mate. I enjoy the tone of your posts and your work outside this forum.

"Wake The World" was played Saturday night, July 9, in Phoenix. My memory is pretty lousy, but with a search I couldn't find any mention of it played previously by any of the groups. Certainly a deep cut, and possibly quite a rarity, in terms of live performances.

Yep, that's being played pretty regularly since 2015

Do these count?

Pet Sounds 50th – Mini Documentary

https://youtu.be/s-2-KLAcIAU

Anyone have the Liverpool setlist?

Sounds like they soundchecked "Marcella" in Liverpool, which they haven't don't much on the last few tours. I think they only did "Marcella" three times last year.

Yeah they had tried "Marcella" at a London soundcheck too.


According to AH and BH on FB, in Liverpool "Marcella" replaced "Do It Again", "Then I Kissed Her" replaced "Honkin'", "Monster Mash" and one chorus of "Proud Mary" were played.  "Girl Don't Tell Me" was also played.

50 Years Of Good Vibrations tour dates announced.

Oct. 8 – Biloxi, Miss., Beau Rivage Resort & Casino
Nov. 17 – Santa Rosa, Calif., Luther Burbank Center For The Arts
Nov. 18 – Stockton, Calif., Bob Hope Theatre

There's still hope for an European leg in October/November then, cool

Well....that was a bit awesome.



I've got loads of pictures and video and such (including Honkin' full song). Did the meet and greet, sound check, met cool people but the gig, oh that was the highlight. Oof! Back of the net!

Will you share the video of Honkin'? 

The word is that "Honking Down the Highway" was played tonight in Manchester!

It was. I let out a ridiculously excited shriek when Brian announced it.

I'll post more details when I get home (on a train now). They played Little Honda which surprised me as well.

Also no Cotton Fields (apparently it was played in London)

Yes it was, but I assume that it was now replaced by "Honkin'".
I'd say you traded up!

I will be uploading videos from the London shows, most of them from the front row.  I will update this post as videos are up.
Apologies in advance for the shaking but hard to stand still when Blondie is rocking the house..

My personal comments on the London shows:

- the highlight for me was definitely Blondie. He's like a separate gig inside the gig, a complete different show and energy.  Can't believe I got to see Blondie singing Sail On Sailor and the other two songs.  During the intermission I heard people saying that they didn't know who this guy was but it blew their minds
- a second highlight is of course Al Jardine. I loved every single second of his singing and actually most of it was in-mike.  I feel the teleprompter makes him feel more secure now
- much has been said about Brian.  It was not the greatest performance of his I have ever seen but I nevertheless feel blessed to have been in the same room with him one more time
- Gary and Billy did a great job, continuously switching instruments and sounds.  The vocal blend is a bit different than with Darian and Scott as well as their keys/vibes playing. Not worse, just different.
- "One Kind of Love" was probably the weakest song each night.  It felt rushed (especially on Saturday) and Brian doesn't seem very confident singing it yet.   The drums in the chorus could be played differently, in my opinion. Also it has an odd position in the setlist, right between "Do It Again" and "Wild Honey"
- I surprisingly actually enjoyed the car songs but I think that's because they were sung by Al
- It was cool to hear the band playing "Black Night" by Deep Purple!
- The Pet Sounds set felt less polished that I was used to, e.g. compared to 2002 or 2006.  Also, it often kinda felt like "Matt Jardine presents Pet Sounds"
- The mix was not perfect. On Saturday Nicky's guitar was way too loud all the way through, as well as the keyboards as the beginning of some songs
- The background vocals seemed less up front than other shows I've seen.  The leads were clear and loud but the background vocals were somehow not prominent enough
- The coda of "Funky Pretty" could have especially used louder and longer background vocals
- The lights also had some issues, e.g. not illuminating the right singer/player at the right moment
