I bet there was no mention of Alan prior to "California Saga" a few months back or "Lady Lynda" last night.
Not correct. Mike did mention that "California Saga" was written by Al Jardine when they played it last March in Monterey (I was there) and he mentioned the same about "Lady Lynda" last night in London (2nd show).

HA! I see Let Him Run Wild & Little Girl I Once Knew both appeared on the second night, but no Cal Saga. Perhaps they're just testing things out on this theatre shows early in the year. I've never heard either of the first two I mentioned live...would love for them to stick around. Not sure how I feel about Cal Saga without Mr. Jardine...
LHRW was probably the highlight of the show. I'm Waiting For The Day and THWFOS too.

Am I the only person that finds it really suspicious that JUST that song appeared on setlist.fm the very same day we all were discussing its presence in the setlist?
Maybe, or maybe it's just because they played in Monterey and the song mentions Monterey. It just seems very suspicious that the first time The Beach Boys play it live without Al Jardine is the very same day that we are discussing it on this board, especially since Monterey isn't exactly an unusual tour stop for them. They hit the very same theatre last year with seemingly no evidence of it's appearance. It's our chance to request rare odd songs then. I vote for Rendezvous.

They are leaving Carl's tribute, but not Dennis'?
DYWD with Dennis' vocals was still in the setlist as per yesterday night's show in Napa, CA. The fact that they don't mention his death is gotta be related to the fact that DYWD is an upbeat song and it shouldn't be setup by talking about death. I think that's just fine. Why did they stop using "Forever" as the tribute to Dennis? I wondered if it had something to do with John Stamos' performance of the song on Full House and that being the image Mike would rather attach to Denny's most well-known (and beloved for many) song. Maybe. It could also be that there are already plenty of slow songs in the setlist and Forever would only work for indoor shows anyway. DYWD fits on every type of show and so there can be a Dennis' tribute every night.

I'm surprised they don't tackle "Everyone's in Love With You"...that would fit in their show pretty well actually and give them a chance to play something post-Pet Sounds that's actually semi-decent.
I'm actually surprised they don't do California Saga: California. I think Mike's band would do a great job with it. I think that was probably literally the *one* song Al actually got to pick on C50, and I never got the impression Mike was super into the song. He certainly put enough gusto into singing it on those dates in 2012 (I saw the first C50 performance of the song in Berkeley; Mike clearly didn't remember the song and was using a lyric sheet), but I tend to doubt Mike would add a song to his setlist written solely by Al Jardine. Well guess what? They just played "California" tonight in Monterey. Have you ever been south of Monterey?

Noticed on a recent set list on Mike's Facebook page there was "Getcha Back 2016". Anyone know what the significance of 2016 there is?
From January 25th this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLNY_D8boogI can't make out the new lyrics (maybe someone else can) but it sounds like the lyrics at the end of the first two verses are altered a bit, and the beginning of the tag is changed a bit with added lyrics too. Interesting! Also, the whole ending part has been removed "I leave her and you leave him, can we maybe get it back again?" I'm wondering what the reason behind the rewrite is. Well obviously it was "too negative"
