Who is lead guitarist on the current Brian Wilson tour ?  Is Rob Bonfiglio on the tour

The set list that was published on Ultimate Classic Rock for Chicago was a partial set list.    My question to all is who played first?


thx

Does anyone have an update on Scott Bennett ? 

I saw the " Great Brian Wilson' on Saturday night in Atlantic City and must say this was the best I have seen him perform in a long time.  I have previously seen Brian 's  band 68 times but Saturday show  was unreal!   First off the band was very solid as usual- pitch tones and instrumentals terrific- Blondie Al Matt and Darien were great on the individual songs they performed. . In the middle of show Blondie came on stage and performed a 3 song set leading with Feel Flows and dedicating it to Carl- saying (where are you Carl).  He then did Long Promised Road and closed his individual set with Sail on Sailor (masterful!!!)  Al's voice was the same as if he were still in the 70"s especially on Help Me Rhonda.  Matt hit all the high parts perfectly as he sang Don't Worry Baby never missing a beat and Darien was excellent as always singing Darling.

Brian was assisted on and off stage with the assistance of a walker and two aides.  The Band opened the show with California Girls and  Brian's voice was excellent all night long.  Brian seemed very relaxed throughout the show singing and not talking the lyrics. He really was very strong on songs like It Ok, Do it Again, and Please Let Me Wonder and the groups background harmonies on that song were spot on as usual. After each solo song by the other performers, Brian would call out the vocalists saying things like the "great"  Matt Jardine" etc   Of course he brought the entire audience on their feet with God Only Knows and the crowd clapped and yelled for at least 2 minutes.  Band remained onstage prior to the encore for the individual introductions and Brian then closed the show with Love and mercy.  Truly a great show and now we are off to Greensburg and Akron for shows later this week!!!!!

If you get a chance try to see Brian when he comes to your area- if other shows are as good as Saturday I guarantee you will not be disappointed.


 

According to Wikepedia, Richie supposedly was with the Beach Boys starting in 1991.  Not sure if he was at the Cleveland show

When the 50 year reunion tour was held did the group use auto tuning during the live performances?

Also who was responsible for selecting what sidemen toured with the group?

Finally does the current Mike Love touring group use auto tuning in their live performances?

Thanks for any responses.

Scott Bennett could be added as a result of the contributions to the  "Lucky Old Sun" Album.

Can someone please explain the actual reasons that caused Al to no longer be a part of Mike’s touring group?

Does any one have any further updates on Jeff Foskett and his health?
