At this point, I would trust the official press release over Al. He has a history of saying slightly nutty things about a reunion.

The band has agreed to and announced it will play 50 dates. That's all.

Well granted, they will be traveling first class, with a compliment of technicians, roadies
and staying in the best hotels etc.

However at 70 years of age, even fifty shows seems like a lot to me. but over a hundred seems
crazy, given their age, and all the delicate politics between them, and the complexity of the
harmonies.

I don't like the parking and huge crowds and prices, but I love watching the DVD's of a historical
tour like this. I assume there will be a live album and DVD at some point to document all this
I can't wait for that.

50 shows, spread-out over a year, is an average of about 1 per week. When Brian and Mike/Bruce tour, don't they usually do more than 1 per week? I think Mike/Bruce sometimes do 2 per day.

Mike and Bruce play up to 100 shows a year now. Most years, Brian does about 40. Not sure for Al.

This seems like a compromise number to ensure everyone is able to do all the shows. Brian won't be the front man,  after all, so I'd think the shows would be less stressful for him.

There will be lots of musicians and vocalists.  Even on a bad night, Brian's band gets the job done.  Add to that the vocals of Al, Bruce, Mike, Scotty, and John C., and they should be able to get through 100 shows over the course of a year.   If one performer gets laryngitis, someone else can pick up the slack.

Hi everyone, I'm really excited about the reunion concerts next year! I've seen Brian live twice, but this would be my first BBs concert ever  Grin

One quick question, anyone knows if there are any dates in Canada? Thanks in advance!

Mike & Bruce have been known over the past decade to do around 150-170 shows a year...including some private shows that aren't listed.  40 sounds about right for Brian, possibly more shows during the busier touring years.  Al does a few public shows, a few private shows that aren't listed publicly either, but his total number of shows is i'm guessing 10-15?  Same for David?

I'd be glad to have them do 50 shows and still keep the good vibes going within the group.  As for Mike & Bruce's other dates...how will they prevent confusion between the Mike & Bruce shows and the full reunion shows?  Both are billed as The Beach Boys.

Excellent point.... And what happens AFTER the 50th anniversary tour when punters buy tickets expecting to see Brian, Al  and Dave - oh, and Jeff - up here with Mike and Bruce? Or is this also a retirement "farewell" tour?

I have been thinking the very same since the reunion tour was announced , its very much IMO a no turning back scenario for all concerned HENCE this just maybe the last we get to see all the respective guys on stage ( which considering age etc should not be a great surprise ) I personally hope not.
The behind the scenes for the last few months has possibly been rather interesting , even possibly BRI revoking Mikes licence to use the BB's name in the future WHO KNOWS ? One thing is for sure , in that with this Tour there are going to be a number of very talented musicians out of work

Maybe Brian really will retire after this tour and Al and Dave will continue touring with Mike & Bruce.

Maybe Bruce will retire, and Brian, Mike, Al and Dave will spend their remaining years touring as the Original Beach Boys

Not according to what Brian posted on the Blueboard last night. He's already talking about more solo tours after 2012.

I thought that Alan's facebook post about sacrificing their individual careers might be read as an insight on this... Perhaps Mike & Bruce cancelled their 2012 (or their Summer) dates to do this. Perhaps they will never tour again as licensed Beach Boys. I don't think Al was talking only about himself.

Let Brian retire already after the reunion tour!

It's bad for people with mental issues to retire. You need something to occupy your mind, to stop you from ruminating.

 I think Mike honestly loves being a performing Beach Boy too much to stop touring until health issues force it.

That could be too, and I don't mind if he tours until he's 100, I've never been the type to think somebody's too old to do anything...


Mike is a very proud person, though.  It's completely within his character to think that this tour with Brian is a good way to go out, and then he can live out his days thinking he did the honorable thing for his cousin, they buried the hatchet and did it one last time for old time's sake, etc.  I really believe Mike wants redemption.  Even when Mike sues Brian he has a way of thinking it's really for Brian's good. 

Like you said though I think he probably enjoys nothing in the world more than being on stage, so I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

AGREE with the above ^ statement — Michael Love should NOT retire!  LOL

And, seriously, neither should Brian!
