What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

[Ron]

Guys, I've been away from this thread, so my job upon returning is to bring you all back into reality.

They're going to play "Kokomo", then it's going to turn into "Good Vibrations".  Brian is going to sit there behind a keyboard making weird hand gestures.  Mike is going to prance around the stage a bit, and then they're going to give them some sort of award.

I just read the interview with Al where he said he would like to do something acapella at the Grammys

Jesus, that guy has no clue how boring that would be for the world

I too am so uninterested in an acapella performance. Especially "Hearts...". Even as a kid buying early BB lp's I despised it and womdered why a cool band would do a song as corny as that.

what album were you buying as a kid that had that song on it? I can only think of the Smiley Smile / Wild Honey twofer, and Hawthorne CA.
[/quote  I think I mixed it up with "Graduation Day" another clunker!!! try and forgive me.

Sounds more like it, fantastic 

[The infamous Baldwin Organ]

CNN just wrote that the Grammys will also honor Glen Campbell this year. I don't know that he'll do anything with The Beach Boys, but being in the same building would make it easier, should they want to!

Yeah I saw his band (Instant People) posted it a while back but didn't think much of it. Tbh I'm actually quite excited for the Grammys, even if I have to sit through a needle:haystack ratio of greatness to bilge. Are the Grammys broadcast in the UK or am I just being an ignoramus?

Which, of course, is not sung a capella.  So you were wrong on two counts!

[Ron]

Also though, he was wrong for suggesting that that song is boring.  So three.

Not sure about Kokomo as its non BW.

How about a sweep?

One Mike vocal and one Brian. One well known tune and one SMiLE.

'Do It Again' and 'Heroes and Villains' (with a capella segment) 

[Ron]

Kokomo.  Good Vibrations.  Their two biggest hits. 

[Lowbacca]

Could be. Ya.

You guys do not miss a thing!! But I wouln't want it any other way. Ok, I do not care for those performances. I would love to hear/see them do "Our Prayer".

[Mr. Wilson]

WOW..THWFOS boring.? Guess it depends what side of fence you sit on..I will agree it seemed kinda corny..Or the re write ,A Young Man Is Gone..When i was in my teens + twenties..But as you get older and you find LOVE fleeting and relationships dont last..It takes on a charm of its own.. Its kinda like a fairytale or a famous short story..Everyone wants a love affair to last forever..It happens rarely so the song is something to aspire too..Plus the 1st time i heard BB sing it live..I was shocked how good they sounded.I like the U Tube video of 84 also quite a bit.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Biggest question is: will be Brian's keyboard be plugged in at the reunion?

God, I hope so!

[KokoNO]

Kokomo with girls from the original video returning on stage in swimsuits. GILFs?

Nah, Mike doesn't allow any women over the age of 25 to come within a 20 yard radius of him.

That should be the law of the land

[Myk Luhv]

I don't really dig the a cappella tracks the group has done either. I find them either corny or boring/grating to listen to, or both. I can't put my finger on why, but I think it's the way they're sung -- they always sort of do that thing where they sing in unison, each coming in after the other, and builds up and suddenly dissipates -- and even they kinda sound bored singing it too. It's cool for a portion of the song but for an entire two minutes? Be a little more inventive, please! Their other vocal arrangements don't suffer in the same way, seems to me. I'm thinking mainly of songs like "The Lord's Prayer" or even "We Three Kings..." but also "Their Hearts..." and so on.

That is one of the few things Myke will never have to concern himself with-women under 25 and over 25 wanting to be within a 20 yard or 2000 mile radius of him.

Mike was creeping on the girls when I saw him in August...

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

I'm just worried it will be an exact replica of the Reagan tribute....... but with Brian sitting there motionlessly at an unplugged keyboard.  

[SMiLE Brian]

Hoping Brian makes a joke about Mike being forever trapped in 1964.
