What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

I wanna see Brian take Carl's part on Kokomo!!!

Don't tell me that wouldn't bring a tear to all yer eyes!

[Ron]

He does it on Full House. 

[Ron]

yeah, took me a minute to figure out what BA stood for.

just once, somewhere, sometime in this whole "celebration" shebang, I want them to perform at least one unexpected, unconventional song. if not, I will be incredibly disappointed.

Personally, I think Mike would be down with doing something crazy like Honkin' down the highway.  I honestly think he would play it.  Bruce would do whatever anybody wanted him to do.  Al would do it no problem.

Brian, though, still might not do it.  


I hope they come out really electric, and just mix up a bunch of crazy sh*t into a medly for about 3 or 4 minutes, then settle into Wouldn't It Be Nice or Don't Worry Baby, or something along those lines that just shows off how fucking AMAZING they were vocally. 

Start playing California Girls... , switch into "I Get Around"... switch into something insane like "Roller Skating Child" that nobody will understand except die hard fans, go back into "Surfin' USA", then interrupt that with the opening lines of "Dont' Worry Baby" and sing the whole song.  Place goes ape sh*t, bring the curtains down, sell the cd's. 

[Aegir]

speaking of Love You, there's a few songs on there that aren't really all that weird but for some reason don't get performed. I don't think the fun/surf crowd would have a problem with something like Airplane.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Roller Skating Child with Brian on bass: I could die happily immediately after!

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

If they ARE opening the show, my money is on Good Vibrations!

[Ron]

Yes.  Please.

Who would sing lead?  Brian?  Might not be that great.  Most likely "Do It Again", I think.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Brian would sing it with a little help from Jeff.

I don't see any problems with that either.

[Ron]

If they do open with Good Vibrations, I hope they strive to make it Surreal.  This means the stage has to be dark, and Mike absolutely has to wear the Turban. 

[KokoNO]

Good Vibrations would make a killer show opener. Like when U2 opened up with "Walk On" years back. The show starts and BOOM! spine chilling music. That song is perfect to get everybody excited.

[oldsurferdude]

How about this medley....

1. California Girls (Mike)
2. Help Me, Rhonda (Al)
3. Good Vibrations (Brian)

God, I hope not. Comparable list would be BA, BTTYS, and RARM. I have never seen GV ever come across well on the tube. CG, HMR meh. The ante needs to be upped as far as what they may perform. Perhaps the middle period would be best for all concerned with Carnegie type versions of-Darlin', H&V, with ICHM included as a tribute to Carl.

Just when I thought you couldn't get any more annoying, I just learned that you're one of those people that insists on abbreviating everything.  BA?  BTTYS?  RARM?  WTF? 

I can see that would be mentally challenging for the likes of you. Not the brightest bulb on the tree, huh?

Christmas was last month, old man.  I know with your arthritis and all it's probably easier to just leave it up all year round, but we stashed ours away like civilized people back around new years. 

Either it's mentally challenging for me, or it's lazy for you to instead of taking the time to write out the title of a song like a human capable of conversing with others, you instead just type two letters and shun it off on the reader to do your lazy work. 

BTW, it's WAY past bedtime, what if the nurse hears you typing?

[hypehat]

Agreed, Good Vibrations would just slay everybody. I can't think of a single song that would go down better with both fans, and, well, Mike Love 

[Lowbacca]

.. and the general audience. Ah Good Vibrations. It's the Beach Boys. They still alive? Pretty cool. Oh, reunion? Gotta check that out.

Hey Ronald, Ronnny, whatever yer called, if it annoyed your skinny ass like you say it did, then guess what? Mission accomplished!

You two are hilarious, do any of you get genuinely get angry when you read one another's posts or do you laugh and try to one up the other guy with another insult? In any case, Good Vibrations is definitely the way to go. A number one hit and an exceptional display or the band's artistic talent.  Now let's just hope they play!

[Margarita]

Surprise?  There are no surprises anymore.  Viewership is down across the board, so they want as much hype as possible to get people to tune in. 
In the public consciousness, the BBs as individuals are not beloved enough that people care about seeing them perform together again.  Since concerts with "The Beach Boys" name have occurred every year since the dawn of time, most people don't know or care that the original members haven't all performed together in quite some time. 
I would love to see them do a kick-ass performance of GV, and I hope that really happens.  But it's not going to be the showcase moment...not with Adele performing again for the first time since her surgery, and with Paul and Ringo now being on the same broadcast.  If any reunion is made much of, it's going to be that one and you know it.

[Ron]

Wait, wait.... Paul and Ringo are both there?  Also Adele had surgery?  I'm almost as interested in both of those as seeing the boys reunite, this is going to be a good show!

[Mike's Beard]

What surgery did Adele have? Liposuction or a new face?

[GuyOnTheBeach]

What surgery did Adele have? Liposuction or a new face?

Surgery is a loose term, I actually heard it was basically just Bob Dylan and a sledgehammer "warning" her to stay away from the rest of his songs..

[SG7]

Robert Wilson to direct it 

[hypehat]

What surgery did Adele have? Liposuction or a new face?

Stuff done to her throat as her voice kept crapping out and forcing her to cancel tours iirc

[Chris Brown]

I'm on board with a kick-ass "Good Vibrations" to open the show.  Zach hit the nail on the head, it's the perfect song because it's such a huge well-known hit, but also has artistic merit behind it.

[Myk Luhv]

They should do "Take A Load Off Your Feet" then have special guests Van Dyke Parks and Skrillex come out for an orchestrally-arranged extended dubstep remix of "Ding Dang" careening into "Teardrops On My Bed". That's how you start the Grammys!
