What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

[hypehat]

Try watching American Football some time. It's excruciating.

The intro to that Springsteen song sounded a little like wild honey.

I know!!!!  For a tiny, tiny moment I thought that Bruce was going to play WH in tribute to the BBs, and that the entire show would feature artists paying homage to the them.  Then my moment of delusion ended.

Can someone tape their performance for me? Can't get any stream to work

[jardine (no relation]

surfer girl. that was AWFUL

[jardine (no relation]

ok, wibn, better, but still. . .

[Craig Boyd]

Wow! The Boys were awesome! Mike was great especially!

[jardine (no relation]

the camera angle for brian behind the piano made him nearly invisible w. some shots. he also looked nervous...

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Wow. Brian looks and sounds amazing.

Pet Sounds 2 anyone?

[Jim McShane]

As long as you mean Brian's band members - THOSE boys carry the load.

My wife was watching with me - after GV she says to me "wow, those guys would be nothing without that band to carry them".

[Craig Boyd]

Yeah but it takes a lot of courage to get back with your old band on a big stage like that, I thought Brian was great. Sure his mic was down a bit but he was still going for it I thought, nice that Bruce was helping out aswell as Jeff on the verses too. Maroon 5 and Foster the People were a letdown though, the BB's could have handled that whole slot better on their own.

[Lowbacca]

Maroon5 .. well..
Foster The People... were oh-kay.

Those Beach Boys... well, I had hoped they'd go all-out for Good Vibrations, but they played it fairly safe. 
Mike in good shape, Brian rather nervous (mainly Jeff audible at the beginning?). What I heard from Brian was good, though. And they all looked great.
(Gotta listen to their performance again with headphones on..)

All over too soon...

[Margarita]

Brian looked good, and his band was spot-on.  But the others?  I might have to go back and watch it again, but I didn't feel like they added anything.  And Mike kept looking at the camera in a creepy-leery way.  Ew.  I was hoping for hum-be-dahs.
I'm sure that normal people enjoyed this performance, and they definitely got a great reception from the audience.  I've been too much of a fan for too long to be objective.

On my Goooooodddddd that was awasome!! N

[jardine (no relation]

hopefully when they start recording new stuff they stay within the measure of themselves, because they are still really amazing, but they simply aren't in their twenties. that's what I like about mc.cartney's new thing w. diana krall quaret==he sounds old and you can hear the weather in his voice, and it sounds fantastic

[Jim McShane]

Yeah but it takes a lot of courage to get back with your old band on a big stage like that,

Yes, I completely agree. That was quite an accomplishment for Brian.

[Runaways]

Brian was freaked out of his mind lol. Bravo foster

[schiaffino]

Bravo, Foster, indeed! Never heard them before, but the singer's voice was amazing! It really suited WIBN, it had that Al-like timbre...simply the best of the tributes! Maroon 5...awful as expected

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's so much negativity on here. I thought it was great to see two SoCal bands that I know have a lot of respect for the Beach Boys getting up there and honoring them. And we all have to agree it was nice that the Beach Boys had their own time there to sing. I know there could have been a lot of worry they would do their late 90s thing of just joining in singing background while some current artist sang the lead lines.

There are more bands out there than The Beach Boys, and the grammys are just doing their thing of bringing new and old, and it couldn't have been done better. Remember when Paul McCartney joined Linkin Park? That was odd.

I can already tell I'm going to get blasted for this, but I just think that we can look at this in a more positive, glass half full way.

I agree with you.

Unfortunately, we Yanks don't have a BBC-like television network funded by license fees eliminating the need for ads. Our television is ruled by the private sector (Murdoch, Warners, Viacom, Ted Turner, etc.). We do have public television with no commercials (PBS-the Public Broadcasting Service), but programming on that network is instead interrupted by annoying hosts begging viewers to donate money. This begging sometimes goes on for longer than the usually abridged programs...then they say "buy the DVD to watch this show in its entirety".

foster the child did so horrible i was shaking my head the whole time :[
