I can't see a crowd of 20-30 somethings stand for DIA...

Lucky they're performing at the Grammys, then.

Plus people will be on their feet anyway. They'll give the boys a standing ovation the moment they enter the stage.

A nice video package should introduce the band, The show opens, fade into a big screen and it's the boys performing "I get Around" at the TAMI Show..

A couple a clips later the boys come out and bring the house down with two or three classics

Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?!  Amazing.

Some of you are expecting a mini-Beach Boys concert to take over the Grammy's...not gonna happen folks.  I know we are all starved for some Beach Boys action but the Grammy's is NOT where we should be looking for it.   The pacing on the Grammy's show is A.D.D. fast...don't expect them to focus on the Beach Boys longer than the one song they're probably going to sing.  Frankly, they ONLY need one song. 


Hear hear...it sounds like this show is jam-packed with all sorts of guests, and considering that the Beach Boys haven't been officially announced, I'm starting to wonder if they will get to do *anything* at all...

The problem with good vibes is that it would be a Brian lead. IMHO if you have one shot at a grammy performance, and you've got accomplished and natural performers like mike and al, you don't go with a Brian lead. Not because he can't pull off a great vocal, but because of nerves

And also because he can't pull off a great vocal.  :-)

Very few acts get to play more than one song at the Grammys.  There's just not enough time, especially considering all of the other acts scheduled this year.  

Nicki Minaj
Bruno Mars
Adele
Coldplay with Rihanna
Foo Fighters
Glen Campbell with The Band Perry and Blake Shelton
Katy Perry
Taylor Swift
Kelly Clarkson with Jason Aldean
Bruce Springsteen
Paul McCartney

The Beach Boys have still not been officially announced, but if they do perform, I predict they will play Do It Again.  Mike gets the lead on the verses, Brian gets the bridge.  If they do a medley, it won't be complete songs, but rather a bit of this...a part of that.    

You can now add Tony Bennett.

And Chris Brown, Alicia Keys, Bonnie Raitt, and Carrie Underwood.  Looks like Tony Bennett will be performing with Carrie Underwood.  Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys will do a tribute to Etta James.
With Bonnie Raitt performing does that mean Ricky Fatarr will be playing drums? Get him to sit in with the Boys!

I don't know why everybody's convinced they'll only do 1 song.

I watched the grammies about 3 years ago.  Paul McCartney played with Dave Grohl.  They played "I Saw Her Standing There", and then played 'Helter Skelter".  That's 2 songs for 1 Beatle.  f*** we've got 5 Beach Boys!

I'm hoping for a "God Only Knows" with Brian on lead, won't be a dry eye in the house

I'm curious to see what band they use also
Here is my bet
*Totten
*Cowsil
*Sahanaja
*Bennet
*Mertens
*Simons
*Gregory
*Walusko
*Foskett

Ok ok.. My turn to guess.

Wouldn't It Be Nice  or  Help Me Rhonda with Al singing lead on both.  Both are sung by an original member and are up-tempo.

When they did the Tonight Show in '85 or '86, they surprised everyone by performing Graduation Day and that was stunning!  Bruce came up with the idea on the plane to Southern CA..  

I do hope they surprise us and appear on the Grammy show!!

That would be REALLY cool if they did a new version of "Sail On Sailor" with Blondie on lead, and did a studio version that was the lead single!  Maybe it would finally hit the top 40 the 3rd time around!

ANY song where Brian can stand and play bass rather than sitting behind a Teleprompter will be ok for me.

No Bass player in that list , I know Scott Bennett is a multi-instrumentalist but if anything he will be the No2 keyboard player  , so you can add to that list Brett Simons OR just maybe we will have the core members plus a couple of the band MIMING the 1981 Medley  Undecided

He wouldn't actually play the (main) bass anyway, so... I'd rather have him where he's comfortable. And that's behind the keys. And I think that's probably gonna happen.

I imagine something like this with Brian and his keyboard added in the middle. Or maybe far to the side like concerts in the 70s and 80s.

I'm curious to see who will be there, too.  I don't know about Walusko.  I have a feeling that when David was brought on-board, their was no longer a need for Nick (Marks, Jardine, Totten, and Foskett all on guitars).

They may do a song then do the intro of California girls.. then on comes Van Halen takes over the song followed by Katy Perry doing her bit.. maybe not

You do know that Van Halen never did California Girls, right?

Remove Nick Walusko and add Brett Simons and you have the band that's been officially announced there, so you should be pretty close.

As for Walusko not being needed, he probably isn't but I'd still like to see him in the band. If nothing else, while there are four guitarists on stage, there are only two *good* guitarists - Totten and Marks. Foskett and Jardine are both competent rhythm players, but I don't expect their guitars will add much of anything to the sound.
(Though having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if Probyn doesn't play guitar on at least some songs on the full tour.)

But the lead singer in Van Halen did. Including the other 3 members would not be much of a stretch.

Yeah, David Lee Roth released it as a solo record just before he quit the band.  I don't think Ed would want to go there.
