I'm going to sleep after Glen. Gentle On My Mind done by some nobodies, which is nice. If by nobodies. I
wonder if Glen Campbell nerds think that was terrible like some of us are thinking Maroon 5 or FTP were terrible. Perfectly servicable.
Glen Campbell is broing out here. He's LOVING IT.

You really think Brian should go out there and do another set at this farce?
Seriously love The Beach Boys but I think the way this was mapped out was the best possible route. I'm waiting for the real show when they hit the road and start rocking some sheds.

COMMENT: Listening on Studio Monitors (JBL 4311) via live cable feed (like the rest of the country) I could hear Brian. Not as loud as I thought he should be in the mix, but he was there.
I heard Brian sing live last month. The man has no problem hitting the high notes or staying on key. I doubt he was afraid either. He just sings and that is that.
What I miss about these modern mixes is the echo on Good Vib's when the song breaks. Oooo echo echo echo. I use to put it there when I mixed the concerts. Why the hell it can't be done in this day and age is beyond me. Oh well, at least everyone was in good form.
As far as Brian and the mix, remember this is a GROUP song. No solo parts here.
Good Listening,
~Stephen W. Desper

I thought Seacrest did a fine job with the intro...he got the crowd amped up and led very nicely to cool intro to GV. Good performance...the camera angle on Brian could have been better.

Re: McCartney's Valentine -- I liked Joe Walsh's guitar solo. The rest was so-so. imho. Then again, I'm not a fan of that style of music.
As for the BBs, there wasn't enough of them, imho. It was good to see them all together and to see Dave as part of the band again.
I note that the first verse of GV was skipped entirely. Foskett sang the lead with Brian (which makes sense, he's filled Carl's shoes quite a bit in Brian's band). But Jeff's in the back line, not the front line, so they showed Brian on the front line, although he was the second voice in the balance, not the primary.

They're not nobodys in the country music scene, they're the equivalent of the successful newcomers (Foster The People - The Band Perry) and established commercially successful acts (Maroon 5 - Blake Shelton). Outside of country music those names are pretty much unknown.
Glen's segment was cool.

Yeah, although the quality of music might be comparable, Paul has got a better reputation and better management, too. It would have been nice if Paul had been one of the people to cover a Beach Boys song in the tribute. Or if he had introduced them, the way Stevie introduced him. It would have given them more credibility than Ryan Seacrest.

The only issue I have with Paul McCartney is the fact that The Beatles have to be integrated into everything he does now. I would have been happy to hear one of his new songs off the Valentine's cd and maybe one of his classic solo hits. To me I wish The Beatles music could be left as is. John, Paul, George and Ringo are unfortunately no more and to hear seventy year old Paul McCartney up there performing The Beatle hits doesn't do anything for me. It's probably the main reason why despite being a huge Macca fan I've never bought tickets to see him live.

Now, Glen Campbell, he was great. That is the performance level I expect. Happy, in good form, dancing around. And he has ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, fer cripes sakes! He has an excuse to sit there and walk through it, but he didn't.

Yet i saw it differently..From the CBS computer feed I saw clearly Bruce doubling Brian on the lead vocal.And in Chorus Bruce singin the highest parts with all he had..I also Heard Brian on the part Oh Ma Ma Ma what an elation. Jeff was so far back how could ya tell.? I did hear Jeff sing the intro to Surfer Girl..FLAT. !. I also thought neither of the 2 young bands came close to nailing their parts.Altho foster came off better on WIBN. I did shed a tear for the guys + in the end i think they should have just performed {BB} by themselves..BB did nothing to screw things up + looks like it will be a great reunion.!. Loved the way David was dressed + the hat. Everyone looked great for their age + havin fun + BW did looked scared..I did notice Melinda in audience..Maybe Brian needs Jeff closer by for moral support..Hope they change that around in concert.

Great to see the band out there. I think Mr. Desper really summed it up.
Glenn Campbell though singing wonderfully despite his illness has to be the highlight. WOW!

A friend who is not a BBs fan (indifferent) e-mailed:
"Just saw Beach Boys. Jeez ... kinda depressing. Too much to type on phone, but Wilson continues to look like a zombie. Damn miracle he didn't end up like Whitney years ago. Very sad."
Sigh.

The feedback I got from non-Beach Boys fans or more, umm, casual ones than me were that that they rocked it. So they did their job overall, even if we may have had some quibbles.
I thought the first two performances showed how good the Boys in their prime really were- they made it sound so effortless and those were pretty decent signers not measuring up on any level.

I was kind of disappointed in the choosing of Surfer Girl, I wish they would have used an upbeat song like I Get Around or Help Me, Rhonda. Maroon 5 was okay. The instrumentation was the best part.
Foster the People were really good in the performance as a whole. Only thing would be Mark Foster used a bit too much vibrato for my tastes and he seems to always be nervous. To be fair to the kid, this is the biggest stage they've ever done. He was a severe drug addict in his late teens/early twenties and his friends feared for his life, so for him to even be up there living a dream with the band he admires most was great.
I thought the BBs were as good as I could have hoped. They are all nearing or at 70 for goodness sakes and have musically been apart for years. It was the first time for me to ever see them perform live on stage and I was thoroughly pleased.
Glen Campbell was great and the Band Perry are very, very far from being a nobody.
