The Bonnaroo website has been live streaming select acts the last several years (multiple cameras and a soundboard feed). Who knows, maybe the beach boys will do it, I think it would be great exposure to a younger crowd.




I was talking with a friend today about something similar. We were wondering if any shows would get streamed (like Brian's Stockholm (?) show a few years ago) or made public in some way. Their first performance is at a jazz festival and those things get filmed for TV from time to time. I would love to have some material of the boys at the end of the year


I didnt even think about Jazz Fest. WWOZ broadcasts sets from the festival on their website.


I emailed them and asked if they will broadcast the Beach Boys' set. This is the answer:


We currently have not begun working on contract agreements for JF, however we tend to focus on the WWOZ Jazz Tent and the Blues Tent. Thanks for listening!

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The Beach Boys Facebook page still lists 6/9 and 6/10 as Bonnaroo performance dates, but the Bonnaroo website only shows the Boys performing on the 10th (3:00 - 4:30 PM). Is Sunday the only day they'll be there?

Most likely yes.

Bands usually make one appearance during a festival weekend.  There are a lot of other bands there to perform.

Bonnaroo 2012: The Right and Wrong of This Year’s Lineup


The Wrong:

The Beach Boys: Sure, we understand that The Beach Boys are (mostly) living legends, but in 2012 there’s just not a lot of liveliness coming from the pride of Hawthorne California. After a disappointing performance at the Grammy Awards one wonders what long-dusty favors were called in for them to claim solid stage time at the Roo. With all due respect to John Stamos’ side gig, we’d have much rather seen this spot filled by Prince, who was heavily rumored to take part in this years’ affair.

If they continue the tour in the manner that audiences experienced them these past few weeks - they will be a highlight of Bonnaroo. And they'll be hip.

Wait...so they will be playing all three days? So, what about the 8th June show in the Woodlands?!

edit


Dammit...bumping the old post caused me to think this was a NEW post and that my show was cancelled.  Undecided

Great time slot for the boys

Sun will be out on the main stage, no clashes with other bands so expect a huge crowd

I think they should change their set list for this Festival. The crowd is young, many hipsters, many hipsters like PS and afterwards, so the setlists should be mostly PS, Smile, Sunflower, Holland and Love You. Ofc there should be a good 10 song selection of earlier songs, but this crowd does not want to hear 6 car songs in a row.

Fingers crossed for a progressive setlist which is more like that of the early-mid 70's!

I guess they haven't rehearsed enough material to produce a significantly more 'artsy' set list for just one festival. They might shorten the set list and drop a few of the surf/car songs, that's the possibility I see. Then there's a high enough density of material which is considered valuable by hipster websites and magazines and they will be successful. Besides, the band rocks anything they play.  Smiley

If they just played their second set, that would go down fine - has a bunch of Pet Sounds songs, All This Is That, etc.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this booking. I highly doubt the hip festival crowd wants to hear "409" or "Little Honda," or "Surfin' USA." Hell, I'm a big Beach Boys fan (why else would I be here?) and even I don't listen to those songs on my own volition. It'd suck if they went out there and proved to be the stereotype of what so many people think they are: a bunch of old fart has-beens who never got beyond the musical candyfloss of their earliest work.

Mike has always said that he gets his pop culture education from his daughter these days--hopefully she tells him how different the Bonaroo crowd can be.  I can't imagine they'll change their set way too much considering all the songs we'd want them to play for this gig aren't in their current set.

Have you heard the stuff he says his daughter listens to? Nothing that the Bonaroo hipsters enjoy, that's for sure.  I can't exactly remember what he said, though he mentioned she likes some various pop artists at the Grammys.

Yeah, Mike's daughter ain't hip in that sense. She's way too mainstream.  Cool Guy At least that's what I gather. But no worries, the reunion has been managed splendidly so far, that's why I think they will rock Bonnaroo, FSHO3D

And I think that a good live rendition of "Surfin' U.S.A." would go down well with any crowd.

Yeah, someone pointed me to a video of Brian performing at Glastonbury when I said something along the lines of hipsters not enjoying Surfin USA and Fun, Fun, Fun.  Yeah, I was really wrong.

Well Foster The People isn't exactly mainstream pop and she had dad listening to them a year before they performed together on the Grammys.  Plus they are also playing at Bonnaroo.  The line separating the Grammys crowd and the music festival crowd isn't too far off.  Separated yes, but these days these music festivals are slowly becoming a place to "be seen at", so let's not assume it's overrun by snobby music hipsters that know better.

Can you read? You bolded the least important part of that phrase. Let me correct it for you. I said, "the stereotype of what so many people think they are: a bunch of old fart has-beens who never got beyond the musical candyfloss of their earliest work."

Where does that imply that I, a Beach Boys fan, believe they made jejune music in the early days? It only states what many people, fans and non-fans, know: that a lot of people write the Beach Boys' music off as immature pop songs about surfing, cars, and girls. Do you, in your Beach Boys myopic fandom, really believe that lots of people--especially young people--don't think that way? Especially the hip festival-going types?

Once again, you either accidentally misread that or can't read very well at all.

Can you choke? You said earlier in that worthless screed that "even I don't listen to those songs on my own volition" (should be "OF my own volition", Poindexter), which leads one to think that indeed, you are comparatively dismissive of their early work, which is totally fine, but it is also fine for me to disagree and find that viewpoint surprising. I also don't know what book you took "jejune" from, but that was a laughable attempt at impressing yourself. People who are "hip", I mean truly hip, are highly aware of the greatness of the early Beach Boys hits. At that particular festival, most of the crowd, as with any other mainstream music festival, want to hear music they already know. Same with Coachella, Glastonbury, any of them. They'll love Surfin' USA.

The early hits are great, but barbara ann isn't (never was supposed to) and its a song that "hipsters" like to pick on.

This is my greatest fear. They must never drop Add Some Music, I Just Wasnt Made For These Times and All This Is That, it would be utter disaster.
The way I see them pleasing the crowd with not too far a deviation from current set:



Do It Again
Catch a Wave
Don't back Down
Surfer Girl
All Summer Long
Then I Kissed Her
You're So Good To Me
Why Do Fools Fall in Love
When I grow up to be a man
Cottonfields

I get around
Add Some Music To Your Day
Marcella
Sloop John B
All This Is That
Wouldnt It Be Nice
I Just Wasnt Made For These Times
Sail On Sailor
Heroes and Villains
God Only Knows
Surf's Up
That's Why God Made the Radio
California Girls
Help Me Rhonda
Surfin' USA
Kokomo
Good Vibrations
Fun Fun Fun


(They could also add something nice like "On My Way To Sunny California" or "Cool Cool Water" or "Darlin"(darian on lead) or another cut from PS or even Wild Honey/Friends/Love You). Dream scenario is "All You Wanna Do".

They should ONLY do Barbara Ann if the crowd is loving the earlier work and if Mike does his Papa Oom Mow Mow part (the songs redeeming line!).
