Show 27: Bonnaroo Festival - Manchester, TN 6/10/12

[Rocker]

It's just strange, because it was announced (in the zin'pak-thing?) that the BBs' set will be braodcasted.

[Justin]

I suppose things do change.  I honestly can't think of one good reason why they would opt out of being broadcast.  Not one.

Did you see the Tonight Show last night?

[Justin]

After that Leno apperance, I can see Mike Love put on his Clint Eastwood face and say "I'ma gonna kick Bonnaroo's ass and I want everyone to see it!"   

I wonder if each band had to pay some kind of fee or amount in order to allow their performance to be broadcast?  Or maybe some kind of term or restriction that the BB didn't agree with or something they didn't wanna pay?  I'm honestly digging for SOMETHING for why they would back out...but coming up empty handed.  Without any good reason we'd have to chalk it up to just the simple: they didn't want any sub-par ill-recieved performance to be broadcast all over the internets.  They were nervous about it so they backed out. 

[ontor pertawst]

easy, the fest didn't meet their price.

Absolutely awful decision

A live show to millions of viewers around the world, AND THEY TURN IT DOWN..

Incredible

they probably want more control on what performances get out.

Folks, let's get a grip.   Most of us are upset just because we were all looking forward to WATCHING it live.  It's not like they backed out of the festival.  They're still playing to an indie crowd at a huge festival.  Not broadcasting it...blunder, yes.  End of the world?  No.

who ever said end of the world?

They are gonna release a 'Beach Boys live 50th anniversary tour' on DVD and it will go on the market sometime soon.

If they would allow streaming some people would certainly record it and then it will circulate the internet and damage sales of the live material they are releasing thus compromising profits and also their reputation if Bonnaroo performance is sub-par. they want their best to be out in the open, not something average or below.

This is why they are recording several perfomances, to capture a good one, with good crowd etc.

They might record Bonnaroo and eventually release it, but at some later stage (and if the recording is good enought).

[Quzi]

Hell, everyone loves Don't Hurt My Little Sister, yet I hate that song with a passion.

Me too! I was under the impression that it was one of the most disliked tracks on Today! but there's a chance I've distorted my perception to believe the opinions of the masses align with my own 

[filledeplage]

I love the Beach Boys but standing in the sun with 100,000 people around me isn't really the ideal place to see them

I hear you. Like Danny Glover's quote... "I'm too old for this sh*t". That is no longer my idea of a fun time. I hope they are coming to Philly. I guess we'll see tomorrow.

     

[onkster]

Oh man, they pulled out of the festival?

Does that mean Brian's gonna abandon work on the next album?

I'm feelin' some weird deja vu.

What it really means is they won't release a DVD without re-recording any parts, in a studio, which they don't feel are up to their standards

I know you're joking, but your joke is based on a falsehood, they didn't pull out of the festival, it's just not being broadcast over the internet.

[Justin]

Thank you Real Beach Boy for your help!

[Justin]

Anyone going to this?


Hopefully the reason they held back on broadcasting this was because they intend on using the footage for their own DVD release of the Festival.  Ha..yeah right!

[Zach95]

So, no one's going? What time are they playing? Any idea?

Thanks!

I'm watching the live stream of Gary Clark Jr. on YouTube. And I spy with my little eye...

Maybe they'll change their mind last minute!

[sheknowsmetoowell]

I don't think they will, they have the whole schedule of live streams up for the rest of the day. And there's only two channels. No sign of The Beach Boys being broadcasted 

[Zach95]

Well, here's the thing.  Look at the schedule.  They're massively behind.  And, the Boys perform right after Gary Clark Jr, on that same stage.  Maybe we'll catch a glimpse?

Seeing the BB bass drum isn't a sign of them reconsidering the broadcast, the crew have just setup their equipment right behind Gary Clark Jr so it'll be a quick change between sets. 

[Zach95]

Yes, obviously, it was just a joke.  I just thought maybe we'll catch a glimpse of them on stage.

Well, nothing.  No glimpse, though I noticed underneath the video on the feed that a few people wanted to see the Boys. Oh well, let's hope there's some good video.
