Beach Boys "Fun Fun Fun" at Dodger Stadium

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

At the season opener, April 10th.

Will this be the first Post-Grammy show!?

[Pretty Funky]

As of yesterday there was a private gig on youtube (now removed) from Montreal last weekend of a Mike and Bruce show.

But the reunion line-up? Don't think there has been anything since the grammies.



Oh.....and the anthem done acappella would be a cool gage for the tour ahead.

Have they done an a cappella National Anthem before? Cuz that sounds really nice. Really, really nice. I'd like to hear it very much.

5 days till we see all the boys together

Really excited!

This will receive a lot of coverage.  It's important for the Beach Boys to pull out all the stops and put on a good show.  I don't want to read any articles the following day which say they should have retired.

Been wondering how the Beach Boys got the dodgers gig?

I feel like an idiot for not realizing you were being facetious.

I feel bad for being facetious.

I'm pretty apathetic about this.

They were better when they were in Brooklyn.

Well, if you were truly THAT apathetic you wouldn't have bothered to post about it

You're right in many ways...and they gave the fans in New York who couldn't stand the ritzy and glamorous Yankees a hard-nosed group of more regular guys to cheer for. When they moved to Los Angeles they lost that element. And the Mets because they were so bad for so long never captured the old Brooklyn Dodgers appeal to the masses.

Let me say - Phillies fan to the core - one of the best things I ever saw in sports was the sight of Matt Stairs in the 2008 NL playoffs launching a moon-rocket shot over the wall in LA and effectively silencing all the Hollywood glitterati like Mary Hart and Larry King who had come to watch the game that night...and which eventually led to the Phils winning the Series that year. I'll watch the Beach Boys perform but that's it with me and the Dodgers. 

I'm surprised the Dodgers could afford to hire any national act beyond maybe "Up With People" to perform or sing this year considering all the financial hardships they've had with the McCourts and all that.

Play Ball!

[NHC]

SF Giants fan since 1958, bitter rivals of the Trolley Dodgers all the way back to their New York days, hard to do this, but I'll have to get my hands on at least one souvenir piece (assuming I can get special permission from my sister who lives in San Francisco and is never without something with a Giants logo on it). Dodger Stadium is a great venue, in any event, and of course there is always Vin Scully to listen to, the best baseball announcer ever even if he has worked for the wrong team since 1949. Should be a fun day at the park, but I hope they lose.

I just posted it in the "tour"-thread but since this thread is about that specific topic I post this quote from Al's facebook page again (we got too many threads about the reunion stuff, don't you think?) This way we all should be able to at least listen to the performance (I hope for videos on youtube afterwards, guys !):

The game starts tomorrow at 1:10pm PDT...if you can't find the game on TV, you can listen live here: http://www.am570radio.com/main.html

Completely agree with that assessment, NHC.  I'll take SBC Park ANY day over Chavez Ravine, but I'll make an exception for one day to get a souvenir.

Hey Mikie, you really a Giants fan?  Shouldn't you know the name of your stadium is AT&T? Just sayin'... By the way, I am going to the game tomorrow.  Anybody else here going?

The late Harry Kalas is right up there with Scully - People outside of Philly heard him regularly as the voice of NFL Films productions, where he took over for another Philly great John Facenda. Even if folks don't know him by name they know his voice. "It's OUTTA HERE...."
