Heads up to all that board member Shadownoze has graciously agreed to send updates for tonight's show (three cheers for Shadownoze!).  I should make note that the updates will not be as frequent as they were during the Tuscon show...he might provide his first update by intermission and not neccessarily after each song or every other song.   So the updates might be a little slower--Just a small disclaimer.

First update by Shadownoze of the soundcheck:

Posted notice outside saying this concert is being filmed.
Jardine being interviewed by merch table. Chatted with us for a moment.
The VIP host, "Stix," is a very nice young guy who travels with the tour. He takes the photos at the meet&greet.
Six or seven different t-shirts available, four hats, program, poster, hoodie, coffee mug, maybe more. VIP group will get first crack at it after sound check.
Sound check: Wendy (inst only)
Bruce thanked us for coming.
Catch a Wave/Don't Back Down/Surfin' Safari.
Not sure if this is different from Tucson, but Foskett is smack in front of Brian's piano, just behind Al.
Brian plays piano constantly, but didn't sing.
LDC/409/Shut Down
Sail On Sailor: Brian on lead, sounded good, messed with the melody a bit.
You're So Good To Me
That's Why God Made the Radio: nice!
California Dreamin'
After several stops and starts, Jardine addresses us early admitted: "Have we sucked all the glamor out of this for you guys yet?"
All Summer Long/Rhonda
Do You Wanna Dance
All this is that: band only

Brian piped up three times to tell Scott Totten, "We need to wrap it up, 'cause of the catering."

Meet and greet: boomboomboom, no interaction, tho Bruce and Al were friendly and chatty.

Never change, Bri.

Also, cheers for doing this, Justin - I didn't say on the other thread  Grin

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
What is this "life" thing you speak of ?

Syncopate it? In front of all these people?!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

First update by Shadownoze of the soundcheck:

California Dreamin'

One thing I've been wondering - who's singing Carl's part on this? Is Al doing the whole thing, is Brian taking it, is it Jeff, or is it Cowsill (who's sung that part with Mike's band)?

Brian's always been very appreciative of food.  If you listen to "bull session" or whatever that little track is on (Today maybe?), he's the only one that thanks Marilyn for bringing them food.  Check it out when you get time.

The yellow shirt with just the logo is like the most swingin' chick t-shirt ever.  Anybody that goes buy your chick the yellow t-shirt.

Lots of funny lines during sound check, which I'll try to recall.
At one point, Scott T. said, "Does anybody need more Darian?..that's a rhetorical question, Darian." Someone else said, "I got enough of Darian YEARS ago."
Rehearsing the ending of Sail On Sailor, Scott demonstrated what he wanted. Darian then asked, "Scott, do you wanna hear how Brian's been doing it?" After it was demonstrated, Brian's way won out.

Regarding the VIP goodie bag, it's not very impressive. The limited edition shirt is a plain White tee with the 50th logo  in a metallic gold. Tote bag is okay, poster is nothing special (but you could get I flat or rolled), souvenir lenticular ticket is pretty cool, lanyard with meet/greet pass is blah.
Saw Melinda at sound check, without glasses. Also, Billy Hinsche.

Just think folks.  There's no way this show won't be even better than the first... and the first was awesome.  This show is going to be better than awesome.  Have fun whoever makes it there, I hope they play your favorite song!

This is all so great.
I think the recent emotional roller coaster on this board has to do with the fact that we fans don't know how to handle this much excellent news coming in all the time. For us it's been mono/stereo mixes for years, with the occasional "where is Tandyn Almer living these days?". New album, full blown tours, cool new BB music... this is so unusual that our minds collapse.

 How do you go about getting your picture after it's been taken?  Is it actualy posed, or is it just a candid mess?  Was there any mention of autographs?  At the soundcheck, how close to the stage do they sit you?

I don't mind that Jeff sings don't worry baby, it sounds better in the original key and isn't it his favorite beach boys song?

Could be that they flipped the songs and it will be on the 2nd half.
