What do you hope DOESN'T happen at the BB's Show you have tickets for?

Everybody wishes to arrive happy and get good seats; have nice weather; experiance good sound; maybe meet and greet...etc. etc..
But is there anything you dread, that lurks in the back your mind ?
For me, It's OK.
But, in moments of weakness, I worry...
Will I have to sit through some 'opening' band, jumping around on stage like insects on a hot plate, offending my ears when I should be preparing for the aural experiance of my life?
Will Brian get sick or tired and leave the tour before they come to my town? Horror of horrors!
Will the lighting crew turn sadistic and aim those airport lights right into the crowd, giving everyone, including me, a massive case of eyestrain?
Will I get stuck in the middle of some 'weekend Beach Boy fans' who don't care about the music and just want to get drunk and scream the lyrics?
Will it rain? (I'd rather see them indoors, but that's not happening)
Will John Stamos show up and ruin my chances of hearing the band properly?
Dunno. It's just a matter of time. I guess.
How about you ?

I hope I don't pay a squillion dollars for a pair of the best available tickets, and have Brian's face completely blocked by the giant tall speaker on the side of the stage (again).

I'm going to see them (for the second and final time) next Saturday. I am kind of far back (not lawn, but loge section), and to the left. I want to be able to see Brian, but I'm kinda freaking that I picked seats TOO far left and I won't be able to see his face.

Luckily, Wembley Arena has a roof, so my main concern that I'd be sitting way back in the pouring rain won't be the case.
However, I just hope I'm not sat next to a bunch of boring people - a controversial point, i know. but it's a stadium gig, so hopefully it won't be like a morgue in there. It's different to a theatre show.

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.

Basically I hope people can avoid going to the bathroom when a post-1966 bar Kokomo song is played.

At the two shows in Italy, I hope I don't get completely lost and unable to find the venue or ask for assistance in a foreign country where I don't speak the language.
I also hope they don't cut the set down for the Italian shows. The starting time for them is 9PM, and it worries me that they might drop some of the songs I most want to hear to do a shorter set...
For the Wembley show (where it's seated, unlike the Italian ones) I just hope I'm not next to someone like the person I sat next to at the Paul McCartney show I went to last year, a football fan who bellowed, off-key, wrong lyrics to anything from the Beatles red or blue albums (he even managed to get the words to the 'na na na na' part of Hey Jude wrong) and stunk of alcohol. Eleanor Rigby really isn't improved by being turned into a duet with a drunk shouty Everton fan...

I held my breath on that one, only to exhale when I saw him at the piano at the soundcheck.

I hope I don't drink too much on the train and end up not remembering anything! (BTW, I'm not one of those pain people who acts like an idiot, I just have memory issues after a few pints!)

I've already seen my 3 shows, but there are a few things I dread happening...
3. Beach balls!
2. People in back of me getting mad because I'm standing up and enjoying the concert, just like 85% of the rest of the audience is doing.
1. Sitting in front of a loud talker(s) blathering on and on about whatever while the rest of us are trying to enjoy the concert.

I'm going to the Berlin show so I'm quite sure Stamos won't show up. There are some things I hope won't happen.
For example the inclusion of "Summer in paradise" (and similar songs) into the set.
I hope - as posted in another thread - that they won't use those stupid sound effects before the car-medley and during Mike's intro to "Be true to your school" anymore but I know that won't change.
I hope the great rarities like "Marcella" "I just wasn't made...." "Add some music.." This whole world" won't get cut out.
I hope the whole damn show won't be a fun-in-the-sun party thing but something tasteful like they are doing these last months.
And I hope that Mike's and Bruce's clothes (especially Mike's) are not to hard to watch. Remember those green pants Mike wore in Florida ?

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.

I hope they don't cut their entire 2 hour set down to 45 minutes and I hope it doesn't feature a local talent show, an American Idol, or MC'd by a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir...

Andrew, I'm Italian and I will be at the Italian gigs. If you need anything we can share contacts later.
Unfortunately I believe we will indeed get a shorter set in Italy, as they play at are outdoor venues with standing places and the gig starts late..
So we can forget Disney Girls, This Whole World, All This Is That and all that, that is. I certainly hope I'm wrong.

Sorry, Rocker, I hope in Berlin they keep the Be True To Your School sound effect and replace "Marcella" with "The Little Girl I Once Knew" again like on the early shows...
But they better keep "I just wasn't made...." "Add some music.." This whole world"!!!

Thanks for that. I have a friend in Milan who can help there, but it might be useful to know someone at the Rome show.
I'm still hoping we'll have a longer show -- they've done long sets in the US at outdoor venues (like the Hollywood Bowl) and have only cut them down when they've been playing festivals. But I'm mainly going to these to see all five of them together, anyway -- I'm sure Wembley will be a longer show, so I'll get to see at least one.

I'm going to the Buffalo show. I just hope the positive changes in the setlist haven't reverted by then. I hope Brian is up for it (like everyone else I suppose).
I hope that Mike's hat is carried off by a sudden gust, revealing a mane of golden tresses. That would be something.

It's safe to say that the crew DID aim the airport lights into the crowd at Pittsburgh. I had to close my eyes at every chorus of "That's Why God Made The Radio" because it got to be re-goshdarn-diculous. Right in the eyes.
