This is from the most important newspaper in Perú (and taken from a interview with an important chilean newspaper) http://elcomercio.pe/espectaculos/1431754/noticia-beach-boys-confirmaron-gira-america-sur---------------------------------- The Beach Boys confirms South American Tour Vocalist of the band Mike Love, announces visit in october but without Brian Wilson. The legendary californian rock band The Beach Boys, will visit south america. This was announced by Mike Love, lead vocal and composer of the group, to chilean newspaper 'La Tercera'. In a telephone conversation, Love declares that these shows will not be part of the concert series of the reunion tour, so it will not be counted with the presence of Brian Wilson, perhaps the most emblematic member of the group. As recalled, The Beach Boys have 50 dates around the world to celebrate its 50th anniversary in music. --------------------------------------------------- |

What about the others? Will it be just Mike and Bruce, or will Al and David be there I wonder.

Not lame at all in my opinion. He's doing what an artist is supposed to do. Doing his best to move his product during a time of increased visibility. The music industry is a results business and if Mike can drum up ticket sales in SA off the back of the "reunion gigs" more power to him. Pity that Bri won't be joining him on the trip. Would love to hear them do "South American" together. Mike could start it off "Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine..." and then Bri takes the stage. That would be cool. |

What, they're supposed to just close up shop when this tour's over, because Brian's not still on the bus with them? This is not a farewell tour. Life goes on. |

Some of you guys are ridiculous. Brian looks like he will BARELY be able to finish this tour. The Beach Boys are a business. I for one, as much as I love Brian, am thrilled they will continue to tour because I want this to go on for many years to come. |

sorry i just think it's bad form to keep the machine rolling less than a month after Brian's last show with the group, with or without him. not that i'm surprised, or i didn't think it would happen eventually... just not this soon. if Mike is so eager to see South America, he could probably afford a vacation there this fall. Would love to hear them do "South American" together. Mike could start it off "Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine..." and then Bri takes the stage. That would be cool.  that would be freaking awesome. |

Brian doesn't look fit for people watching him on stage from the audience. He never really has since decades ago. I think people's point is that touring isn't his thing. That includes his solo tours which mostly haven't involved playing as many dates close together like this tour. He already established he can check out of Beach Boys' tours whenever he likes, so it's okay if he's not with them. If Al and David are with Mike, it's still a meaningful BB tour. I'm sure Brian has given it his blessing.
Of course, YMMV. I could be wrong. I'm sure the people in South America might feel a little ripped off.

I just posted this on the C50 tour thread but have now seen this thread so will repost it here....
Oh the irony!
Al Jardine was sued over the name 'Beach Boys Family and Friends' as it caused confusion with ticket buyers as they thought they were going to a Beach Boys concert.
But for concert goers going to see the Beach Boys in October rather than September there is no such issue. Ok....got it!

I wouldn't complain, because... Brian ain't touring as the BBs.
And that changes everything. |

Mike and Bruce have every right to do it legally. But fans can be forgiven for hoping that the amazements of this summer continue. It's the easiest thing in the world to understand.

Box set might contain the still unreleased BBs/Starship sessions dating back to 1976. |

What is actually sad about this, is that it somehow shows Brian is here just for the reunion tour and all, and so that they'll keep on tourin' without him, so it pretty much answers our question : after that, prehaps he'll do other albums with them, but just continue doing his own stuff and touring with Jeff and all.
