Show 50: Cuthbert Amphitheatre - Eugene, OR 7/14/12

[Bud Shaver]

Is this really show number 50?  I can't wait!

[Bud Shaver]

The weather forecast looks good for the weekend, let's hope it helps pack our tiny amphitheatre.

Lookin' forward to this one! It's my lady's 40th B-day, the weather looks great, and we're going to go see the frickin' Beach Boys! If you want to say Hi, I'll be the guy with the red Jan & Dean Bel-Air Bandits T-shirt on. I'll report back after the show...

Define "tiny"...

[JT PDX]

I'm going to this show tonight with my dad. Our first concert together ever--and that's in 32 years! 50th show on their 50th anniversary? It sounds like a lucky night--I'm hoping for 50 songs as they have sometimes done. The oldies station in town is playing all Beach Boys all day to celebrate their arrival and anniversary. I'll be wearing my black Brian Wilson shirt, from the Smile tour.

It holds 5000 people.

I'll be rocking my Brother Records logo shirt with a Hawaiian shirt.

[JanBerryFarm]

that's very original. A hawaiian shirt. You must have put some thought into that.

I didn't mean you, Bud.....I meant the other 4999 people going to that show.  

Your good. Just don't expect anyone to 'pick you out' based on that costume.

Have a smashing time and be sure to tell us about it.

It all sounds fantastic!  A summer night, the radio, family, The Beach Boys...have a great time!

Originally, I didn't think I was going to be able to go.  Long and bizarre story there.   But then plans changed, freeing me up and then....get this!....I got a call from one of my old high school buddies.  He's got an extra ticket and wanted to know if I might be interested in going!  Well....uh, yeah, sure! 

As far as what to wear, I know it may be a little dorky, but I can't NOT wear my Hawaiian shirt!

[Bud Shaver]

Me and my five-head.

Anyhow, we had some nice treats. Maureen Love and Stan Love were in attendance. There was a lot of Kevin Love references. I hope to post more tomorrow.

I felt lucky to be there and just wish I could see them again soon.

No DW or CW reference or tribute.

WAT.

[Les Chan]

I wonder if the technical issues with the video happened again?    Who sang GOK?   My guess is Brian.

No Our Prayer ?? 

[JT PDX]

No DW or CW reference or tribute.

WAT.

I was pretty disappointed. I was looking forward to the emotional tributes and to hearing Forever. Brian sang God Only Knows and did a very good job. A stronger vocal than many of his performances tonight. It seemed like the Cuthbert didn't have a built in drop down screen for projection, but I couldn't help but think they could have gotten around this. Everything was otherwise awesome so I am trying not to dwell on this disappointed part but...It seemed like they did the tributes at almost every show, right? Maybe I haven't read all other 49 closely enough...

[Les Chan]

I would be disappointed  too after hearing and seeing You Tube videos.  So there was NO VIDEOS at all playing  

[JT PDX]

No Our Prayer ?? 

Nope. It would have been amazing but didn't happen. My Dad was hoping for Disney Girls (which they played) and Surfin' (which they did not). The latter song he remembers coming out when he was a kid in SoCal.

[Bud Shaver]

Darlin' was fantastic!  No video wall so no tributes, but a great show nonetheless.  I swear I was the only guy dancing in the place...luckily the folks behind me didn't seem to mind.  I have videos and photos to post later...

[JT PDX]

There was zero multimedia. Maybe a Cuthbert expert can explain why. Are the tributes on youtube? I'll have to look them up. I am so lazy when it comes to watching internet videos. Thanks for the tip.

Darlin' was fantastic!  No video wall so no tributes, but a great show nonetheless.  I swear I was the only guy dancing in the place...luckily the folks behind me didn't seem to mind.  I have videos and photos to post later...

Yeah I was very impressed with Darian' vocals and the band was rockin'. I'm a lazy concert goer and was sitting on the front of the upper lawn. I definitely danced for fourteen of the songs though--you weren't the only one!

Brian introduced Darlin' and Darian and said the song was dedicated to Bob Hanes (EDIT: who died a couple years ago and had friends in front of me). I don't know if people know him but the local paper wrote a Beach Boys article and he was one of the fans mentioned. I haven't finished reading it.

Bud, I am glad you have photos and videos - can't wait to see them!

[JT PDX]

Also, kind of humorously, I was commended for my fandom. While I was using the restroom during intermission some guy from 15 feet or so behind us came up to my Dad to say he was impressed by my enthusiasm (for someone young I guess?) and that I seemed intelligent. I was taking notes the whole time...I guess my Dad raised me right!
