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.

Hey -  Billy back with the band! Now Al needs to slip Ed Carter and a few more of the old team in, and we'll be right back where we belong!

I wouldn't really like to see that. Sure, Ed Carter is great and the old guys too. But the current band is better than any band the Beach Boys ever had imo. No matter how great Ed would play he probably wouldn't add anything.

Ivy, are you out there?  Waiting for your review if you have one!!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Yes, I am here!

The show was absolutely incredible. I wanted to go to a second show because the first time I was seated in front of Mike and Al and could hardly see Brian. This time around I had a perfect view of him and thought he rocked harder than I had seen at Berkeley and in youtube clips. He seemed to be in a really happy mood and was smiling a ton. His voice was stronger and smoother than I have heard from him this tour. The only mess up I saw from him was stumbling in late on TWGMTR, which seems to happen often.

There were a lot of lyric screw-ups. Unsurprisingly, Al was behind a fair number of them. But he sounded as good as ever.

I reallllllllllllllllllllllly loved Dave's Pet Sounds solo. I have been avoiding reading about set lists so it came as a surprise to me and I was blown away.

California Saga sounded beautiful but were kind of an awkward presence. I don't think the crowd really knew what to do with them. Also, the songs they performed are not horribly well-known so that added to the tepid response, imo. Mike was standing just a few feet stage right the whole time giving thumbs up and blowing kisses to his daughter. It was pretty sweet.

Some of the most interesting stuff happened off of the stage. For one thing, the crowd was FULL of family. Mike's wife and his wife's family were seated on either side of me. He also mentioned that his first wife was in the crowd as well. Just a row or two behind Mike's wife was Melinda and a selection of their children (the two teenage girls and a young son, I think.) I stayed at Harvey's hotel.... and so did everyone else! I saw Bruce and Dave after the show in the elevator well. Dave chatted a little bit but Bruce was "closed for business" (lol!) They were both totally unaccompanied in the middle of a huge mass of fans. I saw basically all of the California Saga in the lobby along with assorted backing band members (who no one else seemed to recognize at all). Marilynn Wilson-Rutherford was in front of me in the line for Starbucks and Billy and Carnie both came over to talk to her. It was pretty awesome. Like a Beach Boys bio was coming to life before my very eyes!

An incredible experience. A beautiful location. A fun travel buddy. (hey KW! I know you're reading this!) And a perfect last American performance. Bravo!

I took a couple of videos and pictures, I'll post when I get a chance to upload.

Wow Ivy, that's some pretty cool stuff. Just to clarify, did Bruce actually say to you he was closed for business?

Yes, lol. He was kind of rude but I don't blame him. He looked totally exhausted.
