Is anybody going to one of the Mike&Bruce gigs?

So, is anyone going to the forthcoming gigs by Mike & Bruce and can report about it? I wonder if they'll play any of the new songs...

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.

My understanding is Mike and Bruce are referring to it as the "TWGMTR Tour"

I think if I went to a M&B show after seeing the real deal at Wembly it'd just feel really weird.

No way. Mike is a mega jerk (which I know from first hand experience). I'm moving to Lincoln City Oregon area in Nov and they are coming to the Chinook Winds Casino (date forthcoming)
but I refuse to put any $ directly into ML's pocket other than via the box set, reissues, etc.

I might go and bring a megaphone where I condemn Mike loudly during his in-between song banter.

Talk about cheapening the "Brand Name" and over-exposure. Back to being a oldies show at crappy venues.

After seeing Brian in concert in I think 04 I thought my BB live journey was over and stated so. Of course like most here I got caught up in the 50th and am glad I did but this time I think its done for good. The chances of any formation being better than this years PLUS a nice album are zip IMO.
For those that need more though...Enjoy!

After the great reunion concerts this year, the Mike and Bruce shows will be anticlimactic. I'll be staying away in droves.
No Wilson, no Jardine, no Marks, no Mikie.

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!!

There will still be at least one Mikie at each show; maybe alot of Mikies at some of them...

Just got this in email from Ticketmaster: On sale 10/1 at 10am. It would appear that they are booking dates at least as far out as April of next year.

To answer the thread question, I'd consider going but I was really hoping the New Year would bring better news.

I'll start to worry when I see new summer dates being booked
But regardless if they reform or not...I shall see any of the Beach Boys in whatever bands they're in if they come through my area.

Still no reason it can't -- if the full band do a summer tour like this year,that would probably start late April/early May again, or maybe later. And this year Mike & Bruce were performing as late as late March.
I'll go and see any line-up that comes to the UK, if any of them ever do again, and be glad of it. It won't be as good as the reunion tour, obviously, but hopefully the reunion tour has shown people that Mike's band has some great musicians in it, too.

I would go, but also because I know what to expect. Hearing fun and tight versions of the BB hits with a sprinkle of rarities. Won't be shocked and awed, and mesmerized, but will enjoy the music.

Excellent point, and to be fair to the M+B team, I was most positively surprised by John Cowsill and Scott Totten having never seen them before. So, I'd definitely consider the M+B show if life allows.
And, Andrew, I am very much looking forward to your second book in the Beach Boys on CD series!

I'll have to wait and see what the first few set lists are like. If it's like previous years then I will pass. I don't want to cheapen the great time I had back in May of this year!

Sounds good! I'll pay for your ticket and buy the beer.

I'm probably gonna go to that one in New Jersey, but I don't think I'll buy a ticket until like February.
I don't agree with the sentiment "if it's not all of them, there's no point". Never stopped anyone from seeing Brian solo. Hell, I'd see Foskett solo singing Beach Boys songs if he was in the area. Why not?

A good friend of mine who went with me to the Tahoe show this summer is going to the October 6th show in Austin. I'll relay whatever info I get from her.

I know absolutely nothing, but I would be really surprised if they did another tour next summer. Better to wait two years between tours, albums. I know they're all getting up there, but not even Springsteen tours every year. And that guy's a machine.

Can we still have threads advertising their shows as "Show 75", "Show 76", etc.
Keep the illusion of the 50th going in our minds even if the actual reunion is (hopefully temporarily) over.

There's one on New Years Eve in my state... I really want to go, but I really don't at the same time. I mean, if I went, it would be the most exciting New Years that I've had in forever. But it's also Mike and Bruce... Mike will probably pick out "his" set list, which wouldn't be of much interest to me. And like people have said before, the M&B Show would feel weird after seeing a reunion show. I think they should at LEAST have Al and David on the tour. No Brian I would understand.
