That's half of the Christmas album!
Were I'll be Home For Christmas and Frosty The Snowman ever played before?
Was any album half-played before by the Beach Boys?

Thanks to Baseball95 for posting the list.  I'm jealous.  Sounds like a great show.

They usually play at least four. This is a great list!

And, I'll  to that! 

I notice that frequently you must get in a hurry as to your posting, such that your responses are mixed in with the folks you're quoting. Perhaps, you can preview your posts so as not to be so confusing?  or simply scroll down after you hit quote, to be certain your own thoughts are separate...

No wonder mistakes creep in, she's always drinking those pints of beer.

Thanks to Baseball95 for posting the list.  I'm jealous.  Sounds like a great show.

That is funny.  That does happen, and the "lines of posting demarcation" are a little hard to work with on the ipad.  I'm not using a pc or Mac.  If I find that the stuff gets intertwined and I can't find the bracketed

section in the text box -  instead, I try to use the parentheses as an aide, (quote) in its' place. {Now it looks really messed up! }

A virtual   often lightens things up when things get a little testy around here. Levity is in short supply, here sometimes.  I try to remember that, "This is only a movie."  

And, I do wish there were an enhanced virtual adult cocktail assortment, such as the martini glass or champagne flute...and frankly, it it my "high-5!" Or, Bravo!  

As my mother (who liked J&B) would say, "It's 4 o'clock somewhere!" Santé!

Saw M&B tonight. What a fantastic show. Disney Girls? Check. Darlin'? Check. Warmth of The Sun? Check. Wild Honey? Check! (Cowsill nailed it). Was sitting front row (technically, fourth - but the first row of non-moveable seats). This is essential because Mike pretty much plays to the first few rows. Loved his distinctive voice. Bruce was rusty until he got warmed up - and then it was that classic sweet voice. I like how Bruce is much more active in the M&B setting than he was in C50. Mike kept flirting and pointing to the chick sitting next to me - which was a little bit annoying because he kept doing it throughout the whole show, but hey, he's Mike Love, what do you expect?   There was not one time I thought "gee, I miss Brian". There wasn't as much of an emotional connection as a show with Brian's presence, but this truly felt like THE BEACH BOYS. Just a grand ol' time. Go see 'em. Like I need to tell you!

The only cruddy thing was waiting outside - bitter cold - bus shows up and Mike puts his finger up to the small (5 people) crowd - as if to motion, "I'll come right back". He never did. Bruce darts off the bus and waves. Then, waited forty minutes after the show for the guys to come out - Mike jets right to the bus, and Bruce gets two guards to "protect" him - although he did wave. I just wanted to tell him how much I love Deirdre! You'd think they could take a minute or two for the people who stick it out. Guess I can't really blame 'em, they probably had a place to be.

Brian Wilson is an asshole!

This really has little to do with the current tour but this gets kind of funny at the end:

Yup, M&B is such a party atmosphere.  Brian's shows can be very emotional and heady but M&B shows are just a good time all around.  Bummer about not getting to meet them.   They usually are very accesible with fans.  Maybe just caught them on an off day.

That first clip. Bit of a awkward moment after the 'Hall of Fame' mention.

I don't quite agree with your opinion, but everybody is one some days.

Bruce still using the DX-7 keyboard!

Ha!

I tell ya, I' m really enjoying this medley, and the quality of the shows these guys are playing. Mike sounds relaxed and damn great. The full harmonies, with Mike's bass and Randell's false sound thick yet distinctive. How they manage to sound fresh and mostly staying out of the auto-pilot must be largely due to Mike's thrust and charisma and Totten's musical leadership.

[Pretty Funky]

The rest of the band is off key to Mike's lead on 'Santa's Beard'

Probably the other way around

[Pretty Funky]

I know that but I was cutting him some slack. God knows he doesn't get much here.

[Mr. Wilson]

Thank GOD Bruce only sang 1 verse of White Christmas..

[RubberSoul13]

I thought his voice sounded nice. But it was a sappy arrangement!

[chrs_mrgn]

Someone should put together a list off all the songs that have been performed in 2013 by M+B.

That's excellent...65 different songs. That's more than C50!

To put it into some personal perspective...I went to three shows this year...and heard 48/65 songs. That's pretty good!

Of course the ones that I didn't hear were closer to the bottom of that list and were played less frequently, but there were a few of the "rarities" I got to hear this summer...

-Dance Dance Dance
-It's OK
-Summertime Blues
-Good To My Baby
-Still Cruisin'

were all played less than twenty times this year!

[Eric Aniversario]

To sir with love? At Mohegan? Can someone explain?

[Fall Breaks]

Lulu guested on that song.

Hi Eric - Lulu guested in Mohegan Sun on July 28, 2013 and the set list is still on BBB under "Reach Foundation..."
