M & B Tour 2013

[Pretty Funky]

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

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

When I close my eyes I could swear I'm in an elevator!

How weird is it hearing a 72 yr old man talk about his 5.5/ going on 6 brother? CREEPY!  That's one they can probably hang up and retire. Although i've said that with Be True To Your School and they trot that one out! On the flip side Mike sounds great on Little St. Nick!

Speaking of Be True to Your School, I was watching a show from the mid 90s and couldn't believe that Mike was already doing the Whhhhheeeeeeeennnnnn + rev up the hot rods one more time + Bruce was already adjusting his mic and hardly playing the keyboard. So, how long, exactly has that been going on? Was it since the 80s?

[J.G. Dev]

My first show was in '88 and I'm pretty sure Mike did the "wheeennnn" thing then. Back then he also used to intro the hot rods by sarcastically telling the crowd that they surely didn't want to hear a song about "a little duece coup", or something called "I Get Around".....Until the crowd would implore him to play them, which he gladly obliged

He said something like that in 01 about hearing an outdated song called Shut Down.

[Fall Breaks]

Reading Mike's Facebook post about the show in Austin yesterday. The show included Ambha singing "Darlin'", according to the set list in the key of D. Anyone have any audio/video of this? Having heard Ambha sing before, I'm surprised she would sing "Darlin'" in such a high key. I think she has a nice voice and was impressed of her singing "Sail On Sailor" on their 2010 tour.

[Mr. Wilson]

That shtick Mike does for the Car Medley  Is at least 30 years old + the intro to BTTYS about the same.. Around 1981 that all started.. Mike needs new writers  for his shtick...

[Micha]

I love that breaking down routine and the sound effect when his guitarists lift him up!

You could say that for 75% of their songs. It is ludicrous to hear a bunch of old men singing about getting around and having fun, fun, fun with young girls but they have little choice.
