Beach Boys-Hyde Park July 7th 2013

[STE]

My dad is there. He just rang me to tell me Mike and Bruce played "Goin To The Beach"

That I would like to hear!!

I wrongly assumed you were joking.

Pretty surprising that even though they were only given a 1 hour slot they played stuff like this and Isn`t it Time.

[Rocky Raccoon]

It's so weird that they do "Isn't It Time."  I mean, isn't the subtext of that song basically "isn't it great we're back together again"?

[EgoHanger1966]

You're dead wrong, it's about the night Mike wined and dined Bruce and told him the good times never have to end.

*sigh* I bet goin to the beach was another summertime classic....

[Nicko1234]

Theye do a very solid job on Isn`t it Time anyway as shown in this video from a couple of nights ago:

Just got back, ace show. Was very taken aback by "Goin' to the Beach". They packed a lot into their hour yet those dang beach balls provided more entertainment for the young girls around us at the front.

Setlist:

Do It Again
Catch a Wave
Surfin' Safari
Surfer Girl
Don't Worry Baby
Little Deuce Coupe
I Get Around
Isn't it Time
California Girls
Then I Kissed Her
Sloop John B
Wouldn't It Be Nice
God Only Knows
Good Vibrations
Kokomo
Help Me, Rhonda
Barbara Ann
Fun, Fun, Fun

Encore:
Goin' to the Beach
Surfin' U.S.A.

  That says it all! Shame they didn't include any contemporary material, like 'Duke of Earl'

How was "Goin' to the Beach"?

[oldsurferdude]

"Isn't It Time" sounded distinctly threadbare with myKe blowing quite a few off key notes throughout the performance.

Goin to the beach

[Alex]

Ditch the Saturdays and replace them with a reunited Sundays, and get the C50 BBs back up and running, and I'll blow all my money on a plane to the UK.

Goin to the beach

Not bad. Total cheese, but not bad. Looking forward to the studio recording on MIC.

Goin to the beach

OMG, this is what we are getting instead of "Carry Me Home"?   

[RonBaker2003]

Thanks for posting.  I won't say anything about it other than..."they couldn't find anything better in the vaults?"

[Mikie]

This is what we're getting instead of Big Sur 4/4 and I've Got A Friend?

I watched them work out a part of "Goin' To The Beach" on the "Making of the Keepin' The Summer Alive" album on TV (and video). After watching that recording session back in 1979, I remember being glad they didn't release it. I was bored with it then and I'm bored with it now.

P.S. This ain't encore material!  Stick with Wild Honey!

[RubberSoul13]

I thought Goin' To The Beach sounded alright...it certainly fits the show. Just not an encore song after its debut...

HOWEVER, that was the first I had heard Mike & Bruce doing "Isn't it Time" and that certainly has some good and bad going for it. The song screams reunion...and I don't think the reunion of this particular beach boys band is the one the fans are screaming for. The new arrangement is weird...especially Mike singing the bridge...I don't like that...it just sounded wrong. However, props to Scott Totten & Bruce Johnston's vocals because they both kicked some major ass and held the fort down on this one! I wish Scott would play ukulele on it like Cq50 but I guess the band isn't big enough to compensate for the loss of guitar. Although Bruce could always play it...it's not like his hands are doing anything important over there

Goin to the beach

So fucking sad. Boils down to luHv who will stoop to unbelievable, record setting lows to make a buck. Would luHv it if BRI said keep the money and the name will go to Brian and his group. I mean this is simply gawd awful crap.

I'm sure they did and could find others, including Carry me Home, but all estates/members have to vote on it, correct? This one has "beach" in it, so it was probably one of Mike's few "yes" votes.

[Rocky Raccoon]

I see Mike grew back his Colonel Sanders goatee.  I have to say, he's sounding pretty good.

[pixletwin]

Damn. Cowsill really is a beast on the drums!

Goin to the beach

Ticked that box then. Next!

All of the unreleased songs on the box set are Mike `yes` votes. Otherwise they couldn`t be on it could they. 

[RubberSoul13]

Yes but Mike doesn't have to let BRI decide what he puts into the live show. I'll be very surprised if we get ANY more "songs from the vault" in Mike and Bruce's set this summer.
