Yikes that is my least favorite Brian picture ever lol.

Probably it's only me, but I think there's a glance in his eyes reminding me of his mid-60s photos. (Mid-1960s, I mean  )

[Rocky Raccoon]

it's Darian. and it's played pretty much note-for-note off the twofer version... Old Folks At Home (aka Swanee River)/Old Man River

Ah okay, I've never heard that version.  I've only heard the one from the Hawthorne, CA album which is beautiful.

[bossaroo]

never heard it? it's one of the greatest pieces of music made ever if you ask me. why is it not on youtube?!?

Very creepy picture

Does anyone know if they have added any songs since Chicago?

[drbeachboy]

Does anyone know if they have added any songs since Chicago?

Don't know, but I'm sure glad that I got Break Away instead of Little Deuce Coupe at the Atlantic City show.

[Nicko1234]

Does anyone know if they have added any songs since Chicago?

Apart from adding Hawaii and Little Deuce Coupe after the first show I don`t think they added any new songs throughout.

Jeezus..the tour is already over? Man that went by so fast!

[HeyJude]

Jeezus..the tour is already over? Man that went by so fast!

It was barely over a week long, six shows. Al has alluded to more dates being announced, presumably nearer the October LA date.

Since I'll *hopefully* be catching the DC show this fall, I took a closer look at the setlist to see just what exactly I'll be seeing (although I'm sure Brian's set will be shorter since Jeff Beck is doing his own thing too)

Why are these guys playing so much early stuff that Mike sang lead on and M&B band carry quite well already? I think of this band as the band that has the oppourtunity to play the deep stuff and really flesh out the 66-73 period...

I counted 12 songs out of the 37 in the set that are lead by Mike on the original recordings. Look at the encore for instance...

All Summer Long
Help Me Rhonda
Barbara Ann
Surfin' USA
Fun, Fun, Fun

...what about that screams Brian Wilson? It reads like a Mike and Bruce set.

Don't get me wrong though, there are some GREAT tracks slipped in that M&B don't touch often...Please Let Me Wonder, Girl Don't Tell Me, Pet Sounds, Our Prayer/Heroes and Villains...SUMMER'S GONE!

anyone else feel this way?

[Rocky Raccoon]

Well, I mean Brian wrote most of those songs, they're his songs, except Barbara Ann.

They are Brian's songs no matter who sang them originally. Brian has played the last 4 songs that you post, every time that I have seen him since 1999. Except for Barbara Ann, they're his songs, he can sing whatever he wants.

Yeah, since 1986.

Well, probably because the majority of the crowd comes to see three of the original Beach Boys and want to hear the songs that made them famous....it's not rocket science, really. You figure there are more die-hards at a BW/BAD show than at a M&B, but still, I'd imagine most people are just casual fans who want a good night out.

[RubberSoul13]

I get the whole "casual fan" thing and sure they're in part his songs as well. But his voice is just so different...it's like hearing a different song. "All Summer Long" does not sound like "All Summer Long" when Brian sings it. Again, just my opinion...and saying he can play them "because he can" doesn't take the discussion anywhere...

There are encore worthy songs already in his setlist, so I would think he could put deeper tracks in the main set, and shift some Pet Sounds material and Smile type stuff to the encore. Just my thoughts again...

[Gohi]

I dunno if this is normal Foskett behavior but he was really obnoxious at our show. He would drink bottles of water and toss them behind the stage where the roadies/techs were. He must have used freaking twelve different guitars, none of which were audible (it became funny when he was pretending to play along to "Pet Sounds"). He did this stupid shuffle/dance across the stage several times throughout the show and only stopped when finally the drummer laughed at attempt #5. I'm sorry, I went in open-minded but he really cemented my opinion on him.

He had a fit at the soundcheck at Merriweather last year over the changed lyrics on Isn't it Time...I couldn't hear understand what he was saying since he stepped away from the mic but he was getting red and seemed to be just short of screaming at Totten over the new sheet given to him and Brian. I can't say I'm a big fan...

He has an arrogance and smugness that is pretty easy to pick up on.

Not an easily likable person

Jeff was fine in that video. You can tell right off that he knew the girl video taping and was teasing her. I never found him arrogant, but at shows he can either be super-friendly or standoff-ish depending on his mood.

[Heywood]

He drank water and played guitar!! Satan. He'll be singing next.

Jeff was irritating, like usual.

But man, I hope that video wasn't recorded in 2012 considering Brian was under the impression That Lucky Old Sun hadn't been released yet

So what? I don't see any problem there. I don't think he was playing a bunch of guitars and they weren't turned up. Probably blended in the mix.

Maybe you'd rather see Stamos up there instead?
