Speaking of which, all somebody needs to do now is put out a studio version of this book and we can throw away our Badmans, eh?

I'll burn my copy.

Thanks all for the exciting reviews - hurry up, postman!

I haven't got much of a chance to go through it, but I've already seen some great photos.  I was surprised, for some reason, that it is a hardcover book.  I was expecting something like the Badman thing.  Speaking of which, all somebody needs to do now is put out a studio version of this book and we can throw away our Badmans, eh?

Greatly amused by the section in many years where they list "Shows that did not happen" and most of those cases it is to contradict the Badman book.  In one case they quote a show listed in Badman at a certain high school and indicate that the high school never existed.  And yes, all copies seem to be hardcover.  No dust jacket.  Pretty good binding.

Well that seemed worthwhile in the early years especially.  For example there is a poster that makes the rounds of the bbs playing in hartford on june 25 1965 but they didn't play anywhere on that date.  The poster people just picked an arbitrary date to make replica posters

This is amazing. Great job by everyone all around. I am very picky with books being a writer myself, but honestly this belongs in the top rank.

I always thought that poster was legit. It's been on eBay for years. Glad I never picked one up!

This guy's trying to sell his Hartford/Dillon poster for how much?

This one has also been on Ebay for years. BB at the Whiskey in April, 1971. With a 1979 vintage picture in the middle. Asking price?

Another reason that Ian's and Jon's is worth having.

Ian, I know that you know this Beach Boys concert was the real deal.  Wouldn't mind having the poster myself!

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!!

Yeah that 1971 whiskey one is also funny because when I researched the date it turned out the poster lists the wrong days for those shows

I thought there were only 50 hard covered books made.

aeijtzsche, do you have a limited edition copy or an off-the-shelf version?
MIkie, mine arrived yesterday from Amazon and it is a hardcover. I too was expecting a softcover book. Not bad for less than $23.00.

I only leafed through it quickly last night, but I have to say that the pics are terrific. The only bad thing was, was that I dis-remembered a 1974 concert that I attended. Seems it took place in early 1975. So, the show that I thought I saw Dennis and Ricky drumming together was most likely Dennis and Bobby F.

Indeed, it can. Also, the Tempe Stadium Show in Tempe, Arizona was an outdoor show and I'm sure you know how mind altering those shows could be. Wink

IIRC, the Whiskey poster was part of a series of posters (of artists who had played there over the years) put together to celebrate a significant anniversary of the Whiskey's existence. The series was issued in the late '90s-early '00s. I remember seeing it advertised in Goldmine.

I have the Whiskey poster framed and in my office. Always got a kick out of the date and the obviously wrong chronological picture from the late 70's. Don't remember where I got it, but it was cheap as I recall; have had it up for a few years.

I haven't bought the book yet, but I intend to soon. I have a question about a certain show that may or may not be mentioned in the book. I hope it's ok to ask, as I don't want to ruin any surprises or anything.  Grin Anyway, I have a beach boys show that's listed as being from Paris, from 1980. During the song "You Are So Beautiful", for some reason Dennis misses most of the words. It's almost as if he walked away from the microphone, and only returned for the very end of the song. I was just wondering if there might be any kind of explanation for what happened.

Only the date (6-8-80) & the venue are listed.

That was a pretty erratic period for dennis.  When he was sober he was great but when he was drinking all bets were off

Thanks for the info.  Smiley It's rather hard to figure out what happened just going by the audio recording. The audience seems to have a good laugh about something during the song.

On a slightly related note(in a roundabout way), oh, to have been a fly on the wall "backstage" after the 1981 Long Beach show, where Dennis shouted out "I love shawn! I love you shawnie(sp?)".  LOL
