Brian, Al, and David Tour 2013

[Justin]

Nice that they allowed pictures at the soundcheck.  The soundchecks at the C50 shows felt as if they were run by the CIA.  No pics, videos, escorted in, big hoopla.

Christ, this one makes me sad.

Yeah he looks pretty glum--even misses a line (see Al look over).  By the way, has Brian lost some weight?  He looks a bit slimmer--looks good on him!  But the beginning of a tour seems to be the worst time to see Brian.  His first 5 shows on the C50 Tour were very tough. 

No doubt Brian will perk up towards the end of the tour if not the final run of shows when he realizes the tour is just around the corner of being over!

Is it just me or did Al turn out to be a most dapper-looking old chap?

Here's my video from Sunday's Pittsburgh show - Old Man River / Cottonfields.

Shot on a Samsung digital camera, so the sound veers tinny. I think you'll like it though - the medley was beautifully done.

Great, awesome. Might be the camera mic emphasizing the high freq but Jeff is way too loud in the mix on River. A treat to see them do it. Thanks for posting it.

'Pet Sounds' performed in Pittsburgh. Dave twangs it and the drummers bring it home.

Great example of a lead Al should be taking. Not to say Brian can't do it.

All good reading and thanks for the info.

Just my 2c. Not sure with Mike and Bruce gone that the huge piano works. It looks like the proverbial white elephant in a lot of the shots and for many of the audience it hides Brian. Its only a keyboard so go for the small version he has used in the past IMO.

[leggo of my ego]

Wowow wow, great pics -- Thanks guys!

[SloopJohnnyB]

I have some great photos from the front row to share but I keep getting a message that the upload folder is full. I've decreased the size and they still won't upload. any help?

Hello SloopJohnnyB. Attaching them doesn't really work on this board, but copy-pasting an url-link does. Try an upload service on the internet for those pictures.  For instance www.tinypic.com or www.photobucket.com

Thanks for responding! Photos posted!

I just did LOTS of video from Atlantic City and Pittsburgh...

Atlantic City I watched "That's Why God Made The Radio" "I Get Around" "Dance, Dance, Dance"...Brian sounds so weird singing Mike's leads...I don't like it. As someone else said, I think they'd be best treated by Al Jardine. 'radio' was all around rough...especially foskett, good Lord.

Pittsburgh I watched "All Summer Long" "Surfin' USA" "Fun, Fun, Fun"...same issues as the first batch, maybe worse. BUT...I'd like to see some of the stuff Brian SHOULD be singing lead on...can't find any of the cool cliips I want like "Break Away" and "Marcella" and "Good Vibrations"

Brian sounds so weird singing Mike's leads...I don't like it.

He's been doing it for 14 years.
