To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank

"Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....."

"in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead

Surf City would be a must to give the fans a hit to listen to. Along with a few covers.

First of all, I'd want to hear the complete TLOS live. That's my favorite album from his solo career, although BW88 is right behind it.

That would require a special guest appearance from Mike Love.

Anyway, here's my list:

The Spirit of Rock and Roll
Baby, Let Your Hair Grow Long
Walkin' the Line
Water Builds Up
The Bare Necessities
Melt Away
The Like in I Love You
She Says That She Needs Me
Don't Let Her Know
Little Children
California Roll
Live Let Live
South American
Slightly American Music
This Song Wants to Sleep With You Tonight
Mexican Girl
Dream Angel
They Can't Take That Away From Me
Night Time
Cry
Midnight's Another Day
Southern California
Love and Mercy
Nothing But Love
Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight

Encore:
Desert Drive
Love Ya
Lay Down Burden
He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body to Move

I admit that I cheated by using some songs that have not been officially released (I also meant for "Don't Let Her Know" and "Desert Drive" to be the Sweet Insanity and Paley Sessions versions, respectively, rather than the Gettin' In Over My Head versions).  I think this would actually make for a pretty good concert, though.

Question: would Brian's shows be as popular if he only did solo tunes? Don't get me wrong, it would be cool if he did, but do you think the Beach Boys stuff has something to do with the popularity of his shows?

I would argue that it's all in the same boat, Brian's solo career overlaps with the Beach Boys.  After all, arguably his most famous solo venture was the Smile album/tour in '04-'05.  This thread is just hypothetical fun.  Obviously, the main appeal to see Brian Wilson live is to see him sing the Beach Boys songs, for the general public I mean.

Thank goodness he doesn't only do solo stuff, as shown by some of these setlists.

I have to agree. I like some of Brian's solo stuff, but as time goes on (as an album at least) TLOS is the only one I really return to. For Smile I like the Beach Boys versions to hear, though I respect the 2003-4 one very much.

Honestly my favorite Brian solo stuff are the songs he produced for others in the sixties or seventies, or early (think 1963-73) vocal contributions to others records.

I'd love to hear him perform Its Not Easy Being Me and Rio Grande, throw in the Lucky Old Sun album and a smile selection, some Gershwin and I'd be happy!

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

How about Brian and his band playing the entire 1988 album live? There are some great songs there begging to be played by that band instead of the 1000 Synths heard on the album.

I would be far more likely to see a Brian solo show if he played mainly songs from his solo career.

Not in a million years of course. It would appeal to the hardcore but there is a reason why they play all of those 60s songs. Because people love them and because that is when Brian was at his peak.
