I'd go see em , but only cos Foskett's there .
How did he end up there and not in Brian's band anyway ?
Jeff told Brian he was moving on after the Beck tour last fall... in the spring Christian told dad he was doing the same... Mike made the call... Jeff said yes.

Brian had no immediate plans to do much touring this year due to recording his new album. That may have been a factor. If he were doing over 70 shows this year, who knows, maybe Jeff would have stayed.

Moon Dawg - We recently saw America play with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and they sounded very good. Should be an enjoyable concert - good harmonies throughout the day!
BTW, years ago we saw America and The Beach Boys at the NY State Fair just a few weeks before Carl passed away. His voice was still so wonderful. A bittersweet memory.

I haven't seen Brian's gigs this year so can't compare the two at the moment but I would say that Mike and Bruce have currently got their show spot on. I saw them last in 2011 and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sound and harmonies etc. Since then those harmonies have got a lot tighter and the quality has gone up a gear. Bringing Foskett into the mix has made a big difference and I have to say at times (notably Disney Girls at Hampton Court, UK) I found myself thinking 'is this the original track?' - they were nearly that good!
I always have such a great time at the M&B shows and this year is no different. I dance and sing myself hoarse to every song and it's totally worth the money. If they play the UK later in the year then they have another customer in me.
At the end of the day I have no time for the age old 'Brian vs M&B' argument, I just feel grateful they still play live and I get the chance to see any of the band perform songs that were written decades before I was even born.

In all fairness, I only watch the first three minutes....but could anyone else hear Bruce's harmony sticking out on the chorus of "Do it Again" in ALL the wrong ways?....

They sound great here. Love hearing Jeff in the blend.
Admittedly, there is only one camera angle and he's featured as a result, but this vid really demonstrates Scott Totten's guitar chops. The guy is very good.

Looks like I'll get to report some first hand experience this summer....just got tix to see Mike and Bruce in Lancaster on Monday. John Stamos was added to the show, and my girlfriend hasn't seen them with him in the lineup, so we went for it! Looking forward to *hopefully* a longer theatre set.

Saw them at the AMT in Lancaster (granted nine years ago...) and the setlist was kinda halfway between the meat & potatoes 90 minutes GH and a 2 hours plus UK theater setlist. 43 songs including, astonishingly, "'Til I Die" and "All This Is That". Since then Cowsill has taken over the drum stool and Scott T is now MD, so musical excellence is assured.

Cool videos, great audio. The summer shows are really fun, that's when they add a lot of goodies to the setlist, particularly the opening set. I love hearing Summer Means Fun, and in the past, It's OK in the opening set. I wish the whole show was posted. Alas, I'll have to wait till next week when I see then in Ventura!

They have also played It`s OK at shows this summer. M&B have certainly made things more interesting for the fans (and presumably themselves) by changing the set lists on a regular basis recently. There was a time when you could predict with certainty the exact order and choice of songs but nowadays they seem to rotate many of the `non-essential` songs like Summer Means Fun, All Summer Long, It`s OK, Dance Dance Dance, Good to my Baby, Spring, Summertime Blues etc.

They're very open to suggestion: at Epsom recently pre-gig I was asked by Scott if "Darlin'" was a hit here, and what might be dropped to accommodate it given the strict 90-minute curfew.
They still did "Barbara-fucking-Ann" anyway.

Marbella, Spain at the Starlite Festival, a venue placed in a quarry.
Why Do Fools Fall In Love and Please Let Me Wonder were played without drums beacuse of a technical problem, which resulted in very interesting versions of the songs.
Still Cruisin', a song never played in Spain since 1990, was dedicated to some spanish fans in the audience by request.
Incredible show, terrific sound and great acoustics. The same as Madrid two nights before.

If M&B played in my town for free, I'd definitely go see them and expect to enjoy it!

She's off to college in the fall. Born 1/4/96. Very nice kid, polite, loves her parents and can be as funny as hell. And yes, cute as a bug.

Wow. Mike's vibrato sounds really good. Didn't even know he had that in him.

They also apparently covered The Move's "Fire Brigade".

No, no... that has to be wrong, or a fake: it's a well known, unequivocally established fact that all Mike & Bruce ever do is songs about cars, girls & surfin'. #humor #sarcasm
