The guy on the right needs a guitar in his hands or something.  And if he's the guy doing the high part, he ain't bad.

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!!

He's just pullin' a Brooth


Noble Brooth didn't need a guitar - just his stache, his voice and his rock and roll personality.

Chad sounded good on Rhonda. Amazing that he was able to pull it off after hearing that day. There's not way that Chad's family or friends weren't taping the whole show. Let's see some videos!

Al certainly does still sound superb on Rhonda.

From the BW site. Curt Lambert post.

Matt Jardine was not there, but Chad from the Fendertones was. Brian introduced him as "Chad, who joined the band today!" I talked with his brother, also in the Fendertones and the rest of the "tones" who were seated just across the aisle from me. They were a cheering section for Chad, Brian and Al. We had a lot of fun together rockin' out. They said Chad got the call that morning and they didn't know what the future held for Chad appearing at other concerts on this short tour. He did a wonderful job. Falsetto parts and leads on "Don't Worry Baby" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice". Brian was singing some falsetto bg harmony on WIBN, which I had never seen him do before, as well as the bridge, "and maybe if we hope and pray...".

So cool... Cheesy For a long-time admirer of the Fendertones' work, this is great to see. I hope some better videos pop up soon.

I Get Around decidedly ropey. Understandably perhaps.

Just try to imagine: WHAT IF Adrian Baker had gotten that phone call:

One good turn deserves another. I'll see your 100 and raise 50... Smiley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwHkmuU-MsM

Oh god I abolutely hate this song SO MUCH that I love it. This one is fun to play really loudly with other people around - things get real uncomfortable real quick.

I didn't want to have to do this but...I'm going all in.
http://youtu.be/EfmH2wHTQZ8?t=50s

To me the amazing thing about this is that Dennis stayed behind the drums and played on it. If there was ever a song for him to take a break on, you'd think this was it.

Mike makes that song his own, as nobody else could or would even try, I'm guessing. 
BUT they had to work on it as the instruments and backing vocals are there, SO, presuming it was Mike's idea to do the song, WHY would the rest of the band agree?

I'd like to hear more about why Matt Jardine wasn't performing on Monday. I guess sh*t happens, and it's possible that he got sick or had something come up last minute, but I kind of feel bad for the folks that went and paid top dollar to see Brian.

It seems like Chad did a good job given the circumstances, but based on hearing God Only Knows and I Get Around, the vocals weren't what I've come to expect from seeing a Brian Wilson show.

Hopefully this gets sorted out in the future, and they won't have to give Chad less than a days notice before taking the stage. I think he's proven during with his work with The Fendertones that he deserves a spot on stage.

It's also more likely for "regular" band members to miss gigs (whether planned or last minute) when they're essentially one-off gigs like this. This was the only gig between the two July gigs and the gig at the end of September (unless they schedule something in the interim).

Pretty admiral job to step in like that at the last minute.  From what I've read Chad charted out a lot of the arrangements for the Fendertones so he's obviously a huge fan and familiar with the material, but I imagine they probably did some things the Fendertones haven't performed.

Also jumping in and singing falsetto for 2 hours when you're not in vocal shape to do that is very tough.

Those vocals.

I mean, golly, if I never hear that clip of GOK again, it will be too soon.

Chad was alright.  I suppose Matt couldn't make it, and without the falsetto, what would this material be, you know?  So good on Chad for stepping up and helping to make the gig happen!

I musta missed something. Doesn't Chad sing falsetto in the Fendertones? If he's not in vocal shape.........I mean.......how often do they do gigs, once a year?

I always thought the Fendertones sounded good but there was something else going on with their video I have seen on You tube.<not as bad as Jennifer Lopez>I may not be able to listen to Music for a while after Hearing Imagine<which I disliked before hearing Mr Loves version> or IGA .

Chad's falsetto as a replacement for Brian kind of reminds me of Bruce's falsetto early on in the live BBs. It's a gentler approach compared to somebody like Jeff Foskett.

Suits my ears!

Imagine picking up the phone that morning and getting asked to stand in with 2 original Beach Boys on stage that evening?

No pressure. Thud

That is a good point. At least it was somewhat low-key for such an eventuality. It was in Indio, CA, and a one-off show. This wasn't at Radio City Music Hall in the middle of a full-blown tour or something.

I definitely would have been bummed if I had gone and Matt wasn't there. But yeah, there are a million understandable reasons why he wouldn't be able to make it. Hopefully he's still "in the band."

I'm surprised, though, that they didn't work the setlist around Matt's absence. They still did "Don't Worry Baby." They must have felt the guy had enough vocal chops to do it. Otherwise, I would think it would have been easier to just switch that out for some other song for Brian or Al to sing.

Hopefully the band will get to do something resembling a "full tour", so they can evolve the setlist. As I mentioned in my blog, Brian's band is a bit like Al's band has been over the past decade or more in that when you do one-off shows and never regularly tour, you have to rely on your "standard" setlist. Thankfully, Brian's "standard" setlist still has some interesting stuff (e.g. Marcella, Cottonfields, Pet Sounds, Heroes and Villains, etc.), but hopefully they'll get a chance to pull more interesting stuff out on later dates.
