Mike and Bruce Tour 2015

[KDS]

To KDS---- I have not seen the Dennis film  of Do You Wanna Dance...but can assure you it is highly unlikely to be from Ready, Steady, Go. They never performed it on RSG. Most likely clip is from Shindig or Hullabaloo

YES!!  You're right it's Shindig.  Not sure why I thought RSG.  Thanks.   

I wish Mike and Bruce would come near my neck of the woods in December.  I know in December, they typically perform a big chunk of the Beach Boys Christmas Album.  That's the first BB album I ever owned, and I was into that looooong before I really embraced The Beach Boys.  So, it would be cool to hear that stuff live.

The December schedule looks like they cover a huge swath of Germany and then end in Colorado in the US.

Totally agree. No way we'll get them this year either. They've got quite a lot of dates for Jan/Feb/Mar already...and quite ea few in Jersey in February. Maybe they'll drift our way then?

Mike and Bruce are coming to Baltimore just three days before my 21st birthday! They'll be at The Lyric Opera House downtown, a twenty-minute (TOPS!) drive for me! My girlfriend and I got second row tix in the presale today, general sale tomorrow...looking forward to seeing a theatre show in the winter...hoping that means a deeper setlist! Would love to meet Mike and Bruce with my GF as she's never met them and with my birthday nearby and all!

Super cool, very nice venue definitely gonna go. The next night they play in Hagerstown, Md at another theater. Probably gonna go to that too because back to back theater shows are bound to produce some rare deep cuts I haven't heard live

[SinisterSmile]

Anyone else seeing the guys in Perth? Gonna be the my first time seeing them, super excited!

I can't do both nights...but luckily I can make the 17th work....my birthday is the 20th...haven't found anything on that date yet!

When I was in Perth this year, I went into a comic book store and was stunned to hear only Beach Boys music played, including very deep cuts. It turned out one of the guys there by the name of Keith was a big BBs fan and we talked for over an hour. The next day I returned to have a souvenir photo, which I was too stunned to think of the previous day, but other music was playing. Keith said that the other guys said they couldn't stand the BBs anymore now...

Maybe this guy called Keith will go too?

Thanks for the tip.  I saw them at Wolf Trap last summer and really enjoyed it, but like you, I'm hoping a theater setting means a little deeper setlist (I keep hearing All I Wanna Do usually cracks the setlist at indoor theater shows).  Might have to check it out.

Just bought row CCC (third row) dead center for Baltimore, man I'm excited it's a beautiful venue just saw Ringo Starr there. Only $90 too which considering other venue prices for their gigs around here is a good deal.

[KDS]

I was able to set Orchestra Seats. 

Thanks for the tip RubberSoul13. 

I saw John Fogerty there two years ago, and it's a great concert venue.

Nice! I'm in row BB (second row) just a bit left of center. I was at the Ringo show too...fifth row on the right! Those seats were much more expensive than these.....

I'm in Row BB also.  Seeing Brian, Al, and Blondie in the second row at Montgomery College a week from today.  And now, in three months, Mike and Bruce in the second row. 

Pretty cool considering it felt like I was in a different zip code when I saw the 2012 reunion show from the lawn at Merriweather.

They played this recently it seems - http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Star-studded-LA-fundraiser-rakes-in-31-million-for-IDF-432285 - cant find any more detailed info though...

I'll be at that one too- row 2, too!      I saw the Zombies there in '13...it's smaller than most high school auditoriums...

Very cool. 

I know this is off topic from Mike and Bruce, but what's the parking situation like at Montgomery College?  And are there any places close by to get a quick bite to eat?

Parking is very easy. There's a free lot right in front of the center. Once off the highway, the college itself can be a bit tricky to locate (even with directions/GPS) but the venue is quite simple once on campus. I didn't see any place nearby for food last time. It's in the middle of a neighborhood.

[Zargo]

Melbourne tomorrow night for me!

The silence from the Bondi Beachfest is deafening!

Did anyone go?

Thanks for the information.  I think we're going to leave early and try to hit a place near Rockville Town Center before going to the college.

Looks like they threw in Cotton Fields and Still Crusin. 

I really wouldn't mind Goin to the Beach being retired going into 2016.  It's been in the set for, what three years now?  Surely, they can pick another track from MIC.

BTW the soccer game between Germany and the Netherlands in Hannover just got cancelled because they have serious information about a planned attack.

Oh! I've got get that right away from the kiosk across the street! Is that the December or November issue? Should be November.

Yeah, I had a ticket and got turned away. Nothing was found, nobody was arrested. I guess the officials were fooled by a hoax. Bloody German angst!
