Same exact shtick as Baltimore...and Lancaster the past two years!
Mike sticks with what works when it comes to his between-song patter. There are huge chunks where he hasn't varied even the timing in years or sometimes decades -- I can talk along with it just as easily as I can sing along with the songs.
In some ways it's a shame, because when he's had to vary it he can come across as a lot less slick -- for example on the 2008 UK tour, when they had a mini TM set in the middle, and he talked about how much those songs meant to him, it seemed for a few minutes like we weren't seeing an act, but the real Mike. But on the other hand, all the "now it's time to have an intermission... followed by a nap. That's what you get for coming to see a used rock group" kind of stuff always does go down well with audiences.

I hear that.
If Mike really wants to do a solo song, how about Daybreak Over the Ocean.

I've been to numerous M and B concert and I really enjoy them, but nothing stops the momentum dead more than that song or Pisces Brothers. Got both of them in 1 concert this summer....

Ugh, yeah Pisces Brothers. If it weren't for Scott's guitar solo, that song would be completely worthless.

I actually like hearing Cool Head Warm Heart, but I do sense the audience getting restless when they play it. I am pretty neutral on Pisces Brothers, but I'm thinking that this shouldn't be a permanent staple. Audiences seem to appreciate it, but its appeal may wear thin if played year after yearwith the same video tribute.

And always bear in mind that while we obsessive fans are word perfect on Mike's stage patter - and Brian's too, for that matter - it's new to Joe Q. Public.

Quite. A lot of the complaints people have about Mike's show (though by no means all of them, of course) seem to boil down to "he's not doing this for me, why isn't he doing this for meeeee?"
Anyone on this board's idea of "the perfect Beach Boys show" would depart enormously from what 99.9% of the audience want -- the fact that so often both bands manage to get very close to pleasing both us *and* the people who just want to hear Barbara Ann and Surfin' USA is a minor miracle.

Propably Brian (if he's still touring with them, I mean the Eichenberger one). At least last year he was the one who sang You Still Believe In Me and it sounded fantastic.

Makes sense. I was thinking Ike too.
I also noticed that the Pet Sounds songs are split up. Oddly YSBIM and Here Today are in the first set, which is usually reserved for the surf/car songs and the more upbeat pre-PS material.
Maybe they didn't want too many ballads in the second half of the show.
Interesting note, setlist.fm listed Caroline No as a cover of a Brian Wilson song (granted it was released as a BW single and features no other Beach Boys, but its still on the BB album).

Good setlist! They are playing in Japan tomorrow, and I was thinking about going, but had already bought tix for Brian/Al/Blondie, and the Mike/Bruce tix are really expensive. This makes me wish that I could afford both!

I'll be very curious to see how (or if) these additions stick around. I would be surprised to see them come out without a symphonic arrangement behind them...and looking at Mike and Bruce's standard summer lineup, I certainly wouldn't expect any of these in the summer months.

Mike has hinted that they're going to be doing some Pet Sounds stuff. I would guess that at least YSBIM and Here Today make a lot of setlists this year.
I'm almost more shocked to see Heroes and Villains.

Looks like the Japan setlist have been much shorter, with only the standard 3 PS songs, and no Warmth of the Sun, Disney Girls, etc. So I'm glad I didn't kick down. I've noticed that Brian's setlists in Japan are normal, but the BB's are shorter than usual--hope Brian holds true next month! Though we do know, at least, that we'll get all of PS.

the hard part about that above setlist, is that half a dozen of those should be in Brian's tour, and some of Brian's songs should be in
their tour. damn. what a cluster#uck.

This one seemed to slip under the radar...but Mike & Bruce are doing a symphonic show with the National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center on July 19th. Found it by accident last night and got myself a pair of second row seats! Still a lot of different seats left!
I'm really looking forward to it...such a luxurious venue and a full orchestra will hopefully ensure some incredible deep cuts for the night!

Maybe they'll do a few more Pet Sounds tracks.

That sounds pretty promising--wish they would do that here in Japan!

I hear they're doing double billed shows with The Temptations in the States this summer.
Unfortunately, this likely means shorter greatest hits only sets.
