I forgot to mention that I contacted the new sax, flute, etc. guy, Randy Leago, following the Kansas City concert just to let him know how much I appreciated his contributions. I mentioned that I would be taking my family to the show in Grand Rapids on August 21, and hoped he would still be with the Beach Boys at that point. His response:

"I'm really enjoying my time with the Beach Boys and hoping it will last through 2016 and beyond, I know I have the Grand Rapids show on my calendar. "

Mike sounds ok on the lead based on what I have heard on youtube. Not his best , not his worst.  It's just Mike sings 30 other songs.  The BB have always shared leads and it was nice to see that continue.  I personally am a huge fan of John Cowsill's singing so i personally will miss him doing that lead. Seems like they chopped a few of his leads recently.  Not sure why. I would say the same for Brian, wish he would float Al a few more leads too.

That's very good to hear as that hopefully means he'll be at the Cincinnati show on August 17th.

Who was singing the lead on 'Rhonda' in the Mike and Bruce show before? 

Phil Bardowell from 1998-2000, John Cowsill from 2000-2015.

Also, during the very short period of time in 1998 after Al was gone, but while Matt Jardine was still in the band, he (Matt) sang Rhonda.

Thanks guys!  I also like the alternation between voices in the BB's, and generally prefer there to be more, even if it isn't BB's singing. Mike singing 30 songs might be a bit much.  More Bruce would be good, but yeah, more Cowsill and Totten too.  

I also liked the fact that Al, Blondie, Matt and Darian all got leads in the recent BW show I saw...  it seemed pretty generous to Al overall (Rhonda, Wake the World, Honkin', Shut Down, Little Deuce Coupe, I Know There's an Answer, Then I Kissed Her, Sloop John B, etc.) but I still would have liked to hear more--for example, no idea why Brian sings the entire Add Your Music by himself, and personally think that Al, not Matt should sing WIBN.

I'd love to hear Al sing as many leads as possible, but you always have to keep in mind that it's a "Brian Wilson" show, with the others as guests. Considering that, Al and Blondie (and Matt) get a nice chunk of leads.

I'm of a mixed mind when it comes to others singing lead. I think it adds to the show when an actual BB is singing lead. When it gets into backing band members singing lead, I think it's a more dicey situation. On the one hand, it might lead to a deep cut being played, and a nice, young, fresh voice singing. On the other hand, it's not a Beach Boy singing. So I think I prefer to see that kept to a minimum. I think Mike's band skews too far in that direction, even though it results in some interesting song selections that certainly Mike isn't going to sing (often Brian-centric songs). I think C50 had a good balance, with backing guys just doing a few bits. Similarly, other than Darian singing a song, Brian's band is mostly Beach Boys singing, along with Matt Jardine, who I think is one of the small, select group of near "defacto Beach Boys" from his 90s tenure, a classification that in my mind also includes Billy Hinsche and Jeff Foskett during their tenures.

Chris Farmer also sang Rhonda sometimes when he was with the band.  Or at least once that I saw live.

Only one show near me, and I'm out of town that week.   

Oh well, already saw them in February, and I'm seeing Brian twice (that'll be six BB related shows in two calendar years).

Okay, they've put the annual  early October shows in Biloxi. Will probably go to one of those, as I assume they might have some different songs from when I saw them in March.

So over a year's period would have seen Mike/Bruce twice, Brian and Al, 3, maybe 4 times

And 2 bios released. Should be interesting to say the least

Sure has been a interesting five year period or so, hasn't it?  With C50, TWGMTR, several M&B and Brian tours, Love and Mercy, NPP, and now the books coming out.

It really is a good time to be a fan.  Let's enjoy it now, because this kind of activity is not likely to last much longer. 

Also a reminder, Mike and Bruce will be on PBS Sunday night for the DC Memorial Day Concert.

I think they'll at least have the extra Pet Sounds songs they've been playing.

the show is on 8pm (not live in LA) and runs for 1.5 hours, so the BB , as headliners, likely are on in the middle.

Upon further review, it seems that much if not all of this is prerecorded.  Bummer.  Mike is swimming in autotune.
