They did really well at the Memorial Day show. Jeff nailed Good Vibes. As good as I have EVER heard him sing. Mike was, indeed, swimming in something which enhanced his vocals. [Why not?] 'They' continue to honour the music while, away from the stage, Mike continues to trash the brand. Such a waste.

I DVR'd the National Memorial Day Concert and just finished watching. I'm pretty sure the tracks were pre-recorded and both Jeff and Mike had processed vocals. I didn't hear Bruce in the mix at all. They were the only band on the bill, so maybe this was out of necessity??? All the other singers were backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. I didn't watch the entire special, but the crowd seemed a little subdued and only warmed up, in my opinion, during Surfin' U.S.A.
Here was the set:
Good Vibrations
California Girls (abbreviated) --->
Sloop John B (abbreviated) --->
Wouldn't It Be Nice (abbreviated)
Surfin' U.S.A.

Agree with the above post, but on Surfin USA it seemed like the auto tune was dropped. That sounded very nice.

Oh poor Mike said "diversity" instead of "adversity" while making a poignant point about BB music comforting the soldiers in Viet Nam. So sorry to see him make this slip; his heart was in the right place. He never falters like that, and I hope that few noticed.
It all sounded pre-recorded and none the better for it. The orchestra pre-recorded too? I don't know how they do that. Surfin USA was the best--I wept. . . . .can't wait for school to be over. . . .
Would have been so much more meaningful with Dave, Al, and Brian. . . .but still is was the BB, asserting their place in history as the bringers of endless joy in all troubled times, times of war, woe and sadness

Looks like Mike and Bruce are offering VIP meet & greets for the rest of the tour--some interesting merch included in the package:
https://mikelove.com/shop/
Also, from the main page, could a reissue of "Looking Back With Love" be on the way:
I have to say, the last two M&B shows had a terrible selection of merch, hoping some new items are on the way in the coming months.

A re-issue of a complete flop?
Has that been done before. Thought so.

Whoah! Embrace the LBWL, Mike! "Teach Me, Tonight" has some surprisingly listenable moments!

Neat to learn that Rolling Stone associate editor Andy Greene wrote the following on Twitter today: "Midway though the Monkees show at Town Hall [located in Manhattan, New York City] last night I realized the old guy in front of me was Mike Love. Odd to see him in that context.....I presumed Mike Love would have nothing but disdain towards the Monkees, but he stayed until the encores. He was on his phone a lot though."

I'd imagine Mike likes the Monkees
I see some uninformed idiot replied on twitter about how the Beach Boys & Monkees didn't write their own songs

Why would anyone think Mike would have any disdain for The Monkees?
This isn't a dig on Mike, but he tours with John Stamos, has had Mr. T on stage, has recorded with Status Quo and the Fat Boys, and so on. Why would The Monkees somehow be beneath him?

Catch A Wave sounds pretty good to me. YSBIM is not my style. The phrasing sounds a little too formal, like I'm listening to an opera singer. It's phrased differently than Brian and Al would ever sing it.

Even some presumable Mike fans on Facebook are calling a bit of BS on an article he linked to that references a Beach Boys concert performance of "Forever" as the "classic Full House song."
It's obviously all semantics (or, the author really doesn't know it's a Beach Boys song), but it's a bit like saying Billy Joel sometimes covers the theme for "Bosom Buddies" at his shows.....

Yeah, just saw that on Mike's page...thought it was a bit misleading as well that they showed the full clip from the GMA appearance (same day as my C50 show) from 2012 with that lineup.
Anyway...saw the Coney Island setlist...am I the only one that's in a state of bewilderment that "Pisces Brothers" has stayed in the set all this time, yet "Wild Honey" lived in the set for about a year? And even worse...they've added "Summer in Paradise" to the opening set for the best several gigs?

In all honesty, I'd rather see Summer in Paradise than Goin to the Beach.
And I'm with you about retiring Pisces Brothers. The two times I've seen Mike and Bruce in the last year, that song grinded the concert to a halt.

If you really want to see it grind to a halt, Pisces Brothers followed by Cool Head after an incredible small set of rarities last summer is your winner. For whatever reason they have practically all but eliminated Cowsill's lead vocals. What does he have left? California Dreamin? I'm not sure whether that was his call or Mike's but it's a darn shame I love his voice.
