Don't know if this has been posted yet. Seems pretty high profile for the Boys.

I wonder if any well known politicians will be there, I imagine many of them grew up listening to the BBs when they first arrived onto the scene. (or when Endless Summer hit record stores
)

That's a pretty cool gig for Mike and Bruce.

Very cool indeed...no way in hell I'd try to go...driving in the heart of DC memorial day weekend, fighting the crowds on the lawn...to probably hear California Girls, Barbara Ann, Surfin USA...and maybe even Kokomo!
I'll watch from home

You could always use the Metro, but that'll be crazy that day.
We might be going to the beach that weekend. We'll listen to some Beach Boys on the way.

I imagine their are just a small part of a big show. Not a repeat of their 80's concerts.

The bureaucrats may think that they have booked an iteration with Brian in the lineup and be in for a rude awakening (not that the touring BBs have no merit).

Considering PBS did a Brian special, I doubt it.

America's Band will come out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbara Ann. Singin' of surf and sand. At least I assume that's the master plan.

Instead of bringing surf boards to the concert, how about a coffin with James Watt's name on it......probably have to be at least 45 to get this I suppose

I'm 30 and I get it. But only from reading about the incident in later years.

Sounds like a fun concert. And although there are other performers, it does say they're headlining. A nice new tradition in keeping with the old 4th of July concerts.

This is not the first time. They were there back 10-11 years ago. I remember Bruce running up to Mike to shake his hand when the show concluded. It was like congratulating him on maintaining their relevance. I felt that way.

This is a perfect example of the kind of thing they should all be doing together. They should have made a plan after 2012 to get back together for major major shows like this especially in the nation's capital. That Mike would want to do this without Brian and Dave is just really sad and ridiculous

I doubt the bureaucrats in DC could even name one member of The Beach Boys, past or present.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I wouldn't be surprised if David plays... That would be a treat. It's great when he joins M+B.
To be honest, even if it just ends up being Mike, Bruce, and their band, it'll be a good time. Mike's band, under the leadership of ST, has really refined their sound. I saw them in 2014, with RK still
, and they sounded great. Even though it would be a little depressing to have no Brian, Al, and Dave, Mike and Bruce will do the music justice.

I couldn't agree more. I've seen Mike and Bruce twice in the last year. Once with David Marks, and put on a great show.
Should they be called The Beach Boys? Legally, yes. Ethically, eh, that's up for debate.
But, it's a great concert.

If Mike and Bruce stopped calling their band "The Beach Boys", there'd be about 37 hardcore fans that would be much more at ease and would finally go see their show. They'd also then lose most of their bookings because there are about as many promoters looking to book "Mike's Love's Endless Summer Beach Band" as those who want to book "Al Jardine's Endless Summer Band."
I think the chances of Mike doing a solo a cappella rendition of "Sweet Insanity" in its entirety is more likely than Mike giving up using the "Beach Boys" name.
