Oh yeah as someone who was supposed to attend this show, I forgot to warn the board about the “new date.” Thanks for doing it for me Emdeeh!!

The Glastonbury Festival (2 weeks after Albert Hall, London) has been cancelled due to Coronavirus - for the 2nd year running.

While the two events are logistically different it does speak to a continuing unease in the industry about event safety.

[UEF]

The Prime Minister has now set out the roadmap for the UK coming out of lockdown

No earlier than 17 May:

Performances and large events can resume, with some limits. For indoor events they can be at half capacity or 1,000 people, and outdoors they can be at half capacity or 4,000 people - whichever is lower. For large venues (at least 40,000 capacity) up to 10,000 will be allowed to attend

Larger events no earlier than 21 June

Therefore, currently, it looks like the Beach Boys show will be postponed and the Brian Wilson show might just happen.

I just don't like the tour name. Understand that it may be good for the Box Set coming out, but really that Box is material by the original Beach Boys, only 1 of whom(ok 2 if you count Bruce) currently tour in this line up. It's very misleading to me. This is the kind of stuff I was hoping the sale of the name would stop. Typical Mike Love.

Maybe he should call it the Refuse to Go Away Tour.

If Mike and Bruce are going to use the Beach Boys name to tour, I would rather they name said tour after a Beach Boys product (like this boxset) than a Mike solo album

Been missing live music so much.

I've seen various configurations of the touring Beach Boys over the years since Carl passed and Al left, some good some not so good. I went on a deep dive on youtube and rediscovered my appreciation for one very specific configuration of the touring Beach Boys band, whom I made a point to see at every chance after the first time seeing this configuration in 2015. I saw them live a handful of times between 2015-2018 with the touring lineup whose harmonies were anchored Jeff, Brian E, and Scott and they were so damn good. I wonder if there are any better quality live recordings from this period. It felt like Brian E really lifted the group up and you could feel the excitement from everyone when he'd sing some leads. And Jeff and Scott were in great form. Here are some I gathered in case you also are missing live music and want to spend some time watching this group from this era.

I'm So Young (Brian E Lead)

I Can Hear Music (Brian E Lead)

You Still Believe In Me (Brian E Lead)

Then I Kissed Her (Brian E Lead)
https://youtu.be/hhccFpgr6E4?t=5039

Lady Lynda (Brian E Lead) - there are moments in here where if you told me it was Carl Wilson singing the lead Al wrote/sang, I'd believe you

I'm Waiting for the Day (Scott Lead)
https://youtu.be/hhccFpgr6E4?t=2630

Darlin' (Jeff Lead)
https://youtu.be/hhccFpgr6E4?t=2997

Good to my Baby (Jeff Lead)
https://youtu.be/hhccFpgr6E4?t=3155

California Dreamin' (Jeff Lead)

Wild Honey (John Cowsill lead)

NOTE: I'm posting this in the 2020 Beach Boys tour thread because it seems much more applicable to the 2020 Touring Beach Boys than it does to the Youtube thread of Beach Boys videos that is mostly the original group.

Cool observation on Lady Lynda. In a somewhat lower register than Brian E normally sings leads, certainly shows a new character to his voice, and yes fairly Carl-like. I wonder how he would sound on Long Promised Road.

Although I love Darian's Darlin', I don't think Jeff has sounded better on many other songs.

Some nice memories.
