Carl's '85 tunes are definitely the highlights. 'Where I Belong' is my favorite Beach Boys song of the '80s (Brian's 'Melt Away' is my favorite BBs-related and I think I like it more than WIB).
'It's Gettin' Late is a close second though. God I love that song. Carl's vocal is unreal. It surprises even me how often I listen (with glee) to it. 'Maybe I Don't Know' is really strong too.
Should we just go ahead and rename this thread "The Beach Boys '85 Appreciation Thread'?
It really disappointed when I saw the BB's on the 85 tour and Carl was not with them. I knew it would be the only chance to hear "It's Gettin' Late" done live. Turns out, Carl was on the tour, but he just missed the one show I saw. D@/\/\!
