Brian Wilson - 2022 Tour Thread (Plus Archived 2021)

[Rocker]

Brian's facebook account posted a audience shot video of "It's ok" from one of the most recent shows. Sounds good, although Brian seems to be short on breath. But then again you can't say too much because of the quality of the video/recording.

Updated a bunch of setlist links in the top post schedule.

I was pleasantly surprised by Brian's performance last night in Waukegan. I've been to a few shows these past 5 years and they were rough, Brian slurring words, strange timing and delivery of lines, missing words where Al would have to jump in, coughing into the microphone,  etc. There was none of that last night, Brian sounded great throughout.

Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like Al is wiping away some tears. Of course it could be something else, but his brother died just a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if this was the reason.

Thanks -- that's lovely. I remember saying after a 2015 concert -- this song, besides being one of my favorite deep cuts, is really perfect for Brian's current voice.

Whoever does his social media got the date wrong. That’s from 1999. It’s from the BRIAN WILSON IN TOUR DVD which was released around 2002/3.

It's a bit of a composite performance, too, if I recall correctly. The video on the DVD comes from a bunch of different shows, all edited together.

"Stop clapping! Stop clapping!.......Ready now, one, two, three, CLAP!"

Gotta be pretty awesome to be led musically by BW like that at a concert.

Brian’s UK / European 2022 has been cancelled, although he plans to tour there again in 2023. I received an e-mail from Ticketmaster concerning the Amsterdam show I was supposed to attend.

Was a reason given? I wonder if this is a clue of anything to come next summer for the 60th......

I think that's being very, very optimistic, Brian touring again in 2023.
Oh yeah, and he's gonna do a rock and roll album.

“We would like to inform you about the concert by Brian Wilson on 7 June 2022 (original date 22 June 2020, which was previously moved to 13 June 2021) in Koninklijk Theater Carré.

Message from the promoter:
Due to Covid 19-related scheduling constraints, Brian Wilson is regrettably having to reschedule his 2022 UK and European tour to 2023. Unfortunately, no alternative date has been found for the show in Koninklijk Theater Carré, that was planned for 7 June 2022. Therefore, this show will be cancelled.

In an official statement Brian Wilson said:
“We are SO sad that we have to once again push our tour due to the constantly changing and challenging issues overseas surrounding the Covid 19 pandemic. Me and the guys were looking forward to seeing everyone, eating great food and performing.  But with routing impossible and needing to keep our touring group safe we need to postpone. Such a bummer. I miss Europe I MISS London and all of the UK…. My second home. Send good vibes that we will be out of this soon. Stay safe everyone.

Love & Mercy
Brian Wilson”

After reading again I should correct myself: only the Amsterdam show has been cancelled. As far as I can tell all other UK/Europe shows are to be rescheduled.

[UEF]

Well I’m happy. I had good seats, and I was double booked. And now, I hope, I’m not.

No email though

[HeyJude]

Updated the top post with the new tour dates with Chicago next year, and also updated that the European dates are once again postponed.

Made some updates to the top post in the thread to make things cleaner for 2022.

Brian is heading up to Kelowna, BC this summer. https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/368394/Outdoor-music-festival-Rock-the-Lake-returns-to-Prospera-Place
Looks like a great lineup, especially for those who grew up listening to Canadian artists. Note that Chilliwack has a few Beach Boys sounding songs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1tczMnoRek

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

That seems like a pretty good setlist for a meat-and-potatoes, greatest-hits kind of crowd.

"Surfin' Safari" = "live debut by Brian Wilson"? That can't be right, can it? 

[Robbie Mac]

He’s never performed it live until now. Brian never really did some of the early surf and car songs (like the ones Mike would do) on his early solo tours.
