Hey Scott! Good to see you here! I'm still going to stick with "Keepin The Summer Alive" as my request! Also I didn't know that "Papa Oom Mow Mow" was done recently...I'd love to hear that! I never got to hear Christian do "Feel Flows"...I'd really enjoy that too!

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome to the board, and for the great suggestions! We actualy did work up Friends last year but it never made it into a show. And Caroline No sung by yours truly but we ran into curfew problems in the UK.

Tpesky will be gald to know that we are rehearsing This Whole World!

We should give Scott his own thread here, just like Mark Linett, Jon Stebbins, Steve Desper, etc. have.

PS. I know I've had my fair share of Anti-Mike Love comments on this board, and will probably continue to do so...just ignore those rants. I may complain about how "so and so song" is never performed, but the truth is, the majority of the people who pay to see the shows are going to want to hear mostly the hits, and none of my complaining will change that. So Scott, if you ever see me complaining about you guys and your shows, just ignore my rants. My opinions on the matter are very inconsequential...

Oh God please don't give me a thread!!!!

ascrodin, I'll be watching you from now on! But seriously, feel free to post your thoughts pro or con, that's what the board is all about right? I will say that you are right about what the majority of people want to hear. Too often people head for the bathroom during "Betsy", but I try not to take it personally.

Excellent news on This Whole World Such a great ypbeat song, I think it would be perfect for your sound. Maybe a Christmas show in New England..which I always enjoy!! Don't take Betsy too personally...great song. Also would love Caroline No by you at some point. Keep up the great work!

"She was born in '32, and was she ever pretty. She took a freight train west, all the way from Detroit city...Betsy was a lady and that she will remain...She may be rusted iron, but to me she's solid gold...'cause Betsy's growing oooooold!" I love that song!

My ideal Beach Boys setlist would probably send the casual fans heading for the hills. When most people think of the Beach Boys, they think "Surfin' USA" or "Fun Fun Fun' or "I Get Around" rather than "Feel Flows", "Surf's Up", or "A Day In The Life of a Tree".

Have the BBs ever done these songs live?
-Luau
-Chug a lug
-Coocoo Clock
-Your Summer Dreams
-Custom Machine
-Amusement Parks
-Mt Vernon and Fairway (just kidding-although that would be awesome!)

"Over the years, I've been accused of not supporting our new music from this era (67-73) and just wanting to play our hits. That's complete b.s......I was also, as the front man, the one promoting these songs onstage and have the scars to show for it."

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story

"Bull Session". Grin

Would be cool if the boys would do every album once on a special tour. I am dreaming. Wink

My reqests are:
Somewhere Near Japan
Goin' On and
Keepin' The Summer Alive.

Why do Bruce and Dennis solo stuff? They had enough good Beach Boys songs like Tears In The Morning, All I Want To Do and Slip On Through. But it would be really nice to see some 70ies stuff too.

Anyway, welcome Scott! Love your guitar playing, really cool. Cool Guy

Hope you are coming to Austria soon and bring back Getcha Back, Good Timin' and Still Cruisin' into the list.

it'd be interesting to hear Be here in the Morning (one for Murry's bass vocals!) and the other...that effect that's on Brian's voice (through the amp or something)

Al sings lead on Be Here in the Morning, not Brian. Though I guess someone like Randell Kirsch would be singing it live.

I think that a good rockin version of "Heroes & Villains" a la 1973's "In Concert" would be great!

Hey Scott -- any chance of working up "Pacific Ocean Blues"? Great way of acknowledging Dennis without straying too far from the general Beach Boys topics -- plus, Mike's environmental lyrics are still pretty sharp even now. And of course it's funky as all hell...

Cheers,
Jon Blum
