Custom Machine? Awesome! So underrated.
The rest - meh. Melt Away should get far more credit. IMO it's as good as most of Pet Sounds.

"Shut down" is my favorite car-song and one of the most exciting rock'n'roll records from that era. But I wonder how Brian will handle the not that easy lyrics.

What to drop in favor of these songs? Lets begin with Barbara Ann. Lets drop it TWICE.....on her HEAD!!!! And I could go to at least one concert of any and all of the BeachBoys without hearing FFF again. Its time we used a new encore set to satisfy the crowd.

Brian performed Little Deuce Coupe at a few 2003 shows.  Your Imagination has been done WAY too many times to count - he was doing it as late as 2004! Same for Desert Drive. |

Car songs and pre-BWPS/TLOS solo tracks... Not exactly the 'new' old songs I was hoping for...  Oh well, I'm really looking forward to the Amsterdam show anyway. Does anyone know if he'll be doing anything from TLOS? |

Couldn't agree more. I also REALLY hope he dropped Johnny B. Goode. Good song, but only if Chuck Berry does it. |

I hope to see him this year. I would love to hear a litttle of SMiLE and a little of TLOS as part of the show.
I like Desert Drive done live. Much better that way. Sort of the difference between Do It Again live vs studio. I could enjoy hearing it live anytime.
I think Mike's band has trumped Brians in terms of car songs by including Ballad of Old Betsy in recent perfrmances.

I don't care for Desert Drive. I didn't enjoy hearing it live on the Paul Simon co-headliner tour.
You Imagination has been played at a lot of shows, but I really like that one and they really rock out on it.
I am excited by Custom Machine. Good choice. Still waiting for some Love You stuff to get dusted off. Wouldnt mind a return of "This Whole World" either.

Couldn't agree more and unlike most people I totally prefer the original arrangement over the IJWMFTT version. To me, this song shows the true potential of BW88 as it does indeed sound like a Pet Sounds-type production circa 1988. |

It's one of my favorite cuts from BW88 ("There's So Many" being the next best for me), so I'm really glad to hear he's going to be doing it live. The others don't really excite me that much, but at least we have some hope for some other new stuff in the future..."A Day In The Life of a Tree" anyone? |

Could it mean he will do some of the "Pleasure Island' songs? They would qualify as new but old songs.

Ballad of Ol' Betsy would be great to hear Brian do if he could handle it. Your Summer Dream and Keep an Eye on Summer were given higher profile by Summer Love Songs, but again might be hard for him to do justice to. Wish he could/would do We'll Run Away. |

Custom Machine would be fun to hear with Jeff's vocals on falsetto...any chance someone will record this?  I have a recording from an RFH performance of Pet Sounds where Melt Away was performed (when Brian was taking request on the Blueboard I believe)...and it sounded great, the vocals were amazing, possibly my favorite version, again, Jeff had that young sounding-Brian-falsetto goin on which made it that much better. I remember hearing Desert Drive at the Paul Simon shows but then never hearing it for a couple of years, which is dissapointing....now that sounds like a Wrecking Crew vibe! |

To view my video documentation of my Beach Boys collection go to www.youtube.com/justinplank "Someone needs to tell Adrian Baker that imitation isn't innovation." -The Real Beach Boy ~post of the century~ "Well, you reached out to me too, David, and I'd be more than happy to fill Bgas's shoes. You don't need him anyway - some of us have the same items in our collections as he does and we're also much better writers. Spoiled brat....." -Mikie "in this online beach boy community, I've found that you're either correct or corrected. Which in my mind is all in good fun to show ones knowledge of their favorite band."- punkinhead |

I'm really excited for the Brian solo songs that are being added to the set. The only time I saw Brian, the only "solo" song he did (besides Good Vibrations with the Asher lyrics) was Love & Mercy.

I think he did that and 'Desert Drive' when i saw him. Stuff like Walkin' The Line would work great live, i have no idea why that hasn't gone in.Same with 'Meet Me In My dreams' |

The following four songs are ones Brian has performed rarely:
- Soul Searchin'
- Melt Away
- Imagination
- Desert Drive
Damn we've been lucky in Sydney -- we got "Melt Away" and "Imagination" on his first tour, and "Soul Searchin'" and "Desert Drive" at the Opera House. Great to hear they're coming back -- "Imagination" in particular was a revelation once it had been de-Thomasized. Wonder if this'll knock on the head the "Brian's embarrassed by his other solo albums" mutterings? Cheers, Jon Blum |
