I'm in Holland so Spain is too far away, unfortionately... Brian comes here quite a lot, I believe he played in Holland about ten times since the Smile tour (2004). Mike & Bruce haven't been here once in all those years.

Ok, so post concert review time. 
The Braves went on to win 9-3 and have swept the Phillies! ;D
The concert was great! Mike's voice has held up and sounds just as it does in the recordings.  Bruce was great and gave acknolegement to Carl after sing "God Only Knows". 
The songs are what you'd expect I guess. Maybe "Do it Again" and "When I Grow Up" were perhaps the only two that I wouldn't have thought of.
Other than that it was a fun show and everyone was dancing and singing.  I'd definitely go again if I had the chance. I just can't wait to see Brian at some point. It's too bad he doesn't tour very far or go down South for that matter.

Sounds like you had a great time at that "doubleheader."  That was a nice way to kick off the summer.

And I'm happy to hear that Carl was acknowledged.
I can stay till it's time to go

Good to hear you had a good time and that people still enjoy their concerts. :) The state of Mike's voice seems to depend on the day. Some days he sounds just like he used to, sometimes he sounds unbearably nasal. The two songs you mentioned really aren't such big surprises though - 'Do It Again' was a UK #1 (apart from 'Good Vibrations' their only British chart topper ever), 'When I Grow Up', though often absent on best of-compilations, was a US top 10 hit.

Both Brian and the Mike & Bruce Band always dedicate 'God Only Knows' to Carl. And sometimes they throw in 'Forever' for Dennis too.

Some news from the Beach Boys camp:

Al Jardine's first solo album 'Postcard From California', which was first announced three or four years ago, is finally coming out next week but unfortionately it'll be a download release only. Guest stars include all living Beach Boys members, Steve Miller, Gerry Beckley & Dewey Bunnell (America), David Crosby, Neil Young, Glen Campbell, Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Alec Baldwin.

Brian's new solo album 'Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin' will be released on August 17. It contains 14 Gershwin compositions, including two that have never been recorded by anyone before. Tracklisting: Rhapsody In Blue (Intro) / The Like In I Love You (unreleased) / Summertime / I Loves You Porgy / I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' / It Ain't Necessarily So / 'S Wonderful / They Can't Take That Away From Me / Love Is Here To Stay / I've Got A Crush On You / I Got Rhythm / Someone To Watch Over Me / Nothing But Love (unreleased) / Rhapsody In Blue (Reprise). Insiders say it's an incredibly good album. Next up will be an album of classic Disney songs.

Mike Love recently said that a reunion with Brian for the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary has been discussed. However, Brian's website released a statement saying that there are no such plans. Insiders believe there indeed will be a reunion of some sort.

According to Al Jardine, it has been discussed now that all living members might do a few reunion shows in 2011. And apparently, Dennis's son Carl B. and Carl's son Justyn have expressed interest in replacing their dads. Could be really cool if it works out.

 ;D

You could form a pretty good band out of the Beach Boys' offspring. Al Jardine used to tour with his sons Matt and Adam and Brian's daughters Carnie and Wendy for a while and when they sang together it really had a bit of that old Beach Boys magic. And if they'd throw Mike's son Christian in the mix too it would be even better, it's eerie how much he sounds like Carl Wilson.

The Trashmen - Surfin' Bird

The Beach Boys - Papa Om Mow Mow - Lost Concert



;)

'Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow' is a song by The Rivingtons from 1962. The Beach Boys covered it in it's original form, The Trashmen combined it with another Rivingtons song, 'The Bird's The Word' (it's kind of like what we today would call a mash-up). So basically they're both covers of the same song.

Right, Joost, and another case of R&B covering.  So, here are The Rivingtons...
