marvin Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just for you, Ira It really was a special night at the Beach Boys show in Calgary last night. Hard to put it all into words, but the magic of the band and their music is timeless. Sure Brian looks like he'd rather be somewhere else, and while he probably still doesn't like performing, I believe he really does understand what his music has brought to so many people around the world. I still can't stand Mike Love, but heck he is the ultimate front man.Last night's songs were a jukebox of memories - 49 of them! 1 Do it Again2 Catch A Wave3 Hawaii4 Don't Back Down5 Surfin Safari6 Surfer Girl7 Getcha Back8 Wendy9 This Whole World10 Then She Kissed Me11 Please Let Me Wonder12 Come Go With Me13 Why Do Fools Fall In Love14 When I Grow Up To Be a Man15 Disney Girls16 Kiss Me Baby17 It's Ok18 Cottonfields19 Good Timin'20 Isn't It Time21 California Saga: Cool Clear Water22 Be True To Your School23 Don't Worry Baby24 Little Deuce Coupe25 40926 Shut Down27 I Get Around28 Pet Sounds29 Add Some Music30 Heroes and Villains31 I Just Wasn't Made For These Times32 Sloop John B33 Wouldn't It Be Nice34 In My Room35 All This is That36 That's Why God Made the Radio37 Sail On Sailor38 Forever39 God Only Knows40 Good Vibrations41 California Girls42 All Summer Long43 Help Me Rhonda44 Rock and Roll Music45 Barbara Ann46 Surfin USA47 Kokomo48 Do You Wanna Dance49 Fun Fun FunThe supporting musicians for the Boys have a large say in the sound, and their work cannot be denied. It is exemplary on all levels. In the end, I really was glad that I went to the show, as it reminded me that when it comes to music, all you really need is a good melody, and the BB's and Brian have done it better than (almost) anyone else.

ira Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm flattered Marvin.Though I have a mind of my own...your "take" on music is incredible...and somehow...I was eager to see if you enjoyed the tour as much as I did...'cause I'm blinded by nostalgia and my love for these guys...and you're ALWAYS objective.Again everybody out there...I ain't even sure that they're not already on their way to Europe for the final leg..but if you can...run...don't walk...to catch the man who created the soundtrack of American Summer together with Mike..Bruce..David...and the under-rated "George Harrison" of the Beach Boys...Al Jardine.

And I can easily think of 10 more songs that they could have done and that STILL wouldn't have been enough!This concert brought back pleasant memories of when I saw the Boys a couple of times in the 70's during the peak of their "Endless Summer" career resurgence. Just a party with 18,000 people singing along to every song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
