The Beach Boys' 50th anniversary thread

When Al sent that message on Facebook, I thought it was maybe a publicity stunt, particularly as the dates were already booked. That's seeming less likely now, as I don't think that Mike Love would be prepared to look like such an ass for the sake of publicity. Rocker has a point though - Love has not ruled out working with them again.

For their next to last concert the Beach Boys pulled out the **** yesterday at Royal Albert Hall! Not only did they play every song they did on the reunion tour (incl. Our Prayer!), they also added a new show closer. "Summer's gone" from the new album!!

Not had much time lately to catch up on music due to personal problems, but today I bought 5 of the new Remastered albums, and so far they are superb with the new mixes and such, however I'm not that excited about the digipack look. The Beatles remasters was put together very nice compared with these, but in the end it is the music and not the style you look at anyways.

I'll have to check out that Wembley show you linked bud.

I'm glad you like them, Mac !


What can you say? The Beach Boys in all their glroy....

Why the hell there are no bonus tracks on the remasters? So you can't get rid of the old ones.
Bastards.
