Downtown
This
was one fantastic concert. Leaving out all the negatives that could be
brought up (ticket prices, venue choice, 'auto-tune'?) I was floored
how good the music (the backing band
in particular) sounded. Yeah sure, the guys are getting up there in age
and one cannot rule out the 'cashgrab' factor, especially after seeing
first hand the 'fragility' of Brother Brian,
but the songs were great, the crowd was into it and I simply had fun.
My biggest surprise was Mike Love. Always considered (unfairly) to be
the cantankerous Beach Boy, he was charming as he blew kisses and waved
and told corny jokes throughout the night. He really made the show for
me, other than all those killer songs of course.
