Great show last night in the temporary Deutsches Theatre (the original being renovated).
TLOS (faux intro!) California Girls (instant mayhem) Catch a Wave Row Your Boat Hy Little Girl Dance Dance Dance Surfer Girl In My Room Salt Lake City 409 Little Deuce Cope Soul Searchin' Desert Drive Don't Worry Baby I Get Around Do It Again Sail On Sailor Marcella Break The Girl I Once Knew he I Kissed Her Imagination Add Some Music When I grow Up All Summer Long Custom Machine Shut Down Do You Want To Dance (I think...I was transmitting this live to the UK by phone) Slop John B Wouldn't It Be Nice God Only Knows Midnight's Another Day Going Home Southern California Good Vibrations Encore 1 Jonny B Good Help Me Rhonda Barbara Ann Surfin' USA Fun Fun Fun Encore 2 Love and Mercy This is certainly the longest setlist I've experience from Brian and the band and it included a much welomed addition of a few new and rarely played songs.. Three things were going through my mind when this tour was announced. Why three shows in Germany and would the Munich audience get in to the music? Easily answered as within minutes they were showing their appreciation and love for Brian. The audience were up dancing at every opportunity and a number of self made banners were placed on the stage for Brian's attention.They also had knowledge of the stuff from TLOS. Was I really wanting to go to another "hits" show? Well if I hadn't I would have missed an absolute belter. Brian appeared relaxed and was in good voice. He was straining by the time God Only Knows was played but made a remarkable recovery for the songs from TLOS and the encores. Finally, would this be Brian's last tour? Let's just say that I hope that I got three out of three wrong and hope that we see him performing for some more years to come. The band, well they were played so well and despite Nelson's absence due to illness others filled in some of the percussion parts when necessary. On the beer front I've only managed to drink my way through three Munich breweries (Augustiner, Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr). I'm particularly loving the Wiess Beir (wheat beer) and due to strict laws governing beer contents I also enjoying a hangover free weekend. This morning I'm going to see the Munchen Philharmonic play. An old school friend who I haven't seen for 37 years is playing french horn with them today so he's going to be freaked when I appear after the performance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Diamond Headz" group.
