Beach Boys at 2009 Convention

[kingofpecos]

To me, this are not the Beach Boys, it's a bad joke. The Beach Boys' end came in 1998 when Carl Wilson died. Mike and Bruce are using the famous name to make more money. It's an ego trip. A lot of people never took the BB's serious because Mike was making an oldie band out of them. And he still goes on. Brian is a sensible artist who can't work with such a grasping bloke. In their youth they were friends, but the older they get the better we can see the differences between them.

When Mike Love sued Brian Wilson for credit on Pet Sounds ony Asher was heard to say in open court: "The only lyrical contribution Mike Love made to Pet Sounds was one do-wah and one do-diddy." It is also true, I believe, that Love was able to snatch the use of the term "Beach Boys" for his exclusive use, the reason why Brian cannot tour as a Beach Boy and uses the Brian Wilson Band instead. Mike Love was one member; Al Jardine another; meanwhile RIP, Dennis and Carl. This really isn't the BB.

No Wilson's, no Beach Boys. Please see Brian Wilson. The sing in this is not even close.

I have been a Kansas Leo for 7 years and Minneapolis was my 4th International Convention. May I say that Minneapolis has been the most fun I have ever had. The Beach Boys put on a great show. The baseball game was a blast. Even though the Yankees won(I'm a Red Sox fan). Meeting Lions and Leos from around the world is always fun. Especially meeting the cute Norway girls. Thannk you for a great convention Al.

@lowrider0890 thanks. Am glad you enjoyed. We did our best to host a great convention. The members deserve a part and they got one.

Living my dream singing with the Beach Boys. Al B

ah why didnt you use the actual sound from the live performance?

[mkptv]

I think the last part was actual sound from the live performance, but your right, the beginning and middle I think were songs taken from the original record. When editing a video like this everyone has their own way of presenting a video presentation like this. I did think the video worked, using more actual audio, may have been nice, but I really enjoyed the video mysel;f five stars. Sometimes copyright issues can come into play, but great vid. Thanks for posting.

@mdefil23 Probably best that they didn't!
