'60's when Brian just wanted to write and no longer go on the road. He played bass and kybds and was just as much a BB as any of them. Saw them in '99 and '04 or 5. Al J. hadn't been with them. It may be a tribute but they're keeping the spirit alive. RIP Carl and Dennis.
I saw Mike and the band in Australia a couple of years a go and they were great!
They are back in melbourne at the end of january and i will be there.... Even though it is not the original lets hope they go as long as they can because once they stop that is it-- Its all tribute shows from here on in...
When Mike love goes they will surely hurt. He along with Al are the only 2 that can carry a solid tune without being pitchy. Carl is sorely missed, I think he was the glue, and he has passed. You are right every since really 1985 there really hasnt been a real beach boy group, just d/b/a I guess. Most of the three out there are pretty good though but the last few years Brians voice has gone really sour
Mike has always been the one who was "pitchy". I agree with the D/B/A. No one would attend if it were just "Mike Love in concert" (sorry Mike). The name "The Beach Boys" IS the majic now and it is a franchise like McDonalds. Please clarify what you're you're talking about in regard to 1985. In 1985, we had Al, Mike, Bruce, Carl and sometimes Brian. Dennis Bless him, rarely sang anyway. So what are you referring to ? Respectfully Good Vibes to you JHP
I call them the Group d/b/a ["doing business as"] The Beach Boys. Most of the people I talk to at Group d/b/a BB concerts aren't even aware that the band is Wilson- and Jardine-free!
Brian has his own band he tours with now. He hasn't played a show with the Boys since 1995, and he hasn't regularly been on the road with them since 1983.
They played most of the greatest hits and then a few off of their new album that they had just released. It sounded really, really good considering their age. And the show was over 2 hours long which was great!
Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, plus a rotating cast of characters which normally comprises of Tim Bonhomme, Christian Love, John Cowsill, Randall Kirsch, a couple other guys who's names I can't remember, and occasional guest appearances by John Stamos.
Sometimes David Marks joins them so it's a little more real.

Bruce Johnston came on board in the mid-late

Well in this video Mike and Bruce are present and since Bruce joined a few years after they began ,I would not remove the S from the name.

Brian has his own band he tours with now. He hasn't played a show with the Boys since 1995, and he hasn't regularly been on the road with them since 1983.
