This was Fall of 2006.

I wish that Al would be allowed to be a permanent addition to Brian's band.

does anyone else notice how much happier brian seems when Al jardine is playing with him?!?! He wasnt like this when I saw him in boston in december.

@YouMuseMe Sure hope so! They are great together.

@YouMuseMe Al's career depends on the Beach Boys, I'm sure he's willing to do a reunion, whether with Brian, with Mike or both. But let's face it, Brian's happier going solo and the Beach Boys give him lots of bad memories. I'm sure he won't do a reunion tour. Sure, Brian is good friends with Al but friendship doesn't equal musical collaboration. The most plausible I think is that the three of them will do anniversary tours on their own and maybe Brian and Al will share one or two casual gigs.

@begbieboy Do you think Al and Brian will be together for the 2011 50th anniversary tour?

when is this

@TheTravelingThumb live at the Keswick in Penn. on Nov. 19th, 2006 :)

Woah!! Brian can actually move onstage!! No wonder he was so happy during this show.

I think if they both still performed together regularly, that would be a truer incarnation of the Beach Boys (more original members, better attitude and better musicians) than the Mike-Bruce half (got anything against them, but Mik'e's live performances sound bad and corny, unlike Brian's). But of course, the best would be to have all four finally reunited wich I don't see happening at all;that would be nuts.

man brian goes nuts when al starts singing. I think deep down brian would love to do a show with all the guys again, but he's just unsure about mike. Mike claimed they're going into the studio together later this year (2010), maybe Mike will earn some trust back from Brian and they'll do some shows.

@mdefil23 It's VERY true. He's happier. More energetic. More natural. No question.

One of my all time favorites. Had the great fortune to meet with Al after a concert at Duke University back in 1982. We talked in great length about his home in Big Sur and especially about Brian. Unforgetable!

Brian seems so much happier with AL! Brian didnt have this kind of energy when I saw him in Boston.
