I saw Brian Wilson Saturday.
The band was incredible, every player helped with backup vocals.
They played 20 songs!
I was expecting a short 8-10 song set, but at 80 years old, he's a trooper.
Glad I got to see him on what I imagine is the last time he'll ever tour.
PS, they played my favorite Beach Boys song, Heroes and Villains! A pleasant surprise!

Not that I would've gone but where was this show?

Cynthia Woods Pavilion in the Woodlands
He opened for Chicago, who were great too, but I'd seen them twice already.
Seeing Mr. Wilson (and Al Jardin) was a treat!

Does Chicago even have any original members?
Seems like they got the billing reversed.

Does Chicago even have any original members? Seems like they got the billing reversed. According to Wikipedia, keyboard player Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, and trombonist James Pankow are original members still in the band. I became a Beach Boys (and thus Brian Wilson) fan a long time ago, and not too many years later a Chicago fan. But I can't disagree with Auf Kiltre about them reversing the billing. |

I saw Brian +/- 3 years ago in Missouri. His voice wasn't what it once was, but Al finished some songs that Brian started; so there may have been another issue of some kind. Whatever the case, I enjoyed the band, the show, and that he is still performing.
Cynthia Woods Pavilion is a nice facility. I saw several shows there when we lived in The Woodlands.

There’s a YT short of Bob Dylan singing Happy Birthday to Brian Wilson. I think he just turned 80.
