REVIEW
This was a great concert even though the orignal members are gone like Carl, Al, Brian, and Dennis. I'd still see Mike and Bruce any day. They added some newer songs that they havent played the last two times I saw the Beach Boys in 1992 and 2000, so it was good to see the set list changed a little bit. The opening act was a comedian: Steve Morris. He was real funny. I liked it that they did two songs on the encore: "Back In The USSR" and "Fun Fun Fun". "Back In The USSR" was another new one that they added to the set list. If you havent seen Mike and Bruce yet you should, theyr'e great. It still isn't the same without the orignal members in the band, though.
