Brian Wilson brings smiles to Chicago Theatre (11/16)

Brian Wilson brings smiles to Chicago Theatre (11/16)
I'm exhausted from 2 hours of the high energy and good vibrations of Brian Wilson and his amazing band last night at Chicago Theater. What a show!

I was alerted to a review posted at Consequence of Sound. While you're there, read the 4th comment from the "pushy d-bag" he refers to in the article. My 15 seconds of BW/BB fame!

  1. As stated, you weren't the guy I was referring to. In fact, when the "pushy d-bag" snagged the set list, I asked for the other one, to which they told me that it was reserved for someone else (meaning, you!).

    So in other words, it wasn't you...

  2. Thanks for clarifying this Michael - But I still like being mistaken as pushing 50 rather than my 60 years old!

    At least our little mix-up got the set-list published!

    BTW, I agree that this crowd was subdued ... I stood for Dance, Dance, Dance (how can anyone sit for that song?) and was yelled at; eventually I had to sit down. Unthinkable!
