Gang,

It was our 16th wedding anniversary, so I bucked up and got front row tickets to the Saratoga Springs, NY concert. The sound check was totally cool and worth the price of admission... especially when David Marks belted out "Getcha Back!"

During the actual concert We were seated right in front of Brian. The boys sounded great and I snapped a bunch of pics and here are a few...

Thank for sharing the photos and Happy Anniversary. That's what I call "Good Timin' " Front row seats, terrific! David Marks singing "Getcha Back", wow! I guess he likes that song.

How did you get the set list? I have a set list from a Mike and Bruce show but you've got one from a 50th anniversary concert. I treasure mine but would be willing to trade it for that one. j/k. I know you won't be giving it up anytime soon. What other memories do you have of the show? Any funny banter besides the "We're old" jokes. Any memorable smiles? Anything yelled out from the audience? What song was the most enjoyed? Thanks in advance.

I have several... Most signed! Could not get this one signed, but it will be nice when I build a collage soon.

Sunflower,

Mike came over and high fived me a few times. He held my wife's hand longer, I noticed. Brian was mello, but sounded fantastic all night. the crowd was seated for most of the first set, except for a few times. I personally think the first 10 rows should be for dancing only! for most of the upbeat songs in second set, the entire crowd was up and dancing, thank goodness.

before the encore, Mike came over to me and shook my hand nicely. I wish all the guys would have come over, but they all went straight to instruments.

I'm going to see them again this Friday in Darien lake, so I'll report again.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and the photos. I love the one with you and your wife with the boys. That is really nice that they take the time to take pictures with fans. That is priceless. It sounds like you had a great time. I hope it is just as good for this next concert. Lucky you. I'm still sad that the tour did not come to my city. :angry:

I can't wait to hear about this next concert. I hope you have a great time and that you have a safe trip.

That picture cost me over $ 900.00 for the two tickets!! It was part of the meet & greet package. Honestly, I felt I got my money's worth after the sound check. It lasted approx 45 minutes and included songs that they did not do in the main concert.

I should also say that the boys (all of them) sounded terrific during the concert. The combination of vocals and imstruments was fantastic! I felt like I was seeing history!

Plus, my three favorite songs are Kiss Me,Baby All This Is That and Getcha Back... So how could I go wrong!

I agree that The Beach Boys are sounding great. They are amazing. You are seeing history. They are America's band and what is wonderful is they are giving it their all. I'm glad you got to hear your three favorite songs. I like Getcha Back too.
