Brian Wilson Concert--January 20, 2002

Brian Wilson
Annexet, Stockholm, Sweden
January 20, 2002

The contributor writes: "I just came home from the concert! WHAT A SHOW! I´ve seen Brian 5 times in the States, but this was something extraordinary! The superb setlist, his voice - he was doing some REALLY good vocal parts, Heroes and Villains, Forever, Don´t Talk, God Only Knows just to mention a few - it was as beautiful as (... my english is to bad to express my feelings...), he was talking and joking with the audience quite a lot of times - after seeing the poor result when he asked the audience to light their cigarette lighters he said: "OK now we´re in Europe. You´re all non smokers..." Isn´t it brave to start the first ever European tour with Brian Wilson/´Til I Die...?"

It is interesting to note that Darlin' & Marcella are paired together at the end of the very first set; this was a powerful pair on the Beach Boys' 1973 "In Concert" album. Also fairly new to the setlist are "Meant For You" and "Friends". "All Summer Long" has been dropped to the setlist, and "Help Me Rhonda" moves to the encore.
