Beach Boys Concert--April 22, 2005

Gran Rex Theater, Buenos Aires, Argentina
April 22, 2005

Excerpts from contributor Pablo S. Alonso's review: "The theatre has a capacity of 3000-3500 seats. I'd say that 75% of them were filled. Mike seemed a bit tired around 'Getcha Back'...But the show was very professional yet loose. The harmonies were very good, so were the members who sang the Wilsons' leads. They had also great respect to the original arrangments, especially the guitar parts. Sometimes the synth keyboards couldn't do enough to reproduce the original sounds, and the election of patches wasn't always tasteful: Bruce used a Joe Thomas-like piano on 'Disney Girls', and they used a bad organ sound for "California Girls", where Bonhomme didn't play the left hand walking in B at the end of the intro, which worried me a bit. Luckily, as I said, the general performance were very good...Mike's banter -some of it in a good Spanish- was very amusing."
