Brian Wilson Concert--December 12, 2002

Brian Wilson
State Theatre, Sydney, Australia
December 12, 2002

David Leach writes: "At this concert the celebrities were in force. Some of note were Daniel Johns (Silverchair), Natalie Imbruglia, Pia Miranda, and a few others. This show is the first performance of the Pet Sounds set in Australia. It wasn't performed in Brisbane, possibly due to the different time zones between Hawaii and Australia.

Taylor had injured her ankle the day prior, and spent the concert sitting down. At the band intro's everyone took time to make fun of Taylor's injury as they either hobbled onto stage or tripped.

Note: Hang On To Your Ego, instead of I Know There's An Answer. I was hoping he'd get onto playing Trombone Dixie."
