Brian Wilson Concert--July 7, 2000

Brian Wilson
State Theater, Easton, PA
July 7, 2000

Opening night for the Pet Sounds Symphonic Tour. The show reportedly topped two hours in length! The songs that were performed on last year's tour that did not make it this time were: "The Little Girl I Once Knew", "This Whole World", "South American", "Back Home", "Your Imagination", and "All Summer Long". Although "Be My Baby" is not featured here in this long set, it is featured in the short set during this tour. Also, it appears that "This Isn't Love", performed in April at the two Roxy shows, was not picked up for the new setlist.
