speaker_2HOST
It's like they're navigating uncharted waters.
speaker_1HOST
And the idea of possibly touring as Beach Boys featuring Al Jardine, that's a fascinating twist.
speaker_2HOST
Right.
speaker_2HOST
It raises questions about legacy and identity in the music world.
speaker_1HOST
Did you catch the simultaneous concerts last weekend?
speaker_2HOST
Yes, I saw that Mike Love and Al Jardine were both performing on the same night but in different states.
speaker_2HOST
That's wild.
speaker_1HOST
Right? It's like they're both competing for the beach vibes while being on totally different spectrums of the band's history.
RyanHOST
It's really neat.
RyanHOST
Well, Al Jardine sings the lead on that, and I love it.
RyanHOST
I think I just really enjoy Al Jardine's voice more than anybody else's.
RyanHOST
You know, it's just for some reason it just sticks out more to me.
RyanHOST
I enjoy it more.
RyanHOST
I want to hear more Al Jardine and a little bit less of Mike Love.
RyanHOST
And that's, you know, so maybe that's why Here Today just doesn't do it for me.
RyanHOST
You know, it was on my list last time.
Craig BennettGUEST
Otherwise, there's no real point.
Craig BennettGUEST
Um, and so you think about The Beach Boys, uh, Brian, Carl, and, and Dennis Wilson along with Al Jardine, they founded The Beach Boys back in 1961.
Craig BennettGUEST
And as, uh, I've just mentioned, Mike is still with us.
Craig BennettGUEST
So is Al Jardine.
Craig BennettGUEST
In fact, he was recently in Australia, Al, touring and beautifully.
Craig BennettGUEST
Uh, Brian died last year after decades of, of horrible health, both mental and, uh, uh, and his general health.
BranDon McAfeePANELIST
Well, Mike Love is the sole remaining original member of the Beach Boys.
BranDon McAfeePANELIST
But meanwhile, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, these guys are still rocking.
BranDon McAfeePANELIST
This is just from the other day.
BranDon McAfeePANELIST
Look at this.
Joe GigantiHOST
Some of you that follow the band may know, uh, that Mike Love had the touring version of the Beach Boys.
Joe GigantiHOST
Al Jardine and, and some of the other guys are out touring with Brian Wilson's band.
Joe GigantiHOST
There's, there's been animosity there for years.
Joe GigantiHOST
It's sad.
speaker_1HOST
It's a challenge many face but rarely talked about openly.
speaker_0HOST
And then there's Al Jardine performing separately.
speaker_0HOST
It's interesting to think about how the dynamics within the band are shifting.
speaker_1HOST
Yeah, Jardine's show sounds like a contrast to what's happening with Mike.
Chris GoldenHOST
The Beach Boys from Summer Days (And Summer Nights!) getting the show underway.
Chris GoldenHOST
That's Help Me, Rhonda from 1965 with Al Jardine on lead vocals.
Chris GoldenHOST
Well, this is Golden's Oldies.
Chris GoldenHOST
I'm Chris Golden.
MickHOST
And then reworked again by Terry Jacks, who's a Canadian record producer.
MickHOST
He... did the cleaning up of the song for the Beach Boys because he was good friends with Al Jardine.
MickHOST
And the Beach Boys said, oh, that's a bit bleak for us.
MickHOST
We're not going to do it.
David BeardGUEST
I'm thinking, oh, man, The Beach Boys must have just thought it was so cool to watch James Brown or, or Marvin Gaye, or, you know, whoever was on the bill.
David BeardGUEST
And it's funny, when you, then I'm talking to Al Jardine and he says, "I didn't get to see anybody.
David BeardGUEST
They had me in the, uh, they, they had us sequestered in our, uh, room-
Arroe CollinsHOST
No
7 MINS LATER
David BeardGUEST
And Brian got so picky with them that if one made a mistake, he'd say, "Okay, stop.
David BeardGUEST
We're gonna start again." And, and he kind of demanded, uh, the best out of them.
David BeardGUEST
I, I love the part in the book where Al Jardine says they just got back from tour and they're singing, um, I, is it You're So Good To Me? I, I think, I think that's it, where they're going, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na."
Arroe CollinsHOST
