        (Audience cheers)
        (Jeff Foskett)Howdy, did you ever think you'd see Brian Wilson at the Roxy. I'm Jeffrey Foskett and I'd like to introduce the other members of this fabulous band that we have.
        From Los Angeles, California singing on some great background parts, Miss Taylor Mills
        And from Chicago, Illinois, he wants to be introduced as Barbie Cappucino, but his real name is Scott Bennett
        And two of the best rhythm section players around, the Tasty Brothers, Mr. Jimmy Hines on drums, Mr. Bob Lizik on bass
        And we are fortunate to have with us tonight, from the band Poi Dog Pondering on saxophony and flute and harmonica, Mr. Paul Mertens
        And some of you might recognise these fellows, they play here once in a while, they're called the Wondermints, Mr. Mikey D'Amico, Mr. Nicky Wonder, Probyn Gregory and Mr. Darian Saha-Naja!
        And batting clean up tonight, the man we all came to see and hear, the great Brian Wilson

        And if you want to find me
        I'll be out in my sandbox
        Wondering where the hell all the love has gone
        Playing my piano
        And building castles in the sun
        And singing "Fun Fun Fun"
        Lying in bed like Brian Wilson did
        Well I'm lying in bed like Brian Wilson did
        Yes I'm lying in bed like Brian Wilson did
        Well I'm lying in bed like Brian Wilson did

        (Brian) It can almost put you to sleep, don't fall asleep, please.
        I'm a cork on the ocean
        Floating over the raging sea
        How deep is the ocean?
        How deep is the ocean?
        I lost my way
        Hey hey hey
         
        I'm a rock in a landslide
        Rolling over the mountainside
        How deep is the valley?
        How deep is the valley?
        It kills my soul
        Hey hey hey
         
        I'm a leaf on a windy day
        Pretty soon I'll be blown away
        How long will the wind blow?
        How long will the wind blow?
        Do do do do do do do do do do do do
         
        Until I die
        Until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die
        These things I'll be until I die

        (Brian)Thank you, woah, woah, woah, woah! This next song, this next one is the, our rhythm and blues kind of a song that I wrote, it's probably my favorite song that I wrote

        I may not always love you
        But long as there are stars above you
        You never need to doubt it
        I'll make you so sure about it
         
        God only knows what I'd be without you
         
        If you should ever leave me
        Though life would still go on believe me
        The world could show nothing to me
        So what good would living do me
         
        God only knows what I'd be without you
         
        God only knows what I'd be without you
         
        If you should ever leave me
        Well life would still go on believe me
        The world could show nothing to me
        So what good would living do me
         
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows what I'd be without you
        God only knows

        (Brian) Thank you very much (cheers) Great!
        I don't know if any of you have had any deaths in your family, when someone dies in your family.
        Well I lost my brother Carl a couple of years ago, he was a quite a great guy (cheers), thank you
        So I'm going to dedicate this song to anyone who have had a death in your family and to my brother Carl Wilson.


        8. Lay Down Burden
        B Wilson/J Thomas
        New Executive Music; BMI
        3:29

        So many years spent running away
        How many times I wished I could stay
        Too much emotion a hole in my heart
        Feeling alone since we’ve been apart
        And if I had the chance
        I’d never let you go
        I just want you to know

        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden
        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden

        So many things I wanted to do
        How many times spent thinking this through
        So many nights spent here by the phone
        Wonderin’ if you felt just as alone
        And while some things have all been
        Crazy from the start
        It’s tearing me apart

        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden
        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden

        Just remember the way I held you
        You’re always in my heart

        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden
        Down, lay me down
        Lay me down
        Lay down burden

        (Brian) Thank you very much

        6:02

        I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
        And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
        I hear the sound of a gentle word
        On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
         
        I'm pickin' up good vibrations
        She's giving me excitations
        I'm pickin' up good vibrations

        She's giving me excitations
        (Oom bop bop excitations)
         
        Close my eyes
        She's somehow closer now
        Softly smile, I know she must be kind
        When I look in her eyes
        She goes with me to a blossom world
         
        I'm pickin' up good vibrations
        She's giving me excitations
        I'm pickin' up good vibrations

        (audience) No!
        (Brian)Don't you think this rocks, and don't you think this rocks?
        Where did your long hair go
        Where is the girl I used to know
        How could you lose that happy glow
        Oh, Caroline no
         
        Who took that look away
        I remember how you used to say
        You'd never change, but that's not true
        Oh, Caroline you
         
        Break my heart
        I want to go and cry
        It's so sad to watch such a sweet thing die
        Oh, Caroline why
         
        Break my heart
        I want to go and cry
        It's so sad to watch such a sweet thing die
        Oh, Caroline why
         
        Could I ever find in you again
        Things that made me love you so much then
        Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
        Oh, Caroline no

        (Brian)(thank you)

        So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

        So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
         
        I was standin' in a bar and watchin' all the people there
        Oh the loneliness in this world well it's just not fair
         
        Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
        So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
