(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

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
(someone in audience) We love you, Brian
(Brian) Thank you

My darlin' you're so fine
Ohhhh-hhh-hhh
Don't know if words can say
But darlin' I'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part
Oh darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
(Darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh oh
I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love but now I can
You pick me up when I'm feeling sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
Cause I think you're too outta sight, outta sight
Oh darlin'

(Darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way soften my life with your love

Your precious love uh huh huh
Oh

Keep dreaming about darlin'

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
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.

B Wilson/J Thomas

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
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

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

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
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations

(Band return)
(Brian) Thank you, we're back, ha ha ha ha
And now that we've rocked out, we're going to a real sweet, pretty, girlie tune from Pet Sounds. (laughs) It's about a girl named Caroline, I won't tell you anything

(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
(someone in crowd) Thank you Brian
(Brian) You're Welcome, you're welcome. Yeah!
And now! Let's do something, now that we did a sad one. A sad one deserves a good happy one right!
So let's do a real happy tune called "All Summer Long."

(Sittin' in my car outside your house)
'Member when we spilled coke all over you blouse
T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)
We've been having fun all summer long
(All summer long you've been with me)
I can't see enough of you
(All summer long we've both been free)
Won't be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now
Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills
(Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills)
When we rode that horse we got a thrill
Every now and the we hear our song
(Every now and the we hear our song)
We've been having fun all summer long
Won't be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now
Every now and then we hear our song
(Every now and then we hear our song)
We've been having fun all summer long
We've been having fun all summer long

Oh the violence that occurs seems like we never win
Love and mercy that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
I was sittin' in my room and the news came on T.V.
A lotta people out there hurtin' and it really scares me
Love and mercy that's what you need 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
Love and mercy tonight
(Huge applause)
(Brian)Good night, drive safe
(Stage announcer) Ladies and gentleman, thanks for coming to the Roxy, the show is now over, and the Roxy is closed, so please start making your way to the exit, thank you very much
