Found it funny to see "The Beach Boys" listed for Universal. I'm guessing it's the Mike Love ruse again.

It worked OK when seeing Three Dog Night, as the lead singers were the big draw even back then. But just one or two original members left from a band where you knew the names of everyone in the band really sucks!

A friend got tickets to see said Beach Boys on NYE as they were playing the Hard Rock Live here in SoFla ... all I could think of was 'you paid almost $100 a ticket to see a group that almost is not at all the BBs that was playing the Food and Wine Fest a month ago for free?!'
