Concert and Back Stage Passes!

Linda and Tom holding our passes

 This is a follow-up to yesterday's post.
While sipping coffee yesterday,
 Linda and I met Al Jardine from the Beach Boys!
He gave us passes to his concert that night.

 We scurried around, packed a picnic and
prepared for any kind of weather.

 We had thunder, lighting and of course rain.
Then the sun came out!

 Perfect evening, in every way.

 When the Beach Boys hit the stage and
strummed their guitars,
the beach balls came flying out.
 They played the oldies but goodies and
some from their new album.
This is their 50th Anniversary!

Their traveling buses

After the concert, we were ushered "back stage" to
a building on the grounds

We were some of the fortunate enough to visit
the band memebers after the show and
waited outside.

    I heard they were celebrating their 50th with a new album. Did you enjoy their new pieces? I always enjoy their oldies.

  4. You sure know where to go for coffee. I'm so glad you went and had such a good time!
    Gee, those guys are pretty old, aren't they. I can remember crawling under the covers at night and listening to them with my single ear plug and transistor radio. :D Guess I'm pretty old too! But I wasn't even a teen then and loved their music. I still do!

  13. This is so wonderful! I would love to have such an adventure of serendipity!

    It would be even better (for me) if while out having coffee, I ran into someone from oh, say... The Eagles.


    But the Beach Boys are on my short list too.
