Ladies and gentlemen.. we have a new champion!

Right now I'm probably happier than any other point of time in my life. I just came back from witnessing the greatest concert I've ever seen. Now, I've seen a couple GREAT concerts like Radiohead in 1997, Green Day and Velvet Revolver last year and Nine Inch Nails a couple months ago but Brian Wilson at the Orpheum theatre here in Boston takes the cake. For those of you not in the know, Brian Wilson is the voice/mind behind The Beach Boys. He wrote all the songs and sang the high parts back in their heydey.


My friend Alex and I went together and Matt went with his twin brother, Anthony. It was an excellent time. Brian Wilson played a long show, about 2 1/2 hours and for the 40th anniversary of Pet Sounds (my favorite album of all time), he and his band played the album in it's entirety live. Pet Sounds is an amazing album, it has won countless awards and Rolling Stone listed it as the second best album of all time (only behind Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) It was a once in a lifetime experience.

In addition to playing Pet Sounds, they played all the big Beach Boy hits like I Get Around, Good Vibrations, Surfer Girl, In My Room, Help Me Rhonda, Barbara Ann and well, you get the picture. They even played Sail on Sailor which is one of my favorites even though it's a lesser known Beach Boys song. Al Jardine (one of the original Beach Boys) was also there and he still has his amazing voice. The harmonies were amazing and washed over us like warm waves of pure love. :)

I ended up buying the sweetest t-shirt too and I think that I want to be buried in it. :D The music was awesome, the venue was awesome, the seats were REALLY awesome and my new t-shirt is completely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Anyways, take care you beautiful people and more updates to come! I'll be home in one month, four days!
