Al Jardine to Perform Beach Boys Love You in Full for First Time at Special Los Angeles Show
Fans of the iconic Beach Boys album "The Beach Boys Love You" will finally get their wish on February 27 when Al Jardine and his band, the Pet Sounds Band, take the stage at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles. The special show will feature the world premiere of the album in full, playing all nine tracks from the 1977 release, including the fan-favorite songs "Mona," "Let's Put Our Hearts Together," and "Love Is a Woman."
This is the first time that Al Jardine has performed the entire album live, with fans eagerly anticipating this moment after years of watching the band play individual tracks from the record. As part of his tour with the Pet Sounds Band, which kicked off on February 21 in Stateline, Nevada, and will continue through June with stops in Australia, this Los Angeles show promises to be a unique experience.
According to Jardine, he had little creative input in creating the album, with Brian Wilson guiding the process. However, he was able to bring his own voice to certain tracks, including "Honkin' Down the Highway." The band's tour has been well-received so far, with fans praising their energetic performances and authentic recreation of Beach Boys hits.
The show is co-produced by Alex Jules, a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter who has worked with notable artists such as Denny Laine and Joey Molland. Last year, he organized the L.A. wildfire relief concert titled "Let's Get L.Aid," which featured performances from "Weird Al" Yankovic, Eric Idle, and Nancy Sinatra.
This special Los Angeles show aligns perfectly with the release of the box set "We Gotta Groove: The Brother Studio Years," which provides an in-depth look at the period surrounding "The Beach Boys Love You." Fans can expect a night filled with the album's world premiere, along with selections from other notable Beach Boys releases.

. I've been waiting for ages to hear all those tracks together, it's gonna be epic! The fact that Brian Wilson had a big influence on the album is pretty cool too, I mean who wouldn't want to work with the genius behind Pet Sounds? 
. I've always loved that album and it's amazing that the whole thing will be played in one show - Mona, Let's Put Our Hearts Together, Love Is a Woman... my fave! 
. Can't wait to see how they recreate those iconic sounds with the Pet Sounds Band 
. It's gonna be a really special night and I'm sure fans are going crazy trying to score tix 
. The idea that Alex Jules is co-producing it too is awesome - what a cool way to bring attention to LA artists like him 
!
can u even imagine hearing these tracks performed live with all the harmonies and instruments? its gonna be a dream come true for any beach boys fan out there! the fact that its part of his tour with pet sounds band makes me even more hyped 
. I mean, can you even imagine hearing those songs live with a full band? It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! I'm so hyped that Al Jardine is gonna share his voice on tracks like "Honkin' Down the Highway" again and I know fans are gonna lose their minds when he performs all nine tracks in one night 
i love how the pet sounds band is recreating the original sound it's gonna be such an amazing experience for everyone there 
. This feels like a great exercise in the power of compromise - I mean, when Al Jardine was working on that album back in 1977, he didn't have as much creative control, but now we get to see him shine with his own voice. On the other hand, if we think about this as an economic stimulus package for Los Angeles, it's a win-win. The Pet Sounds Band is bringing in revenue and creating jobs - that's just good old-fashioned civic engagement 
. What I'd really like to know, though, is how much of the ticket sales will go towards supporting local music initiatives? If we're talking about a fair deal for artists and community development, then this show could be a real game-changer 
. Honestly though, I think the world premiere thing is a bit overhyped. I mean, we've been waiting years to hear all these tracks together? It's like watching a movie marathon, you know? Still stoked tho! The fact that Al Jardine is putting his own spin on some of those songs makes me excited. And with the Pet Sounds Band backing him up, it should be a solid show 
.
. that's awesome, i mean its been years since fans got to hear the whole thing in one go. gotta be a thrill for them. also cool that he's performing with his band, the Pet Sounds Band, they seem to be doing a great job of keeping the Beach Boys spirit alive 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good Beach Boys jam? 
.
here's my quick ASCII art:
I'm so hyped for this show! Al Jardine performing "Love You" in full is like a dream come true for any Beach Boys fan! The fact that it's happening live at the United Theater on Broadway in LA makes it even more special 
. And can you believe he's doing this with the Pet Sounds Band? That's just pure nostalgia right there
