When was the last time they anywhere near RI ? Got a link for quite often?
I told you - they were in Newport in July and have played PPAC, Twin Rivers and the Park Theater over the past two years.

Mike Love is lucky he had a cousin who wrote great songs and let Mike sing with his band. Mike should have respected that more instead of trying to wring every last penny out of the group.

There was a Beach Boy who played at the Park Theatre a little while back.
Looking at their schedule of shows coming up I see some talented acts.
Al Jarreau is a pretty big name. I saw Robert Cray open up for Clapton
(with Phil Collins on drums) at the Civic Center a long time ago.

Look, I'm the Op and I introduced Sinatra and Bennett into the convo. Must you guyz devolve in the utterly inconsequential so-called "Beach Boyz?" Jimminy jay, have you no class, no class at all? Don't mean to be rude, but Jesus on a popsicle stick, let's show some sophistication, m'kay?

Introduce Sinatra all you want.......big fan here

Growing up Irish Catholic in New England there was thing you could count on when visiting relatives..................a picture of John Kennedy on the wall and a ceramic bust of him also.

The Kennedys were royalty in this area................John had quite a bit of interesting history with Sinatra and the boys in the very early sixties...........lots of embellished story's to go along with their friendship.

Great read -- thank you.

Perhaps a decade ago the New Yorker had a really long article about Mr. Sinatra. Sent it to my brother and he refused to read it, saying that he was certain it would defame Mr. Sinatra. It really didn't, but I understood his concern. Italian = Mafia at that age. I don't know, I just think he was so gifted. Great actor (Manchurian Candidate), and you know, I don't really mind a little corruption, a little mob ties so long as the trains run on time. I'm proud of my heritage, and while I like beebop and scat singing, no one equals Sinatra. There was Sinatra, and everyone else fell behind.

BTW, in the New Yorker article it was stated that Sinatra built a house for JFK as a West Coast White House. JFK distanced himself from Sinatra and Frankie had the house bulldozed. Being Italian, I can fully relate.

I couldn't find a PPAC date, but Brian Wilson played Lupo's in 2009.

I saw so many shows at the Tent in the 1990s that I should have been getting mail there. Just a fraction of who I remember seeing - Ray Charles, Dion, Lou Christie, The Righteous Brothers, Chicago, Jay Black, Frankie Valli, Roberta Flack, Ringo Starr & his All-Starr Band (Randy Bachmann, Mark Farner, Joey Molland). That's all I can think of. I went to the premiere of the Tent documentary at the Stadium Theatre and ended up hanging out with Larry Bonoff at Chan's afterward.

I hope you change your mind. Besides your posts being insightful and entertaining, you know that the trolling will be in full force whenever a new member asks a legitimate question. You don't want that to be the only response.

Somehow I never made a show at the tent. The only time I went there was for my high school graduation. But I can tell you that whenever Liberace was in town, he would drop by the Sears at the Midland Mall, unlikely as that seems!

My high school graduation was at Meehan Auditorium.
I used to play hockey there also. The locker rooms
were like subterranean caves.
