QUOTE:Performing so many gigs indicates a real passion for performing?
Mike Love: This year we will probably do 150 to 160 shows. After Ireland we’re going to Finland and Denmark and then Sweden and then down to the Canary Islands and the Spanish Coast and back to Sweden and who knows from there.
What we like to do every night is prove we can recreate those songs like they’re meant to be sung, like the recordings.
We have an excellent musical director and lead guitarist to make sure every part is what it should be and we have got nothing but compliments recently on how fantastic the show sounds and [people saying] that the group has never sounded better.
To see how people respond so beautifully to your efforts and to see that reaction from all ages is really, really fantastic.
Obviously we get to travel to some pretty cool places and see the world and obviously we make a living doing it and those are two good things, but the special part of it is recreating those songs and doing the absolute best job that we can and seeing the audience join in and have a great time with us.
