50 tracks live concert/cd idea (alt version) update

It's a mixture of about 30 hits and 20 more obscure (but GREAT) tunes.
Largely chronological backwards, but not 100%. You have to start with California Girls!
One is instrumental and one is acapella. I believe 50 tunes is great for a double cd, but about 40 is much better for a concert.
Only nrs 2 and 5 are Brian solo records, nr 3 and nrs 23-28 are SMiLE tracks that would sound very interesting with a vocal blend of the surviving Beach Boys members. (Wonderful, Heroes, Good Vibes and even Surf's Up have been performed before by the Beach Boys)
There are a few omissions (such as Barb/I Get Around/ WIBN), but this is my fantasy list.
