Brian Wilson delivers Beach Boys hits at Meijer Gardens with big boost from polished band

July 29, 2011 -> mlive.com
The Beach Boys' Mike Love revealed on Billboard.com this week that plans are afoot for a full-fledged Beach Boys reunion on a new album to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary.

Of course, group mastermind Brian Wilson never mentioned that possibility in a recent Press interview, so it's anybody's guess whether these iconic artists can actually patch things up and work together again on new Beach Boys material.

Anyway, if Wilson's performance Friday night at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is any indication, the enigmatic singer has grown plenty comfortable flying solo and unfurling Beach Boys classics without his former bandmates.
