This is more ridiculous stuff from people who don't get Brian because they think the superficial stuff is more important than the music.
Brian was amazingly engaged when I saw him last July in Denver. The show was perfect in every way.
Brian was also having fun in the UK when I saw him there last May at several shows.
I saw him in Kansas City in July after an exhausting, difficult phase of the tour. The weather was killing people, but he performed. He was excellent in his performance and less smiley-talkie. So what? Is that what's important? The music worked spectacularly. That's what he's there for. He's the ultimate producer to this day. When he gets quiet while listening to Blondie, do you seriously not get that it's the man/producer enjoying and critiquing what's going on? If Brian didn't like Blondie's contribution, he wouldn't be on this tour, and Blondie is well-aware of that. He's not stupid, nor is Brian.
Stop trying to make Brian the elderly invalid just because he doesn't "auto-tune" his concerts. He goes for what's real every night, in every situation. That's the reason he was born an artist and will remain an artist into the future.
What BS.

Well said.
I saw him the following night in St. Charles and it was a moving night of music. Just as Brian presenting Pet Sounds should be.
Yes. Apparently, simply buying tickets doesn't mean that a person "gets it." Oh well, keep buying the tickets and Brian will continue touring as long as he feels like it. If you like complaining about pretty da*n near anything, as so many fans seem to do, go ahead. You'll still get to see him as long as you fill the seats and he wants to tour. Lucky you.
I notice a certain group of posters here is avoiding my "auto-tune" joke and observation. What a surprise.
