Turn that frown upside down
Reported by ben
Nearly four decades ago, Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys scrapped a great deal of the material destined to be on Smile, the ambitious follow-up to Pet Sounds. While many of the songs later appeared in various forms on other Beach Boys albums, Smile was never released. However, Brian Wilson has announced that in February and March of 2004, he will perform the entire Smile album from start to finish at 10 special UK shows (with some additional songs tacked on at the end so you don't feel ripped off when the set ends early). I'm sure we'll let you know should there be any further dates announced, especially if they're in North America.
