Hello everyone,
Like a few others I guess, I've been an occasional lurker on this great forum. My first name is Philippe, and I've been a longtime Beatles/Beach Boys fanatic for more than 30 years now. Many years ago, I was a subscriber to Beach Boys Stomp and a now deceased gentleman from Yorkshire had done a lot at the time to make me discover that there were much more to the Beach Boys than their officially released output. I was so glad that I saw the band with Carl in 1987, and I have seen Brian as well as the Mike/Bruce BB's quite a few times since then. But the premiere of "BW Presents SMiLE" in London in 2004 has remained a highlights of all the concerts I have seen so far.
I have not been active much either on other specific BB forums, although I contribute now and then to the occasional topic on the Steve Hoffman forum.
Incidentally, I was one of the first fans, maybe the first one, who got my hands on the now common footage of the BBs in Paris in 1964, 1967 and 1970 when I raided the INA TV archive, back in 2005.
I didn't know about this forum until recently, when I was looking for info about the BB's late 1970 European tour. A couple of years ago I met a lady who had attended the BB's Brussels concert in December 1970, and she showed me some lovely pictures she had done not only at that concert, but also in a couple of cafés where she went with a band after the show, and I am trying hard to have her accepting to share those unique pictures here!
Definitely crossing fingers for the "Feel Flows" box set announcement anytime soon!
