"We and Capitol Records are considering hosting some local events to celebrate the release of "That Lucky Old Sun", and we need your feedback! As you know, Brian, his band and a select group of hand-picked classical musicians performed the full album live in the legendary Capitol Studios A and B a few weeks ago, and Capitol shot the whole performance in HD. We're thinking of giving you, the fans, the chance to see this special performance in a town near you, BEFORE the album comes out, and to meet and hang out with other fans of Brian. We see this as being like little pre-release parties in cities across America. Pretty cool, huh?"
"What we need to know from you is, if we brought the HD video concert to a movie theater near you (say, within 10-20 miles) would you come? Bringing this to theaters would be a logistically time-consuming and expensive process, so we want to gauge interest first, to determine if we will do it. We're envisioning a screening of the full performance of TLOS, plus a brief Q&A session with Brian, (live via satellite!) where he'll answer YOUR questions. The ticket price for the night would probably be in the $10-$15 range, and with proof of purchase of a ticket, you would also get to pre-order TLOS at a discount, via brianwilson.com"
"In addition to getting to be the first to see this intimate performance from Capitol's legendary Studios, we think these events could be a great chance for fans to meet up coast-to-coast. Maybe you could take your kids to the show, have a night out with friends and neighbors, turn one of your co-workers with bad musical taste on to some great music...the possibilities are endless!"
