Setlist: Beach Boys @ Chicago Theater, 5/21/12

Rock music exists in a land where senior citizens can still be called boys, and the Beach Boys brought their nostalgia-laden show to Chicago Theater last night, complete with a 10 piece backing band.  Their two sets were a mix of the big radio hits, tracks from their most critically acclaimed albums and some covers of contemporaries (California Dreamin', Rock and Roll Music, Do You Wanna Dance) and influences (Lead Belly's Cottonfields).
