The Beach Boys Play the Palace; Doors Open Pittsburgh Gives Pittsburgh a Peek (Sun., 10/2/16)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svkC3LJMFcs

1) Mike Love, a founding member and singer/songwriter for the quintessential American pop-rock band—The Beach Boys—brings his version of that band to Greensburg’s Palace Theatre for a concert. Love reunited a couple of years back with Brian Wilson and other surviving original members for a tour and album, and he performs tonight with his band under the Beach Boy’s banner. The Beach Boys created many top hits, including, “Surfin’ USA” (which Wilson wrote lyrics for and was heavily influenced by Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen.” After some wrangling Berry received a co-writing credit), “California Girls,” and “I Get Around.” Love has also written in a different media, his memoir Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy is a New York Times Bestseller. 3 p.m. 21 W. Otterman St.

2) Wouldn’t it be cool to get a look inside interesting—normally off limits—places like Mayor Peduto’s office, the Harvard Yale Princeton Club, the River’s Club, BNY Mellon executive floors, the Arrott building, the Engineers’ Society of Western Pennyslvania and many more. That’s the idea behind Doors Open Pittsburgh. For all the doors that will be open and more info visit their website. This weekend it’s OK to be nebby and it’s free!

3) The Steelers, who are coming off a big loss against the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday, line up this week against AFC West’s Kansas City Chiefs. Hopefully the Steelers can get back on the winning track. Go Steelers! 8:30 p.m. 100 Art Rooney Ave., North Shore.
