‘Good vibrations’ all<br />
around at Ravinia<br />
Temptations,<br />
Beach Boys delight<br />
audience with<br />
classics<br />
Courtney Jacquin, Editor<br />
The wind and rain<br />
seemed ready to take over,<br />
but a little mother nature<br />
couldn’t stop the delightful<br />
sounds of The Temptations<br />
and The Beach Boys<br />
Sunday, July 2, at Ravinia.<br />
The Temptations started<br />
the show, pleasing the<br />
crowd with classics such<br />
as “Ain’t Too Proud to<br />
Beg,” “Papa was a Rollin’<br />
Stone” and, of course,<br />
“My Girl.” The current<br />
touring lineup of the group<br />
includes remaining original<br />
member Otis Williams<br />
with Terry Weeks, Larry<br />
Braggs, Willie Green and<br />
Ron Tyson.<br />
The Beach Boys took<br />
the stage second, with videos<br />
of surfing and California<br />
scenes fittingly serving<br />
as a backdrop for the band<br />
that popularized surf music<br />
50 years ago.<br />
The band performed<br />
“Surfin’ USA,” “Wouldn’t<br />
it be Nice,” “Fun, Fun, Fun”<br />
and many more classics.<br />
The lineup featured<br />
Mike Love, Bruce Johnston,<br />
Scott Totten, Jeffrey<br />
Foskett, Brian Eichenberger,<br />
Tim Bonhomme and<br />
John Cowsill.<br />
Both groups played to a<br />
sold out crowd.<br />
