Mike Love and Bruce Johnston peeled off their masks as they strolled onto the Pinewood Bowl stage Sunday evening, waving to the 2,000 people scattered throughout the Pioneers Park amphitheater.
"We've got a show going on," Love said as he picked up the microphone and the Beach Boys kicked into "Do It Again."
Thirty-six songs and two hourlong sets later, the touring version of the iconic '60s rock 'n' roll band wrapped up the first in-person concert in Lincoln since March and one of the first anywhere since the coronavirus shut down entertainment nearly four months ago.
"We're a little nervous," Love said after a fast-paced "Surfin' Safari." "You're only the second audience we've played for since March. At least somebody in Nebraska has the good sense to allow a concert."
. . .
Masks were required and worn by the audience, staff and even the drummer and, notably, lines coming into the venue were well-spaced, fast-moving and didn't bottle up during the 30 minutes before the show.
