Tonight kicks off a 24-hour stretch of shows that are a concert goer's dream. Trust us, you will not be able to do all of it. Good luck getting tickets to see Brian Wilson bring Pet Sounds to life tonight. If you can't score tickets to that, then there are a few other options and at least two of them are free. Check it out below.

Yeezy Taught Me (Kanye Tribute) On the eve of Kanye West's appearance in Tampa, the bar that brings you Emo Night every month is doing a special evening dedicated to the "genius & ego" of one Mr. West. Bonus points are being doled out to anyone dressed as their favorite Yeezy. (First Chance Last Chance, Ybor City) INFO

Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds (SOLD OUT) In our interview with the Beach Boy, CL is thrown off by how much Brian Wilson still loves all the songs on Pet Sounds, even half a decade after its release. Read an excerpt from that interview below and see the whole thing here. (Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO

When asked whether he feels inspired to write new material these days, all that Wilson can talk about is playing Pet Sounds with his band, which includes Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine. Guitarist Blondie Chaplin, who appeared on two LPs — 1972’s Carl and the Passions “So Tough”and ’73’s Holland, as well as Wilson’s 2015 album No Pier Pressure — is also on this tour. “It brings out the memories of when we made the album,” he says. He sounds pleased about that, and it’s a testament to how much happier Pet Sounds made Wilson, who once admitted that he was “scared of Smile” because he “thought it was gonna bring back feelings” of failure and not being good enough.
