Hi, I sent this yesterday but it never appeared; so am resending.
I’ve been meaning to post this for months.
Verlaine/Television covereds Brian Wilson’s “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” in a concert/show in Toronto t in 2019 as an encore.

Keith and I have previously discussed several times off-list how sometimes https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/television-7bd6ae1c.html and the fans who report to this website about shows’ set-list get it quite wrong about which song titles were actually performed at the show(s) they attended.
E.g., https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/television/2019/the-phoenix-concert-theatre-toronto-on-canada-5b90f7c0.html has “Ain’t That Nothin’ ‘ being performed live at Mr. Small’s Theater in Millvale, PA on May 2, 2019.)
However, my intuition about “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” is that Verlaine was in an atypical , rare, good mood, and really included the Brian Wilson song as an encore.

PS: But I’d reckon the probability that Tom, Rip, Fred, and Billy played “Ain’t That Nothin’ “ in PA in May 2019 at: 0.027 : > )
