Raspbernie

Eric also played it on his solo Rock Hall show. And a bunch of times on the Ringo All-Starr Tour. Bernie

Not bad. Bernie

Great! And love the old photo, too. Bernie

Kirk, I used Jim’s original reel-to-reel master tape (along with his home movies and memorabilia) for the “Live on Sunset Strip” bonus video. Bernie

When I made that CD box set of covers of Eric's songs sung by other performers for him as a birthday present years ago, I included every cover that I could find—most on vinyl or cassette tapes. Now, with the internet (and so many home recording artists) that set would be 200 CDs! Bernie

Would love to have seen that! Bernie

Armed Forces Radio Network. Bernie

I was really looking forward to that event. No clue what happened. Bernie

Very unique. Very emotional. Bernie

Wish I could get my hands on the rest of that video. I wrote to the original poster but never got a reply. Bernie

Not bad. Don't think I've ever heard this one before! Bernie

Brian Moore, A lifetime as a casual keyboardist and classic rock aficionado. In the mid-70’s, folk-rock trio America (“Horse With No Name”, “Ventura Highway”, “Sister Golden Hair”, etc.) were near the peak of their popularity, and I decided to get tickets to their show at Detroit’s Masonic Auditorium. When I got the tickets, they indicated that there was an opening act - Eric Carmen, who had recently released his debut album and had a fairly big hit with the ballad “All By Myself”. Not knowing any of his other music, I figured I could suffer through his 45-minute set in order to see the main act. Little did I know that prior to going solo, Eric was in a power-pop band called The Raspberries, who had had a few minor hits in the early 70’s. We showed up expecting a “snoozer” of an opening act, but when Eric came out, the majority of his material was rockier music from his Raspberries days. Songs like “Go All The Way” and “I Wanna Be With You” completely surprised the crowd, who were expecting a soft-rock balladeer. Eric ended up doing multiple encores, which was unheard of for an opening act. When America came out for their part of the show, they were almost booed off the stage by fans in the crowd, begging for Eric to return for another encore. _ _ _ _ Let me save you from scrolling.

Go, Eric! Bernie

Compare the bass parts in GATW with that of IWBWY. Eric is really adding some pretty interesting stuff on GATW. Bernie

Show off. Bernie PS: Actually, really amazing!

Haha. Bernie

This is ALL great news! Bernie

Matt is correct, it's from "The American Music Awards," which aired on January 25, 1988. Bernie

If I had a dog. It would have been howling! Bernie

He’s playing the easy part! Wally does the intro and then all of those rather amazing lead riffs that play through the verses! Bernie
