kazumi Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 So Did Eric go to see Bruce's concert at Blossom Amphitheatre yesterday? Thank you Eric and Bernie for sharing the great photo. Kazumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 C'mon Eric...we need the story behind the photo. Did you guys talk shop at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 I'm sure Eric has some of his own stories to tell about last night, but until then, here's what I know. The photo was taken last night at the Blossom Center in Cleveland. Bruce was very gracious and friendly, speaking privately with Eric in his dressing room for 10 minutes or so before he went on stage. Bruce talked about how much he liked the band and of how glad he was that Eric came out to see him. Bruce also said to let him know the next time Raspberries play a gig so that he can try to make it!Bernie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY TUNES Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks Bernie for the great shot and info. For a "Jersey Boy" like myself who loves Eric/The Raspberries this photo is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Krider Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I suspect Eric has an amazing photo album at home (Raspberries, Ringo, David Cassidy, Steve Tyler, Bruce Springsteen... the wife, the kids...).Thanks for sharing the shot Bernie. Nice Father's Day present for Eric.Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Carmen Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 When I got to Blossom I went backstage and Dave Marsh (rock critic extraordinaire) was backstage. We talked for quite a while about all sorts of things from living in the midwest (Dave's originally from the Detroit area) to touring and Ringo Starr's All Star Band. We grabbed a bite to eat while Bruce's son played video games behind us, and then Dave came down to say Bruce was ready. We went to his dressing room and I thanked him for all the "shout outs" onstage last summer. Bruce was very warm and gracious and seemed genuinely interested in the Raspberries reunion. He said to notify him if we're ever playing in his area so he could come out and see the band. He looked great and the new band was terrific. Very cool show! ec 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor4Life Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Super pic!How was the crowd capacity? I read in the paper for the Chicago show there were MANY empty seats, which is a shame since this is Bruce's most adventerous album IMO.

Early Wynn Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks Eric. Two of my very favorites in one photo....who can ask for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 That's a keeper. The only thing better would have been an invitation from Bruce for Eric to sit in on keyboards for "Thunder Road" ("Raspberries singin' for the horny/Hey that's me and I want you only/Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again..."). Or for Bruce to sign up Raspberries to open for a few dates.Seriously, what a great fan to have.... Geeat stuff, Bernie and Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 What a great night at the Blossom Music Center! Fantastic picture! Raspberries will do more gigs. How can anyone refuse playing "in Bruce's area" (which happens to be not far from Bernie's area--and mine!) --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Was there any mention of Raspberries opening for The Boss in a limited number of tour dates during that 10 minutes, lke LC said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywine Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 What a show that would be Cartmill. That would be too cool.Ofcourse AD HOC Band/ Bill O'Reilly would also be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Both of the guys did take a good pose there. It would look good on an album cover: "The Springsteen/Carmen Project" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
