gordharris Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 A Reunion T-Shirt would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobsterLvr Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 If it hasn't been mentioned already, I think a block of tickets should be set aside for loyal fans (ie. book buyers). Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Great idea Dave! And by the way Marlene, there is a song "Marlena" by the Bay City Rollers.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanTylerVO Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 As far as the talents of Jim Bonfanti and Mike McBride go, I saw them both play a few times, and bottom line is , they are both very talented and unique in their styles. The major memory that comes to mind in the difference was that Mcbrideplayed with a style that could only be desecribed as "BIG, LOUD AND INTENSE"...THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA BEAT THE DRUMS LITERALLY OFF THE STAGE, ALOT of power there.But let me say this also, at the ODEON show, until JIM, Wally and Dave finally were on stage singing and playing did you truly realize the 'CHEMISTRY" in style and sound that was all their own, it was what made them special, period. Add Eric to the mix, and for those of us who saw it live, It was unlike anything I have heard, then or now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Right on Dean. Michael was a POWERFUL drummer and a treat to watch. Jim is a great drummer too just not as flashy as Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Dean, Your comments cut right to the chase! Mike and Jim are great drummers--albeit each has his own unique style. The word "chemistry" is really the perfect one to describe the original four together. It was unlike anything I ever saw and heard before. Whenever they were remotely anywhere near my area, I would go. It was like a magnet drew me to their performances. You are so lucky to have been able to hear them live!!!! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Dave, I agree, and how about front row seats for the book buyers? And let us videotape the show. I don't ask for much.Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I love the idea of somehow getting a block of tickets so we could all be together for such an amazing time. WOW...this is such a wonderful group to be a part of. All we need now is a date, place and time.....and of course, those raspberry shirts.

marlene Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Marvin....I hate to admit it, cause I liked the song..was it "Saturday....something" by the Bay City Rollers ?? But I've never heard any of their other stuff..Maybe I'll go to recycled records and try to find it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'm looking into whether we can get a PASSWORD pre-sale for visitors of Jim's, Dave's, Wally's and Eric's web sites. That way the boys can be sure that the loudest, most enthusiastic fans will be there in forceÖ namely US!Bernie (Always thinkingÖALWAYS thinking :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordharris Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Bernie, A password pre-sale, does that mean, discounts on tickets for us guys only, the regulars?To see The Raspberries In Concert, Are they dropping by Canada, Yes Or No?

marvin Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Marlene, I believe the Rollers song that you are referring to is "Saturday Night" but they also have a song called "Marlena." The Bay City Rollers' biggest fan visits this site: Bahoo (Andy). Check out the Rollers' albums and especially "Elevator." Some great Pop music.

Raspbernie Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Usually a pre-sale means NO DISCOUNTS, but FIRST CHANCE to buy tickets :-)Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 The Bay City Rollers ARE another one of those groups you feel almost ashamed to say that you like. I'm not sure how talented they were, but they did record catchy pop tunes. "The Way I Feel Tonight" was a ballad that I liked pretty much.

Craig Benfer Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Ted, I can't say that I have heard of Kyf Brewer. Of course now that you asked, I did a search on him. Is he from this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannoman Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Craig,He is in New Holland, PA. He used to be a driving force in a Baltimore band, The Ravyns. Great live band that played melodic power-pop back in the 80s. Their 15 minutes of fame was a song called "Raised On The Radio" from the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Some of their stuff had direct simiarity to the Raspberries.When The Ravyns split (amicably I might add) Kyf formed "Company of Wolves" which was an awesome group. They had limited success but their talent was incomparable. If you would like I could forward a few MP3s.Kyf is a very funny guy and in addition to his rock roots has a strange penchant for Scottish music. He even did a CD of bloody awful Scottish drinking songs. I don't know what in the h**l he was thinking (or drinking).Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Marlene, I think the Bay City Roller song is titled" S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night", it starts off like a cheerleader song^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregkevinw Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 would'nt it be amazing if, the reunion sparked the band to release a new cd????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
