marlene Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hey everybody, Just wondering if there are other fans here who have never seen the Raspberries perform before. This will be my first time, and seeing so many great posts from those who were lucky enough to have seen the berries before has got me wondering, am I the only one ?

Dougjack Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 My 1st time, too! I saw them on Rock Concert the 1st time it aired, saw Eric on his 1st solo tour, saw The Secret (Dave & Wally) a couple of years after that, but that's as close as I ever got. I'm tryin' to stay calm, but.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Never seen them before. Saw Eric in 2000 with Ringo in Minnesota. After the 'berries, there will only be one of my musical idols left to see.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggiesjc Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Saw Eric with Ringo twice, and tried to see him with the Dirty Dancing tour (he was absent both times I went - I got my money back and skipped the shows), but this will be my first Raspberries concert!Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I saw Eric on the Dirty Dancing Tour and then again at the Hall Of Fame. I also was in Cleveland to see the Raspberries reunion without Eric. Whether there are more shows beyond this or not, don't you think that the chances have grown significantly that Eric will perform solo at the House Of Blues in the future.

mymooladi Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I have never seen the Raspberries either, however I was lucky enough to see Eric at the HOF show and with Ringo. This is going to be so cool. June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Marlene that would be Brian Wilson. I saw the Beach Boys in Montreal in 1975 and Brian was in the band, but he wasn't really there. If you know what I mean.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I've seen the Berries at the old Agora on E. 24th St. in Cleveland, and at JB's in Kent, Ohio back in the 70's...$3 cover charge back then!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sthom3521 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Marlene - I saw them in '74, Atlanta. Not a lot of folks at that one, so it was sort of a jam. But it was GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveh Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Marlene, I have never seen the berries. Once I did drive to see Eric in New York City once but when I got there, the sign said, "Cancelled"! This the chance of a lifetime for me.Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shaft Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I was still a little bit too young to see the Raspberries (or even Eric solo, for that matter) so this will be my chance to make up for lost time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betsey Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I first saw the Raspberries in May, 1974, and I have to admit I am as excited about this upcoming show as I was back then. 30 years makes no difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachberry Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Saw them in Cleveland in '70 or '71 at my high school dance, before Dave joined the band. Did perfect renditions of the Beatles, Badfinger, Left Banke, Bee Gees, and many others whom I can no longer remember. Slowly would introduce their own songs I was a junior in HS when they started playing songs off of what was to become their first LP. Saw them many times. One of my favorites was at the Utopia Night Club for their first concert with the new line-up w/ Scott and Mike in 74 or 75. But they were always the best at the Cleveland Agora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMan Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I remember, but not much about the Hullabaloo clubs. There was one in a shopping center in North Ridgeville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwannabebymyself Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I saw the Raspberries in 1974. Mike and Scott were in the band then. That was the first concert I'd ever been to..I was 13. That was the only time I saw the Raspberries. I've seen Eric in concert a few times in Akron and Cleveland. I also saw him with the Dirty Dancing Tour and with Ringo. I had front row seats for the Ringo show. The people I went with were excited because they were going to see Ringo...I was thrilled because I was going to get to see Eric again after so many years!!!

rem11036 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi all...I've been reading this board for years, thought I might actually write something for once...I got to see The Raspberries in Sept of '73, I believe, at Carnegie Hall...awesome concert of course...Then again in '74 at The Bottom Line, a little club in downtown NY, I think it held about 300 people maybe...saw Eric there a couple of years later also when his first solo album was released...Last time I saw the band was at another small, smokey bar/club in Long Island, NY...called My Fathers Place...Got to take many pictures at The Bottom Line show,Got Eric and Wally to look them over and sign the photo album months later...Wally complained that there were too many pictures of Eric Eric asked what's wrong with that?At both small clubs, the band was out among the audience, not sure if it was before they went on, or after...been awhile...Anyway, just a few words about the times I got to see them...Thanks to Bernie for all you do here.Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Robert,Consider yourself lucky! many of us have NEVER seen Raspberries in their prime, but we're all gonna make up for it come November 26!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Saw them Oct 1973 Providence RI. I was with Diane my girlfrind at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Engel Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I was lucky enough to see the "raspberries" when they were the Cyrus Erie, The Quick, Poe, Secret, Dynomite and of course as the RASPBERRIES. I've seen Eric as a solo also. Nothing beats seeing the guys at the Hullaballoo or the Agora back in the late '60's and early '70's. But, ,you know what???? Maybe this show in the '04's will beat them all !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 After reading the through these posts, I suspect I might be the only member who has seen The Mods. I was in eighth grade (?), and they played at the St. Mary's gymnasium in Mentor. I went to St. MaryÃs church, and I donÃt think I have to tell you that this was an all ages show. The band was wearing black pants, white shirts with black vests. Of course, at that age, it was all very exciting. They were ìjust like The Beatlesî.It was the line up of Wally, Dave, Jim, Danny Klawon, and Dave Burke. Dave BurkeÃs dad was my little league baseball coach, and his brother Tim was on my team. So it was not hard to keep up with news of the band. Just one other different ìconnectionî. As I have posted before, in the Mentor School system, middle school is seven through nine, and high school is ten through twelve. So although I was never under the same roof as Wally and Dave, I did attend Memorial Junior High with Marilyn Bryson. She was in ninth grade when I was in seventh, and sometimes I would sit next to her in a open study hall. She was very hip looking, very ìCherî looking with long, straight hair, dark eyeliner, mini skirts, and go-go boots. She told me I was cute, though I suspect she was just being kind to one of the nerds. She would occasionally pass me notes, and of course I thought I was King Youknowwhat. Very fond memories.
