Raspbernie Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Margo, Everything you ever wanted to know about who played with Eric at various points in his career is already online at EC.com, ”you just need to search for it. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Bernie... that list is pretty comprehensive, but does actually mean those were the guys who appeared on assorted television appearances as well? I don't see a "television appearance" secion to your otherwise totally thourough list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bernie, I tried your SEARCH thing to get the gate code for Eric's draw-bridge over the moat on his estate... Not there Bro'...not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The members of Magic backed Eric on that appearance (having been renamed The Eric Carmen Band) and one of the two drummers (the impressive blonde-haired lad) is Michael McBride, who played on the Raspberries "Starting Over" album (who also backed Eric in the bands Cyrus Erie and The Quick). McBride was a neat addition to the guys in Magic, who all played on Eric's first Arista solo album in 1975 (at the time, I considered it *almost* a Raspberries album since half the band was on it).
