LC Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Apologies if someone has already posted this here --- I haven't seen it, though on its YouTube page, our good friend Maggie Clarke comments on it. Anyway, it's a 1972 "Hits a Go Go" performance where Dave takes the lead on his underrated "Goin' Nowhere Tonight" followed by Eric's "I Wanna Be With You." (Both songs are lip-syncs.) Actually, I've never seen this video anywhere before, though it wouldn't surprise me if Bernie's got it somewhere on EC.com that I've overlooked. I did find a 2005 thread where Bernie mentioned it: "It's from a German TV show called "Hits-A-Go-Go." The band performed on that show when they traveled to Europe in '73. That video appearance (along with scores of others) are cataloged in the extensive appendix of ERIC CARMEN: MARATHON MAN." As Maggie points out in her comment, the video quality is excellent for the era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've had it for a while but based on how I acquired it was prevented from sharing. Although, I may have played it at "Weekend At Bernie's" swearing the attendees to secrecy! No doubt, that's where you first saw it, Larry.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMaul Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Kirk posted it a couple of weeks ago, but I had not seen it before then, and it is excellent quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I put this up, somebody thought they remembered seeing it on the pre-concert dvd for the Raspberries reunion concerts. Wish I could verify that, but the dvd was 'eaten' at the L.A. show...

Raspbernie Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It was. When Ken and I created the pre-concert videos, the band licensed this footage as well as some other rare video for that use. When they decided to include the pre-concert video in the DVD package, some of the clips were too costly to use, so we replaced them with other footage. That's why some of the clips you saw at Raspberries shows were not on the pre-concert video included in the DVD package.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulfreak Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I give it a 10. Wally is all over the 12 string side of that double SG. Less than the sunset strip video. The only other person I know of that could carry and play a double most of the night was John McGlaughin and I watched him do it. I do not remember the Raspberries ever coming to this area although I am sure they did.Man I got guitar fever. The Rick and the double SG I want em both for the big 55 next year. Any guitarists out there that can give me a hand here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulfreak Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Alright let's wake up dudes. Got Mott on now. Dig Ian Hunter. Great sound. Roxy was big back in the Raspy days. 70-74 So many great bands. The age of the supergroups. Real musicians who could play. Not ripping of the public to see them.Vinal was king. Album cover's were studied as you listened to the album for the first time. People just listened. Grooved!! Listen to how tight;the dynamics the Rasp's have. Sam Andrew's;Barnie's Beanery??Anyone?? The Beatles were gone but not forgotten. Something about Ohio? Chrissy Hines,Ben Orr,Rick Ocasek,Tracy Chapman,The O'Jays.The Raspberries!! If they ever get back together they had better do Boston. Trust me we are waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulfreak Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Pete Towsend ranted today about the "bloodsuckers on the net" Not doing anything at all to promote nor support artists and the industry. Just lining thier pockets with every download. Right on Pete! As a guitarist (and not the greatest) I learned by buying the album,hopefully the chord book and figuring it out. I'm pretty sure this is how the Raspberries did it also. We had no tuners back then. Just needed a 440A. Eric talks about that night in Febuary of 1964 that changed everything. Thank god for older sisters for that night changed mine. LONG LIVE ROCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
