Catnip Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think it will be interesting to hear the questions that a 20something year old will have for Eric. This is a new generation of Raspberries and Eric Carmen fans. I love that you can listen online from anywhere in the world. Don't forget, it is today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catnip Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The show starts at 3. The interview is at 4. He will also be playing re-mastered songs from The Essential Eric Carmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Joe did a great in-depth interview. Eric's usual flair for story-telling was informative and filled in some gaps about the timing of group formation. Geez, no wonder The Quick didn't make it for long. Those 4 boys were super hot as performers, but anything resembling Spooky Tooth must have been a bust musically. Very upbeat and enjoyable listening experience for this captured and enraptured audience member. M.E. p.s. Eric, Wanted you to know hearing you on the radio again...it sounded really good on you!! xo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy-Ann Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks Bernie for your post. I decided to tune in; in hopes to finally hear my favorite song in its entire new splendor. However, by the time I remembered, it was (almost) too late and with the time difference I got a bit confused. But...as fate would have it, I tuned in just before the DJ signed off, and lo and behold, as I was about to X out of the program, I heard... â€I can’t sleep nights...†and, I...just...listened... Perfection...thy name is “Let’s Pretend.†5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpokotilenko Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 It was delicious and exciting to hear Eric online for 88 minutes ! Wendy-Ann, Don’ t worry. I made the record for those who wasn’t able to listen to the live radio stream. Will post it very soon (uploading ). If there will be copyright problems I will not do it of course. I also have AAC file (much better quality) but it’s impossible to upload it to YouTube. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I finally found an hour in my day to listen to this- vintage Eric in the interview- great stories! Thanks Larissa for posting this! Possible tour... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll82 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Kirk, it took me three hours to listen to (at work, with interruptions), and when it got to that part, my daughter decided to call me. And talk. And talk. AND TALK. The whole time, I'm thinking, "Honey, I love you more than life itself, but your timing stinks." My other favorite parts: Discussion about "Get the Message" and how it chosen as the B side for "Sparrow": "Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great! That sucks!" And the part about Clapton was a surprise. Not sure why, but it was. Cheryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Even thought I've heard most of Eric's stories before, he always brings something new to the discussion. Amazing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll82 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Of course. I tend to forget that *I'M* the newbie and y'all are veterans. But hey, I noticed I graduated from "junior member" to "member." Yay, me! It's the little things, Cheryl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for posting. Finally had the chance to listen to it in one sitting. Wish Eric had a weekly talk-radio program in which he could express his views. Maybe even a syndicated radio show where he could comment and be a DJ (like Alice Cooper does). Great insight from Eric. Really had to agree with his opinion on Clapton- virtuoso indeed, however, lacking a degree of "feel". Would rather hear the solo to "Something" or "Maybe I'm Amazed". Pure feel! Same with Jeff Beck, incredible guitarist but after 5 songs, I'd be like, "OK, let's have a melody, bridge, harmonies, great vocals, etc..." Great interview & thanks again for posting it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
