paperdoll82 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I was looking for something last night on YouTube (I don't remember what), and I fell into the coolest rabbit hole! Inside were all these nifty EC tunes that I've never seen pop up on a cursory search of "Eric Carmen" or "Raspberries." Among them were The Quick's "Ain't Nothin' Gonna Stop Me" and "Southern Comfort." That led me to wonder: Is there a photo of The Quick out there? I searched on EC.com and couldn't find anything. Googling "The Quick" brings up a few Eric photos and another band called The Quick. So I tried "The Quick Eric Carmen." Got LOTS of Eric photos, plenty of Raspberries pics, a shot of The Cyrus Erie here and there — and Wendy's and James' photos they use here on the forum. But no The Quick. I know they were a band for about five minutes, but did anyone happen to snap a picture during that time? I'd love to see it.

Mary Ellen Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Cheryl, There is a very yummy pic of E and his band mates which my friend Don Ladanyi sent to me. I posted it in the gallery here so check it out. (-; M.E. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ellen Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Okay, here is a bit of fun nostalgia for Eric and Cyrus Erie... This is an ad for CE's appearance at The Electric Circus in NY. The print at the bottom is super small on the upload so here's the rundown: The Electric Circus — NYC, East Village: 1969 6/12/69 issue. "Suddenly, you're dancing. (Fast!)...(The magic's in the music.) Appearing thru June 15, Far Cry. June 17-22, Cyrus Erie. Come. (Stoned)." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Whoa! Cyrus Eric played a live show in New York City?!? That's never been reported. We'll need Eric to confirm that one. The band visited New York several times in 1969 to record for Epic, but I've never heard that the band played any shows. Really amazing, if true!

Raspbernie Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I found two listings for Cyrus Erie at Electric Circus in NYC: May 13-18, 1969 and June 17-22, 1969. I have an email out to Eric for confirmation. Stand by. Bernie 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well, not new information after all Even though the booking says "Cyrus Erie," by May 1969, that group had disbanded and Eric formed The Quick. Eric confirms that The Quick played Electric Circus NOT Cyrus Erie. I can imagine the mistake first time around, but when they returned? Seems weird to get the band's name wrong even AFTER they played. So there you have it. Would have been cool to think Cyrus Erie played gigs in New York City, but they only came to record their single. Bernie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Those people were always high Bernie...seeing double too...so name confusion seems right. Thanks B. (-; I knew E was in NYC playing but thanks guys for the band name clarification. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ellen Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Brian, Don's brother Albert was a roadie with The Quick. Know Randy Klawon is on guitar in this pic, but not sure who Pete is. M.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
