Raspbernie Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 RASPBERRIES— GO ALL THE WAY (LIVE) Recorded LIVE at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio 10 years ago today—on November 26, 2004. With special thanks to Tommy Allen! Who accepted my challenge when I asked if he would be interested in mixing some songs from Raspberries first reunion show in preparation for this 10th Anniversary celebration! He not only agreed, but threw his heart, mind and soul into the project. This was all done, mind you, in complete secrecy and without any involvement whatsoever from members of the band. Eric, Wally, Dave and Jim... surprise! Just a little treat for everyone who was there and who wished they could be. Thanks, Tommy! You did the boys proud! Ummm... Turn this sucker up. Wow!!!

blackhawkpat Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks to both Bernie and Tommy for sharing this amazing clip from an amazing night. What a night this was, putting faces to names I had corresponded with on a daily basis and of course, the incredible music we had waited so long to hear live. I still feel that when the drums fired up for "I Wanna Be With You" it was one of the most surreal moments of my life, just seeing people screaming and/or crying and finally, yes, FINALLY, being surrounded by a flock of people who "got" what I "got" when I was a teenager. I remember thinking "is this real?" Thanks again, boys! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirlFan Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I wish I were a fan for more than 5 years because I missed out on so many Raspberries concerts in the 70's and 00's and I haven't been to any Eric Carmen concerts either but I hope that someday I'll get my chance to see Eric Carmen concerts and Raspberries concerts Tammy Quick 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Michael Page Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Killer audio, even better than the CD from LA (which is still really good). Nice crunchy guitars! Thanks, Bernie, for posting. Happy Thanksgiving to all here! BMP 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So, this made me pull out the DVD and watch it for the zillionth time. Such a fantastic concert from start to finish! BTW, my youngest daughter walked in to the living room while I was watching and said, "Dad, I gotta say, Eric Carmen is still HOT!" haha Somewhere, Eric is smiling and he doesn't know why! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Wow! What a GREAT performance. Keep in mind, Eric is singing this after wailing for 2 hours on the rest of Raspberries' setlist. I'll say it again...wow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I don’t know how, but as great as this was hearing it the first time, this somehow gets better with age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
