Matthew C. Clark Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 By the way, Badfinger did a song called "Come One" which is actually "Come On" (from 1981 "Say No More"). Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 "It" will be "wonderful"! Everything Eric Carmen or Raspberries always is! So happy for them all! Nancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC1215 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Pre-ordered the CDs. I'm a vinyl guy, can't wait for the LP release. Hopefully the LP release will have posters and lyric sheets. Still have my original 1st LP with the sticker that still has the scent and songbook from Arrowhead Music in Mentor OH. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave from Equinox Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I just pre-ordered the CDs too, and yes, I also still have the 1st LP and sticker as well as all of the other LPs. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Was watching a Foreigner concert on AXS TV a few hours ago, and a commercial comes on advertising the upcoming release of Pop Art Live - Raspberries. Cool! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I was able to get my copy today at local independent record store. Called and they said it was in!! The cd took me right back to the concert . I am so happy they released this first show. Enjoyed reading the liner notes especially Ken and Bernie's. It makes you realize what an impact this band made on so many people. Thank you Eric, Dave, Wally and Jim for giving us this gift!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donzi Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I purchased the CD's from Amoeba.com. $20.98 plus free shipping and no tax. Cheaper than Amazon after factoring in sales tax and possibly shipping, if you don't have a Prime account. I have bought things from Amoeba before and had no issues. Should be here tomorrow. I also purchased/pre-ordered the LP's from SoundStageDirect.com. $54.99, however, using code LP20, I got 20% off. Unfortunately, you must spend at least $49.99 for free shipping. A good excuse for buying another Boston Third Stage LP! :-) I have bought a bunch of LP's from them. No issues with them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donzi Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 FYI - The 3 LP set has 30 songs and the 2 CD set has 28 songs. The 2 extra songs on the LP set are Drivin' Around/Cruisin Music & I Don't Know What I Want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolin' Myself Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I remember when Live on Sunset Strip first came out I was so excited. One of my favorite songs is "Starting Over". It didn't make the cut on the live CD. If I remember, the mixing of the song wasn't great, so I was a little disappointed. Now with "Pop live", I can hear it live. Yay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 "Starting Over" from the new live CD is a standout GREAT track! Absolutely magical to hear Wally and Eric harmonizing on that one for the first time since the band broke up. Really had to hold back tears at the show and hearing it on the CD is a goosebump moment for sure! Bernie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have an audience recording of Starting Over from this show- can't wait to hear the Tommy Allen treatment on my favorite song! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Here's another surprise. Of course, as the band honed their act and continued to play more shows their voices and chops just got better and better. But on this first glorious night, their first appearance together in three decades, the band member who sang most flawlessly was Dave Smalley. Every single one of his songs is sung with precision. I know Dave was writing his tunes for his more limited vocal range, but when you get the live CD you'll see. He nails each and everyone of his songs and his voice sounds exactly like it did when they were first recorded. Amazing, Dave!

Jackie Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If there is anyone in the Northeastern Ohio area--the cd is available at Record Den in Mentor Ohio--cool independent record store that carries an unbelievable inventory of music!! CD was $19.99 before tax. FYI..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Sweet Jesus....got my CDs and picture this - 85 and sunny, the lawn is done, steak on the grill, tiki lights are lit, and a 12 pack of Sam Summer on ice and Raspberries Pop Art live blasting - talk about waking up the neighbors - best live set for me since 77 and Frampton - awesome, awesome, awesome - so good! Thank You so so much for putting this out, I am totally pumped! Wow!!! Guys, we only live once, please do it again. Ok, I got to go calm down. Thanks again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
