Craig Benfer Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So, I pre-order the CD but stores get it first AND it's cheaper? If I wasn't so excited about getting the CD, I'd be peeved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent an email to Omnivore asking when I will see my order. They sent a reply stating it went out, but in the meantime they sent a zipped digital copy to me with the artwork included. I thought that was nice of them. I'll have it to listen to on my way home today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Am I correct in saying that the order of songs has been changed a bit? I'm pretty sure Overnight Sensation was played much later in the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Mine came in the mail today, also...so far, I've only had time to pop it in and listen to one song- I now have a new favorite version of "Starting Over"- got all misty-eyed for a lot of reasons...fantastic!!

Kirk Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Just got done listening to both cd's...some observations: If this is the last thing we get from Raspberries, it is a fitting end- the energy from the band and the fans is electric! As Bernie noted earlier- the Carmen/Bryson harmonies are tight! The harmonies and instrumental parts from the overdubs are fabulous! When guitars need to jangle, they jangle. When guitars need to wail, they wail! Although not note perfect, both cd's are 'hot'- a very live sound! You can tell where the vocals have been tweaked, but it's tastefully done. A few standouts for me on first listen- "Let's Pretend" (rich harmonies and jangly guitars- best version I've heard). "Overnight Sensation" (Hit Record- I'd say so). "I Can Remember" (so good). "Starting Over" (o.k., I've listened to this version 6 times already- my favorite version and song from any Raspberries album- EVER). "Go All The Way" (took me all the way- what a way to finish the set- everything clicking on this one). Which brings me to why this double cd is sooooo good. Tommy Allen just nails the production. It sounds great with headphones. It's sounds great on my 7 speaker floor monitors. It's mixed so darn good, I almost can't improve upon it with my equalizer, which is something I can't say for any of my other live albums. Just tremendous! Thanks one and all for this recording. It was worth the wait! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 I think this is the definitive LIVE recording of this band. And like everyone said, it just nails the excitement I felt in the audience and actually sounds better than the memory I have it in my head. While I would have preferred the original set list, Eric did tweak the song order a little. His logic was that when reviewers put the disc on, they'd be more apt to keep listening if the show started at full tilt and roared on from there. SO far, every review has been stellar, so he might have had good instincts there. The running order on the LP version will have a few additional tweaks, due to the limitations of how much fits on each side of a record.

Kirk Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm o.k. with the song order- it changed from city to city, anyway. Bernie, what about a dvd? I've heard others asking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Was there video shot at the show for a DVD... Hmmm?!? Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So, do you take the video as shot and re-do the song order on the cd, or edit the daylights out of the video to match the cd song order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I have heard Drivin' Around/Cruisin Music from the Chicago show...that's one possibility- I'm sure Bernie will fill in the blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 One of the first things I did was rip this Cd so I can put the tracks in the original order. With the help of Audacity and some editing, I blended things together pretty well for my listening pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATW Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Late to the game on this one. I haven't checked in at EC for a while, and while browsing Apple Music I come to find THIS. I have the signed version of Sunset Strip, and I find Pop Art to be a much more enjoyable listen. Less polished, and it's like listening to 1974 Raspberries, rather than 2000's. The mix is better, the individual guitars stand out, and the in my opinion, the energy is at another level. What a gift! Edit: Holy isht! Ticket to Ride. OMFG. Edit 2: Actually, all 3 Beatles songs are amazing. These guys should form a Beatles tribute band... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I own this cd and also "Live On Sunset Strip" Both awesome, but I like "Pop Art Live" a little better...I am biased because it was performed in Cleveland, my hometown as well as the 'Berries. Eric used to live 10 minutes away from me, until he moved to Arizona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It’s been years and I still listen to this record at least once a week if not more. I have it on both CD and vinyl. Just today, in fact, I was talking with a raspberries fan who was somehow unaware of this record and turned him on to it and he is about to buy it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 It´s a phenomenal live album. A ´perfect live rendition of some of the greatest songs ever written and recorded in the studio. This album should have sold a ton. I actually bought some copies for friends to help promote it, I felt it was that great. James 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
