Raspbernie Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 I have tickets for this show. Hope to see you all there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbecstacy Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Hi Bernie,I'll be there on the 24th...unbelievable that I'll finally be seeing Eric live after all these years. I remember when I was in elementary school, word was that the "Starting Over" Raspberries lineup was going to play a concert at the junior high because it won a radio station contest, collecting the most gum wrappers or something...and I was already a die-hard Razz fan...but not going to that school yet, so I couldn't go...it didn't pan out and the station provided a different band I believe...so to get that opportunity to see Eric in person is just incredible, thank you for alerting us to this tour. Also, thanks Bernie for forwarding my question about the Ringo drum sample to Eric, it was a thrill to see it on the new "Ask Eric."Hope to see you at the Keswick!Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbecstacy Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 I'll look for that flag...and my dad's name is Bernie, lol...Too bad Todd R. can't make it for his hometown show...I'll keep watching and hoping for that asterisk on the 24th.Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted June 16, 2002 Author Share Posted June 16, 2002 Howard-- Speaking about that ASK ERIC...did you get a chance to compare the drum in "Cartoon World" to both "Sgt. Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour" to determine exactly which one Eric sampled? --Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbecstacy Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 Hey Bernie,My guess is that Eric used the "Sgt. Pepper Reprise"..."Magic Mystery Tour" has a similar isolated Ringo drum lick, but if Eric used that, he'd have to change the tempo, and he wouldn't have had much to sample before the MC voice kicks in ("Roll up, roll up for the magic mystery tour...), while the "Sgt. Pepper" lick is an exact match to the one on Eric's CD...he may have used the version on "Beatles Anthology 2" that has no sound effects or studio treatment, just 16 bars of raw Ringo, and tailor-made for sampling.Whatever the case, "Cartoon World" is a great track, and the Ringo reference either way is a welcome wink to his former boss.Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Hi! We're going to the Keswick too. I'm sure we'll be going to other venues as well. It will be great to see Bernie as well as all the wonderful people on the "board." --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 What are we WEARING?!!!! This could be a whole topic with the girls on the board in itself!Jeans and some darling little top with spaghetti straps in a gorgeous summer color (that I still have to shop for)like I used to wear when to Raspberries' concerts when I was 25! I remember that half the fun and anticipation was shopping for that "perfect" outfit to wear to all the Raspberries shows. (Bring back memories, girls?) Oh, and of course--a BIG SMILE!!!!

darlene Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 By the way, what are YOU wearing? --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 WOW, Bernie, I'll be almost as excited to meet you as I will be to see Eric! (don't go gettin' a big head, I said ALMOST, lol!). Darlene, good question about the clothes. I just got a great "little black dress" for my vacation in Disney World (just got home tonight), it's made like a tank top on top, solid black, and *very* short, with 4" black fringe on the hem, alas, it's probably too dressy for a concert, *sigh*. I'll probably go with a pants suit, maybe my black one with the long coat that makes me look like Anne Robinson from "Weakest Link" with long blonde hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Girls, Definitely go for the black leather miniskirt and hot pink V necked sweater, and JuliaD, wear your "little black dress" with the fringe. This may be much more fun than I thought.Maybe I'll go shopping for a new outfit another dimension beyond the jeans thing...I shouldn't date myself here, but I remember when Eric was at The Bottom Line in New York City in 1976, it was really in to wear sparkly tops and shiny satin dressy jackets over jeans, and we did. Every time I look at those pictures we took, I grin...Okay, girls, what are you wearing??? --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Ohhhhhhhh, but I'm so jealous... the only way I'll have cleavage is if I wear the dress upside down and backwards (think about it). Darlene, I recall the first night I saw Eric on the DD tour, I wore a zebra print miniskirt and a white waist length jacket with black buttons, and high heels (black). I went to my moms before I went to the concert, and I said "I look like a hooker", and my mom said "yeah, but a *pricey* one", lol! It cracked me up, you'd have to know how straight and prim and proper my mom is to realize how hysterical that comment was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Sutton Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Everyone make sure you wear your Eric Carmen t-shirts to the Keswick show.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbecstacy Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Ron,I don't have an Eric Carmen t-shirt, or else I'd wear one...would a t-shirt featuring his bastard namesake, Eric Cartman from "South Park," be a reasonable substitute?Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Yep, planning on AC also. My husband is going to the Keswick with me. I'll probably go to Atlantic City with my girlfriend Millie, who saw the Dirty Dancing show with me in PA. (Herman said he doesn't have to see Eric in two different outfits, so Millie can have his ticket. He LOVES to hear him perform though. He loved Eric in Ringo's show). I just bought the cutest little miniskirt (it was so cute I bought one in black and one in white). Now for what to wear with it...JuliaD's cleavage should be very interesting, especially if she comes in walking on her hands...go for the cleavage and miniskirt! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 PS: Guys, WHERE did you get an Eric Carmen tee shirt? (Or for that matter, an Eric Cartman tee shirt?!) TELL ME! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbecstacy Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hey, Darlene, I don't know where to get an Eric Carmen t-shirt (I could use one myself!), but an "ERIC CARTMAN" t-shirt can be found at comedycentral.com .I wonder if the South Park guys are fans of our Eric and the character name was their tribute...or just a coincidence?Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Thanks Howard! Will do! By the way, somehow, can you believe I NEVER associated the character Eric Cartman with Eric?! I never really watched South Park though, to be fair. Now I'm going to check it out. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryeyes Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hello everyone. We are going to the show, and hope to meet you. Would everyone like to plan a before show or after show get together?I don't know the area, but maybe someone from the area could suggest something. The lobby of the theatre, somewhere near the theatre, a lounge, coffee shop, I don't know it is just an idea. I thought it would be nice to chit chat face to face.What does everyone think about that?Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryeyes Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Oops.. girls I forgot to mention what appears to be an important subject here. An outfit to wear to the show. Mini skirt? I envy you, I don't know, I call my legs tree stumps. Oh, and cleavage, huh...what's that? I suppose if I just walk around all night with my arms tightly folded, I could get that effect. It's always something Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Gina, A get-together sounds great! I think we'll all know where to meet, what with Julia walking around on her hands, and you walking around with your arms folded! I think we'll just know each other because we're all so bright, funny and spirited! And--don't worry--BUYING the miniskirtis one thing--fitting INTO it is another! I'm onthe exercise bike tonight! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well, since this is a night I'll be seeing Eric in the flesh (so to speak), I'll be easy to spot... I'll be the one with the hot flash who's panting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 By the way, I've added a pic of me to my profile so anyone at the show will have an idea who I am if they are looking for other forum members. This is a pic taken just last week at Disney World, and no, I am not the one wearing the white gloves, I am the one with the striped top... and you can't tell by the pic, but I have very long, frosted hair (more than halfway down my back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Julia, Great pic! Yes it is hot in here -- it's not the avatars! By the way, I have the same striped top, and I love it. How did you add a picture to your profile? Hope you had a great time at Disney World! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
