Kirk Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hey Marlene, that's the spirit! I know there have been rumblings about a live release lately, but now that the Cleveland Plain Dealer has made it public- IT'S TIME TO GET EXCITED, FOLKS Maybe Bernie can give us a little more info. Like, will it be a cd or a dvd? I talked to the guys video taping the show for the band at L.A. (there were 2 cameras), but I heard that they stopped filming part way through the show. I didn't notice, as I was in front of them. Also, would it be a sound board recording or? I stuck my head into a room full of equipment at the back of the HOB in L.A., but I can't remember what the guy said about recording the show when I asked him. If it's a cd, one or two? I would hope that they didn't cut anything just to make it fit on one disc. C'mon, Bernie, we're all ears Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Great news!!! At the risk of being greedy, I hope it's at least a 2 disk set which includes the entire show.....(or better yet, the whole show plus bonus tracks from the other shows of somgs they didn't do that night in LA.....just a bonus EP of live Beatles covers would be nice..)

Poor4Life Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I'll believe it when our fearless leader Bernie says it's so, and I have it in my hands! LOLJeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 So even if they cut the cameras half way, there could be some bonus DVD material on the CD still? I guess we're all a little greedy for 'berries, but after 30+ years (minus "elderberries") who can blame us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 John O, good thoughts. Can I be so bold as to post my own wishes? I like what Capitol did with perhaps my favorite DVD ever, the George Harrison tribute bash, because it had a 2-DVD set plus a companion CD release. For Raspberries, I'd personally love to see the same: a 2-DVD set with a companion CD. Disc 1 on the DVD might include one entire concert, start to finish. Disc 2 of the DVD might include:* selective performances that represent the best of the other concerts; * a few behind-the-scenes things; * the VH1 performances (all of the songs)* and, of course, Bernie's concert-opening video, which I've heard about but (as one of the unfortunate souls who never got to a Raspberries concert) never saw. As for the CD, I'd love to see a 20- to 24-track compilation of the best live performances from the whole tour, PLUS the slow version of "I Wanna Be With You" from VH1. In a perfect world, "IWBWY" would catch on as a hit record---and become #1 smash 34 years after it first charted. Wouldn't that be just desserts?--LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 In a perfect world we'd be looking forward to their 34th album in those 34 years!!!That perfect dream cd/dvd package would include clips from the early years as well as a boatload of new stuff... their covers of their own songs, covers of other songs, and several new tunes...Ah, to dream...

aggiesjc Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Marlene, remember when you and I bumped into those guys who said they would be filming the LA show? Maybe they weren't teasing us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Bumped into? Heck, I heard Marlene took one of them to her hotel room!...How and why she left him hanging on the balcony rail by his Fruit of the Looms, and missing the digital video he shot at the HOB, is still confounding the LAPD.But you can't always believe what you read in the LA Times.

marlene Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Ah..well, yes..it's true that I've always said I'd do just about anything for new Raspberries/Eric music....but....

mymooladi Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 LC, I think you and me think alike on this one. I would love to have a DVD of a whole show and then another with the extras. The CD they can put inside the box or outside. Inside is best, it would get more people to see them preform. How wonderful would that be? They have all this tape they might as well put it to good use and charge more money. I'd pay more for it. Now, what year do you think it "might" come out?June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Whatever form the DVD comes out, It really should have Bernie's intro on it...So I can finally see it in full. And Bernie gets a small cut to cover the rising cost of milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmichel Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 For those of us too far away...or who couldn't afford to travel to see the band live...A RASPBERRIES live album is just the ticket...I hope this is all true and that i can have the CD playing in my CD player soon.

darlene Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 What happens in Los Angeles, STAYS in Los Angeles, right Mar? I've been away from the site so long (!) that I just found this thread now! You know the old saying, "a watched pot never boils..." Maybe I should leave more often--BIG development here!WOW!!!! LC sure planned out a dream package there.I *knew* something was happening--I could just feel it, but had no idea what. WOWWWWWWWWW!Hey, Mar, all the "hard work" you did in that Los Angeles hotel is paying off! Oh dear, , did *I* say that?!I *told* you all to be patient! What anticipation! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hey, thanks, June and Darlene! Wouldn't it be nice to get that kind of package? (Not that we're asking for too much....)Of course, not having seen any of the reunion shows, I'd be happy with just a single-disc presentation of a dozen songs. But why not think bigger?Re: the CD companion... I really do think "I Wanna Be With You" could score again as a single. Remember how Clapton's unplugged version of "Layla" became such a big hit in the early 1990s? It's the same thing. The Raspberries' slow version of "IWBWY" has such a nice "honesty" to it, and real passion. Nice ballad. I even hear a bit of gospel in it, at the beginning, when the first backup vocals come in.

Poor4Life Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I for one would love to see Bernie's opening montage on the DVD. I was at the Chicago show, but from where I was standing (stage right, front row) I couldn't see all of it too well.Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I saw it well in Chicago. The melt from the film to the curtains opening onto "I Wanna Be With You" gave me a full-blown outbreak of goosebumps. That was my most moving concert moment of my life.P.S. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie fighting over who got to party with me after a FMac concert comes in a close 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 LC, I think the slow version of IWBWY would be a hit also. I thought it from the first moment I heard the opening chords on "Hangin' With..."The opening montage should be in a DVD collection for sure. I had tears streaming down my face in Cleveland at the very first reunion show when that screen rose and there they were.I would pay admission to see Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie fight over who was going to party with James--but then I'd walk over and take him away from them. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
