elle4ec Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 OMG! I remember this performance! I was only 13, but an avid viewer of AB. I had the two songs separately on 2 different youtube videos, but not this full-length version. This is the performance when I developed "my teenage crush" on EC! Thanks for sharing, I added it to my youtube EC playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Mine is in My Favorites section.It might be a good idea for me to put the links into a file, too! Than I have it right on the monitor for easier access. Or maybe I could make a Winamp playlist and copy it to Media Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywolf Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey Elle, like you, I too, remember watching Eric perform these on AB...and in all honesty, it was the first time I had ever heard of Eric Carmen...did not realize he was also the guy who was part of the phenomenal group that sang "Go All The Way"! But when I heard him sing these too songs...reverberating right through the core of me...I was hooked right then and there forever! Thanks for finding sharing this!!

danmichel Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I remember seeing this back in '76...Brings back some great musical memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missy Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I've never seen this one ever! Only the two songs individually without the interview. I loved it. I'd like to see more videos of Eric being interviewed. When he talks he has an awesome rasp to his voice but when he sings he sounds like an angel! Thankyou for that one Bessieboo.

But when I heard him sing these too songs...reverberating right through the core of me...I was hooked right then and there forever! Thanks for finding sharing this!! I'm with you and Elle. I was about 13 or 14, depending upon air date and I can remember sitting in front of the TV, being all wide eyed and staring at Eric. I just couldn't believe how anyone could be so FOXY - I'm sure that was my terminology back then! And my heart would pound - hard! And when I met Eric, that heart was just - a- racin', like when I was a kid. What a great feeling! It was such a nice, innocent time!

angelina Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 You have to love Eric's denim jumpsuit with upturned collar.Eric's fashion sense has ALWAYS been great. Most "MOD-sters" knew how to put an ensemble together.To this day he remains nattily-attired!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinberries Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 you can tell it was lip-synced unlike most of the other performances we've seen from back then. man i wish someone could turn up the missing & fabled Raspberries American Bandstand performance that burned up w/ countless others in Dick Clark's AB warehouse...

darlene Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Who was 6 at the time? I was 28!!! I also remember this appearance. It was SO exciting! It was the year he made his solo debut in New York City--what an exciting time this was!Thanks so much for the link! So very enjoyable! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Oh dear, I must have missed catching this one. Dick Clark Productions had it taken off YouTube for copyright violation!I would have liked to have seen it again. If it's the one I think it is, I made an audio tape of it back when it aired, on the cassette player I got when I turned 14, but the tape is long lost. I still remember the first thing on it, though--the sound of our phone ringing and my mother reacting to it by yelling "Well, hell's bells!" and something else. I had never heard my mother say "Hell's bells!" before. It was quite funny. At the same time, I sure as heck didn't want her to talk so loudly I couldn't pick up the sound from the TV!I can still remember exactly how Eric sounded when Dick asked him where he was from and he said "Cleveland, Ohio"...
