Eric Carmen R.I.P. (1949-08-11 / 2024-03-11)

RASPBERRIES - PALACE THEATRE (1973)

 
This complete recording of the Raspberries taping for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert TV program, recorded before an intimate audience at Manhattan's Palace Theatre in 1973, captures the group at the peak of their powers. Although only five songs were featured in the television broadcast, here one can enjoy the complete nine-song set, exactly as it went down. Containing material from their first three albums, as well as a pair of choice covers, this recording not only displays the band's vocal harmony prowess, but proves just how tight and talented this band actually was on stage.

Line-up:
Eric Carmen - vocals, rhythm guitar, piano; Jim Bonfanti - drums; Wally Bryson - vocals, lead guitar, synthesizer; Dave Smalley - vocals, bass
