As a little girl listening to AM Radio and soft rock of the seventies, I loved the music of the Raspberries. RIP Mr. Eric Carmen. This was the music of my childhood.
I was 16 then and having that Raspberries album made me very popular! So many of his best songs happened at a special points in my life. Thanks Eric. I will miss you.
The magnificent voice of the one and only Eric Carmen. This one is my favorite by the Raspberries. Eric really belted this one out. Thank you sir. You will surely be missed. And loved.
My daughters are 30 and 23 and they love the Raspberries because I introduced them to their music while the girls were just kids. This is one of my favorites of theirs. Could listen to it every day! Love the Midnight Special channel. Such great music from one of music's greatest decades!!
Just heard the news of Eric’s passing. I always figured I’d go see them on their next reunion tour. Sadly, that will never happen now. Thanks for all the great music, Eric.
When they got together for their 50th Anniversary, some bands start to fade and not sound the same, on their 50th Anniversary they kicked ass and sounded better than when they started. Love, love, love the Raspberries.
RIP Eric Carmen. Your music got me through some tough times and forever will be timeless! Thanks for the tunes and the memories that i will never forget

I'm in shock. I'm serious, I LOVE this man's music. When Richard Lewis died, I remembered Eric and for some reason, I felt dread for him. As if something was going to happen to him. It's very similar to the worry I felt for George Michael a day before he died. Eric... man.
@@richrol58 I was discussing it with my wife and I think that’s what happened. It’s subconscious level. He probably reminded me of Eric Carmen. However it’s interesting that a sense of dread and then this happens.
Same weird thing happens to me, I’ll draw up some past great singers/entertainers and then Poof! The news is so close in time that It makes me mad cause their lives were so busy that it either became too much one way or another, but it’s creepy how it happens to be the very ones I pick sometimes! You know the feeling 👍🧐
@@tamieckert4548 It's strange isn't it? Wild really. I'm not into paranormal things, a skeptic but fun-casual curiosity-interest in UFOs, that's it, but I'e had other things happen that I was like, why did I get that out of the blue? Or wish something into existence. But it may have to do with the ethereal qualities of music and how I believe that musicians, are born artist and have tapped something a bit beyond when they play, sing, create music. And, perhaps something they send out, without knowing that channels out to those that love and internalize their music. I know, sounds crazy, but ...
The Killers did a cover of "Go All the Way" for the Dark Shadows movie with Johnny Depp, but they didn't take advantage of the very strong guitar intro.
“Some success” for sure! He’s made millions just off of “All By Myself” - the royalties from everytime it’s sung on those TV talent shows plus when it’s gone to national exposure as a jingle on the Expedia ads.
Major inspiration.. eric carmen and his music kept me in piano lessons.. hoping one day I could play like him and maybe even write a song or two.. rip maestro.
I could tell vocals are live. But you are right, music is not, because the song fades at the end. You can't do that playing live, obviously. @@jlaspesa9991
I loved the classic Raspberries and Eric Carmen as a solo artist. His unique facial and mouth expressions as his sang with fade and direct on microphone. RIP Erick Carmen.
Such a great song by such a great group. I loved this song from the first time I heard it and still sounds fresh and rocks. 2024 and it sounds so refreshing. Need more like it now.
Raspberries were labeled bubblegum and imploded pretty quickly. Seems to me that they couldn’t decide whether they were a boy band or a more serious rock/pop band. They had lots of talent, especially in Eric Carmen.
My favorite group and the best lead singer. All four of these guys were immensely talented. I think they had just tapped their potential when they split up...With more great songs, and if they had stayed together....We would all be talking about them as one of the greatest rock bands ever. Love the energy of the guys around Eric....So much to enjoy in their songs.
The Midnight Special was so amazing. All the current top acts in Rock, performing live, and late at night...after the Tonight Show on Friday Night!! 😊😊😊
Rock on Roll in Heaven E.Carmen..You were an inspiration in all that believe in your Music and Record Making.You will be Missed by Many.You Left to soon ,🌌🌠💔🙏💐💐🌄🌅🥇No1.Hit Record....JJ
I doubt Paul would be jealous of Eric & his band. I can see Paul and John both being jealous, at times, of each other though. If anything I'd b e t he just admired the Raspberrys music and probably listened to them.
I'd guess the Beatles had something of a big brotherly attitude toward the Raspberries and Badfinger: "hey, we did that stuff 8-10 years ago ... but those guys are pretty good." And probably the same attitude toward the Knack and Cheap Trick later in the decade.

Eric Carmen was amazing! He was a child prodigy-he started playing the violin when he was 3yrs. old. Such a talented guy and gorgeous to top it off. Somebody said he passed away recently. I say RIP Eric Carmen and you will always be loved and remembered ❤️ You were awesome in every way!
In memory of Eric Carmen, whose timeless voice and soul-stirring melodies shall forever grace the tapestry of time and our hearts. His lyrical eloquence was a gentle breeze that caressed the souls of many, weaving a symphony of emotions that resonated with profound depth. Each verse he sang was a vibrant canvas, portraying tales of love, desire, sensuality and human connection, evoking a myriad of heartfelt sentiments in his listeners. Yet beyond his musical genius, he gifted us a legacy of unparalleled passion and artistic brilliance that will transcend the boundaries of life. Though he has bid us farewell, his music will continue to be cherished by fans worldwide for its emotional depth and timeless appeal. In homage to his boundless talent, may his legacy serve as a beacon; igniting inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations of musicians to come, as his celestial voice reverberates in an eternal symphony. Rest in eternal peace Eric.
Almost positive they are miming. You can usually tell by the drummer barely hitting the drums (because they would drown out the tape), the drummer was out of synch with the tape a couple times, and the song fades out at the end. Live performances don't fade out. Still, one of my all-time favorite songs by one of my all-time favorite bands. This song made me want to become a musician - and I've played professionally all my adult life.

As a little girl listening to AM Radio and soft rock of the seventies, I loved the music of the Raspberries. RIP Mr. Eric Carmen. This was the music of my childhood.
So,so underrated ! Their music will live on. Simply the best.
RIP Eric Carmen. You were such an amazing singer man
I don't know if the Raspberries made anymore appearances on the Midnight Special but that's definitely a goodie. Good solid tune.
I've seen it.
Just “good”?! This song is an absolute jewel of power pop that is impossible to not sing along to.
Have always loved this performance! Wish they'd also done Go All The Way.🎼
I think Eric did solo
Springsteen openly admits to coping the opening to Born to Run from this tune.
I was 16 then and having that Raspberries album made me very popular! So many of his best songs happened at a special points in my life. Thanks Eric. I will miss you.

Beatles; Beach Boys; Small Faces; Byrds and The Who all wrapped up in one phenomenal power pop band. Too sad to hear this news. RIP.
Right here^^^
Your right.
Just heard the news of Eric’s passing. I always figured I’d go see them on their next reunion tour. Sadly, that will never happen now. Thanks for all the great music, Eric.
RIP Eric Carmen, thanks for the tunes & memories.
Bands like the raspberries and circus put Cleveland on the map RIP Eric ❤
The sound of coming of age during summers at Wildwood NJ. Thanks for the music, Eric!
RIP Eric Carmen I’m gonna miss you,
you made our world a better place with the fabulous music.🕊️🎶❤😿
Love the “OH!!”🎶
& “YEAH!!”🎶
shouts in the chorus - adds so much to this GREAT song.
Go All The way 1 of Rocks best songs ever.
When they got together for their 50th Anniversary, some bands start to fade and not sound the same, on their 50th Anniversary they kicked ass and sounded better than when they started. Love, love, love the Raspberries.
Great music no auto tune etc. Rip Eric
Rest easy, Eric ❤
1973... Now 2023. It's crazy when you really think about it!
Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
It sure is! Happy Thursday. 😊💜

Thank you! 😊 l hope you have an awesome day! 💖
Yea it’s crazy ! I’m a true 70’s girl too! 🥂 Cheers

Eric, Dave Wally, Jim, Never got the recognition until later on. Every member as great as The Beatles

Wish they also played "Go all the way"
Yes! My favorite song from them...
Fantastic! Oh, to be twenty years old again and know what I know now
The Killers did a cover of "Go All the Way" for the Dark Shadows movie with Johnny Depp, but they didn't take advantage of the very strong guitar intro.
Just good old fashioned pop music.👍
My favorite song when I was a little kid in the '70s and still gets me revved up in the '20s.
One of the best power pop bands of the 70’s. Eric Carmen is great singer songwriter
My childhood is slipping away. RIP Eric!
Such a great song! I love Eric Carmen. He had some success on his own a little later. Cool looking band.😊
I never knew he had this band back in the day. I only remember his solo carrier. But I only know Go All the Way from this band.
@Topgunphoto Yeah, I never put two and two together, either. Or else I forgot, because I knew this song, for sure!
“Some success” for sure! He’s made millions just off of “All By Myself” - the royalties from everytime it’s sung on those TV talent shows plus when it’s gone to national exposure as a jingle on the Expedia ads.
Then we could offer things like him composing songs like “Almost Paradise”? Yep he definitely should be in the Songwriters Hall of Fame?!!!!!
Major inspiration.. eric carmen and his music kept me in piano lessons.. hoping one day I could play like him and maybe even write a song or two.. rip maestro.
Nice! Great voice / song/ band!.. and it's LIVE!
Live vocal only.
I could tell vocals are live. But you are right, music is not, because the song fades at the end. You can't do that playing live, obviously. @@jlaspesa9991
The sound board guy can just pull down the master volume?!?
Man; what a total gem of a tune. Thank you; Eric, and The Raspberries, for making it a reality....
I loved the classic Raspberries and Eric Carmen as a solo artist. His unique facial and mouth expressions as his sang with fade and direct on microphone. RIP Erick Carmen.
Tight. Nice guitar work.
Great old song.
RIP, Eric Carmen. The music just got better in heaven. Not that it was bad to begin with.
The Kings of Power Pop.
Such a great song by such a great group. I loved this song from the first time I heard it and still sounds fresh and rocks. 2024 and it sounds so refreshing. Need more like it now.
RIP Eric Carmen. You will be missed.
I hope someone writes a biography of this beautiful man someday
Wally is a great guitarist. RIP Eric.
The good old days when this song and Go All the Way were considered scandalous 😂!.
That brings back memories of trying to stay awake to watch The midnight special 🌙🌛and forgot this song. I liked Go all the way just a bit more.
Raspberries were labeled bubblegum and imploded pretty quickly. Seems to me that they couldn’t decide whether they were a boy band or a more serious rock/pop band. They had lots of talent, especially in Eric Carmen.
That was mishandling on the part of Capitol Records!!! Pretty horrible on the PR front.
They were five years too early.
Nothing better than Wally's ringing Rickenbacker!
And footwork
Wally was great!
It that where the cool, jingly jangly guitar sound is coming from?
Is he wearing white pants? Ty
Wally could play that double-neck ! ❤️
@@KittyGrizGriz Wally is in the black pants.
Can't get enough of the bassist and drummer
Music has changed so much through the years. And sadly, not for the better…..
My favorite Raspberries song.
My favorite group and the best lead singer. All four of these guys were immensely talented. I think they had just tapped their potential when they split up...With more great songs, and if they had stayed together....We would all be talking about them as one of the greatest rock bands ever. Love the energy of the guys around Eric....So much to enjoy in their songs.
For a live and no sound tricks, his vocals are in perfect key. No flatness or sharp whatsoever.
Love the Raspberries ❤. 64 and grew up in the best of the best music era 🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant!!!
Eric - you had me at 'Overnight Sensation'. You will never be forgotten!
My gosh, I didn’t realize he passed. I always been a big fan. Love the raspberries. Love Erik solo stuff too.
Now that's the stuff!
Oh yeah, love them and thank you!
The Midnight Special was so amazing. All the current top acts in Rock, performing live, and late at night...after the Tonight Show on Friday Night!! 😊😊😊
Simply put….great underrated talent.
Thank you for this one! One of my favorites. Always makes me feel good to hear it.
1975 I was 8 years old and this was my favorite tune from an album of my mother’s.
Look Ma ....No autotune!
Back when music was great!
Great part of Cleveland and Rock and Roll History.
this sounds live... beautiful background vocals these guys did it all
Rock on Roll in Heaven E.Carmen..You were an inspiration in all that believe in your Music and Record Making.You will be Missed by Many.You Left to soon ,🌌🌠💔🙏💐💐🌄🌅🥇No1.Hit Record....JJ
I knew the song, but didn't know it was The Raspberries. They got a couple other good songs and hope they get uploaded too! Thanks!!
Great band. RIP, Eric.
They had a GREAT catalog of songs! God I miss that era!
First time hearing this. Cool song. Love the 12 string Ric.
Always top drawer. This band unreal super. Thanks for years of terrific music.
Adored this guy and his music
pure power pop...at its best !!
RIP, I love your music, when I was a teenager, and to me your music has never died. We will remember always.
One of the best!
these guys were one of the best pop bands around - absolutely killer singles
Such pristine footage, performance of The Raspberries on The Midnight Special. Cheers. 🍷
Wally looks like he is having such a great time❤
I'm glad I could see the drumming in this video. I love Eric and The Raspberries.❤
RIP Eric Carmen you took me from the Archie's to rock and roll 🥐!!!!!!
My first album go all the way. 1972.
Nobody can tell me that Paul McCartney wasn’t jealous of their music and songs. Severely underrated band.
Sorry, paul was in the Beatles, i doubt he was jealous of the raspberries. He did say they were all big fans of Brian Wilson.
I doubt Paul would be jealous of Eric & his band. I can see Paul and John both being jealous, at times, of each other though. If anything I'd b e t he just admired the Raspberrys music and probably listened to them.
I'd guess the Beatles had something of a big brotherly attitude toward the Raspberries and Badfinger: "hey, we did that stuff 8-10 years ago ... but those guys are pretty good."
And probably the same attitude toward the Knack and Cheap Trick later in the decade.
Can’t stand the overused “underrated” term … 😛
