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.

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.
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.
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.
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!!
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 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.
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!
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
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
“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.
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.
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!! 😊😊😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Loved this song.. rest in peace Eric Carmen. Thank you for the beautiful music.
Yes. Heard the news😢
😢
Oh no, Eric passed away? I didn't know. What a kick in the gut. Damn.
Love this tune too Patti
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.
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."

Can’t stand the overused “underrated” term … 😛

❤❤ Raspberries should do a Tribute for Eric in Cleveland Ohio and for us fans so we can come together and remember him 💘💘
RIP Eric Carmen. You were such an amazing singer man
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! 💖

@@julenepegher6999 Cheers 🥂
I was a junior in high school and loved this song ❤
So,so underrated ! Their music will live on. Simply the best.
Erc Carmen has passed! But his music will live forever
Amen to that.
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 state of OH loves the Raspberries!!

That was mishandling on the part of Capitol Records!!! Pretty horrible on the PR front.
They were five years too early.
RIP Eric Carmen.
Simply put….great underrated talent.
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 good old fashioned pop music.👍
Wally is a great guitarist. RIP Eric.
Love the Raspberries ❤. 64 and grew up in the best of the best music era 🙏🙏🙏
Bands like the raspberries and circus put Cleveland on the map RIP Eric ❤
My favorite song when I was a little kid in the '70s and still gets me revved up in the '20s.
Great music no auto tune etc. Rip Eric
Eric - you had me at 'Overnight Sensation'. You will never be forgotten!
Rest easy, Eric ❤

I forgot about this little beauty RIP Eric❤
Go All The way 1 of Rocks best songs ever.
The Kings of Power Pop.
Nice! Great voice / song/ band!.. and it's LIVE!
Live vocal only.

you made our world a better place with the fabulous music.🕊️🎶❤😿
Takes me back to 1980 and a an equally young girl . . .
this is from the early 1970s
@@dampergoldenrod4156 Yeah, it still played in the early 1980's, what is your point?
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
Ultimate power pop! Rest in peace, 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?!!!!!
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 ! ❤️
Eric, Dave Wally, Jim, Never got the recognition until later on. Every member as great as The Beatles
LIVE! No backing tracks, no lip sync!❤
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.

My childhood is slipping away. RIP Eric!
One of the best power pop bands of the 70’s. Eric Carmen is great singer songwriter
Adored this guy and his music
Love the “OH!!”🎶
& “YEAH!!”🎶
shouts in the chorus - adds so much to this GREAT song.
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.
Oh yeah, love them and thank you!
I turned 27 years old in 1973😊
Thanks for giving me some hope. I turned 13 that year!
I was 8. LOL.
The music back then was awesome!!!
24 in '73. Nice to know some fellow geezers are enjoying this, too. 😁
21❤
I was still a pre-teen. :)
RIP, Eric Carmen. The music just got better in heaven. Not that it was bad to begin with.
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.
these guys were one of the best pop bands around - absolutely killer singles

I'm glad I could see the drumming in this video. I love Eric and The Raspberries.❤
Man; what a total gem of a tune. Thank you; Eric, and The Raspberries, for making it a reality....
Great part of Cleveland and Rock and Roll History.
Brilliant!!!
My favorite Raspberries song.
One of the best!
Great band. RIP, Eric.
Forgot about this song. RIP Eric
Great camera work! I grew up with The Raspberries always on the radio. Very sad to hear the news about Eric Carmen. RIP Eric.

Excellent 👍🏻💯🎶🎵
"Close your eyes and be still" always creep'd me out
Thanks for the wonderful music Eric! Love you forever.❤
For a live and no sound tricks, his vocals are in perfect key. No flatness or sharp whatsoever.
Brings back fond memories .
The good old days when this song and Go All the Way were considered scandalous 😂!.
pure power pop...at its best !!
Thank you for this one! One of my favorites. Always makes me feel good to hear it.
Love it ❤❤ RIP Eric Carmen 🙏💔
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.
Look Ma ....No autotune!
First time hearing this. Cool song. Love the 12 string Ric.
We WON A CONCERT FROM THEM FOR WINNING THE "CAREFREE SUGARLESS GUM" CONTEST ACROSS THE ENTIRE U.S. ZION, ILLINOIS. GO ZEE BEES.
Eric Carmen, r.i.p., loved your songs .🥰
I love these songs beautiful.
Great homegrown American band!
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!!
