Either on an LP or an 8 track I'm guessing. Man, I wore out so many 8 tracks during that period, that it's ridiculous, but I don't regret a single dollar I spent, or the memories they gave me.
Wow....this was such a bittersweet show to watch and listen to. If I saw them onstage without an introduction, I'd have had no idea who they were, but when they got going, I knew exactly who they were. I was part of a band in High School(after hours) and Rare Earth was one band we tried so hard to sound like. We had permission to practice in the auditorium, but we wanted a live crowd to practice in front of for feedback. I did vocals and tambourine, sometimes playing it like a bongo, my best friend Steve was on lead guitar, and we had a bass man and drummer. Such memories and shear fun, during the days of integrating and consolidating the two high schools, and I was the only "spot" in our little group, but we were like a band of brothers. Race wasn't an issue with any of us. On Sundays we'd play in a Church after services were over, and always had a spill over crowd to listen to us, and build our confidence up. We never got far, but man was it fun while it lasted!! In watching the video, they've all aged so much, and the guy on lead guitar looked like he'd forgotten his bottom denture, and was wearing a 2XXL t shirt, but when it was time to kick it, he did exactly that, with grace and that "kick ass" style. I guess never judge a book by it's cover, 'eh? The drummer wasn't the original singer, but did he knock it out of the ballpark or what? He had that original Rare Earth sound and quality to his voice, and drumming while he sang. I hope he loves the bands music and legend enough to carry on the name for decades to come, and for future generations. Rare Earth was, to me, always left behind by some other groups of the same time period, but they hit your heart and mind just as powerful. As one commenter put it, they were "one of the most under rated, but talented acts ever", and I totally agree! Having been through hell with health issues, and now trying to start a ranch for homeless youth, "I just want to celebrate, another day of living!" We all should! ❤❤❤
first chance in Alburquerque NM got to play this tune with some fellows past the isleta bridge and eigth street and we jammed the tune "Get Ready" for three hours straight. Still to this day will never forget tune and this tune we played in the beginning of 1970.
Rare Earth. Been listening to them since the early 70's. Never at the top of my list of go to albums, but every year I'll pull them out and listen for a day or two. Definitely a great underrated band. I was fortunate to have lived in the Detroit area back then and they were played a lot.
Just happened to be at the Reno Air Races, maybe 25 years ago, and these guys were playing at a nightclub in one of the casinos! It was absolutely great! Ill never forget it!
this band came to my home town--Sault Ste Marie in like 1976--never heard of them but when concerts came we popped some acid and went---they were amazing--LOL
Peter Rivera WAS Rare Earth. Guy had so much soul that eminated out to the rest of the band. So many memories of that time if listening to their music .. wow.
It is majestic to remember this great band with all its successes in which was my time of youth, a time also where this wonderful music was enjoyed especially, (GET READY) a beautiful memory, thank you Rara Earth.
Pete Rivera was awesome. Saw the classic rock All-stars in 2008 I think. Members of Sugarloaf, Iron Butterfly, I forget who else. Pete Rivera has such a powerful voice.
Classic Rock All-Stars Peter Rivera - Drummer and lead vocalist from Rare Earth. Mike Pinera - Guitarist and vocalist from Blues Image and later Iron Butterfly. Jerry Corbetta - Keyboardist and lead vocalist from Sugarloaf. Dennis Noda - Bassist from The Cannibal and the Headhunters.
In spite of the haters out there, this is still a great performance. Sure we can wish all day that Peter Rivera was still apart of it, but he is not. I am happy this band didn't just quit because of that. I love these songs and in the bands current configuration they still sound great!
Grew up with this amazing band since second grade now lm almost 57 pretty long time but still sound great ..too bad drummer Rivera wasn't around he was the real heart and voice of the band
Indeed it's a crying shame Peter Rivera's MIA here. His drum playing and his voice were the very trademarks of Rare Earth. But hey no man is indispensable, for whatever reason why he ain't here the music still has to go on. Still love the guys left. For those who can't get enough of Peter here's a link of a live show from the 70s th-cam.com/video/Wne6z05rWH4/w-d-xo.html
I was guest of Rare Earth at a concert at edge water raceway around Cincinnati Ohio Got to know the original drummer, Mark the keyboard player. But a friend named Hippo Burdet who has passed who with myself.1978 Others bands there were Rick Derringer, and the band the Outlaws
I just finished trying to describe to my ten year old daughter, the life style of the professional rock musician. Its a very hard life as most of us know... even if you leave out the sex and drugs and all the bullshit. She was suitably impressed.
HAHAHAHA!!!!... BUT AND"BUTT" maybe leave out the "sh*t" too...! Just plain old technified techniques of standard classics in musical musician fundamentals applied to creative modern pop music composition of AND in musical musician musicianship arts and sciences featuring elements of roots rock n roll ROCK N SOUL R & B Rhythm and Soul.
too all the haters commenting on this you think you all know rare earth My step dad worked for Rare Earth in the early 90s and played in a band with Randy AKA Bird in 1982 bird became the base player for rare earth in 1985 after being and roadie for the band LOL i remember J.J Stokes driving his tractor in my back yard tilling grass these guys in this rare earth are true Detroit Michigan Natives....I remember my dad telling me stories about doing beer runs for Eddie and Randy and my dad getting chased out of the store because everyone thought it was macho man randy savage and Hulk Hogan I remember them telling me about the time they got the yellow Ryder truck stuck in the sand on Daytona Beach Florida....For all you haters here is a fun fact for you Eddie passed away and he is the only member not to be replaced in the band
I am what I call a family member of the Conga player Ed Guzman..who resided in Howell Michigan until his death the original, band use to rehearse there...once the main players disbursed and a couple passing on it was never the same...lost the feeling.. the keyboard player here owns a bed and breakfast in Waterford or Pontiac Mi..from what I can remember.
My introduction to Rare Earth was back in the day, the Ecology lp and then the One World lp.... WOWSA, both just fantastic! Been a fan ever since. They remind me of Tower of Power, but just a little more rockier. ❤❤
When people talk about the greatest live albums of the 1970s, Rare Earth In Concert often gets a name check and rightly so. Fierce and tight performances throughout.
Oh I destroyed the grooves on the back-pack live record..I played (a shitty cassette tape) of the whole record as I delivered newspapers in 1973 at 4 am...
Being able to effectively play any musical instrument and sing with out screwing one or both up incredible. In doing so, and damn well. In doing so Pete Rivera places himself in elite company. Ringo Starr, yeah I said it Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins ECT. Prob harder to drum and sing then anything else. Just the other day was watching Susan T. (Ted/Trucks Band) absolutely smoke a guitar 🎸 while wailing vocals as only she can and was amazed at her performance. This is why they do this for a living and we play in the back yard. Till the neighbors call the cops!
Thanks to mikes u are the best I'm the guy from Manhattan at the baking theater n also in Miami at the magic casino don't forget about the offer u make me when u come back to Miami I get to see you for free my dream is to be able to do it again
Kills me that the MC asked the crowd "who remembers these guys from the sixties?" when in fact only ONE guy on stage was in this band back then. A fucking legalistic crime that the sax player gets to own the name when Peter Rivera was the heart and soul of Rare Earth!
Just so you know ….. Pete left the band twice because of the same stuff he pulled that split the band the first time. When Rare Earth was at the very top of the charts, Peter had a bad case of the lead singer syndrome. He wanted the band to be called Peter Rivera and Rare Earth, and he wanted to fire some of the band members. All the guys were writing and they wanted to sing their own tunes, but Pete wasn't having it. That's just one of many things I'll share that happened. Pete froze the accounts and Rare Earth broke up, which left five men and their families without work. Litigations began and while awaiting trial over the name, it finally come to court in New York. Gil won the name of Rare Earth, and he worked all of his life doing what he loved best, making people happy with his Rare Earth. They were fantastic! They played to sold out crowds all over the world with cheering fans constantly jumping to their feet with joy for love of the music of Rare Earth. Gil was the one and only member of Rare Earth to play on every tune ever recorded, including when they were the Sunliners in the 50s and 60s, of which there were two drummers before Pete. Everyone that was ever around Gil knew that he was a kind, humble man who was one of the greatest sax players I've ever heard, and he had such a beautiful voice. He was a quiet man, but he knew that all the members of a group makes the band, not one person can stand alone. Gil's history and his legacy speaks for itself. His family reads this stuff, and we know that there are (the same) trolls posting the same ugly stuff on anything that’s uploaded regarding Gil. I ask you to refrain from negative comments. Just because he is gone, please don’t think his family won’t defend him.
Que bueno escuchar al Tierra Rara, yo crecí haciendo y escuchando su música, esa influencia musical de los 70. Se extraña la voz del baterista Pete Rivera. Gracias por este concierto
This is not the original drummer Peter Rivera, but he also sang while drumming. There are actually a lot of drummer singers, Levon Helm, Don Henley, Phil Collins. Just to name a few and to honest even though I don't play the drums I do sing and I think might be easier to sing and play the drums than it would be to play the Bass, since you have to stay ahead of the pocket. Meaning you have to delay you voice till just after playing you notes, something Paul McCartney does incredibly well.
I’ve played bass and sang. It’s hard but it’s not even on the same planet as drumming and singing. Most people can barely mumble while playing an intricate beat. There’s actually a scientific reason for it. There was an article in Modern Drummer about 15 yrs ago. Basically crossing the left and right hemisphere of the brain. It’s a rare talent.
It's cool that these guys are out having fun and making money, but I agree with several of you, who say that it isn't Rare Earth without the original drummer/singer. But I felt the same about Van Hagar, Journey, and remember Foreigner during their Unusual Heat touring? That wasn't Lou Gramm. I loved Rare Earth when I was very young. Had them on 8 track tape.

They were and hopefully still are phenomenal. Tell me what'd I say!!! Live!!! Hurt me honey
Rare Earth in Concert 1971 - played it continuously as a kid. Fantastic.
I was at the concert in 1971 here in Miami when they were recording...RARE EARTH IN CONCERT
@@cesarulisesrodriguez9724 I still play it today all the time. 20 or 30 minutes of Get Ready never gets old. I would have loved to be there, congrats.
@@sms9106 ...yeah John Persh was my favorite Bass player
Either on an LP or an 8 track I'm guessing. Man, I wore out so many 8 tracks during that period, that it's ridiculous, but I don't regret a single dollar I spent, or the memories they gave me.
I wore out one record and three tapes of that concert. You know, water and electricity don't go together, I can't get into that at all.
One of the most underrated, but talented acts ever. A great great band!
You're get the better of that👍
THESE GUYS SUCK WIND
Not underrated at all Rare Earth live sold pretty well and the album art was the best.
100% agreed!!
😂😂😂...but of course! The famous 'underrated' comment🦉 ... never misses⁉️
They can still rock out!!! Stay strong and healthy guys.
Rear earth, get ready long version....TIMELESS
We opened for these guys in Corpus Christi Texas about 20 years ago at a place called the sugar shack. Our name was About Time.
Wow....this was such a bittersweet show to watch and listen to.

We never got far, but man was it fun while it lasted!! In watching the video, they've all aged so much, and the guy on lead guitar looked like he'd forgotten his bottom denture, and was wearing a 2XXL t shirt, but when it was time to kick it, he did exactly that, with grace and that "kick ass" style. I guess never judge a book by it's cover, 'eh? The drummer wasn't the original singer, but did he knock it out of the ballpark or what?

Rare Earth Is a very underrated band. One of the greatest.
Wow I'm a rare earth fan from the beginning and I love to celebrate
I'm always READY for these guys !!
Make me feel young again. They're still great.
Que tiempos más buenos 😅😅
first chance in Alburquerque NM got to play this tune with some fellows past the isleta bridge and eigth street and we jammed the tune "Get Ready" for three hours straight. Still to this day will never forget tune and this tune we played in the beginning of 1970.
Serious talent!! Not only that but the all looked like they were having fun while doing it!! Awesome! Glad I reconnected with them on TH-cam!
But they are sooo bad.
Fantastic Band.
Ayer hoy mañana y siempre TIERRA EXTRAÑA.
Yesterday today tomorrow and forever. A. Velo
Rare Earth in Concert listened to them continously from 75 to 79 during my undergrad days. Tops.
Rare Earth. Been listening to them since the early 70's. Never at the top of my list of go to albums, but every year I'll pull them out and listen for a day or two. Definitely a great underrated band. I was fortunate to have lived in the Detroit area back then and they were played a lot.

Pete Rivera's real name was Peter Hoorelbek & I agree they not the same without him.....The Willie Remebers ......album was my favorite by Rare Earth
Peter Rivera WAS Rare Earth. Guy had so much soul that eminated out to the rest of the band. So many memories of that time if listening to their music .. wow.
I love all of Rare Earth music but my favorite album is Rare Earth in Concert 1971 . A total rush from first to last note of sound.
Pp
T his music IS from m'y généràtion ans i feel good this one...!!!
Para mi fue un Mundo y Ecología, los mejores álbumes, lo afirma un Disjoker de los 70 .

Peter left the band 50 years ago
Pete Rivera was my idol as a young drummer. I sang also. Journey's drummer is an incredible singer. They are not the same without Pete Rivera.
Agree. Peter Rivera was the driving force of the original Rare Earth.
Indeed it's a crying shame Peter Rivera's MIA here. His drum playing and his voice were the very trademarks of Rare Earth.

I don't even know which decade I saw them last, may have been the 80's, but I'd sure go see them again.

They are totally different than TOP
Love..love...and love!
So Tight!! ❤️
My band''Tension'' opened for Rare Earth in 1970 at the New Haven Arena.....I am also a drummer that sings..

The back pack live album spent a lot of time on the turntable. Course Peter was an integral part of the band…not the same without him.
Not anything.......
Oh I destroyed the grooves on the back-pack live record..I played (a shitty cassette tape) of the whole record as I delivered newspapers in 1973 at 4 am...
Excellent groupe pour d'autres prestations plus connues. Batteur-chanteur extraordinaire.
A voir et à entendre sans modération.
GRANDE BANDA QUE MARCOU UMA ÉPOCA DE OURO DA MÚSICA. AINDA ESCUTO EM VINIL ORIGINAL.
Si, yo aun escuchando este gran tema¡¡¡
Fabulous, I love it
WOW!!!😮 so rare!
Being able to effectively play any musical instrument and sing with out screwing one or both up incredible. In doing so, and damn well. In doing so Pete Rivera places himself in elite company. Ringo Starr, yeah I said it Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins ECT. Prob harder to drum and sing then anything else. Just the other day was watching Susan T. (Ted/Trucks Band) absolutely smoke a guitar 🎸 while wailing vocals as only she can and was amazed at her performance. This is why they do this for a living and we play in the back yard. Till the neighbors call the cops!
Diamond of the Ohio Players was another phenom, Karen Carpenter and Mickey Dolenz especially on Pleasant Valley Sunday(live).
Como me lembro do meu pai quando escutávamos juntos !!!! Adoro essa banda!!! Rare 4eva!!!!
That was just awesome!
year make´s me thinking about good old times ! Thank you for watching
This was the only poster on my teenage room wall :) 1975- ❤️
Rare Earth 🌍!! ❤️
Sounds like I remember. Great job Dudes 🤘🏻🎸⚡️🎶💯
Well you remember it not good than. Look up some videos from Peter Rivera. He sounds like it sounded back than. Not this shit
great old music, Whitfield feeling around, thank you!
Ron bring in great rockers to this venue..to that stage..and theatre..that theatre now should be a shirne..to rock and roll..and music..
Sweet!!❤️🎵

Paul La Bonte MArk King Level 42 Best Slap Bassist and sings nicely too
+Paul La Bonte The late Karen Carpenter too.
+Paul La Bonte Sting seemed to handle it pretty well too
True most people forget Karen Carpenter was a great singer & excellent drummer (her first instrument)
I’ve played bass and sang. It’s hard but it’s not even on the same planet as drumming and singing. Most people can barely mumble while playing an intricate beat.
There’s actually a scientific reason for it. There was an article in Modern Drummer about 15 yrs ago. Basically crossing the left and right hemisphere of the brain. It’s a rare talent.
I saw them when they came to Cleveland Ohio can’t remember the year but Big John was very popular ❤
Without Peter Rivera playing drums and singing, there is no Rare Earth.
Hasn't been the same since Mark Olson passed, but it's still good__c'mon.
fo real!!
You are so wrong.
esto es talento..estos viejos tocan como el primer dia geniales..
Im not gonna lie, Iam here for the sax.😂 Love rare earth since the early 70s. Im old. 😂
Uno de los mejores grupos de los años 70, aunque mas adultos pero Maestros del Sonido TIERRA RARA.
OH SO AMERICAN AMAZING!! ❤️❤️❤️
Badass for a bunch of old guys!
mi mejor banda de mi vida,recuardo tan bonitos y es la musica que entienden los fanaticos del grupo
la mejor epoca mano

Maybe not the original singer/drummer, but he STILL had that Rare Earth quality to his voice, and he ROCKED IT!!
I drummed viciously and sang for years. I still have my Shure head mike, and I'm 65. No Peter Rivera, no Rare Earth.
The story wasn't a good
one.Eddie Guzman was
murdered.
Who's the lead vocalist\
drummer in the video?
@@toneyisaiah408 How do you know that ? In 1993 ??? Murdered or died on cancer ? The bass player ( John Parrish) died in 1981 - drugs ???
@@toneyisaiah408 That is the most ludicrous statement I've ever heart. Eddie truly died of alcoholism.
