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.
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!!
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.
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 ...

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
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.
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.
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 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
“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 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 band! ❤❤❤❤💘All the men are goodlooking! I love Eric, gorgeous voice! ( Eric is now resting in heaven with the angels😇) My other fave is Wally Bryson. Great guitarist, and he is dancing and smiling, enjoying himself performing.🥰❤❤❤❤
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.
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.

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!! 😊😊😊
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.
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!
Eric Carmen had one of the most beautiful voices in all of 70s rock. The Raspberries were a great band, and definitely racked up a number of great songs like Go All The Way, I Wanna Be With You and Tonight. Eric Carmen’s solo career also included the hits All By Myself and Hungry Eyes.
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
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.
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
💔
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.

Amen to that.
RIP Eric Carmen, thanks for the tunes & memories.
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.
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
@@julenepegher6999 Cheers 🥂
I was a junior in high school and loved this song ❤
The sound of coming of age during summers at Wildwood NJ. Thanks for the music, Eric!
Another winner from The Midnight Special!
RIP Eric Carmen I’m gonna miss you,
you made our world a better place with the fabulous music.🕊️🎶❤😿
Great music no auto tune etc. Rip Eric
Bands like the raspberries and circus put Cleveland on the map RIP Eric ❤
Love the “OH!!”🎶
& “YEAH!!”🎶
shouts in the chorus - adds so much to this GREAT song.

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.
Rest easy, Eric ❤
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.
Eric, Dave Wally, Jim, Never got the recognition until later on. Every member as great as The Beatles
Just good old fashioned pop music.👍
Ultimate power pop! Rest in peace, Eric.
I forgot about this little beauty RIP Eric❤
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?!?
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?!!!!!
My favorite song when I was a little kid in the '70s and still gets me revved up in the '20s.
Man; what a total gem of a tune. Thank you; Eric, and The Raspberries, for making it a reality....
RIP Eric Carmen. You were one of the best. Thank you for all the fantastic music.💋♥️
One of the best power pop bands of the 70’s. Eric Carmen is great singer songwriter
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.
My childhood is slipping away. RIP Eric!
Tight. Nice guitar work.
Great old song.

The Kings of Power Pop.
RIP Eric Carmen.
Eric you had that beautiful velvet
voice that every time i heard a
Raspberries song i could listen for hours
RIP Eric Carmen. You will be missed.
I hope someone writes a biography of this beautiful man someday
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.
Love the Raspberries ❤. 64 and grew up in the best of the best music era 🙏🙏🙏
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. The music just got better in heaven. Not that it was bad to begin with.
Oh yeah, love them and thank you!
Thank you for this one! One of my favorites. Always makes me feel good to hear it.
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 … 😛

The good old days when this song and Go All the Way were considered scandalous 😂!.
Eric - you had me at 'Overnight Sensation'. You will never be forgotten!
Now that's the stuff!
My favorite Raspberries song.
Brilliant!!!
Simply put….great underrated talent.
Wally is a great guitarist. RIP Eric.
Such pristine footage, performance of The Raspberries on The Midnight Special. Cheers. 🍷
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.
First time hearing this. Cool song. Love the 12 string Ric.
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!!
Music has changed so much through the years. And sadly, not for the better…..
1975 I was 8 years old and this was my favorite tune from an album of my mother’s.
Great band. RIP, Eric.
They had a GREAT catalog of songs! God I miss that era!
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!! 😊😊😊
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.
One of the best!
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. :)
Forgot about this song. RIP Eric
I'm 64 this was the best
Back when music was great!
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.❤
RIP, I love your music, when I was a teenager, and to me your music has never died. We will remember always.
Always top drawer. This band unreal super. Thanks for years of terrific music.
this sounds live... beautiful background vocals these guys did it all
For a live and no sound tricks, his vocals are in perfect key. No flatness or sharp whatsoever.
Brings back fond memories .
pure power pop...at its best !!
What a perfect guitar driven sound Raspberries had.
Thanks for the wonderful music Eric! Love you forever.❤
