One of the greatest female voices ever showcased on the planet. This wonderful lady sang like an angel from 1969 to 1983. Her brother Richard was also amazing to recognize his sister's vocal talent and to create a world of music which allowed the everyone to enjoy in a timeless style. Thanks !!!
This concert never gets old, is always fresh. Hard to believe this concert is 36 years old, but it is, my how time flys. Richard, I am so proud of you, I'm sure that Karen is smiling down at you. You have carried the Carpenters torch well. I wish I could give you a Life time achievement award for all that you do! And yes, Karen was a Marvolus Soul, but so are you. Karen was a precious gift, a borrowed Angel, for the time she had with us she made millions of people Happy, What a beautiful spirit
Voice of an Angel, Eyes of God. This is my favorite concert of all time, I was 5 years old & to this day I have never seen anything even close that could top the Talent of Karen & Richard. Their band was second to none, & the stage communication was tremendous. They were having a great time doing what they enjoyed doing. We recently lost guitarist Tony Peluso in early June I was shocked to hear this, rest well my brother. Richard, Doug Strawn & all Thank You for being such an inspiration!!!
Absolutely amazing! What a band! I always read that they were stellar in concert but never heard till now. Peluso's solo on Goodbye to Love is priceless.
She's here..she left us everything here on Wax..her spirit is beaming.Listen to her and you can feel her presence in the music. One form left us for the timeless Soul to resonate forever,.R.I.P. Karen and Thank You
The Carpenters at the top of their game. Certainly for me one of the most memorable concerts of all time. I'm still wondering why this doesn't have at least five million views. It would be fair to say I'm partial to The Carpenters.
um grande talento que ela foi e nao tinha pretensao de ser estrela embora fosse na esencia nao tinha as frescuras de muitas cantoras de hoje que exirgem tanta coisa s ddsnecessarias e o que epior as vezes nao canta grandes coisas karen era o opsto de tudo isso super profissional como toda banda alem de ser educada gentil e inteligente entendia do seu trabalho junto com seu amado irmao muito obrigado karen e richard por todo divertimento em suas cancoes para mim que creio na ressureicao e um atd breve DEUS tem nos confortado atraves de sua palavra e de seu legado ate breve queridos karen peluso doug
I never got to see The Carpenters live...I thought i had plenty of time...Sadly that was not the case...Thanks for sharing this video look at what i always hoped to see in person...The music lives on...and it's just as strong...just as strong as it ever was!
The overdubs are not missed when they performed live. In fact, it has more organic, soulful sound without the fluff. Karen was unsurpassed in her day, then and now.
it's odd, but even after thirty-five years of hearing that tune....when Karen gets to the 'ahhhhhhhhhhh- ahhh- ahhh-ahhh-ah' bit -I absolutely turn to jelly and am not ashamed to admit it :d
dabebe39: What's your point? Some kids can accept older music to a limited degree as "oldies," after it has aqed enough to be taken as "oldies" rather than "so last year." The Carpenters are so awesome that many people are going to recognize their greatness, but that didn't stop them from totally and unrecoverably going out of style in 1979 when Sid Vicious seemed cool. Just like The Beatles made Neil Sedaka seem passé, as with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Green Day, etc.
friggya: To whom are you speaking? When you say "your music," to whom are you referring? Whose music will fall into a dark hole in 20 years? It doesn't matter. The very fact that any epoch's music enjoys critical and popular success shows that that music has value to people. Pop music targets and appeals to a narrow age range, 13 to 25. That's just the way it is. If you are outside that range you won't like it and you're not supposed to like it. Nobody wants old 30 year old farts hanging around.
Love the Carpenters ! Karen looks haggard and skinny . At the beginning slightly out of tune ! She hardly goes out of tune . Looked like something's bothering her . Not her usual self . Just my observation .

Her vocals are out of this world. I wish we had more vocals that solid today.
this is absolutely beautiful. she was and still is the best singer i have ever heard.

The incredibly STRONG vibration of fragile artistic genius is SO tangible from her performance you must be made of stone to not be moved.

I seen.them.in 1973 I was 22 years old .i am 69 years old now.karen she would be 70 years old now I still like.them.i think Karen sings so lovely VA.
I couldn't possibly hit the like button enough times.
Karen is as beautiful as a human being can be at this point in her life.
goodbye to love is sad karen carpenter was a beauiful person and drumer its sad anerorixa controlled her life
il n'y a pas de justice.....encore moins de Dieu ..
You can find a fair number of live performances here on UA-cam.
Thanks for posting this! What a treat to see them LIVE! Don't like the lip-synching that's in many of their videos!

Has there ever been a better song in the history of pop than 'Goodbye To Love'?
I Love Richard with the double pump bow to the crowd as if to say Clap for me too I'm the reason your hearing it, ok we have a performance to do.
i love it!!! amazing!!!
¡Qué rostro! ¡qué manos! ¡qué caderas (2:48)! ¡qué pelo (4:48)! ¡Qué vozzzzzz! ¡Diossssss!
I so totally agree with you !
She was so perfect in every sence , why did she destroy herself, makes me so sad someone so beautiful would do that that to themselves :-(
i agree, the overdubs are not missed, they sound great with just her voice and not all of the fancy schmancy effects
it's odd, but even after thirty-five years of hearing that tune....when Karen gets to the 'ahhhhhhhhhhh- ahhh- ahhh-ahhh-ah' bit

武道館に来たのか・・・

Dataladay91..Just believe and you will ..
What a juxtaposition when you have Karen's flawless vocals to these guys screaming.
@chuyfitz No! Speechless!!
@BijanParandeh Brother, Yes

@eric251982 i dont know what it was either,but i agree 100%
@ahfaxthis brother?
Good but karen needs to be behind the drumset singing
I have some questions. Is there a DVD made from this concert, and if there is, is it available in music stores? Please respond.
Yes. I am sure you know it by now.
Sigourney Weaver. lol
