Such a great time in music! Midnight Special showcased the musicians. Before days of wifi and noise. It was about the music. We had a groove thang! Loved Rare Earth. Thanks for sharing!
I'll also bet that you didn't know that "BERRY GORDY" who owned "MOTOWN" had a "RECORD LABEL" named after "RARE EARTH"? "RARE EARTH RECORDS" was indeed "THE LABEL"!! 🙏😇👌👍✌️🙏
The first rock music I ever remember hearing was Rare Earth. My dad had an 8-track of the Get Ready album. Great stuff! Ecology is also a great album. Their cover of "(I Know) I'm Losing You" is epic!
The anticipation was great what a band got to party with them back in the day in Miami during one of their shows in a nice little club my friends knew the music but didn't know the band it was quite a night they did two shows we partied with them in between sets what a night ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
How much talent is poured into this song by one of the supergroups of those years. Rare Earth, what a tremendous band they were playing live, here in this song they didn't need to simulate anything, they had everything to do it live without losing any of their talent when recording in the studio. Thank you TMS once again for sharing these great performances that you had saved, these musical memories are part of music history!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I heard of Rare Earth but never heard their music. I like what I'm hearing. 75% of the music I listen to is 70's rock. I'm an X Gener who was a child when this great music was out.
This is the "version 2" lineup of Rare Earth. Bassist John Persh, keyboardist Kenny James, and guitarist Rod Richards had been replaced by Mike Urso, Mark Olson, and Ray Monette, respectively.
MY FATHER LOVED THIS GROUP AND THIS SONG WAS BLASTED ON THE RECORD PLAYER LOUDLY BACK IN THE 1970’s. I SAW THE GROUP BACK IN SUMMER OF 1993 AT THE MERCANTILE EXCHANGE HERE IN CHICAGO. THE FLUTE SOUNDS IS EVERYTHING IN THIS SONG.
Rare Earth é uma das bandas mais injustiçadas, pois tem uma musicalidade ímpar além de ser uma poucas bandas em que o vocalista é também o baterista da mesma.
Saw your comment and acknowledged the same. I don’t know how far back they go but I want to say this seems like a few years gone by. They would sound really great on surround sound up loud.
They were on Motown's Rare Earth subsidiary but the company had many white bands before and since the group Rare Earth recorded for the label. The Jaguars, Underdogs, The Messengers, The Ones, Rustix, Power Of Zeus, The Cats, Duke Jupiter. Several years prior to his funk period, Rick James fronted the racially integrated Mynah Birds, which included pre-Buffalo Springfield Neil Young on guitar.
@@kevingoins9858 Greetings from Serbia. This is Willie Remembers line up. When I was teenager I mail ordered 5 copies of the Willie Remembers , sold 4 and still have one copy in mint condition. There was Rare Earth logo inside suitable for iron transfer to t-shirts and I was wearing one such t-shirt when I was 17.
Peter Hoorelbeke (a.k.a. Peter Rivera) by far my favorite drummer not only can he play drums he is an excellent singer also.
One of my all time favorite vocalist, Pete Rivera and Rare Earth!
Such a great time in music!

Loved Rare Earth.
Thanks for sharing!
Cool. And definitely all live! His voice is one of the best in the biz, I think. Did not know they were a Motown band! Groovy as all get out.

The only white band that was chosen by Motown to be on their label.
Very talented group
Always loved this band , the drummer is awesome
Super groove. Love the flute!
My dad had this LP in his collection and this was my go-to fave track- this and their cover of Eleanor Rigby!🎉😊
(This live version is decidedly waaaaay more chill than the studio version!) 😮
Rare Earth live has a great album cover.

So much talent in 60s and 70s, still finding bands to listen to anew 50 yrs on 🔥

Playing the drums with eyes closed too
He seemed to do that a lot.
Great song/band. Thank you.
Rare Earth, un supergrupo sin duda alguna!
I heard of Rare Earth but never heard their music. I like what I'm hearing. 75% of the music I listen to is 70's rock. I'm an X Gener who was a child when this great music was out.
check out their cover of I Know I'm losing you. They were a great jam band
Great version.
My very first Concert. Way back in the day. The Jimmy Castor Bunch (Troglodyte) opened.
Super duper underrated I hope they at least get a rock and roll Hall of Fame this group is so awesome. I love bands where the drummer is the vocalist
Wow! Never heard this one before! I'll be back again!
What A Great Song Great Band Cool To See Them In 2024

7 min version is great. Not available on any cd.
RARE EARTH

I saw them in concert back in the 70's, and they were...
#SENSATIONAL!
🤦♂️

They didn't just get ready.😉
That dude with the flute at the begining or whatever that is. 🔥
Lovely flute and miss it like moody blues
👏👏👏

🔥❤️🎼‼️🤘🏼
Flutist Gil Bridges was the only original member still in the band until he passed. Now not one original member in the line up.
What about ray monette? Where is he playing?

wicked
Video has been up for five hours and no one has commented on their age yet.

I'm 10,000 Years Old
This was 1974 so maybe they were early 20's.
I think they were on the Motown label ...the only white band on Motown records

Traffic used flutes quite a bit and I loved it😎
Ain't Life Grand
Singing drummers are always superior to singing guitarists.
