Well this would be my proposal of sets and costume changes all these songs I love and would pay to see live I like the variety of song types and styles and feel that with a little teaking this would be a great show and one I would pay to see. Just for fun I put it like I was asked to put together a show by Karen and Richard I can dream can't I?


Someday Highly underrated song well done and Karen could rework this song to her satisfaction since she was displeased with the original. A suitable opening song due to the long piano opening showcasing Richard as Karen walks out to sing the vocal simular to the way later Carpenters shows were set up.

Crescent Noon - One of Karens finest vocals turn the lights down put the spotlight on Karen and have her sing this one in an intimate mood setting atmosphere you cant go wrong with this one.

Eve - Great Vocal Karen on drums a stronger song off of Offering worthy of any set list

Baby It's You - Another amazing vocal by Karen slightly lower the tempo but keep it somewhat upbeat,

Costume Change

One Love - Beautiful song and sung so well by Karen this wuld make a great addition to the set list

Ordinary Fool - With a vocal like that this song needs to be heard live just a great track.

Maybe It's You - great sweet song excellent arrangement and a strong track off of CTY

A Place To Hideaway - A familiar song a great song Karen could insert this one to lighten the mood after some heavier songs.

Costume Change

When It's Gone _ Haunting vocal and a country/acustic flavor one of the more nood setting songs

Two Sides _ another Great song a favotite of alot of people it would be simply great to hear this contry flavored gem live.

You - This song has hit written all over it it is a fan favorite so is almost manditory to go on a set list.

This Masquerade - with a wonderful jazz flavored vocal and a great arrangement this is another must have in any set list one of Karens finest vocal offerings

Crystall Lullaby - this sweet song is a great mood breaker taking the fans away from the heavier material to an inocent nice place,

Costume Change

One More Time - Again a fine album cut that is worthy of any set list to expose people to something they may not have heard from the C's

Another Song - Turn up the tempo a bit showcase Karens drumming ability and tear down the place,

Look To Your Dreams - A song of hope and a favorite of Karens this song is another that we missed out on seeing live and would be great to hear. A fitting closing song leaving the audience with a sense of hope and a simple message and Richard piano at the end of the song is fitting to close out the show.

Ms. Karen Carpenter!

Audience claps as opening of instrumental begins...with photos never seen before of Karen show up on screen. Medley is Close To You intro...seguing into We've Only Just Begun, Superstar, Rainy Days, and ending into a snippet of Karen singing LIVE to Bless The Beasts and the Children...and then she walks out and crowd errupts in applause, whistling, and yelling.

Karen is wearing a purple pantsuit...leather...with a white frilly blouse underneath. She is wearing high heel stillettos. Her hair is curly and long.

BLESS THE BEASTS AND THE CHILDREN

CRYSTALL LULLABY

She leaves while clips of her singing her "HITS" are playing on video screen. About 10 minutes worth.

Karen comes back and she is wearing a long evening gown. Red silk. No shoulder straps. She is wearing pale pink tulle around her arms as a wrap. Her hair is swept up. She is wearing some nice jewelry.

When It's Gone It's Just Gone

Kiss Me The Way You Did Last Night

Karen leaves again for another wardrobe change.
Clips of her doing her drum solo are showcased. She comes out wearing jeans and "Lead sister" T shirt. Everyone notices and applauses.

Karen reminisces. She sings.

A PLACE TO HIDEAWAY

TWO SIDES

I JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA


Karen leaves and comes back wearing skirt and tailored shirt with vest overtop. She has a jacket draped over her shoulder, and her famous hat for the SPACE ENCOUNTERS special...fedora...

She sings

AT THE END OF A SONG

ANOTHER SONG

LOOK TO YOUR DREAMS

She leaves as piano fades out.

APPLAUSE and then she comes back for encore...
