New Moments To Treasure

[wisejester7]

Thanks to You Tube I now have new Carpenter moments to treasure.

I love to watch and hear the PURE JOY in Karen as she is performing Mr. Guder from the 1974 Belgium tour.

I have to laugh at the antics of their Grease send-off.
Does anyone know what the audience member shouts to her when she sings 'I'm no object of lust'? It stops her cold in her tracks for a second and everyone laughs.

It's interesting to compare the early (1971/2?) Mr. guder with the 1974 version.

The 1972 Australia film showing Karen playing her drums and singing is fantastic. Between this and the '74 M.Guder film you can really see what/how Karen plays those drums of hers.

There is a lot to see and enjoy.

Hi Wisejester I have the entire 1976 Holland concert which includes the Grease Medley in which Karen so humorously sings "Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee". Karen was a real funny lady. I will have to listen closely to the part you mention to hear what thie person from the audience yells out.

I first saw this video and the others mentioned back in 2001 when I bought my computer. Now, I have acquired almost all of these on DVD - they are fun to watch on my very own television.

Ooo, I bet it is much better to watch the DVD's at your own pace. I don't have much of a Carpenters DVD/video collection, yet. A lot of the things I've seen though seem pretty fuzzy.
Rick, do you have clear visuals of the Carps or did you not have much luck in finding that clarity?
Just curious.

Most of what I have (of course with the exception of the officially released DVD's) is fuzzy and some are fuzzy and dark.

These DVD's are bootleg recordings done from archaic hand held recorders in the 70's. Some of these are recordings from TV and back in the 70's our technology wasn't the best.

You can find most of these items sold in Ebay. Do a search for Carpenters (in DVD's & Movies). You can also do a similar search in DVD's & Movies for Karen Carpenter - this will also bring up several items.
