A Different Look and Sound

[GoodOldDreams]

Some months back there were a couple of threads about the Carpenters' humor and their popularity in Holland. Especially for those of you who are just learning more about the vast repertoire of the Carpenters, I just came across a video clip of them in concert in Holland, replacing the "oldies medley" after "Yesterday Once More" with a surprisingly wacky rendition of a few numbers from the retro musical "Grease," with Richard and Karen looking and sounding like you probably have never seen or heard before! Tony "The Bone" Peluso is on top of his form doubling as a manic DJ. Check them out at:

You've got to admit...they weren't afraid to take chances...or to poke a little fun at themselves,

[YesterdayOnceMore]

LOVED it! I've heard this medley before, but hadn't ever seen it - it was GREAT. Thanks, Dreams, for bringing it to our attention.

True, WJ7 - they DID take chances - that's part of what made them so great and so much fun!

I am very fortunate to have the entire 1976 Holland concert on DVD - it's great - the Grease medley is my favorite part of the show - they did an excellent job with it and Karen is truly a riot.
