I have a copy of Live At BBC which aired in 1971. I really enjoy this performance - especially the Bacharach/David medley. Karen sings the ballads "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "For All We Know" beautifully and to perfection in this live performance. But I believe my copy is is missing a few songs as it has something like five songs on it.
Does anybody here have this performance in it's entirety? What is the song listing?

Hi Rick -
I have this performance in its entirety...would have to check but I think it goes something like:
Close to you (intro) Help Love Is Surrender
Superstar And When He Smiles Rainy Days And Mondays
For All We Know I Fell In Love With You
Bacharach/David Medley (album version)
Sometimes Close To You We've Only Just Begun
This is just off the top of my head - maybe someone can correct me! If not, I will check for you Rick...I think that guy (Tony Joe-White) has two solo spots + Rich talks before BB medley and Karen thanks the audience right before WOJB.

Hi Leo...
Thank you.
The DVD I have has only:
Help Superstar Rainy Days And Mondays For All We Know Bacharach/David Medley (album version) Close To You We've Only Just Begun
I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for the full length concert.
I wonder why the one I have is edited. It's a recording from the airing of the concert sometime around 1997 on VH1 - maybe VH1 edited it for their airing.

Thanks for posting the links Mary. I am totally grateful for your kindness. Though, I don't have much luck with YouTube as I'm still on normal dial-up and the videos don't load - also, YouTube, for some reason makes my computer freeze.
I'm not sure but I think the airing with the VH1 logo is the shortened edition of the concert - which is what I have on DVD - does anybody know this?
Since, I'm unable to watch the YouTube links maybe someone can list the songs shown on these links.
...gee, I really need to get a high speed connection so I can watch some of these videos!

Hi Rick -
I didn't know that VH1 had shown Live at The BBC. The copy I have even has the original BBC1 chalk (clipper) board at the beginning so I am pretty sure it came from BBC archive in it's entirety.
Happy Birthday by the way!

Just to let u know I have a load of Cs stuff mainly recorded direct from TV on video. Very poor quality to pretty good despite mainy copies done from them. I will in the new year get the vids out & tell what I actually do have & list the contents. As Im not at home at the mo the list I do know I have is as follows. Christmas Special 1977/& 1978/ 1st TV 1976/Close Encounters 1978/Live at BBC 1971 Full Length/London Bridge Special/Japan Special 1984-5/make Your Own Kinda Music/Another Japanese Special/& Music Music Music/ K C Story/Yesterday Once More 1985/Remembering Cs/Interpretations/& a compilation of memorabillia items from various clips/Tv shows & articles/ Karens Wedding Audio only/Radio Two Special Tribute K C (audio only) I also Have a special Japenese vid auto bio of the Cs which is done by actors with their faces fuzzed out with contributions made by Agnes/Rich/ Herb/& a few others while Cs songs are played in the back ground but I cannot remember what the prog is called. Circa 1991 I think was when it came out.It is abosolutely fabulos & I still cry when I see it as it was so well done..Good ole Japan. I will be back with an updated account of all in the new year.

Happy Birthday by the way! Thank you Leo for the birthday wish. That is very kind of you.
That is the edition of the BBC broadcast I will eventually get. A friend of mine has a copy which I can copy once I visit.

Hi Rick. I would do a copy for you, but the color isn't great...Karen's skin is very yellow - she looks like Marge Simpson! If you don't manage to get a copy from your friend let me know...
Leo
