Mr. Guder song and performance...

[cam83]

HI All,
I was watching the LIVE AT THE BUDOKAN video and I love seeing Karen on here. I like her blue outfit with Raggedy Anne woven into the material...on her pants...Karen looks healthy. I was listening to the song MR GUDER and it is a masterpiece, the way they perform it...their are some slight changes from the album version...but it's still great. I love Karen's drumming and her little solos in that song. I also like where she is ready to add her fast harmonies near the end of the song, you can see the look she gives as if to say, "Here we go again with the harmonies" and you see her take a deep breath. That was always one song the impressed me, was how she could rapidly sing those notes and stay constant with it while the others began to add their harmonies...amazing!

My thoughts,
Cam

Mr. Guder has also always been one of my favorites for the same reasons. I really like the bada at the end. Very impressive vocal technique. I've always called this song jazz influenced - as a lot of the "Close To You" album is.

I do not own the "Live At Budokan" video/DVD, this is my next must get.

hi everyone..I truly agree with you Cam about the Budokan video. It's kind of a rushed show but they were at their usual best. I always loved Mr. Guder too. I wonder what he thinks or thought about it. It would be an honor to be included in such a fun and excellent song. How in the world did they ever click so well and perfectly on the bada bada part? And surely they had to have some water or tea or something on the side now and then to wet their whistles..huh..I'm sure they had to.
Anyway, yes, that outfit is really cute and I know she liked raggedy anne and mickey mouse stuff.
So far, the Budokan video is the only one I have of them, but definitely have several on a wish list.
And yes, Mr. Rick, and everyone else, you need the Budokan for your collection. You have so many I have on my wish list too.

I also love Karen doing the OLDIES medley...she is amazing...she puts so much of herself into that song...or selection of songs...and I love her doing SING...and singing with the kids...that must have been very special...on Murray Schindel's website...he has some clips on his Listening Room...and one is K and R singing in Holland the song SING...and it's unlike anything you have heard...His website also has the version of Because We Are In Love sung by Karen the day before the wedding...and used at her wedding...very very slight differences. And her beautiful LIVE recording of I NEED TO BE IN LOVE is amazing!!!!
