I Need To Be In Love-VIDEO

[cam83]

Hi All,
I just watched the entire video of I NEED TO BE IN LOVE, and it is cute. Karen looks beautiful and sophisticated. Richard is cute too, and he looks so funny, when, in the video, he is looking at this cute girl on the plane, and that girl's bf is not too pleased and shows to Richard, that this is MY girl, and the look on Richard's face is priceless. Also, Mary Rudolph is the girl who walks by Rich and Karen, outside the LAX airport, as they are signing autographs. She is Mark "BEAR" Rudolph's sister(adopted, I have heard from sources...her mother is Bernice...Agnes younger sister)

My thoughts,
Cameron

Cam, where can I get a copy of the I Need To Be In Love video? I've never seen it. Your description of it makes it seem fantastic.

Hi Rob,
I downloaded it on win mx. Easy as that. It's really good quality, and Karen looks stunning on it.

I second that one this is a nice video and K&R do have that cute look and the video seems to be light hearted I enjoy seeing it. Dispite its light atmosphere I found it touching it really told the story of what the song was all about. You could see Karen was on the light side(sorry but I do notice these things) but she looked beautiful in the video. Something I want to know maybe Cam or anyone else who has seen this video who are the actors/actresses in it? some like the girl you mentioned look awfully familiar and I did see a young David Hasselhoff (Night Rider Baywatch etc) in it.

I have only seen bits of it from Carpenters' specials from PBS or VH1. When the Carpenters are signing autographs outside LAX, a "hunk" walks by and catches Karen's eye. I don't know his name, but he replaced John Travolta as a new character on Welcome Back Kotter. I have also seen him in various 70's shows like Love Boat and Fantasy Island. I haven't seen the entire thing, so I think I will download it off the site Cam mentioned.

I really love that video, Karen really could have been in movies or stuff on TV drama's, etc..... she really is good at acting I was able to get the whole thing on the Japanese version of yesterday once more DVD, through Amazon.com, when I bought it I didn't know that I Need To Be In Love was on it till, to my surprise and delight that song started playing yahoooooooooo was I ever a happy camper wow

[Sammy]

I've only seen a portion of this video I think it's in the PBS documentary Close To You: Rmembering The Carpenters. I'm hoping Richard finally includes this on the upcoming DVD release he's working on in conjunction with the new SACD.

I just found out that the whole video of I Know I Need To Be In Love is also on the video carpenters Forever 2002 coooooool

A friend of mine sent me a VHS
tape about 2yrs ago titled Carpenters 2000 and it contains
the I Need to Be In Love video.
I use to work in aviation and
its interesting to note the Western
Airlines L1011 in the video. Talk
about feeling old!!
I need to contact this person and
ask for more details about its
production. I have never heard anyone mention it which is strange.
The video is very unique.
It begins with Richard driving the
red Jaguar from the Now and Then
album cover thre LA, south into
Hollywood and ending up in Downey
where he pulls the car right into
the exact spot from the Now and Then album cover.
Has anyone seen this?

[BethMosior]

Hi JGH, I love that video, I just got it a few month ago and I just love it I wish that I could get it on DVD so I don't ruin this video, for it also has Richard introducing all his children, that was really cooooooooool

[BethMosior]

I forgot to say in that video 'Carpenters forever 2002' that Richard also sings one of his new Christmas songs' Together At Christmas Again' which is VERY beautiful

The only video footage I have of the Carps is a video I checked out back in 1994 that was made back in 1985. Something like 'The Carpenters' Singles Collection' with "Only Just Begun", "Beechwood", "Interplanetary Craft", "Close To You" videos on it. I really hope I could rent or buy more of their videos! Any live concerts taped on video or DVD out?

[JIM]

Hey Beth! I have been telling people about that video for years
and its like I was the only one
who had it. Before I found Carpenters Online, I had posted
a thread about it on A&M Corner
and they implied that I was crazy,
which is mostly trueLOL. I can't
wait to hear Together At Christmas
on its official release. The best
part of the video is all of the
rare concert footage. When Karen
sings Sing in Japanese she really
sounds authentic, its a hard language to duplicate.
Does your video indicate what company released it? Mine just starts out with a color test pattern.

Hi Jim, I really love that video to see all the concerts, the one I love is when Karen winks at someone in the audiance, while she is behind the drums, I think she was playing them but the whole video is so coooooool I really have to save up and get a DVD burner so that tape won't get destroyed with all the times I've played it, yah right and I am alittle crazy myself LOL

Hey Mariah!!!
Click on amazon.com
and they will provide a list of
all Carpenters video in print.
The list is pretty short Yesterday
Once More Interpretations and Remembering The Carpenters. Hopefully that list will get longer
but from what I unserstand, there
are so many royalty and other legal
sh** involved that we probably
won't see too much more. I wish
people could see past themselves
and allow more of the Carpenters
video footage to be released before
its to late. However I am grateful
for what we have. It makes me feel
good when I see members that are
just discovering the Carpenters
for the first time. It really says
just how amazing they were!! I feel
fourtunate that I was there for the
hay days and even went to a concert. Speaking of videos I have
Yesterday Once More on Laser Disc!
Those are dinasour DVD's
Oh yeah, also check Ebay. From
time to time someone has bootleg
TV specials and live concerts
and of course the infamous unreleased solo cuts from Karens
solo album, some of which are better then the officially released
cuts. i.e. Love Makin Love To You!
Also I just discovered a site that
carries rare recordings go to
www.GEMM.com.

Beth...

What is that *Carpenters 2002 Forever*? A DVD?

And that new Christmas song? I'm a little confused here.

Thanks...
