 A writer for q Magazine states the Carpenters will be featured in an upcoming article named THE BIGGEST BANDS EVER. this is totally exciting. Though the writer has posed the following question: What was the band's biggest ever gig? (festival appearances not valid.) I need location + date + audience total. Does anybody here have this info?

Sorry Rick..., I feel stupid ..., I don't have verified numbers on that. Sorry, too, for the delay of my Carpenters collection... The fact that it is the first time that I do an inventory of my Carpenters items makes me want to do a nice presentation... So, it's taking me a lot of time... Thanks for the upcoming Q Magazine info.  I love you Karen...  Roland C. |

My connection from Q Magazine has let me know the Carpenters have ranked in the top 50 of the all-time biggest music acts. So, there will certainly be a feature done about them. I thank you all for your help. I also want to thank my friends at A&M Corner for their help. The Q Magazine issue should be published either Spetmeber 1 or October 1. I will let you guys know when I get more info.

Hey Rick, I was just thinking. Richard Carpenter surly knows the answer to this question about the size of the audience. I've sent e-mails to him through the new website and received answers. Do you think that if we send an e-mail regarding this he might send back an answer? It's worth a try.

While I'm thinking of it. Did we ever get an answer to Cam's question regarding Bless The Beasts and The Children. Did Karen and Richard sing the song on the Oscars live or was it pre-recorded. I guessed live on another posting, but never read whether that was correct. I figured Barbara Streisand (who is quite shy about singing in public) has sung live on the Oscars then K and R would have also.
