I just heard the news that Eric Carmen passed away today (Mar.11, 2024) at the age of 74. I'm so glad I got to fall in love with this band, and 40-some years later, I'm sharing The Raspberries and the voice and songwriting talents with my daughter. Thanks, Eric.💔
My first rock concert was Eric Carmen and The Raspberries back in 1972. "Go All The Way" was in the Top 10 on the radio! They were so cool! Thanks for the great music over the years! You will be sorely missed! 💔
This song was one of my many anthem’s from my Jr. High years, a very special time in my life . Still don’t understand 50% of the lyrics….but if Dick Clark would’ve asked, I’d give a 92 for the beat.
Unbelievable!!! They still sound amazing!!! Hey kids take note! THIS is talent!! Not talking fast over a mic and cussing every other word degrading women.
It's a great feeling! I play drums and a friend's son plays, so I played more than a feeling blasting out of those speakers. Yep. For 5:30, I was 15 again.
I have to say, this song kicks ass. IT is totally rocked out and adrenaline filled, but it has a way to conger up that romantic emotion that is very hard to do. Great tune.
The man had incredible range. From the rocker Go All The Way to the ballads All By Myself and Never Gonna Fall In Love Again, he was an immense talent. RIP Eric.
I saw the Raspberries at Ohio University in 72 or 73. Hard to believe Eric was only 24 or 25. I really just wanted to hear this song. Hearing it live I knew I was privileged to be there. Its not everyday that you get to experience a classic in person. Such a wonderful, beautiful, song. Words cannot express how I feel about this song. The incredible harmonies. I believe I left after the song was over. RIP Eric.
Oh, you were so lucky to see him at OU!! I didn't know he sang this song until today! Great song, great University! I'm an OU '83 grad. R.I.P. Eric Carmen😢
@@kellycronin7580He had other top 10 hits but this I think is his best song. His voice was decent in this video but at 24 it was so much better. It's ironic that you have the same name as Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon. Probably my favorite band ever next to the Beatles. Kevin was heavily influenced by the Fab Four as was Eric. I can hear the Beatles in this song. I don't think that was by accident. The REO ballad "Can't fight this feeling" and "Go all the way" are in my top ten of all time greatest song's. I'm still freaking out that a K Cronin responded here You can't make it up!
@@Downsdddgh I have a brother named Kevin Cronin, but not the singer unfortunately!😆 This Cronin family is from mid-Ohio. But thank God, I live in FL now! I did love Ohio U. I saw Neil Young, Paul Young & Billy Squier there.
It breaks my heart that such a great talent has left this world. Eric Carmen was truly one of the greatest songwriters and artists of our time. You are with the angels now Eric and your sweet voice will never be forgotten. I wish I had been one of the fortunate ones to see you in concert.😭😭
Wow, after all this time, his voice never lost a thing. He was having a good time too. He was so adorable. Eric, you are loved. Your music brings me great memories. Thank you for your music.
This concert in 2007 was 35 years after Please Go All the Way was a hit in 1972. This was amazing! Talented musicians and singers with the great Eric Carmen as their frontman. So many memories come flooding back to me of my freshman year of high school. It was a great time musically and culturally to be a teenager (for me; I realize everyone's experience with the past was different). RIP ERIC CARMEN
I remember listening to this song on the radio in the seventies and always loving the incredible operatic vocals and high energy of an amazing song...I'm sure Eric is enjoying jamming and singing in heaven for the whole universe to enjoy!
They sound closer to the record 50 years later LIVE than they did on live performances I have seen 50 years ago. Amazing!! Eric Carmen was right when he said: "The Raspberries are a better band now then they were then."
Heard the sad news. I honestly remember being 6 years old summer of 72 hearing this on the radio at home in the background. My brother was 15 and I thought he was saying far far away. As an adult when Dirty Dancing came out I went back to learn about him and was blown away when I found this song again. Genuine hit maker and he left his mark. A legend
WTF just happened. I was completely blown away like I haven't been for years. I didn't expect Eric Carmen to sound 30 years younger than his age. Older rock bands just can't pull off what Eric just did. I got chills listening. And no it's not in a lower key. Simply amazing I'm inspired by this performance. Can't wait to share with my older rock buddies. Eric Carmen -Amazing... Thanks!
@@julieeadie3105 , mostly, I remember feeling guilty about making out. I never went “all the way,” but I certainly felt guilty about all the petting, etc. I did go on to a bad marriage but two wonderful sons, though!
Actually had tears after the first 30 second. It hit me with a rush of emotion. Being a retired rnusician and also knowing this song very well I was blown away by their rendition 50 years later They have not lost one step in performance.. 👏👏
@@cthulholmhastur5317 Excuse me.. I posted that comment to the wrong video. This most definitely is a live performance. If you search there is a karaoke version of this song. But it sounds so dead on perfect I was wondering if it came from a karaoke library where they duplicate popular songs with real musicians, or it the vocals were simply eliminated.. Take a listen to how good this is -->ruclips.net/video/nJHb5UKT5eM/видео.html Now this one here is the actual recording with Eric's vocals slightly eliminated.. It's not perfect because you can still hear his voice bleed thru ---> ruclips.net/video/7duoUl0DtAE/видео.html
I had just graduated 8th grade and was starting to make the switch from AM radio to FM heading into high school. Of course all the family cars only had AM radios, so this and other AM hits were heard on car rides. This song was on jukeboxes pretty much everywhere. Dropped a dime in to hear it more than a few times.
I was 16 in 1972,The Raspberries were "The New Beatles"(as if anyone could be) but were a damn good band. I didn't get an FM radio till 1974,so all of my musical memories prior to that were on AM radio(WLS and WCFL in Chicago).
@@Phil1stalk Yeah but the song was a 1970s Raspberries song. Not too hard to understand, surely?? I dunno, perhaps you're trying to point out through 'apparent' inconsistency that I'm a liar, which would actually make you a garden variety tool.
I can vividly remember being 12 years old and buying the single of Go All The Way, and playing it over and over and over. Those were the days when music touched heart and soul in a way that made you feel that anything was possible. Thank you Eric and Wally, and everyone else in the Raspberries, one of the most underrated bands of all-time. RIP Eric,; there were so many of us who were touched by your gifts.
Another of the great ones gone, but never to be forgotten. Hopefully the RRHOF will put Eric in for Musical Excellence at some point, there is no doubt he was deserving.
Yeah I heard that Eric Carmen passed away today , and my heart is broken , because Eric Carmen was my childhood crush when he was in the singing group THE RASPBERRYS back in the early seventies ❤❤❤ Rest in Heavenly Peace ❤❤❤
Wow. Getting the band back together almost never sounds this good. I’m not a musician but I can recognize professionals who’ve “put the work in”. Love it. Thanks for sharing this.
Still got it. Still handsome. All have full heads of hair. Eric is still a dynamic singer. I grew up with their music and would definitely pay to see them in concert!
I just read tonight that Eric Carmen passed. I am crushed... Part of my youth is gone... I remember just... digging the Raspberries.So much energy, and the poetry that Carmen wrote made my heart ache! The summer of '72, before my senior year, I saw them at the Tomorrowland Stage, Disneyland and they rocked it! So good! His voice was so pure. It solidified my lifelong love for him and the band. I love you, Eric. Rest in peace.
Talented, handsome man with a beautiful head of hair. Why do so many good looking men age like fine wine? Is there a scientific reason?😊 RIP to Mr. Carmen✝️🌹
Im 65, Wow this band and all their hits take me back to junior high school when these songs first aired. I fell in love with a girl in my class over this song.
I can still hear Eric's and the Raspberries songs when I think of the 1970's. AM radio fans loved Raspberries music in the 70's. I was at Charlotte High School in Rochester, NY in the 1970s when the Raspberries came out. I still remember buying their first self-titled "Vinyl" album with the "Scratch and Sniff" sticker on the front. Yes, if you scratched it, it smelled like Raspberries! They had a lot of great songs but my two favorites were, "I Can Remember," and "If You Change Your Mind." I had lost a high school sweet heart back then, and it seemed every one of Eric's words resonated with the feelings I was going through. After Eric left the band for his solo career in the late 1970s, I believe it was the Summer of 1975, I saw the remaining band with Wally Bryson on lead guitar, doing a show at the Hilton High School gymnasium in Hilton, NY. The Raspberries were Great with Eric and Eric had many hits alone and it was great they re-united in the later years to do great shows together again. Thanks Eric, Thanks Raspberries for Great memories... ♥✝🙏
When this came out I was in a 3 piece band playing 60's classic rock on Bourbon Street, I thought it sounded like a cross between Roy Orbison and Humble Pie and he was the prettiest man I'd ever seen, then Eric just kept em coming. This was a testament to his musicianship .
thanks in large part to the four guys playing in the back, stuck behind the drummer, who I suspect are responsible for most of the "original" sound and feel of the song
Born in Cleveland...we miss this piece of our great Rock and roll history. Such an underrated talent was Eric and the Raspberries. Thank you for the wonderful memories, joys and tears.
How is it even possible that Eric still had that voice, that powerful, sexy, one of a kind voice? This video is great. Seeing him having fun, doing what he loved. That's everything. You will be missed, beautiful man. Thank you . 🎸🎤🎶
That subtle distortion from the guitar gets me right away. One of those songs that you'll turn up right away. Doesn't matter where you are or who your with.
I just heard the news that Eric Carmen passed away today (Mar.11, 2024) at the age of 74. I'm so glad I got to fall in love with this band, and 40-some years later, I'm sharing The Raspberries and the voice and songwriting talents with my daughter. Thanks, Eric.💔
Definitely a sad day
I am blown away by this recording and crushed by the news of Eric's passing. Unreal
Godspeed to you, Eric!!

Me too
A song that is just as good today as it was in 1972. RIP Eric Carmen
Power packed song that is timeless !! Great guitar riff and harmonies ! Nobody can write stuff like this anymore. Not even close !!!!
This song ❤😊
THATS what i Just said 5 mongths after you lol 1972 was killer Long tall woman in a black dress , and Brown Sugar is from 1972
Very true
It sure is!!! I was 10 when K-tel released "Believe in Music" back in 1972. Song A8 has been etched in my mind ever since.
R.I.P. Eric Carmen...And Thank you for the Summer of 72'❤
Totally - Heard this tune on my portable transistor for 1st time 11 yrs old
@@IsmJism Same, I was 12 :) Grateful I was born and grew up when I did! THE 70s were my High School years. AMAZING!
This song was one of my many anthem’s from my Jr. High years, a very special time in my life . Still don’t understand 50% of the lyrics….but if Dick Clark would’ve asked, I’d give a 92 for the beat.
I remember, I was about to graduate high school. Great comment "thank you for the summer of 1972"!
There will never be another Eric Carmen. A truly gifted singer and songwriter.
RIP to the incomparable Eric Carmen…great voice. Condolences to The Raspberries band members and his family.
Unbelievable!!! They still sound amazing!!! Hey kids take note! THIS is talent!! Not talking fast over a mic and cussing every other word degrading women.
Both take talent but I agree
ya sure skippy, whatever u say
I literally got chills! AMAZING! I’m 64, and I play this CD in my car all the time. I’m 14 again for a few minutes. Love it!
I'm 66 Marilyn and I feel the same as you. I had the 45 of this great song. Hearing it brings me back to when I was 16 and this song was on the radio.
It's a great feeling! I play drums and a friend's son plays, so I played more than a feeling blasting out of those speakers. Yep. For 5:30, I was 15 again.
I was 14 also !!
14 also! Memories!!
This is a great song. The chorus and harmonies are sublime.
R.I.P. Mr. Carmen and thank you!!!
The music of my awkward youth. God bless you Eric Carmen and Rest In Peace.
Rock on Eric. You will be remembered! RIP.
God could he still belt out a tune. Loved his power ballads.
The most perfect "power pop" song ever written.. R.I.P. Eric Carmen.. you will be forever missed my friend
I have to say, this song kicks ass. IT is totally rocked out and adrenaline filled, but it has a way to conger up that romantic emotion that is very hard to do. Great tune.
THAT IS KILLER! so good so many years later - the true test of greatness!
Loved this man . Rest in Peace Eric
Thank you Eric for all of the beautiful music. Rest in peace.
Everything thing is perfect about this performance. This was an anthem for kids of all ages in 1972. We are still THOSE kids.
Yes I am right there with you.
Perfectly written. I am that kid forever. Timeless music!
‘Perfect comment -for a very interesting time in Music-history 🔱🇺🇸🎭🎶🎠#blessings
I'm with you.
Well said and right ON!
Eric is 58 in this performance! Fantastic!
The man had incredible range. From the rocker Go All The Way to the ballads All By Myself and Never Gonna Fall In Love Again, he was an immense talent. RIP Eric.
I saw the Raspberries at Ohio University in 72 or 73.
Hard to believe Eric was only 24 or 25.
I really just wanted to hear this song.
Hearing it live I knew I was privileged to be there.
Its not everyday that you get to experience a classic in person.
Such a wonderful, beautiful, song.
Words cannot express how I feel about this song.
The incredible harmonies.
I believe I left after the song was over.
RIP Eric.
Have had it on my phone for a few years. Great song.
Oh, you were so lucky to see him at OU!! I didn't know he sang this song until today! Great song, great University! I'm an OU '83 grad. R.I.P. Eric Carmen😢
@@kellycronin7580He had other top 10 hits but this I think is his best song.

It's ironic that you have the same name as Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon.
Probably my favorite band ever next to the Beatles.
Kevin was heavily influenced by the Fab Four as was Eric.
I can hear the Beatles in this song.
I don't think that was by accident.
The REO ballad "Can't fight this feeling" and "Go all the way" are in my top ten of all time greatest song's.
I'm still freaking out that a K Cronin responded here
You can't make it up!
@@Downsdddgh I have a brother named Kevin Cronin, but not the singer unfortunately!😆 This Cronin family is from mid-Ohio. But thank God, I live in FL now! I did love Ohio U. I saw Neil Young, Paul Young & Billy Squier there.
@@kellycronin7580 I was thinking Kevin might be your relation.
I was half right Lol!
But still, pretty weird coincidence.
And pretty cool.
I'm 55 years old and I still have the Raspberries album my mom would constantly play. The back cover, when scratched, still smells like raspberries.
It breaks my heart that such a great talent has left this world. Eric Carmen was truly one of the greatest songwriters and artists of our time. You are with the angels now Eric and your sweet voice will never be forgotten. I wish I had been one of the fortunate ones to see you in concert.😭😭
Their voices and music are so close to 50 years ago when this song hit the charts. They're all so impressive!
I believe they sound even better! What a great band!!!
Super cool song!
Crank it up.
nooo... It "could not" have need 50 years ago. ;) geez...
it was 30 something years when they did this though
That's what I said till I did the math that rip van winkle story is true.
Thank you God for allowing me to be here, on Earth at the same time, as these extraordinary musical artists.
Thank you Eric for the music!
Thank you Eric and the band for decades of fun!!
Wow, after all this time, his voice never lost a thing. He was having a good time too. He was so adorable. Eric, you are loved. Your music brings me great memories. Thank you for your music.
RIP Eric Carmen. Thank you for this timeless classic 🙏🏽
Wow… feeling my own mortality more and more marked by the passing of yet another Rock Hero.. farewell Cleveland Son.. Rest In Peace ..

Easily one of the best rock pop songs ever to hit the radio ever. Sounds great here. Cheers.

You are really going to be missed, Eric. Thanks for the great tunes.
His songs are so different he had them all
Another of the great ones gone, but never to be forgotten. Hopefully the RRHOF will put Eric in for Musical Excellence at some point, there is no doubt he was deserving.
Some of the most perfect power-pop ever made. R.I.P.
Just heard the sad, sad news. RIP Eric. Thank you for your beautiful music and all the memories ❤
Best top of the hour song!!! Every radio talent from this era will tell you that much.
What a talent!!!
RIP Eric!!! I still love this song!!! Thanks for the music! it's timeless!! Terrific voice!!!
The 70s had some of the best music ever, and this song epitomizes that.

How is it even possible that Eric still had that voice, that powerful, sexy, one of a kind voice? This video is great. Seeing him having fun, doing what he loved. That's everything. You will be missed, beautiful man. Thank you . 🎸🎤🎶
That subtle distortion from the guitar gets me right away. One of those songs that you'll turn up right away. Doesn't matter where you are or who your with.
