they are one of the best bands of the 70's and it's a shame they did not get recognized at that elite level of the Who, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, etc.... I can only surmise the record company screw it up.
I am STILL trying to play Jim's outstanding drumming on the song "Ecstacy" the same way he did on the original studio recording!! It is simply creative and ear-catching......if the listener understands what they are hearing😮 Great song and obviously underrated group!!! Mitch Long
Really cool interview. Sure wish Eric hadn’t passed away. Would love to see these guys. Hope they do get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Would love to hear them play. Great great band. And Jim is a great drummer.
Fantastic interview - these insights by Jim B. 🥁 are wonderful! Pop Art Live was not only the greatest live concert album release in 2017, but it may be one of the best ever!
just finished watching.. Jim Bonfanti is awesome. I met him once and he was so nice. He's a great drummer. Much like Ringo he played exactly what was needed for those songs.
Side anecdote to Lennon liking The Rasberries..I saw a BB King interview where he heard Lennon say he (Lennon) wished he could play guitar like BB King. King said he was shocked and blown away that John Lennon even knew his name...
Great interview. A very humble man. Great drummer. Wish I was able to see them. Lucky are those who were able to see them live. God bless, Eric., Jim, Wally, and Dave.
Great interview. Thank you.

Excellent. Thank you! So refreshing to hear a TV interviewer who really knows his stuff too.

RIP Eric what a shock ! Timeless his music 🎵🎶 singing and songwriter! He should be in the Rock n roll hall of Fame!!
Grew up listening to these guys. Jim is Soo humble. 💕💕
No you didn't do a good job doing the Beatles, YOU DID A EXCELLENT JOB 👍
Fantastic interview...!! All honor to the interviewer

Haunting. Who’d a known. RIP Eric. Many great memories at the Agora.
Great interview! I love Jim's drumming and I've been a Raspberries fan since I first heard "Tonight". ❤
"Overnight Sensation": one of the greatest drum breaks in rock!
It is.but Jim didn't play on the original. He had already left the band by that point.The Iate Michael Mcbride plays on that.
Superb interview! Thanks.
