Give a listen to his fine work on "Tonight", the failed single from "Side 3". I've been known to spin that tune ten times in a row without tiring of it.<BR/><BR/>A live video of Tonight is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuAy4VjfDlYMister Pleasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525855662696903836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-30127101256928859812007-08-13T18:33:00.000-04:002007-08-13T18:33:00.000-04:00BTW, if you go here, they've got clips from the re...BTW, if you go <A HREF="http://www.raspberriesonline.com/main.shtml" REL="nofollow">here,</A> they've got clips from the reunion tour, along with some blasts from the past!dave™©https://www.blogger.com/profile/15303249276504183167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-47507709923533151172007-08-13T18:24:00.000-04:002007-08-13T18:24:00.000-04:00Not sure where the vid came from but it was obviou...<I>Not sure where the vid came from but it was obviously live.</I><BR/><BR/>At YouTube, it says it was recorded at the Record Plant...

It's great, btw!dave™©https://www.blogger.com/profile/15303249276504183167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-38084268077470148282007-08-13T14:30:00.000-04:002007-08-13T14:30:00.000-04:00KC, I'd never seen it before.

Quite astounding.<BR/><BR/>But I saw them at Carnegie in 73 -- with (I think) the Michael Rikfors edition of the Hollies -- and they were equally astounding.<BR/><BR/>They brought out a Mellotron and did "Be My Baby."
