The Carpenters Live At The New London - Goodbye to love

[MultiGeraghty]

What a terrible loss!! Beautiful

[mrdoopey]

R.I.P. Karen Carpenter and Tony Peluso on guitar. Two greats hitting their high notes together. Thanks for sharing! ;)

[floridians4israel]

UNNNNNN BELIEVABLY GREAT!!!

[Garlandfan]

Love Karen and Richard, brilliant music

[ThanhDuLe]

She's ever the most my favourite singer I love. I miss you, Karen

[videowatcher4006]

I thought the drummer was banging one out at the end

[PizzaxChicken]

Thumbs up if Evidence brought you here

[McDughf]

Oh Karen, Did You Really Understand This Way Back When?...

[BikkieBuzz]

lifes too short. Make known every soul shall taste death. For sure there is eternal life after death. Prepare for it. find out the purpose of life before its too late. Read the Quran. a book of guidance sent to mankind till the end of time by the only one God. who created the heavens and the earth , the ever living, not created and never dying. hey if u wanna know stuff bout a product. learn it from the manufacturer. The authentic Quran will never and has never changed till the end of time.

[eireman]

GONE FAR TOO SOON! I WISH she would have FOUND a LOVE.. TRUE enough to give her the strength to CARRY ON! RIP.. BEAUTIFUL KAREN!

[pmus1]

very few artists in the history of music actually sounded better live than on album....karen did.

[DrHogfan]

makes me want to go out and fire down on a GIBSON ES 335....well maybe an Epiphone Dot

[kayleighcochroach]

karen carpenter could do no wrong whilst singing, she is the only person i've ever heard on youtube who sounds amazing recorded or live, she is my absolutely favorite singer of all time!!!

[showmegrl2]

what a lovely voice karen had.... she sang from her heart~like she too knew she had to say goodbye to love & be alone....

[stoogman]

Machines play solos the same note for note, not human beings!! The guitar solo was right on fool!!!!!!!!!

[cosg9531]

The guiter solo should have replicated the recording note for note. Not because innovation can't be worthwhile, but because the recorded version was ideal for this song.

[awnok]

@cosg9531 Would have been nice, but this is a `Vegas` type show where everything is delivered note for note, night after night.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@awnok Exactly. So why not note-for-note as originally recorded? Would have sounded much better.

[awnok]

@JeffersonDinedAlone Would have been better if was the same without the fade at the end.

[MrWackypackages]

Poor karen R.I.P.

[TheDokaDoka]

Karen Carpenter should've been at the drums! She would've been way more happy!

[arfies]

@TheDokaDoka Agreed. Not to diss Cubby or anything, but his solo at the end there is really repetitive and not very exciting, not to mention no dynamics other than "SMACK." Karen would've done way better!

[MrDjh66]

Yes rip Tony he was amazing and way to young to die

[munster322]

Great RIP karen and tony.

[paisleygerry]

If someone else had produced Karen rather that the insiped and sugary Richard then we would have seen an even better side of her. Richard totally over produced everything and smothered Karen's natural talents. Plus maybe in different company she would have stood a better chance !

[idorkTheLine]

of all the female vocalists i have ever heard my favorite is Karen Carpenter. She had the ability to make someone believe that she was in the room singing directly to that person. I also believe that bluesy soulful aspect of her voice is woefully under appreciated. I mean what is blues music but the ability to convey the sadness that you are feeling at that moment? Even We've only just begun cannot hide the true sadness Karen felt in her soul.

[chlowean1]

this is how i feel! i wonder how she sung this without crying

[CARLDBIRMAN]

The guitar solo ROCKS!!! Let no one ever say the Carpenters couldn't rock.

[BobMaz74]

The ultimate Goddess of beautifully sad Love songs.

[b1977ben]

the voice hides her terrible problems, i guess that's why there will always be a hint of sadness whever she sings, be it a happy songs or a sentimental numbers. Rest in Peace, Karen. We miss you.

[charlies86angel]

@b1977ben Indeed. Yet in the midst of all the sadness, there always seems to be a smile hidden in her voice as well. May she rest in peace.

[improvguru]

Karen is lovely, but why did they ever let Ken and Mitzi Welch turn their show into this kitschy mess? I wish Cubby would shut up, go home, and let The Divine Ms. K. take her rightful place behind the kit.

[TheSami1973]

@improvguru well the drums was where she wanted to be. Wasn't her fault she had a voice heaven sent on top of the drum talent which ended up taken priority.. A one off woman in this world who will never been forgotten and she died before i was old enough to know/remember her alive. I am a fan and always will be. RIP KC.

[eightiesguy62]

Yes she truly had one of the great and most unique voices in music history!! They were a great group.....I have their greatest hits cd and I must say every song on there is awsome.....they even did an old Beatles song "Ticket to Ride" and they did a great job with it!! Too bad her life was cut short!

[sraphael]

I only just found out from reading these comments, and then doing my research, that Tony Peluso died. ;( He was so talented and such a sweetie. He spoke so fondly of Richard and Karen and a part of me had the hunch that he loved KC.... At least now Tony and Karen can make great music together in heaven. I love you Karen and I love you Tony! RIP xx 

[karenaperville]

Karen Carpenter truly has one of the richest voices there ever was. It is just too sad that she left us so soon.

[1979davecub]

The album "A Song For You" was one of the greatest albums of the rock era.Yes,the Carpenters WERE rock,especially their first four albums,which beyond the hits they were known for,were in the vein of rock/jazz."Goodbye To Love" is the first real power ballad in rock music.For that reason alone,The Carpenters should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.It's criminal that they have yet to be seriously concidered.

[PeteLI66]

omg Tony Peluso died? I am very sad...

[CrankCase08]

@PeteLI66 Why sad? We all die.

[seadragon01]

A voice that even now makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up

[demongene]

RIP Tony..... your solo on this song changed an entire 'genre'....

Thank you for the music!

[tamtran0208]

my idol !!!!!

[JJTeez]

Astonishing and terribly sad. Thanks so much Karen and now, sadly, Tony. Richard, you are still one of the best producers/arrangers ever. The music lives on.

[CARLDBIRMAN]

astonishing.

[kcrcbest]

R.I.P. TONY, THANX FOR THE MUSIC

[Wikipunani]

@FlyingMondongo So far beyond any other female pop vocalist that has ever been that they are simply not worthy of being compared to her. Proof: watch?v=RJwRafRP9g0&feature=re­lated

[MrPaulo40graus]

show de bola

[alanfisher1975]

The greatest voice in history.

[thejinglehouse]

The Carpenters were hot! OK, very soft-sell hot, but this is 1970s, our world was a little friendlier back then.

Watch this video if you don't believe me, Karen's always on the money, Richard with the arrangements, and live they all cook.

Guitar and drummer are way hot too. (I really love those acrylic drums; almost bought a set of those in 1973).

[fiveshorts]

I have a fantasy. Karen Carpenter doing Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky. I bet she would have made Gilmour cry.

[1979davecub]

@fiveshorts they would get one hell of a lead singer.

[CrankCase08]

@fiveshorts - doubt it.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@fiveshorts

maybe that would be above her range but I bet that her and richard wright are doing the song in heaven. a re arrangement

[andreshunter2]

Lavate las orejas estupido bocon...

[ezeism]

por siempreee kareennn graciassss

[Drumshe]

I don't think she ever hit a wrong note, even while performing live.

[fiveshorts]

@Drumshe Nor took a breath... unbelievable. Absolutely a gift from heaven. And I don't even believe in heaven. So there. I miss you Karen.

[volontewilliams]

Holy shit that guitar tone and playing is too damn tasty for words.
