The Osmonds (video) Rock N Roll Medley 1975

[done7ful]

I was able to see this act as a kid (15) in Las Vegas years ago! I remember the adults seemed to love it as much as us because many of them were teenagers in the 50"s! Love this! Shows how the Osmond Brothers were able to play insturments and perform at the same time! Super talented family!

[judi6078]

arrgghhhh! Where's Jay?

[ERINONBROADWAY]

@judi6078 Playing the Drums

[judi6078]

ackkk! Where's Jay??????

[1996gymnasticsfan]

Because I saw Merrill shake his hips in a sexy way, I can die now. LOL

[judi6078]

Where's Jay?????

[mariesutube]

Agree about the sunglasses, they all have such beautiful eyes. But love Donny rockin' on the piano and that they are all playing instruments. They are all so talented.

[glcfordco]

Hey, Lyn...have just read our postings on this...just think since we wrote that we have both met Merrill and I have met Donny !!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek xxx

[done7ful]

I saw the Osmonds do this very skit back in 74 in Vegas( Tropicana I believe)

Mom had to take me because I wasn't old enough to drive Yet! Wow! What

memories! Thank You!

[lavendercalendar]

Oh man-- it's awesome to see the '75 version for the first time-- *thank you*!

[valerie3571]

this has to be my fave Osmond video. yummm

[valerie3571]

those black pants were very flattering. i would love a pair, or maybe just the guy that wore them!

[valerie3571]

i wonder if they went through the acne phase and just wore makeup or if they just always had perfect complexsion? they r really beautiful!

[MyCelticHeaven]

@valerie3571 I have wondered the same thing. I have never seen any of them with complexion problems. Good eating and living pay off I guess! They have had their share of health issues since the 70's though sadly.

so many good lookin' people in one family... should be a crime!

[valerie3571]

that's my favorite kinda crime! they r so pretty! and yes they have had health issues.

[StuckInThe50sAnd70s]

nope. theres a pic of two in ym jackie album, n poor donny has acne. :S poor donny.

[valerie3571]

lol really??? i have never seen it!!! poor Donny indeed!!!

[StuckInThe50sAnd70s]

donny got it worse the acne. my mother pointed otu to me only the other day that he had a monobrow from age 13 up. poor donny. oh well. he was still cute...

[valerie3571]

yeah he was so cute! monobrow or not!!!

[mona14mona]

I didn't know Donny can play the piano

[valerie3571]

it was HIS instrument! and the bass was Merrill's, Alan's, and Wayne's mostly. Drums were Jay's.

[kaseypaulette]

i dont see how they are chewing gum and singing at the same time..

i would be up there chokeing on it..lol

[kaseypaulette]

I also loved how the piano said his name on itt...it was cute..lol

[kaseypaulette]

wow..that was great..

donny was hastarical when he was jumping up and down !lol

that was a great video im still laughing.. :]

[JPDELYON]

The same piano on stage in LYon, November 1973...!!

-

and they look like the Rubettes !!

[2Catangel]

What this in Germany, or just taken from German TV? I was in Germany in 1975, I certainly would have loved to seen them.

[captainbones42]

lol  good bit of entertainment

[dvinedzine]

Merrill was wrong for those white Pat Boone shoes!

[dvinedzine]

Donny was kind of a crazy kid, lol!

[donnyfan123]

[maryautism]

That was great!

[donnyfan123]

i know

[donnyfan123]

every time it went duh duh boom boom donny was about to do his thing but it went to merrill te te te

[glcfordco]

Yeah shall we blame censorship of German TV 1975 style !!!

LOVED Donnys "bit" during this routine....YOU should seen it in concert !!! WOOO... LOL

xxx

[sweetelixer]

No Jay....... WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glcfordco]

Hiya Lyn, Did I let you know I had to put this one on my favs. list. Ta again - just wish the camera had been a bit more stage left during Jailhouse Rock. Blast German TV.

LOL LOL

t.c.

Gailxx

[jonbess]

fantastic performance, they are really good looking n so sexy esp merrill. and his gum chewing makes me dream. just curious where is jay in this video. have´nt seen him performed this one

[kerndogm]

HOLY COW!!! I do love me some Osmond men in black leather! Boy, especially that Alan...THUD!

[sweetelixer]

I would love to see Jay in leather chaps... Nothing on except Leather Chaps!!!!!! LOL :p

[glcfordco]

Back again Lyn - cant keep away from The Osmonds in leathers......woaw!

your mate Gailxx

[luvrof70s]

They ALL look damn sexy here!

[glcfordco]

WHOSE idea was it to hide the best 5 pairs eyes in the world behind sunglasses???????

[lynjef7]

Hahaha don't you just the 'tude' the boys bring to this video - so cool. I love Merrill's gum chewing thing - I'd give him mouth to mouth if he swallowed it - for sure LOL.

[glcfordco]

Maybe Donny could do with a nice back massage from all that back bending eh? ha ha ha

Yes very cool

Gailxx

[lynjef7]

Well 'Gail' its a hard job but I'm sure you're volunteering with both hands up hehehe lol.

[glcfordco]

Hee Hee You've got to understand me so well Lyn.  Pity those guys if we actually met them eh? They wouldn't stand a chance....or we'd just stand there gobsmacked...

Gailxx

[lynjef7]

Probably gobsmacked and both of us a blubbering mess sharing the tissues LOL.

Lyn (mwah)

[glcfordco]

Yeah you're probably right. They'd be all "Hello" and we'd be "Er Um Er". Only thing wrong with this clip is we dont get Donnys wiggle in Jailhouse Rock...blast

Gailxx

[sweetslady56]

@lynjef7 Well, were you a blubber mess when you met Merrill?

[sweetslady56]

@glcfordco I just saw this comment. Any comment?

[sweetslady56]

@glcfordco I just saw this comment. Any comment?

[glcfordco]

@sweetslady56 not sure I quite understand......but I have met Donny (in Vegas) and YES I was a mess........not exactly "blubbering" but I couldnt walk or talk ! HE seemed to find that amusing.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

[shamwowwow]

Why don't you learn how to form a proper sentence that makes sense.

[donnyfan123]

im only 11

[glcfordco]

They did this set at Earls Court when I saw them. Electrifying....... Im sure that piano shot fireworks at the concert. Can n-e-1 else remember?  As a committed DonnysGirl Ive got to admit as an adult I am seeing the attraction of Merrill.......

[lynjef7]

Well I was a devoted Donny teen in the 70's but matured in to a Merrill devotee since the 80s and have remained so ever since - even today I just adore Merrill as the 'silver fox' he just got better and better over the years - just love him.

[WildHeart924]

Alan Looks So Damn SEXY!!!!!

[JPDELYON]

THE OSMONDS..OR..THE RUBETTES ??

[waltere200]

The best & clear video by the Osmonds I've seen so far. I'm still learning who is who & what their names are. To be honest, when I was in my teens from another country, there was only the popular Donny & Marie Show. The Osmonds brothers were not shown. I didn't realize the brothers had their own TV shows and were popular back then in the US. I'm beginning to learn more about them. They have good talent, good moves, good voice & good teamwork. They're the opposite of the Jackson 5.

[luvjayo]

No Jay? I know here's there on the drums somewhere.

[rottymonkey]

Lyn! Thank you! I have the "around the world live in concert" (along with all the others) and have always wanted to see this! Thank you thank you thank you!

BTW, Merrill was indeed HOT in this one...I love his take on the Elvis songs! YEOW!

[lynjef7]

Oh me too Jeni I just love Merrills' 'Elvis' he has so much attitude - I love the whole gum chewing thing - I'd have given him 'mouth to mouth' if he had swallowed it LOL.

[rottymonkey]

You read my mind sister!

[lynjef7]

Oh ldsmormornred' Merrill is sizzling he's got so much 'tude'.

[tonnyosmond]

this was great ' i used to have a purple hat but dont know what happend to it .

[sindegold]

Wow, Lyn - - where did you find this?? OMG...I absolutely LOVE this!!! This whole segment/medley used to make me swoon and go crazy when they did it in concert (and still does ;-D)!! Thank you for posting this! Hugs~ Susan

[lisaosfan]

Lyn, this was great!!! I've heard them do these songs on their live album, but have never seen it performed. Thanks so much!!!! Lisa

[RykersMom]

The Osmonds Rock and Rule

Thanks Lyn

Rykersmom aka Sherri

[lynjef7]

They sure do Sherri can just never get enough and Merrill is such a honey in this video - so much 'tude', its a wonder he doesn't choke on his gum whilst singing or jumping around - I'd give him the kiss of life.

[PaOsfan]

I love this video!! Merrill & Donny are such cuties!!!!! I first saw them do this in concert in 1973.

[010366william]

Now, that's better. Thanks!

[JaysDoubleLovin]

Great video, the boys look HOT. Shame you don't see much of Jay :(

[lynjef7]

I wonder where Jay is cause he's not actual in this video.

[Hotshots18]

i thought he was on the drums, they just didn't show him?

[esir1989]

Isn't that Jay(on the drums) at 1:02?

[lucy0814]

Hi Lyn, good video! Merrill is very cute in this suit!

[lynjef7]

Get the way Merrill's chewing gum - he's got so much 'tude' attitude that is LOL>

[pilotpotty]
