There has been discussion on another thread about Richard's "piano prowess". How do you feel about the Warsaw Concerto during their performances? Was it there just to stroke Richard's ego or did it add to the enjoyment of their performance? The earliest I have seen it concerning the Carpenters was in 1974 when he performed it at the "Boston Pops" special on PBS. But it is still integrated in their concerts as late as the 1976 "New London Theater" BBC special. To me, it didn't fit. So I give it a "thumbs down". Any of the members that actually went to a Carpenters performance, did you witness it first hand? Were you spellbound? Please chime in.
