45 yrs ago today, the duo made a concert appearance at the Budokan Hall in Tokyo Japan. My all time favorite video live performance of theirs. I have a lot of favorites during this concert; Jambalaya, The End Of The World, Mr Guder, and Karen performing Sing with schoolchildren in Japanese. What is not to like? Karen is beautiful, Richard evens smiles a few times, but it's that voice of Karen's...She is in her PRIME! So, in recognition of this very important date in Carpenter history, I present a brief snippet of my very favorite moment of this concert, when I feel the complete brilliance of Karen's voice is in overdrive. May I present Yesterday Once More;



Notice how she flares-out the vibrato on the "still shines..." and "so fine..." on the choruses. Chill inducing!!
 
The song leader of the pack that is in the live in japan album is it the same one that they sang in that same concert
