Thank you! So have you seen the whole interview? Is there a longer video out there?
I’ve only ever seen the clip used in the segment aired the day of Karen’s funeral. I’m sure that original segment from 1981 exists in their archives.

I found a very short clip of them performing "Top of the world" on a german documentary on the Carpenters, Abba and the Bee Jees. Here is the link. Skip to the minute 8:20.
It's from the Bob Hope show. Same day as they performed A Song For You. In this documentary there are many Carpenters clips with very good quality spread throughout, intertwined with ABBA and Bee Jees stuff. It's a shame that my German is not very good..Where is the performance from does anyone know.
wow this is great? never knew that interview in b/w was longer than it was on youtube. i will do some cutting work and post all the treasures on youtube in one video.I found a very short clip of them performing "Top of the world" on a german documentary on the Carpenters, Abba and the Bee Jees.

Hello Billy!Do you have the complete interview from Swap Shop in 1981?
Hi Chris,
Do you have the complete interview from Swap Shop in 1981? I've only ever seen a 50 second clip of it...
yes I really hope Richard release them in good quality somedayIm really hoping that there is a good quality version of their specials does anyone know
they were on that special but i don't know what they sang, maybe merry christmas darling?I had no idea they did the Perry Como Christmas special in 1973! I was only aware of the 1974 one! Is there any footage of that? Does anyone know what they performed?

in the case of Without A Song it looks like the seperate video layers were re-edited in the 90’s to work on the Interpretations DVD.
That's something that really bugs me! It makes no sense that Richard didn't use the original 1974 mix on the Christmas Memories DVD. It's not like it doesn't exist in stereo, and in good quality, as it appears on the Complete Singles CD set. My problem with the use of the 1984 mix, is that the saxophone solo was replaced with an entirely different solo, played by a different musician. On the Christmas Memories DVD, we see Bob Messenger playing his original solo, but we are actually hearing John Phillips new solo. If you watch Bob closely, his fingering on the sax doesn't match the notes that are being played - of course they can't! For someone who is legendary for being a perfectionist, I wonder why Richard thought this was a good idea?There’s also the Perry Como Christmas ShowDVD (Richard got permission to use some videos from this for the Christmas Memories DVD, however on CM he removed the original mono audio and put in stereo versions, so on CM the video for SCICTT is from the Perry Como special, but it’s been synched to the 1984 AOFC mix, whereas the PCCS DVD has the original 1974 (scarce) mono mix of SCICTT).

i think i made a mistake on my list. i checked the 1973 special and didn't saw the carpenters.I think they just did the special with Perry Como in 1974 only. Otherwise, we’d have known about it.
