Jack I’m another one who was born too late to see them. Although I was born in a year when two of their greatest albums came out: Christmas Portrait: Special Edition and An Old-Fashioned Christmas.I’m currently a junior in high school, so I was born more than 20 years too late to see them live (am I the youngest person on this forum? I’m not sure), however I have been hearing their music for literally my entire life. My grandma did see the Carps live sometime in the early ‘70s (she also saw Dionne Warwick in the late ‘60s) - my love for their music kind of runs in the family.
I agree, the recordings of their live performances are very cool to see, but I’m still left wondering what it would have been like to have actually been there in person. Their presence almost seemed to be an electrifying feeling, as in you could almost feel the whole room move when Karen sang. Hearing her voice live, as well as being a room filled with Richard’s amazing arrangements seems like it would have been almost overwhelming. Those who were lucky enough to see the Carps in concert am I correct in this assessment?
Now that I think is a really neat idea. It would be a very cool experience, and it would help to continue to cement their legacy throughout music history. However, for the people who actually saw K&R in person it may be a little weird to suddenly just see virtual versions of them. But for those of us who never got the chance to see the real deal this would probably be the next best thing.I think more and more fans are ones who didn't get the thrill of seeing them live. I wonder if a hologram show would work for them as it does for ABBA. I'd love to see it.
I'm not sure if they ever toured in Montana or not, but I don't know about it if they did. So, I never got a chance to see them live either. I wonder if a hologram show could do anything about Karen's prom-dress outfits? I'm no clothes expert but those clothes probably didn't help their image any.
