Wait a minute...is Karen actually wearing a midriff top...? I have never seen Karen performing in anything that shows her bare waist.
Thank You!Awesome! Love it!
It really brings some live in that silent film!
I may have a recording of Sing..
Wil look for it
I edited footage of the 1974 tour for the opening medley to complete the 8mm footage! Let me know what you guys think!

last month i bought a bunch of news and magazine clippings someone kept from 1974 to now.
It’s almost all dutch stuff.
Enjoy..
Thanks Rick,Now could you interpret those articles to English? jk
I’ve never seen that full shot photo at 2:15 with the gold records above them. In addition the photo to the left of that with Karen drinking coffee or tea is new to me. Nice album.

Great photos, Chris! dbFor the people who wanted to see this two pictures from the scrapbook.
Does anyone know who this woman is? I think it’s an interviewer but I don’t know exactly.

Hello Everyone, yesterday I visited a Carpenters friend of mine who lived nearby.
We talked for one hour about Carpenters music!
And the great thing, I bought some very nice things from her!
many old 70s and 80s VCC and VHS tapes containing dutch Carpenters appearances and many audio cassettes with awesome stuff!
This is all from the same woman I got the scrapbook and the scarf from.
I digitized and posted the most interesting cassette first.
Carpenters Live at the MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas 1978!
The recording was made by the head of the Dutch fanclub who visited the concert and took many pictures.
It contains their hits and some interesting stuff like, Strike up the band (with karen singing), Thank you for the music and When I fall in love/I need to be in love.
There are many more things to come!

Carpenters Live at the MGM Grand Hotel Las Vegas 1978!
I've said if before, but it really makes you wonder what the '83 concert would have looked like. I mean only Touch Me would really warrant an inclusion as a hit in the 5 years between this and '83. I guess a couple of new singles would be out by their summer tour dates. I dont really follow classic evergreen acts like the Carpenters so not sure where it would go.Whilst it’s great to have new (bootleg) recordings like this to listen to, it also serves to highlight how disjointed these 1978 concerts were, in terms of the running order and the ebb and flow of the show. It starts with that bizarre, cornball opening number, then into “Thank You For The Music”, which is nowhere near strong enough to open the show and would have been much better as a cabaret-style closing number or encore. After a brief lift with “Hush”, the flow is immediately killed with the double whammy of “When I Fall In Love/I Need To Be In Love”. The bona fide hits are held up another half an hour by inane material such as the audience participation routine on “Sing” and the Spike Jones piece and when they finally do arrive, almost three quarters of the way into the show, the audience is short-changed with truncated versions of each one.
This show is the on-stage equivalent of Passage: musically very strong, but stylistically patchy and all over the place. I’m not sure whether Ken and Mitzy Welch were still in charge of their shows by late 1978, but I never felt these performances ever really did them or their stunning back catalogue justice.
