I guess I'm getting old. Back in the day (when this came out) Mick, Rod,David Bowie, The New York Dolls, Roxy Music, all them guys were into the androgynous look. I never gave it much thought. Hell, Elvis wore makeup!

Too bad the other three members aren't around to set the record straight. Bad show, Joey.

He should have done ... By: hauntboy. on 22 May 08, 13:51:03 He should have done those things but added something like: " This is for Pete and Tom!". Maybe he was inferring that by his actions.

The Raspberries ... By: lkjiytedc. on 06 Oct 08, 19:24:36 The Raspberries were Gods. Their frantic attempts to be taken seriously went unfulfilled, sadly. But if bubblegum had a "dread" band then they were it!
I think Eric needs ... By: thomas3570. on 29 Sep 08, 00:21:33 I think Eric needs to sober up before it is too late. This was a kick ass band and it shouldn't end with a DWI conviction.

If you ever get ... By: crawford1976. on 30 Aug 08, 06:54:44 If you ever get back here, Lou's is a few miles east past all of that "strip" stuff. My wife and I were staying at the Geneva lodge a few years ago and we thought it would never come up after driving on that road. We'll talk via e-mail if you like.

Yeah, no idea where ... By: crawford1976. on 30 Aug 08, 04:25:46 Yeah, no idea where Eric is now. My old friend from Baldwin-Wallace College used to do plumbing for the guy in Westlake, and I just got into the Rasperries a few months ago again. I live nearby. The 'bula area is familiar to me. Ever been to Lou's Billow Beach?
Badfinger performs No Matter What. Live vocals from group over backing track of LP version. Beatles signed them to Apple label as The Iveys. Start of Power Pop as every band plays this pop gem eventually.

I do believe that it is one of the catchiest songs in the history of music. I can never seem to get it out of my head! It gets stuck so easily- then i sing it out loud, and everyone else gets it stuck in their heads too. Love these guys. They really knew how to write/perform songs. RIP Pete, Tommy, and Mike
wow, at 2:55, Joey waves his hands through the air- didn't notice that one for a while!

This is a lovely ... By: bunchie1966. on 15 Sep 08, 00:16:37 This is a lovely tune. I've heard a few of the Raspberries songs, but not this one. They are not that big here in the UK. I don't know why.
Just because you ... By: ianslass. on 07 Aug 08, 20:54:14 Just because you were in an audience, means nothing. I was in Philly May 13, too. The BCR CAN sing and play their own instruments and are talented. Les McKeown has an awesome voice! I feel this version is better than the BCR's, but I LOVE the BCR's too - it was the first version I heard. It's a matter of what makes you feel good, that's all.
Wanna hear power ... By: 10050cielo. on 06 Aug 08, 14:40:28 Wanna hear power pop harmonies? Check out Big Star's double CD "Radio City/#1 Record. Big Star was the finest power pop act ever, and deserved attention more than any of them, but they got lost in the shuffle, due to a lousy record deal. "Ballad of El Goodo" is the definitive power pop song, period.
That said, I adored the Raspberries! What a song this is! There used to be a link on an Eric Carmen or Raspberries page that featured then rehearsing "Tonight"...live! Omigod...

As if the Bay City ... By: ktoad4. on 14 Jul 08, 01:35:51 As if the Bay City Rollers could actually sing or play instruments. Give me a break! And before I get fired upon, I saw the BCR's at Philly's Tower Theater back in '76 or '77. I was screaming in the audience with my tartan's on, so when I say that those guys are talentless jerks, I know what I'm talking about.
A great make out ... By: rubbersoul1957. on 16 Jun 08, 03:36:01 A great make out song in my teen years! Thanks for the memories...........

Even after all these years, he can still make me feel like a hormonally driven adolescent!
Well, I prefer the ... By: CanadaNS. on 26 May 08, 00:20:51 Well, I prefer the Bay City Rollers so of course I would like thier version better. If I had been born in a different time , maybe I would like the Raspberries version. I didn't say they didn't have talent!
To state that you ... By: 50sResearchCenter. on 25 May 08, 21:51:38 To state that you like The Bay City Rollers version better than the original by The Raspberries is like preferring "A hard day's night" by Peter Sellers better than The Beatles' version.............. The Raspberries were really a top class act with a lot of talent.
the raspberries are ... By: pimpcane27. on 18 May 08, 02:02:40 the raspberries are so cool you guys rock you should do one more gig for the fans your a hard rocker
The finest song ... By: winifredatwell. on 11 May 08, 01:36:30 The finest song from one of the most criminally under-rated singers in popular music. Super-song by a virtuoso vocalist. No better power-pop band ever, even compared to Badfinger and today's Coldplay
I like the BCR ... By: CanadaNS. on 26 Apr 08, 13:56:30 I like the BCR version better!!
Badfinger performs Believe Me - Live vocals over album version. Tom Evans song from the classic LP No Dice. Raspberries, Badfinger and Big Star carried the torch after The Beatles.
Thank you, Chevy505 ... By: zzladybug. on 14 Nov 08, 00:18:10 Thank you, Chevy505, for all of your Badfinger videos. This is such a great song!!! I agree with the others - It's cool looking when they move in sync. Love the lyrics.

this is an awesome ... By: hayescon. on 02 Nov 08, 04:00:49 this is an awesome video. Tom Evans has a beautiful voice. I acually saw Badfinger perform in 1970 and had the pleasure of meeting the band. Glad their music still lives on.
It is cool looking ... By: solitudeseeker. on 31 Oct 08, 03:11:20 It is cool looking when they move in sync. I think it's a common thing for singers to back away from the mike when it's time to inhale, so the gasp isn't audible to the audience.
Never noticed that. ... By: 1ccgrand. on 20 Oct 08, 02:05:28 Never noticed that. Thanks for posting it. I think it looks good too.
I love this video ... By: NezMaccaHam. on 19 Oct 08, 04:57:20 I love this video so much.
They harmonized like nobody's business!
I randomly like 1:10 when Pete, Tom, and Joey move their heads at the same time away from the mic. I think it looks pretty neat ( i know, i'm weird).
They end is pretty funny. "An accident." Thanks!
Thanks chevy505, ... By: rkjmd. on 18 Sep 08, 23:03:44 Thanks chevy505, this rare footage of Badfinger is fantastic. Believe Me is a heartbreakingly beautiful song. It's great to see them in their prime, at their best, before all the tragedies.

But I also find it (unusually for Badfinger) derivative - the guitar intro. is straight out of 'Let It Be' and the first few lines of each verse are melodically a copy of 'Oh! Darling' - understandable, I guess, given that McCartney was their mentor.

Thanks, chevy505! ... By: bostonbrat2. on 28 Sep 08, 19:40:52 Thanks, chevy505! It is good to see Pete Ham happy while performing. Yes, the vox are live.

BADFINGER finished and two members killed themselves because people are greed and selfish. Nobody, not even The Beatles, wanted to help them in despair. People care for money more than other in need persons. Lawyers and executives are PARASITES AND BASTARDS.

If you had your ... By: tommylord. on 23 Sep 08, 17:42:14 If you had your eyes closed you might think this was Cream, upon first hearing it.
If the song had been around earlier, it would have fit in Cream's repitoire nicely, IMHO.
Clapton and Bruce could share lead vocals just as Molland and Evans do here.
Not to downplay this performance. It is smoking hot in every way.

God! Why does it ... By: ZarkonZeus. on 08 Aug 08, 22:49:24 God! Why does it seem like only a matter of time before the world recognizes what a talent we lost in Pete Ham. He's playing lead, a slide with Wah-Wah impeccably, with feeling, hooks and melody, taking a mundane riff of a song and creating magic! The version on Straight Up is fantastic, too.

Also, how in the fuck could Pete write any good music with aLL THE SHIT SWIRLIN AROUND HIM??? His house in foreclosure? His wife pregnant? No cash coming in? Badfinger taking out all the shit on each other because of their cocksucking embezzling manager??? Lennon and McCartney couldn't write under all these pressures!!! Pete, i'm sure we missed your best. Also, Dixe (Baby Blue) where are you???

Live performance with Badfinger former members Tom Evans and Bob Jackson. The third U.K. single of this excellent pop band from 1976. Lead vocal by John Wilson who also wrote this song. Paul Hooper was the drummer.

Metz & Tmpsn may have been there, but TRK wasn't there for ACM or their Names, Tags performance on Midnite Spec. Ted came to the front, and remained there thru the "Bites Back" tour in '75, which was Jim, Ted, D.Vaught (bass), L.Brown (Guitar), Maurice Miller (Drums) and Dwayne Someone (blind keyboardist). Ted played bass on "The Wedding Song" when I saw them at Astroworld. Still, a great performing band.
To answer your ... By: ronniedarkguitar. on 20 Aug 08, 05:15:31 To answer your question, The Association circa 1973 was:

John, it wasn't the ... By: itsfreetodream. on 23 May 08, 21:18:44 John, it wasn't the Wolfman's fault. They kept forgetting to bring the lighter fluid. They were simply very understated guys, for jazz-oriented, mellower, more mature musical tastes. Which is why I myself deserted them at 14 for the flashier likes of Yes. I probably missed this appearance precisely because no one like Yes was on that night. That's also why their appeal has grown for me now that I'm older. They sort of lurked on the oldies station, and then snuck back up on me.
This band should ... By: tandolin2. on 23 May 08, 18:34:53 This band should have had a full, long set, that night. What the heck was the Wolfman thinking? It is like tasting a hot fudge sundae for only 5 seconds...not fair, not right! They sound SO good here, too! BOO on the Wolfman.

cardiac arrest you just induced, I'll
give some thought to looking up that
listing and dialling it, provided I
have also figured out how to do that
without sounding like a drooling freak.
I keep vowing to restrain myself in these
comments and people like you are making
that extremely difficult. Thank you.
Even if he's come to his senses and removed
the listing by now, you gave me the
happiest delusion of my life for about
five minutes.
When Terry used to ... By: sagittoo. on 11 May 08, 05:48:20 When Terry used to check in to chat, he once said that he's listed in the central L.A. phone book. He felt that if anyone wanted to talk with him it shouldn't have to be a difficult task.

To itsfreetodream: ... By: sagittoo. on 09 May 08, 03:37:50 To itsfreetodream: The AAA website is owned and operated by Dave Bulmer. I'm not sure why he decided to drop all reference to the group. If you e-mailed him via his site, he'd probably explain. When he was having financial problems keeping it alive, he asked for donations. I sent him 25 bucks. It turned out he didn't need it after all. He sent the money back to me with a classic pamphlet on the band. He earned my respect.

I saw it a few years ago and it seemed to be about the band. Now it seems like it's somebody's site about his own political views. I wish I'd known about it back when Terry and Jules were contributing. How cool that would've been to read.

Many of you are ... By: sagittoo. on 02 May 08, 03:43:15 Many of you are probably aware of a site a few years back called The Association Aggregation Admiration. It even had non-CD quality audio of virtually all of the songs. Terry and Jules used to contribute their thoughts on a regular basis. The others checked in occasionally with the exception of Russ. If the new site is even a fraction as good, it will be worth the wait. If they won't let you post the link, how will we know where it is?
The new website ... By: tandolin2. on 28 Apr 08, 20:08:32 The new website will be awesome! It is being constructed by one of the members daughters, with help from all the group members and myself. Photos and memorabilia from my personal 40 year collection are there, too. It will be up soon, and you will enjoy it. Concert dates and much more will be included. Youtube will not let me post the link. John A.
Talk of the RRHF is ... By: sagittoo. on 28 Apr 08, 11:49:40 Talk of the RRHF is a nice thought but hardly realistic. Any group with "pop" overtones is not even considered by the "lords" of what is hip and sacred. This band get less respect than Rodney Dangerfield. It took the Vocal Group HOF in PA years before they inducted The Association. Yet, what does it matter. Their music lives 4 decades beyond the peak. What's this about a new website on the group?
Twiggy, as soon as ... By: tandolin2. on 07 Apr 08, 14:39:43 Twiggy, as soon as the new site is running, we can send in some type of write in campaign to the hall. A large number of emails/snail-mails should wake them up! John A.

What a sad story - a fantastic band ruined by a corrupt manager, who stole so much of their money and caused Peter Ham (who wrote this song) to hang himself. Hopefully they won't be forgotten.
By: Vidwatchuk. on 14 Nov 08, 22:56:12
Badfinger wrote and performed this song great so fuck Harry Nilsson's and anyone else that fucked it up.....R.I.P Pete
By: brownsugah66. on 14 Nov 08, 11:00:26
They did not receive royalties for a very long time ...much of their royalties had become tangled up in red tape ,... and a lot of their royalty money vanished in the 70's approximately 600,000 that is accounted for and more that was unaccounted for...it was taken by their manager Stan Polley
By: SinKroniz. on 13 Nov 08, 07:51:13
I'll take Harry Nilsson's version over this any day!!!
By: rkjmd. on 11 Nov 08, 10:26:36
The original is still the greatest. But Nilsson saw the true potential of the song. He recorded it in the same studio where the Badfinger boys were working on their next album. Pete and Tom heard it and were blown away. I like the clipped Badfinger version, but the big Nilsson version has become the standard.
By: AS859. on 10 Nov 08, 15:17:57
To some degree true. But I guarantee most of the songs you like and enjoy have been re released at some stage or another? And as for this ignorant comment, 'people like this made nothing from this song,' have you not heard of royalties and copyright protection?
By: pef286. on 09 Nov 08, 03:12:38
"Badfinger - Without You - Peter Ham" RIP Pete Ham and Tom Evans. Both took their own lives.
By: tididi123. on 09 Nov 08, 02:13:02
Badfinger were stolen by lennon. Nilsson is a fucking man remember the lost lost week-end... Badfinger desereve most than be a B side off the Beatles.
By: SteveCass7311. on 08 Nov 08, 21:04:43
Mariah who? - Anyone who insists on having a carpet of rose petals laid from their dressing room to the stage thinks far too much of themselves! She should be thankful that people wrote songs like this in the first place. It's wicked that people like this made nothing from this song, whilst it just added to the millions that she has earned. Oh she looked so sincere and interested on X Factor tonight. - Yawn!
By: aziza024. on 08 Nov 08, 19:14:22
i disagree she did not distroy it, you are exagerating! yet the original version is good, hers is different but also good :)
By: Crostaman. on 08 Nov 08, 18:50:45
I hear this song and see the guys in the video, and I can believe the say it for real, or at least one of them once made this song from his heart, not like Maria Carey, overperforming, with too much feeling and fake expresion.

By: jerrybames. on 01 Nov 08, 22:04:40
Mariah Carey's version. I'm sorry I dont usually insult people but she utterly destroyed a great song you need a new set of ears if you think she can sing let alone pull of a classic
