[@rhondawilkins_]

Dearest Eric, We, the fans just received the news of your passing into the light of ETERNITY. You are a brilliant lyricist, Pianist, singer and your ART will always be on our 💕 hearts. Sending love to your dear wife Amy Carmen in Cleveland, Ohio. See you on the Heaven side, Rhonda ( GEN X, 1965) MARCH 10,2024

[@aggiesjc]

RIP, Eric. Seeing this video and having seen All By Myself performed at the 2007 Raspberries LA show, it really stands out how remarkable it was -- never would have imagined getting to see EC sing this song backed by the guys. One of those very special things in life.

R.I.P. Eric Carmen who passed away yesterday, March 11, 2024. Rest in peace and thank you for your music. 😢🎤🎸🙏😇

[@jpodunk60]

The always underappreciated, underrecognized pure musical genius of Eric Carmen.

[@chipgaasche4933]

Stupid comment. He's both recognized AND appreciated.

[@kentjensen4504]

@@chipgaasche4933 Yes, he is recognized and appreciated but if the person thinks he should be even more recognized and appreciated that means that he is, from that person's perspective, underrecognized and underappreciated. I for example think Sir Michael Caine deserves even more praise than he gets, even though he clealry get s alot of praise. Can you follow that, or am I gicing you a head ache?

[@beatlebarb64]

Such a handsome, stellar musician and singer! Soar the universe Eric,,,,thanks for the music!

[@Lia3246]

Eric Carmem. 😢Rest in peace and thank you for your music 🎶 . You are beautiful. 😢

[@randytolen9531]

Perhaps one of the best songs ever written.

[@amydrew5746]

Thank goodness for fan recordings like this!!! How wonderful that we have it.

[@karmicselling4252]

It was great that Eric performed this song with the rest of the boys. And wonderful to hear Wally play that beautiful guitar solo that was brilliantly performed by Hugh McCracken on Eric's original solo recording.

[@jacwood22]

One of the most sorrowful, touching songs ever.

[@wimklerprins58]

I was in the audience that night , came all the way from Holland to see them twice that weekend and meet the guys. It was an amazing night. Eric hits the high notes even better than ever before..

[@PatriciaJensen-b6m]

Fly high, fly free, brilliant and beautiful angel 😇

[@richneuman9113]

Rest In Paradise, Eric!!❤🎉

[@JasonColegrove-n7g]

R.I.P. Eric Carmen you wull be missed

[@yaric0314]

It is a famous tune left in history eternally definitely. ERIC is a great musician.

[@luminitadobrescu]

A BIG OSKAR FOR ERIC CARMEN,FOR THIS AMAZING TALENT,FOR THIS AMAZING PIANIST...! SUCH A LOVE TO SING THE GREATEST SONG IN THE WORLD ! HE IS A GENIUS ,BELEAVE ME !

[@minwoocho1]

This is one of most emotional performances I've seen

[@stormphoenix14]

🥀💔😭 I was just groovin to “If You Change your Mind” (my favorite ) & the Rasberries concert at The House of Blues on YT this month. Huge loss to the music world. Eric made such beautiful, sad, yet also powerful rock guitar symphonies all at once. Gave me chills over the decades since I heard the Raspberries first come out on the radio. A voice and music truely eternal that lifts my spirits no matter what life throws my way…..but gotta admit this is the worst part of a being in a rock/melody love affair, when a Muse is called back to Heaven. My heart is broken and I can only be so thankful to have lived & listened to the best bands and singers of the rock and roll era. Oh yeah, I still have the albums. Eric and The Raspberries will always be pure gold…and you bet I’m listening tonight and for as long as I live. Rock on forever, Eric.

[@laurastone6578]

Man, Eric sounds FANTASTIC!

[@AlTavers]

WOW! I am impressed! I can see (and HEAR) that he's obviously NOT one of those who should have just accepted retiring. Amazing, indeed! I saw him back in the mid 70s. He opened for America - and was just as entertaining. At the time, he was riding high on this hit. He started out by doing some mellow stuff, then all of a sudden one spotlight was focused one of the guitarists, and he slammed out the opening chords of "Go All The Way." The audience went nuts!

[@helengiallombardo4077]

I can only imagine!!! What a rush that must have been!!!

[@marke891]

​@@helengiallombardo4077 I always loved The Raspberries Eic, Wally, Dave, Jim, & later Raspberries Scott McCarl & Michael McBride. When Raspberries broke up & Eric went solo he took Michael with him and had a great band with him. Saw him 2x at NY Bottom Line where he was at the piano for the 1st part of the Show & then got up & strapped on his guitar and said LET'S ROCK & ROLL. and brought the house down. In 1976 he & band were The Opening Act for America at Nassau Coliseum. Only 2 members of America performed that night and after hearing Eric & Band half of the Coliseum headed for the exits after a few songs. America made a huge mistake having Eric open for them. They should have gone on first. NO ONE COULD FOLLOW ERIC & BAND SOLO OR WITH THE RASPBERRIES.

[@MultiEviscerator]

He still has a great voice. For those who implied he has slipped some, remember the acoustics, equipment(board, mic, etc.) are not studio quality. I give him credit for doing it straight up live without any vocal assistance like auto tune. Few performers have the voice or guts to go it alone vocally like he does. Even considering his age ND all the aforementioned, he still has a great voice, and is a consummate live performer.

[@karenannciccone1854]

+yawns smith I agree ....it's not just the voice that counts. It is the delivery and how it affects who is listening to it. He still has it.....always will...because it comes from where you can't see or hear it....the heart.

[@helengiallombardo4077]

Absolutely!!!!

[@elainelong2422]

Fantastic! Eric Carmen is a great musician

[@litafitzwater3998]

This songs was the soundtrack, for all the unrequited love of teenagers…., of the 70’s …

[@reenabrock6038]

Bravo, Mr. Carmen

[@michellemarie123]

He just amazes me. ❤️

[@jonathanprobber]

I was at this show...was completely luscious. This was the second time I'd seen the band..first was in 1974 or so, at the Bottom Line, also in NYC. Was the McBride and McCarl lineup then, I think. Great to see the originals, and see them play so well. Thanks for putting this up.

[@minwoocho1]

Great performance

[@LorraineD2805]

brings tears in my eyes...

[@sidneallread9632]

Eric's "woah ooh wha ooh woah"... just before the guitar solo... so much so that I miss it when I hear any other version.. lol Eric sounds great... fantastic... thanks again..

[@BTTFII]

I was fortunate enough to make the New York sold out show at the BB King theater as a VIP but it was the second of two West Hollywoood HOB shows were I finally watched Eric perform this super hit. I need another reunion tour. Where are the guys today.

[@williamkopanchuk]

Amazing!!!!

[@DonGomez007]

What a gem of a video...thanks Maggie for this treasure - the The Raspberries rock on!

[@lindabrown682]

Just love his music all by myself 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👍it takes me back the good old days.

[@MaggieClarkePhD]

Yes, he does and they all still play this well.

[@inwoodliver]

Thank you Maggie for a great video, a true classic song that will always be remembered in years to come.

[@magentarose6]

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. Wish I could have been there.

[@ortigasraymundo]

ERIC PLEASE COME TO MANILA!!! We would like to hear ur soulful ballads.

[@jonathannieto3111]

Eric Carmen, un genio, gran voz, inolvidable, Raspberries, (Su disco de vinyl con aroma de fresas), recordada banda, "All by myself", cancion eterna. Rachmaninoff, catedra de la musica clasica. Amazing. For ever, Eric Carmen.

[@jillrosewarne936]

sublime!

[@LuvIzAhl]

Will see them in concert, for sure, when they play nearby (within a five hour radious). They're the Best!

[@yooperlooper]

Eric Carmen never had a really great voice but his musical talent and creativity made up for it. This piece has always been one of my fav's oh and yes, in agreemend with coreyruetten, his hair ROCKS

[@MaggieClarkePhD]

They're not old geezers! The fact that they still put on as good a show as they ever did by definition leaves them well out of the geezer category. In fact I would travel again to see them play.

[@ojmccaf63]

DAMN SONG PREDICTED MY FUTURE!!! THANKS ALOT ERIC!!!!!!

[@biblereader76]

Whew! Still the best.

[@danitamoore2899]

❤ Remarkable entertainer, he will be missed...Hopefully, Blessed on heaven..

[@michellemarie123]

Amazing! I hope and pray that he might do a few more performances, and that I am lucky enough to catch one of them. ❤🙏🏻

[@sgtduti]

GOOD, VERY GOOD!

[@ojmccaf63]

Swear this song predicted my future….thanks alot Wric 😢😢😢

[@daletwin1]

I took vocal lessons also. I sang in a couple of bands and play several instruments. Also, my mother was a professional singer who won a singing contest. I know music, too. I mentioned your comment to another professional musician and singer and he disagreed with you, too . Taking singing lessons doesn't mean you can sing everything and anything or that you have the same vocal range of another singer. Eric Carmen, in his prime, had a great voice. If you studied voice, you should know that.

[@ClubViking63]

I just cant take that to me, it is too good. Now I listen to Brian Wilson new CD.... but Eric C will always be a fav to me

[@d.g.degennaro2464]

Bad ass, another song that will be played next 50 years or more...

[@deeeecraig]

This goes to show you how much better all 4 Raspberries are together than when they are apart. This has more character than the solo version.

[@virginiaelkins2882]

He was on his own when he did this one, I think. He had already left the Rasberries.

[@sergiocorrea2514]

Ouvir músicas maravilhosas e outra coisa... estou viajando no tempo não me acorde.. não me acorde por favor... 💙❤

[@larrycom]

Awesome!

[@ultraseven9749]

Essa música fez parte da minha adolescência nos anos 70. Eu morava em Natal RN. Parece com a noite de Natal cheia de luzes

hermoso como siempre 👏❤👏❤👏❤👏

[@joellaucl]

Surprisingly, Eric's version gets better as aged wine

[@cynthiawhite8868]

Wow again

[@naughtmoses]

Back story: A =lot= of processing here. Pretty sure Wally couldn't have even dreamed of playing live lead on this during the painful "divorce" and the Eric-on-Arista / Tattoo-on-Motown era in '76. But time does heal some wounds, and -- to refer to Don Henley's metaphor -- hell thawed about 28 years later. So we have this and the remarkable DVD and CD of the Raspberries Live On Sunset Strip to prove it. (Credit Eric for shelling out the cash from his songwriting earnings to finance all this.)

[@helengiallombardo4077]

Right! Having this song on this Raspberries live gig could be consisted a bit of a miracle considering the painful breakup And Wally played that iconic solo beautifully!

[@merciacamposdoamaral2660]

amo muito sua voz você é o melhor cantor do mundo

[@ClubViking63]

Thanks Maggie for this clip! Sounds the same as he did it longggg time ago! Is he never getting older? Just glad he does not have that haircut he had in the 80´s!!

[@Sae472]

R.I.P Eric Carmen! Died in his sleep!

[@flyxa301]

Rip Eric

[@ismeniavazquez]

Eric unbelievable in this show. By the way I didn't know the comments space was for gosippy people too.

[@virginiaelkins2882]

Just wow! I wish he would do a piano album. I tried to find his Twitter account to ask him, but looks like he’s off Twitter; no doubt bc of the trolls. I could listen to him play piano forever.

[@helengiallombardo4077]

I had that same thought!!!

[@yooperlooper]

After studying voice for 14 years . . . . . I bet I can :-) . . . . but thanks for thinking of me.

[@ClubViking63]

He still sings this good?

[@ZoeSummers1701A]

I have the exact same keyboard and mines never sounded so wonderful...

[@Kiyo7]

最高やな！
