Nobody will ever be better than her. Nobody. Such an insanely talented person, who was way ahead of her time.

[@divaslive6953]

In my 25 years of existence, she's the only singer that makes me stops whatever I am doing just to listen to her. I've had heared many singers and even those they called "DIVAS", but none of them give me the same impact, feelings and emotions. KAREN is in a league of her own and she's alone there. 💕💞💝💪💪💪

[@kennethhaist1359]

That beautiful voice I still love it after all these years ❤️ Rip I miss her

[@lgic1]

No doubt, Karen at her best. The greatest female singing voice of all time.

[@normajohnston1593]

I was 32 at that tme and I have't seen anyone better! I cried my heart out when she died, and cry every time I liisten to her wonderful songs.

[@lgic1]

I agree, that is the best live performance I've seen. From the moment I started watching, there is something very special.

[@bruschmidt9943]

It's Karen. Once she starts singing, we can't take our eyes off her!

[@aammirr]

The best singing drummer ever !

[@CeeCeeable]

I still have to hear somebody sing as beautiful as Karen..Her voice is so unique...no equal!! Thanks for sharing..

[@applepie238]

a beautiful 22 year old with a gorgeous golden voice, R I P beautiful angel. xxx.

[@vogt1949]

I sang lead in hard blues band for 15 years in the 60's and 70's doing Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson type stuff, but Karen was always one of my guilty pleasures. Such an angelic voice and so beautiful. A sad end to such a towering talent! I wish she was still here!

[@roccosophie6498]

Even today, whenever Karen sings, so do the angels. She's the single greatest pop music singing star of our lifetime.

[@waynetietz380]

I've always regretted not seeing the Carpenters live in person. I'm really glad to see these films of them performing live on KZbin.

[@tweetybird2968]

Awww......how beautiful she is. When she first started singing she already had that special something. But gee wiz, from her first recording to this, just a few years later, how much she grew up and just blossomed into such a beautiful young lady. Perfecting that sound of hers!!! Definitely gone to soon. Thank you Karen for all you left with us!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@shilack2]

Doubt you ever will hear anyone sing as beautiful as she did. I didn't like all their music sometimes, but god did I love her voice...simply amazing.

[@improvguru]

There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe the glory that is Karen Carpenter.

[@no1cfielder]

Thank you for this live posting. Karen sings "For All We Know" so expressively that it's amazing to consider she's keeping the beat for the song at the same time on her hi-hat.

[@reston81]

Sheky very well written post on the great karen carpenter. She is and and always will be the best female singer ever. She is flawless. It's amazing she had no formal training. God bless karen.

[@roydidlock1012]

AMEN!

[@trishanurse36]

makes me cry

[@sunsunnydayz]

I wish I couldve been there!

[@shekygreene]

Even now, and this song was recorded when I was in junior high school (9th grade), I can only now appreciate what a remarkably talented singer and performer she was. The girl did not make mistakes, hit a bad note, never. She is like an angel singing on earth. I have a few years left, but don't believe I will ever find another voice like hers again. She never had formal training, she just sang as she played drums. We will may never find her kind again, at least not for a long time.

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

Her presentation/demeanor, her sense of humor and simple beauty. Everything aligned perfectly for everyone to see.

[@trumpetsharps4496]

I dedicate these two songs to the memory of my parents, may their love continue to grow.

[@eddie10241]

Karen Carpenter's voice could stop the world in it's track.

[@merkules2001]

God given talent. This was playing in my house growing up. Panasonic record/8 track player.

[@Jeff160x]

I was in high school and college when Karen & Richard were at their peak. How blessed I was to have been alive with her...and what a huge loss it was when she left us. Though I never met her, Karen is like family; and the Carpenters Christmas albums are part of our lives each season.

[@desbalangue]

we celebrated 42 happy years recently and we enjoyed listening to this beautiful song while driving around Victoria, Australia. Perfect song for two on the road in search for Victoria's secrets.

[@rolfeuph]

I was 20 years old in 1972 and madly in love with miss Carpenter and the music.R.I.P.God bless Karen

[@dreamyblue44]

Love this footage, and love the Carpenters! :-)

[@JerryDArezzo]

Absolute dream

[@CherubimandAngels]

Karen Capenter,no doubt, is a visitor from God's Heavenly Choir.

[@mochichi7]

even the orchestra leader was singing along on the "waas" at the end...she had the audience in the palm of her hands...

[@angelicvoice83]

woooooowwwww.....now thats an angel

[@t0day]

Uplifting voice...Love u Karen.....

[@takiskyritsis889]

The Carpenter's, the best!!!

[@anaalban8836]

Qué preciosa voz, incomparable. Karen Carpenter, fue un Ángel que pasó por éste mundo. Cuánta belleza y paz en su canto.

[@jundiwa]

She is so beautiful in this concert...

[@leonardyuhas9927]

THE GREATEST ...

[@brotherjohn25]

Beautiful voice. Reminds me so much of my childhood. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@PatrickHoenig98]

The most beautiful voice in the world.

[@joey0077d]

I wouldn't think this was live. WOW what a voice!

[@thehistorywatcher]

Wish I could have met her.

[@No1KCfan6]

wow...sound just like the studio recordings. i can never get enough of karen's voice.

[@creativedrumming]

She's the best

[@Licmycat]

OMG! This just made me remember how I loved lookin' at stars as a child, and now they are ALIVE!

[@danielman8700]

Thanks for uploading this video to youtube, it's very beautiful to see the Carpenters unreleased recordings! Thank you!

[@nicestrat]

I am just so honored to have walked on this earth for 18 years while Karen was alive....

[@1LHPrincess]

Between Joe Osborn's bass and Karens voice I could just time travel to the best time in my life.

[@kornflakes3]

Love her voice

[@enemigodelashit]

:O wow this was awesome

[@2385ironman]

i definitely love this song,soooooooooooooo sweeeetttttttt!!!!

[@75tm400]

In my opinion, best song they ever did.

[@AdemPresley]

Excellent ********** Thank Dreams281 for sharing

[@bodaciouscowboy]

Thanks neroli for posting all this Carpenters concert footage, which we'd never be able to see anywhere else!

[@spencerrich]

I don't understand the charge that they were wooden on stage--her stage presence is phenomenal.

[@Coupydog]

Totally mesmerizing as if she was the only one up there. I can't focus on anyone else

[@GCSmith]

Among so many things that made the Carpenters so superior -- they worked very hard to duplicate the sound of their hit recordings in concert, to the delight of the audiences. Most other top groups tend to get sloppy and sink into inferior improvs in their concerts.

[@ingscram]

thank you for posting this. look at her face, so beautiful. Fame was new and she was thrilled to be there. Fantastic.

[@Pimp-Master]

I felt that the Carpenters literally kept America together because of their very popular music that truly entertained. 1970 otherwise didn't have such great news.

[@mnlght0snt]

Wow look at the Crowd! Love it ;) My favorites in one video :) PERFECT :)

[@xander7ful]

If the music industry made a U-turn and started producing music this good again, kids and adults would buy it in droves and their profits would go through the roof. Get smart music industry!! Young people are getting sick of the trash you give them and we adults want a return to this kind of music.

[@rexbob7]

Karen was just beautiful in this video. Who ever was in charge of them back then should have seen what Karen was doing. She looked just beautiful in this video.

[@bruschmidt9943]

...or overseen what Karen was doing. Her hair & wardrobe designer she hired in 1973 was the beginning of her downfall. The outfits, hair & makeup they dressed her in aged her appearance & accentuated any weight she gained.

[@lgic1]

Thanks for sharing

[@sisterlead02]

wonderful!

[@Dvcfour]

Life is so strange. What a heavenly voice. Shame

[@BJrok]

If the audio is disturbing I always skip it. This...I just couldn't.

[@estranhoyou]

Que bom ver mais um brasileiro com bom gosto musical!! tenho 35 e Carpenters e outros marcaram minha infância!

[@TheRosepetal33]

We miss you Karen.

[@yourimageunreels]

This reminds me of Junior high school.

[@luistromb]

Woww que voz tan hermosa la de KAREN ..la escucho y me hace soñar,reir.llorar de emoción hace que mi cuerpo entero vibre de emoción , es increible como una mujer puede lograr eso en mi, ella es la mejor de todos los tiempos la mejor cantante de la historia ..gracias KAREN donde quiera que estés, eres la MAS BELLA DE TODAS!!

[@thegenie1966]

This is the very reason that Susan Boyle crashed so hard on the scene. People are hungry for real singers, not just those that can screech out loud, sustained notes, but can also sing subtle, complex music that is not only inspirational, but covers even those emotions and tones that are not so intense. People are really hungry for this music again.

[@TexasJim1956]

@skunkus1 I couldn't agree more!

[@gustavochuck]

I LOVE THAT WOMAN................

[@elianecruzdarocha8495]

Definitivamente Carpenters sempre será eterno, suas música respiram a essência do amor. Curto demais!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@claudiafreitaslorre1095]

Se quiseres conhecer a voz de um anjo escute karen carpenter cantar

[@Gazpacho09]

einer der schönsten Stimmen der Welt!

[@bobdowne4real]

This is superb, was Karen ever in better voice? ...the venue is actually Melbourne's historic Festival Hall.

[@roydidlock1012]

Yes, this is a taping of the performance there on May,24,1972 and broadcast by HSV 7 at 8.00pm on June 21,1972.

[@cd72]

I think at that time, they didn't have color tv in Australia back then...what I was told...

[@roydidlock1012]

You were told correctly. Colour TV began officially in Australia on March 1,1975. Starting about 1973/74 TV networks in Australia began producing shows in colour in anticipation of being repeated after the introduction of colour tv. This was just too early unfortunately.

[@vivaselena1]

Unfortunately they dont make music like this anymore! The music of today SUCKS!

[@AnjoOrtega]

yeah i agree as what bodaciouscowboy says, thank you very much

[@canaldaprosperidadeprofmas9505]

Karen, On the day that you were born, the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true (あなたが生まれた日に 天使たちが集まった そして夢を実現することを決意しました)

[@spencerrich]

I'm gonna have to disagree about Madonna--"Love Don't Live Here," "Take a Bow;" still, she's no Karen Carpenter!! This performance is just--God, it's overwhelming.

[@RosalindRowe]

Always liked the Carpenters - pity about Karen.

[@landofdreamsPSL]

@bumiputrax David Duchovny was about 12 years old when this was made . . .

[@bumiputrax]

@cdaniels, look what you've done! Do my eyes deceive me or is that David Duchovny on guitar & singing in the 2nd half? Ah, I miss Karen C.!

[@EnriqueSantiagofly]

She sang better than Britney Spears, Madonna, Aguilera, etc. etc.

[@cruiseguyhawaii]

The tempo was much too quick

[@cdaniels7689]

Is it just me, or does the guy playing the clairanet, look like Chuck Norris back in the day?
