Amazing that these tapes from 50 years ago are still available! This gives current-day Carpenters fans a real insight into how the touring shows were designed to appeal to everybody in the audience - from teens to seniors. the *Talk of The Town* was an upscale venue in London - not a big venue, but very fashionable and one of THE places to go if you were cashed-up and wanted to rub shoulders with the "in crowd" and wealthy Londoners. Celebrities were usually in the audience - not just on stage.

Every time I've heard her voice since she passed, I've been slammed by the tragedy of her death and the loss of that fabulous voice.

Yes,, and it's actually quite bizarre that she faced accusations of not being a very charismatic live performer, and that she and Richard, urged on by new management, felt compelled to introduce more gimmicky numbers to their later live shows in an attempt to add more "pizazz" or "oomph". I hadn't watched this particular show for a few years, and the one thing that jumped out to me when I watched it a few days, 50 years to the day after it was first transmitted, was how engaged Karen was with the audience. I also love the way that she made subtle changes of intonation and phrasing from the recorded version of the songs, meaning that we got the best of both worlds: her marvellous voice and peerless vocalisation, but at the same time an entirely fresh version of each of the songs, all of which added to the impression that she was singing "just for you".
