LIVE AT BUDOKAN 1974 (1996)


LIVE AT BUDOKAN unfortunatly is a Japanese-only release and probably will never be released to other countries.   It is said that it is only a Japanese release because the original master tape no longer exists, and all versions available ONLY include Japanese subtitles (which can be annoying at times).  This was released in Japan on VHS in 1996 and on DVD in 2000.

3. Opening Medley:
Superstar
Rainy Days and Mondays
Goodbye to Love

CLOSE TO YOU - REMEMBERING THE CARPENTERS. (1998 doccumentary)
A unique Richard Carpenter done documentary which originally aired on PBS.  It features an ENCORE - not shown on PBS!
DVD and VHS include the following FULL performances:
(A Place to) Hideaway (from the Make Your Own Kind of Music special)
Potato Chip Commercial
Ave Maria (from the A Christmas Portrait special).

The worst part of this collection is the lack of FULL performances (like the Karen/ Ella Medley and Merry Christmas, Darling.
Nevertheless, a NICE documentary!
AVAILABLE ON VHS AND DVD.
