Carpenters (Quad Mix) Goodbye To Love HD 

Tony Peluso.... magnificent......... One of the best guitar breaks of all time....

My friend Tony Peluso.....Playing the electric guitar.....RIP Tony.....I cried hen he passed....:(''''''

Whenever I try to refuse when my aunts and uncles ask me to do something for them like washing dishes I just keep in my mind that the music of their decade is way better than today.

Carpenters is like a wine, getting better by time. The priceless treasure for music.

Every time one of my guys talks smack saying " The Carpenters " were too " vanilla " for their taste, I casually mention that this song was the actual FIRST " Power Ballad " that all rock groups have made standard.

Probably my favorite Carpenters' song.

So amazing! I never tire of the Carpenters and this song in particular... she makes those lyrics mean more than they say!

One of the greatest songs ever !! 2:25 onwards is the whole of the 70s jammed into one guitar solo 🎸music will never sound this good ever again.

I always thought this song was so underrated by fans and radio alike when it was released. This is a super song that somehow makes me think Karen felt this song in her heart more than we knew at the time. Miss her so much. No one else like her before or since she left us.

From the drum started right before the long 'AH' to the end of the song, it is just ... Best of the best!

we always lose the beautiful people, talented and extremely professional, every Dad would have loved to have Karen as his daughter, just be honoured we can still hear that flawless, mesmerising voice, Karen still has the finest voice of any female singer

This is the best video that I have seen of “Goodbye To Love”. The Carpenters were definitely an incredibly talented group and Karen Carpenter had an amazing, unique voice. Sadly, she had an unhappy life and died way too soon.

Beautiful vocalist who was & will be forever in a league of her own...absolute class.....Respect.

I loved Karen & always will do, the voice of an angel

She had an extraordinary gift and she continues to be missed by so many after all these years.

The play out is masterful. Layered harmonies overlaid by superb Peluso playing. Does not get much better...

Such dedication to perfection.never to be replaced.

I could listen to this over and over. In fact, I do!

One of the great tragedies of the 20th Century. I was 19 when Karen Carpenter died, yet I still mourn her and I'm now 51! What a voice and what a band!

Think of the music the last 40 years we have lost because she could not beat her demons......RIP lovely lady

It was just today! having listened to The Carpenters all day! that I googled, to find out who played the electric guitar solo in the middle of Goodbye To Love? and, He's your friend! one of the best electric guitar solos of the whole Rock era! and, I have felt that, since I was 16?

Indeed! This is a Carpenter masterpiece. I still have it on A&M reel-to-reel @ 7/12 ips from 45 years ago! Interesting to hear the CD-4 quad LP version in a 2 channel mix. Sad to think that Karen passed away 35 years ago already... Thank you for taking the time to put this together with a perfectly-synched video montage and great HQ audio!

One of my all time favorites of theirs, so beautiful!

Superb song and masterful singing. RIP Karen.

During the quarantine I have been binge watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and the episode I just watch ended with this song. It sounded familiar. It was not the Carpenters version but beautiful non the less. So I did some Google surfing and now today I have listened to almost every version of this song sung by Karen and Richard Carpenter . What a beautiful song, song by a beautiful lady who left us way to soon

Every time I read about any good memory from any Karen fan, I cry myself, confirming yet again how much she touched millions of people all over the world and how fully she lived, constantly pursing perfection in music while not hesitating even to risk her own life in her struggles.

One of the greatest female voices of all time. Excellent quality audio.

A sad song song with a guitar solo provoking me to a head bang. Can we please applaud the electric guitar solo. Totally amazing!!!

Beautiful

Super quality. Excellent selection of footage. So tragic that someone so talented died so young.

A voice from Heaven.....I just love her.

Great Mix and DIDNT cut guitar solo short

The best upload of this on RU-vid. Contains great live footage of Karen, the band and of Tony Peluso's ground breaking fuzz electric guitar solo - infact two of them (1.28 and 2.52) - including the extended fade out at the end. The stills you chose are great too and complementary unlike some on RU-vid, designed to overemphasise her eating diosorder and obsess about it. This by contrast is tasteful, respectful and a great tribute to her and to this phenomenal song. THAAANKS!

Bittersweet and beautiful.

I remember when I saw VH-1’s “Behind The Music”-The Carpenters special in the late 90’s Tony Peluso mentioned that Richard Carpenter wanted a scorching guitar 🎸 solo for this track-Peluso thought”You’re crazy!”. Well if I remember right Peluso said he credited Richard Carpenter with inventing the power ballad with this record! I think that shows Richard Carpenter was a genius! What a departure for their sound I thought when I first heard it!!!

2:47 --- Breath-takingly adorable Karen.

Great video of them when they were at the top of their career in the 70's. Love everything about this and the footage of their tours. There never will be another group or music like this today where music sucks in the 2000's. Thanks for the post.

RIP Karen and guitarist Tony Peluso.

For me, this song means 2 things beyond it's overall beauty. 1) Karen is singing exactly what her future will be, and that makes me so sad. 2) Tony Peluso shredding that guitar....I can listen to that over and over, louder than my ears should take but God how I love it. I can't help but be so angry at her family for not seeing her sickness, but I understand. I've hid depression from my family and friends for decades. It's amazing what you can hide when you keep a smile on your face, and it's obvious that Karen learned that as well. I was 23 the day she died. I couldn't believe it. Tony is gone also. I bet he's making some great music where he's at now, and so is Karen.

this song is so sweet...the guitar solo is so amazing.i am 64 years old now,and karen still makes me cry.i love you sweet angel karen.

The added electric guitar in and towards the end of the song was actually I think makes this song that much more cooler.

An incredible guitar solo that takes you there and back again . irreplaceable in modern Rock/ Pop solos. .A favourite of many world class guitar soloists of different genres..Understandably so..

Who the hell voted this down? Man listen to that guitar at the end of this song. How can you people hate that?

Just like the Beatles, Carpenters will always be cool.

I cry when I hear that voice!!!!

Esa guitarra y la voz de Karen me asen llorar 😍

A lot of emotion went into this song with Karen's voice and Tony poluco on guitar

Fantastic sound engineering work.

I read that this was of all her music one of her favorites ! At 3.28 REST IN PEACE ANGEL !

She felt every word. That is what made her so special.

the angel Karen is now on some other planet, her mission here was complete

By listening this extraordinary Carpenters song we have to convince ourselfs about Tony Peluso's guitarist masterpeace beside Karen's golden voice !!

Hermoso Tema The Carpenters año 1972 Tremendo Solo de Guitarra del maestro Tony Peluso Que En Paz descanse

I absolutely love this song,the guitar solo is one of the best you will ever hear ❤💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

For top of the shelf bubblegum music one of the most awesome lead runs I've ever heard

Thank you for this video. Great sound !!! Hurts to see her so thin. Will be listening to them the rest of my life. No one compares to her. Such a feeling.

That guitar solo, goddamn!

Wow! These quadmixes are pretty

Richard Carpenter the “Genius” he always never disappoints and has such an amazing paint brush using God’s music! Karen was the “Angel” that sang out of God’s Light! Thank you for this amazing musically journey and the soundtrack to so many lives! Karen Carpenter is period “The best female vocalist “ EVER! Can’t be touch. Let’s not forget her genius brother Richard Carpenter producer, composer, musician extraordinary!

I've always loved this song x Ned

It's so strange. Back then there was genuine talent with people who were REAL artists. They became famous strictly because of their talent. Nowadays, there aren't any talented singers, songwriters or artists. I really think that the golden age of rock artists is long gone. My one wish is that the artists today were more focused on ART and not on money & fame.

So Glad to listen to those brilliant Quad Mix again

first I found Karen like excellent voice and after Richard - genius behind her shoulders - somebody who gived all this project special sound

Pure genius from Richard for adding Tony P guitar solo.....And KC was so pretty, if only she knew how many of us saw her

Thanks for the wonderful upload of a wonderful, song. one song that is depressing among many bright cheerful songs they made.

I always used to take the day of her passing off work. I'd then play all of the Carpenters studio & live albums as a tribute to the greatest female vocalist (in my opinion). Karen is simply a voice the drips, with pain, suffering and lost love. She is missed greatly.

Noted as the first hard rock ballad. After the first few takes, the late Tony Peluso's ending guitar coda was too "soft" for Richard, so he told him to "let 'er rip" and the rest is history. An epic performance!

themotownboy1 Truly enjoy your work sir, very well done!

her very best. you can feel the pain.

Just happened on this great version. Always been my favorite Carpenters song, too. Beautiful mix. THANKS!!

What an amazing solo

Beautiful... Thankyou so much.

Have been singing this song in the shower since 1972, and still can't do it like she did.

Just finished 'little girl blue' and this video was the first video I watched upon finishing this great biography. I was in tears from first guitar solo on. So talented So beautiful So absolutely alone and blocked in everything she tried....... Love you Karen Rip Thanks for your video friend The quad gave this tear producing quality..lol❤ Straight to my favorites AAA+++!!!

The angels are still weeping from the loss. I've never gotten over it, either. And I suppose I never will.

Thanks for doing this. Sounds fantastic. Never noticed the tambourine in the verses before.

Karen so inspired me...She had autographed the top flap of my popcorn box at a fair in Massachusetts after her performance. I was 11 yes. old.... Her voice goes right through me...to the heart. Wish she was still with us... She could of heard me sing....my inspiration is deeply missed..🌹

Thanks for the u/l. I lost my mother pretty young in life, and I will always be comforted by Karen's voice; she was my ma's favorite; she spoke in a similar rich contralto. And so Karen shall remain incomparable. This was their defining tune, at least to this humble songwriter. 'Sugary Pop' or not, it takes real guts to go outside the comfort-zone lyrically and arrangement-wise...and what a verse+chorus combo, eh? :-)

Brilliant... thank you so much for your work. I love it! Greetings from Germany.

'' there may come a time when I can see that's it's been wrong but for now this is my song '' I was fortunette to hear this first time around in the charts in 1972 .Musical perfection and ahead of it's time even then

One of My Favorite Songs

This is where it begins and this is where it ends vocally no matter, I love Rock, Prog Rock, Jazz, Big Bands, I play Drums I've done it but when I want to relax and chill I listen to Karen's vocals and it makes me recharge He angelic voice was one of the kind I know She is in heaven now!

Wonderful, great sound!

Long live The Carpenter's !!!

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you

I had such a crush on her. Beauty, brains, voice, multiple instruments. Not much of that ever, but certainly not now. Such a tragedy

That guitar solo is bananas.

So much talent, such a beautiful voice, such a heartbreak to lose her so early.

Damn that sounds fine. Awesome work.

RIP KAREN!!!

In all the world in the 1970s there was one voice that captured our hearts. She is gone but never forgotten. Remarkable guitar solo on this song too.

Notice the uncontainable Grin He gives, just when He begins to Grind!

I just love it

This was the first rock power ballad. While the Carpenters were working on the song, Carpenter decided that a fuzz guitar solo should be included. Karen Carpenter called renowned electric guitarist Tony Peluso and asked him to play on the record. Tony remembers: "At first I didn't believe that it was actually Karen Carpenter on the phone but she repeated her name again. ... It was at this point that I realized it was really her and that I was speaking to one of my idols." She told him that she and Richard were working on a song called "Goodbye to Love", that they were familiar with Tony's work with a band called Instant Joy, and that he would be perfect for the sound they were looking for. Peluso first played something soft and sweet, but then Richard Carpenter said: "No, no, no! Play the melody for five bars and then burn it up! Soar off into the stratosphere! Go ahead! It'll be great!". So he did and she did and they did, and the rest was music history.

Perfection.

Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion (and any other female chart topping vocalist out there who I may have left out) did not, could not, and never will hold a candle to the phenomenal and dearly departed Queen of Song, Karen Carpenter.

forgot to say thanks for posting this- the audio mix is amazing.

Simply Awesome!

great job! thanks for sharing

Wow what a great original from The Carpenters. I find this song really to be my ultimate favorite of theirs, and I love many more of them but this was my era of radio, and I began playing guitar in 70s so just added to my favorite list. Great guitar work too. I love the lyrics and the chord progression is so perfect !!! When those harmonies come in after the last “I’ll say goodbye to Love” then the drum fill, the Great Wall of perfect harmony singing ahhh’s along with that irresistible chord progression, then to top it all off w the burning 70s guitar solo Made this song my total favorite songs of theirs!!’ If you read this Richard, thank you all much for all the years and lifetime of music to listen to and relive that magic time and time again!!! One more thing...This is the Quad mix? I have quad tapes and systems so I know what quad is, but how do you make a Quad mix when it’s in stereo? But I have to admit there’s something really warm and solid about this mix as I listen in Stereo. Every track recorded seems to sound fuller w more punch and bottom end then typical stereo track. This Quad Mix ROCKS! I should get my quad set up going again and listen to my Carpenters Quad records which I think most of the Carpenters catalog was released in Quadraphonic!!
