Fantastic Band. Ayer hoy mañana y siempre TIERRA EXTRAÑA.

Rare Earth in Concert 1971 - played it continuously as a kid. Fantastic.

They were and hopefully still are phenomenal. Tell me what'd I say!!! Live!!! Hurt me honey

Rare Earth in Concert listened to them continously from 75 to 79 during my undergrad days. Tops.

Pete Rivera's real name was Peter Hoorelbek & I agree they not the same without him.....The Willie Remebers ......album was my favorite by Rare Earth

We opened for these guys in Corpus Christi Texas about 20 years ago at a place called the sugar shack. Our name was About Time.

Wow I'm a rare earth fan from the beginning and I love to celebrate

Rear earth, get ready long version....TIMELESS

Wow....this was such a bittersweet show to watch and listen to. If I saw them onstage without an introduction, I'd have had no idea who they were, but when they got going, I knew exactly who they were. I was part of a band in High School(after hours) and Rare Earth was one band we tried so hard to sound like. We had permission to practice in the auditorium, but we wanted a live crowd to practice in front of for feedback. I did vocals and tambourine, sometimes playing it like a bongo, my best friend Steve was on lead guitar, and we had a bass man and drummer. Such memories and shear fun, during the days of integrating and consolidating the two high schools, and I was the only "spot" in our little group, but we were like a band of brothers. Race wasn't an issue with any of us. On Sundays we'd play in a Church after services were over, and always had a spill over crowd to listen to us, and build our confidence up. We never got far, but man was it fun while it lasted!! In watching the video, they've all aged so much, and the guy on lead guitar looked like he'd forgotten his bottom denture, and was wearing a 2XXL t shirt, but when it was time to kick it, he did exactly that, with grace and that "kick ass" style. I guess never judge a book by it's cover, 'eh? The drummer wasn't the original singer, but did he knock it out of the ballpark or what? He had that original Rare Earth sound and quality to his voice, and drumming while he sang. I hope he loves the bands music and legend enough to carry on the name for decades to come, and for future generations. Rare Earth was, to me, always left behind by some other groups of the same time period, but they hit your heart and mind just as powerful. As one commenter put it, they were "one of the most under rated, but talented acts ever", and I totally agree! Having been through hell with health issues, and now trying to start a ranch for homeless youth, "I just want to celebrate, another day of living!" We all should! ❤❤❤

One of the most underrated, but talented acts ever. A great great band!

GRANDE BANDA QUE MARCOU UMA ÉPOCA DE OURO DA MÚSICA. AINDA ESCUTO EM VINIL ORIGINAL.

this band came to my home town--Sault Ste Marie in like 1976--never heard of them but when concerts came we popped some acid and went---they were amazing--LOL

Mike Bruner on the keyboard is one badass player and person. Love to my brothers!

first chance in Alburquerque NM got to play this tune with some fellows past the isleta bridge and eigth street and we jammed the tune "Get Ready" for three hours straight. Still to this day will never forget tune and this tune we played in the beginning of 1970.

Pete Rivera was awesome. Saw the classic rock All-stars in 2008 I think. Members of Sugarloaf, Iron Butterfly, I forget who else. Pete Rivera has such a powerful voice.

A love this band since early 70's i was 12 old when i bought second LP"Get ready"👍👍👍👍

been a fan since my first concert in 1972.

I’ve always loved you guys that’s because you are the absolute best ❤

Rare Earth -Terrific band

Serious talent!! Not only that but the all looked like they were having fun while doing it!! Awesome! Glad I reconnected with them on KZfaq!

Awesome funky classic rocking dude. an inspiration to us all

WHAT A FANTASTIC DRUMMER!! ❤️❤️❤️

Rare Earth. Been listening to them since the early 70's. Never at the top of my list of go to albums, but every year I'll pull them out and listen for a day or two. Definitely a great underrated band. I was fortunate to have lived in the Detroit area back then and they were played a lot.

Keeping the funk alive.

If you actually watch the whole video like me,you are now legendary 2.

I've been to the arcada theater sometimes and saw Vanilla fudge among other bands and local bands

Two words, love it

Indeed it's a crying shame Peter Rivera's MIA here. His drum playing and his voice were the very trademarks of Rare Earth. But hey no man is indispensable, for whatever reason why he ain't here the music still has to go on. Still love the guys left. For those who can't get enough of Peter here's a link of a live show from the 70s kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdSVad1hmti7eGg.html

They can still rock out!!! Stay strong and healthy guys.

Grew up with this amazing band since second grade now lm almost 57 pretty long time but still sound great ..too bad drummer Rivera wasn't around he was the real heart and voice of the band

Great Man ... thank you for the Music

Love..love...and love!

Excelente banda de los 60S, Saludos desde Lima Perú

Make me feel young again. They're still great.

This was one of the best concerts that I have been to and I've been to quite a few. Ray on guitar was phenomenal.

Being able to effectively play any musical instrument and sing with out screwing one or both up incredible. In doing so, and damn well. In doing so Pete Rivera places himself in elite company. Ringo Starr, yeah I said it Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker, Phil Collins ECT. Prob harder to drum and sing then anything else. Just the other day was watching Susan T. (Ted/Trucks Band) absolutely smoke a guitar 🎸 while wailing vocals as only she can and was amazed at her performance. This is why they do this for a living and we play in the back yard. Till the neighbors call the cops!

It is majestic to remember this great band with all its successes in which was my time of youth, a time also where this wonderful music was enjoyed especially, (GET READY) a beautiful memory, thank you Rara Earth.

I'm always READY for these guys !!

In spite of the haters out there, this is still a great performance. Sure we can wish all day that Peter Rivera was still apart of it, but he is not. I am happy this band didn't just quit because of that. I love these songs and in the bands current configuration they still sound great!

Pete Rivera was my idol as a young drummer. I sang also. Journey's drummer is an incredible singer. They are not the same without Pete Rivera.

I just finished trying to describe to my ten year old daughter, the life style of the professional rock musician. Its a very hard life as most of us know... even if you leave out the sex and drugs and all the bullshit. She was suitably impressed.

Como me lembro do meu pai quando escutávamos juntos !!!! Adoro essa banda!!! Rare 4eva!!!!

They have a few years on them but this proves you never loose the funk! Amazing! Rare Earth forever!

Speechless 😀😀😀😀

que maravilla 🤩❤❤

Einer der besten Bands ever♥️

I'm missing Eddie Guzman kicking ass on the congas/percussion here (RIP Killa).....Nice to see Ray back in the fold too.

Excellent groupe pour d'autres prestations plus connues. Batteur-chanteur extraordinaire. A voir et à entendre sans modération.

So Tight!! ❤️

Rare Earth 🌍!! ❤️

Just happened to be at the Reno Air Races, maybe 25 years ago, and these guys were playing at a nightclub in one of the casinos! It was absolutely great! Ill never forget it!

That was just awesome!

great old music, Whitfield feeling around, thank you!

esto es talento..estos viejos tocan como el primer dia geniales..

I am what I call a family member of the Conga player Ed Guzman..who resided in Howell Michigan until his death the original, band use to rehearse there...once the main players disbursed and a couple passing on it was never the same...lost the feeling.. the keyboard player here owns a bed and breakfast in Waterford or Pontiac Mi..from what I can remember.

Fue una de mis bandas favoritas y el mejor álbum es rare Earth in concert

OH SO AMERICAN AMAZING!! ❤️❤️❤️

mi mejor banda de mi vida,recuardo tan bonitos y es la musica que entienden los fanaticos del grupo la mejor epoca mano

too all the haters commenting on this you think you all know rare earth My step dad worked for Rare Earth in the early 90s and played in a band with Randy AKA Bird in 1982 bird became the base player for rare earth in 1985 after being and roadie for the band LOL i remember J.J Stokes driving his tractor in my back yard tilling grass these guys in this rare earth are true Detroit Michigan Natives....I remember my dad telling me stories about doing beer runs for Eddie and Randy and my dad getting chased out of the store because everyone thought it was macho man randy savage and Hulk Hogan I remember them telling me about the time they got the yellow Ryder truck stuck in the sand on Daytona Beach Florida....For all you haters here is a fun fact for you Eddie passed away and he is the only member not to be replaced in the band

I saw them when they came to Cleveland Ohio can’t remember the year but Big John was very popular ❤

I saw them as The Sunliners at Lake Lansing in Haslett Michigan when I was in college at MSU.

Bird's real name is Randy Burghdoff, and I know this because he used to be my Best Friends's Stepdad.

That bass player is bad ass

The group did an album on Verve records, 1968.
