Randy videos on YouTube and other video sites

[sodascouts]

I found this one tonight... Randy's first band "The Poor" featured on an episode of Ironsides! You only get to see him for a milisecond, but I thought it was cool nonetheless.

The Poor on "Ironsides"

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - I had to play it twice before I saw Randy - ya gotta be quick!

[sodascouts]

I didn't realize Randy had done a duet with Kim Carnes!

Hey good find, Soda. I didn't know this either. Not exactly either of their best work, but not bad. Okay, RG or BK any idea what years this was done?

[Randy's Girl]

The song is from the album One More Song which came out in 1980. Doesn't he look gorgeous there!! So tall and sexy and, well, you know the rest. :D Finding a Randy video is always an unexpected beautiful surprise. I wish there was a way to keep them :cry:

[sodascouts]

RG, if you download a special player, you can keep them. Try this link: http://keepvid.com/

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thanks RG! Hmmm - I wonder why I thought you would know something about this song?
:wink: :wink: :wink:

And OBTW Randy does look quite fetching in the video. :shock:

[Randy's Girl]

Umm, maybe because I'm a Randyholic! :wink:

Thanks Soda, I'm giving it a try.

[Randy's Girl]

Oooh, oooh, guess what???

There's another Randy video on YouTube - Hearts On Fire. YAYAYYAYAY!

Soda, that link works perfectly. I now have them on my computer. I am a happy girl!! :inlove:, thank you

[sodascouts]

Glad to see another Randy video! I'm glad you can make that link work for you, RG. Too many times the videos get snatched off of YouTube. For instances, Don's videos for Johnny Can't Read and Heart of the Matter always get rejected from YouTube. Luckily, I downloaded them using keepvid, and now I can watch high-quality videos of the songs to my heart's content.

Check out this ultra-rarity!

The Roberts Meisner band from the 80s doing "Take It to the Limit" for a TV show called Nashville Now:

[Prettymaid]

Wow - what a blast from the past! I've always loved Randy's voice.

[TimothyBFan]

I loved that!! He really sings that with such heart!

[Littlemelly9]

:-)I wish I could Be Up There With Randy At That time:-)


I WANT U RANDY!!!

[Prettymaid]

Back in the eighties I had Randy's album One More Song. It had some great songs on it that I had almost forgotten, but thanks to youtube I can hear them again!

The following are four of my favorites.

First, Gotta Get Away

[Prettymaid]

Next, Deep Inside My Heart featuring Kim Carnes.

[Prettymaid]

The very pretty Come On Back To Me

[Prettymaid]

And last but not least, my favorite Randy solo song, Hearts On Fire.

[sodascouts]

Good choices, PM!

[sodascouts]

You can see Randy playing with Poco at Farm Aid in 1990 - he sings a clip of TITTL about 1:00:

[luvthelighthouse]

Soda, I'm loving that video! Not just for Randy, but because I love all those songs!

I will admit that lately I've been landing on Randy songs via my IPod and listening to them carefully. He really had/has(?) an amazing voice. I mean, it was beautiful. Every time I hear, "i've always been a dreamer" I do get that butterfly feeling. There are certain songs and certain lyrics that do that to me.

I can't recall what I was listening to the other day, I think it was TIE and you can hear Randy so beautifully harmonizing.

[Prettymaid]

Enjoyed that video. Thanks Soda!

[whitcap]

Here's a video of Randy performing with the World Classic Rockers. He sings Take it Easy at :13, Take it to the Limit at 4:02, and Already Gone at 6:19. He also plays bass on Hotel California at :44 (Fergie Frederiksen of Toto sings lead), he plays tambourine on Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride at 1:22, and he plays cowbell during Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild at 5:10.

Thanks for that WC!

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the YouTube links, whitcap! I also have them up for download on my site (http://www.randymeisneronline.com/downloads/multimediafunstuffvideo.htm) if you'd like to check it out.

I wish there were more Randy videos around!

[whitcap]

Thanks soda.

This is the video for Nature of Love by Poco (Randy sings lead). I couldn't find it on youtube but it's on yahoo. This link should take you straight to it.

Randy talks from 7:31-7:45. He doesn't talk for long but I thought it was worth posting since there are hardly any audio/video interviews of Randy out there.

[sodascouts]

Thanks for posting that! It's a shame his bit isn't longer, but I do appreciate anything we can come up with on Randy since video is so rare.

[GettheLeadonOut!!]

Meis is so modest and humble. Nelson was his hero. someday he will be remembered and honored similar to what these rock n roll legends adored Ricky.

Time for Meis to give Bernie and Fingers a call to start 'Earlybird' (the band)

[whitcap]

I found some more Randy videos.

[sodascouts]

Love these! As far as I know, this appearance was his only on any TV show as a solo act. Of course, I'm always on the lookout for more!

The only other one I know of is his appearance on Solid Gold in 1982 but I have yet to see it or find a video of it anywhere :-(

[Eve]

Did Andy Gibb introduce him on that show?

[whitcap]

Did Andy Gibb introduce him on that show?

No. He was on it after Andy Gibb left the show.

[sodascouts]

I sure hope it surfaces somewhere. With all these old shows getting put up on YouTube and video sites, there's always hope!

[whitcap]

The Deep Inside My Heart video is back on youtube :yay:

Thanks for posting. Randy is so young and cute there. I rewatched the part where they showed him several times. It's very brief but totally adorable :inlove:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG he was so young looking there! I bet these guys were thrilled to get that gig at the time. :thumbsup:

[whitcap]

Excellent! Thanks for posting that Soda. :thumbsup:

[whitcap]

I found some extremely rare footage on youtube. It's interviews with Rick Roberts, Gene Clark and Randy from 1988. Randy's interview is in the last 10 minutes of the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzt_BDRnCLE

[sodascouts]

oooh!!!! Thank you whitcap!!!!!!!!!

I love hearing him talk about the early days especially.

Some comments:

This was done in 1988. He says he talks to Don Felder and Don Henley regularly? :confused:

Did I hear that right at 24:30? Is "Too Many Hands" a song about mankind destroying "Mother Earth"?? Wow, I'm seeing that song in an entirely different light now.

[Freypower]

Looking forward to The Last Resort?

It makes me feel differently about the song too.

[whitcap]

oooh!!!! Thank you whitcap!!!!!!!!!

I think Henley was on good terms with Randy and Bernie in the 80s. I remember an interview with Don from the mid-80s where he talked about talking to Bernie.

That part took me by surprise too. I went and looked at the lyrics after I watched this and it makes a lot of sense.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Whitcap - that is AWESOME! Great detective work - you go girl. :yay: I'm definitely going to have to go back and read the words to Too Many Hands when I get a chance.
