Listen VERY CLOSELY to the music in the background from 2:35 - 3:02. Tell me what song is in the background. It's not the studio version either :) __________________

Hi Mike, That is most definitely "Hey Big Brother", in the background! __________________

Mike, My error...I was listening to the area of 2:15, where Ray is doing the lead in "Hey Big Brother" in the background, and didn't realize the clip wasn't steady, but edited. The song in the background at 2:35-3:02 is "Big John is my Name". Do I get a Ray Monnette autographed guitar pick for guessing correctly __________________

Hi Steve,

You got it! It's indeed "Big John" and it's the liev performance from Cal Jam. It's far in the background but I can hear Pete phrasing the words differently as well as some sax from Gil. A ha! Another song revealed to have been performed @ Cal Jam.

A Ray Monette autographed guitar pick? Well...that's a tall order. biggrin

Hi guys, I was at the California Jam, and saw the whole show up front next to the stage. I am the one who ownes, put together and posted this video. My YouTube page is: http://www.youtube.com/user/californiajammer1974 . I made this compilation from the four ABC "In Concert" show of the California Jam show. Yes, I have ALL FOUR SHOWS! And they are in color. I have the California Jam Scriptbook too, and it shows Rare Earth's set in this ABC Scriptbook. See it at my MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/_californiajam1974 . It's set to private, but you can ask for a friend request you can see all the photos and archives from this show. There is also a brand new California Jam 1974 group at: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/CaliforniaJam/ . This group is composed of friendly folks. The Rare Earth songs played at the 1974 California Jam "In Order" are: 1. Hey Big Brother, 2. Big John is My Name, 3. I Know I'm Losing You, and finally 4. I Just Want to Celebrate. There you go guy, enjoy! allen pamplin

Hi Allen, Thanks for this. To me, My Space is very difficult to get into, to view your California Jam stuff. I can't figure out how to request friendship on your page. I tried to get into it several months ago, when you posted the ELP videos, and never did figure it out. Any help you can give will be deeply appreciated. Thanks so much. Steve __________________

Hi Steve, do you have a MySpace page? You have to create your own MySpace page and be part of the "MySpace Community" to make friend requests. Once you have your own page you can use the "Add To Friends" LINK in the box just below the persons profile picture. Hope this helps, allen __________________
