No INFORMATION

There is a new dvd out by Rare Earth and you have not even bothered to let people know about it, what kind of a fan site is this.  Your website is also out of date for concerts taking place so how can we know if they are`playing anywhere?  disbelief

Try dropping the attitude problem for a start. Good grief, did Santa forget to visit you or something?

This is a site run on a voluntary basis by two very dedicated Rare Earth fans. It is not their job to chase up information on the band although if they know of anything then they will always publish it. After all, we all want to promote Rare Earth as much as possible.

Can I recommend that next time try the following approach:

"Hey guys, I'm new to this site and it appears that you might be unaware that a new live DVD of the band has become available. For those of you who are interested, further information can be obtained from etc etc."

As for concert listings, the official Rare Earth website provides this information and the last date was in September 2010. PresumablyThis means that they don't have any gigs currently scheduled. It is not normal policy for a fan site to carry such information because it can be subject to change and I'm sure that the administrators would not want to be responsible for someone travelling to a cancelled gig because the information is incorrect.

Your requirements are best met by visiting www.rareearth.com

Happy New Year!!

Oh yeah, and next time do have the courage to post your name. We might defend the band, the forum and the website but we don't bite (although Al from Canada does under adverse meteorological conditionssmile)

Cue Monty Python "argument" sketch.

Indeed, what Dave said...+1!

As the bookings come in, they are added to the band's schedule. For that info, you need to go to: www.rareearth.com

I'll be getting me the DVD soon enough smile

Thanks Mike.

You and I, plus countless others, know that John and Richard have worked their "what der yer call ems" off putting this site together for Rare Earth fans. It covers not just the group but the Rare Earth label as well (e.g refer to the Impact of Brass active thread) which is no small task. They've done it voluntarily and members of the band past and present, plus producers, are happy to visit and contribute. Contrary to the title of the thread, this site is PACKED with information.

The fact that Peter Rivera, Ray Monette and Ralph Terrana visit and actively participate in this forum is all the endorsement this website needs.

PS There's actually very little information on the new DVD on the official site but the clip looks great.

Yeah I agree with UK Dave.

I went in to buy the dvd but I found it very secretive as you need to email the band about it before you buy???? No doubt it would be delivered in a plain paper wrapping and left behind a building somewhere.   Come on Rare Earth advertise it properly.

I guess "Anonymous" hasn't looked in on this fine website to see what takes place here. Stick with us, dude. There's more than meets the eye going on at any given time thanks to a great group of people that really know there stuff. You might learn a thing or two.

Didn't even notice Ralph. Shows how useless I'd be as an exam paper checker.

Hey All,

Gil, that news is awesome. Ralph, good see you posting here also. I have been absent from this site due to work, but was listening to some Rare earth on CD in the car. I'm looking forward to the DVD and CD alike. My work schedule prevented me from seeing Rare Earth last summer, good to be working again, but I need to work on my schedule. The DVD preview looked sweet, can't wait to watch it start to finish.

Happy New Year and a Blessed 2011 to all.

Peace,

Chicago Tommy

Hi Al

Well, sometimes you have to speak out.

I had a giggle to myself earlier. I picked up a bar of chocolate that was new to me. It was called "Chomp". biggrin

The Chompbar!  With peanuts and toffee, smothered in rich chocolate, I'd say somewhere in the 1lb size.Take that Willie Wonka!
