The Raspberries were the greatest power-pop band whose name didn't start with a B. In '05, the original quartet reunited for the tour captured here, after a near-record 30-year hiatus. Eric Carmen's choirboy tenor has acquired a slight husk, but only a good look at the faces on Live on Sunset Strip's deluxe-edition bonus DVD belies the vintage of still-glorious teen-lust anthems like ''Go All the Way.'' A cover of the Who's ''I Can't Explain'' makes the point that these supposed bubblegummers mined that band's thunderous riffs and drums as effectively as the Fab Four's harmonic sense.
