A Great Performer At Work

-

A David Cassidy's concert from 2003 has been added to the website. A video, not great quality, shaking image, at times unrecognizable sound, some noises and sounds of other music and conversations. A highway behind the scene..An outdoor concert, from February 22, 2003. Gulfstream Park (a horseracing track), Hallandale, Fl. Impossible to say how many people was in audience, but it  was an  enthusiastic crowd, some  fans brought the old DC and Partridge Family's albums with them. The security men telling people to push back..

In 2003 DC played 32 concerts, only in the USA, and that particular one was the first that year. David Cassidy, 52, in great shape, a white Tshirt, black pants/trousers (as my English friends say), a wristwatch..that's all. It was a great, rock concert. 

He started with 'Hush'. Let's see him performing it in 2007, in London

So I've been watching and maybe because of that raw recording ..it was like being there, in that crowd watching a great performer at work. David Cassidy was a born entertainer, so dedicated/devoted to what he did, he played guitar, sang of course, talked  and squeezed outstretched hands, tried to have a personal contact with as many fans as possible. He also remembered about his band, what was going on behind his back..Amazing. And at one moment he played 'CC Rider' and I thought about the 70s concerts..

And especially about the Sydney's famous gig from March 1974. Of course in Australia there were thousands, a huge screaming crowd, it was so hot and windy, but ..David was the same, age didn't matter, he was so concentrated on his job, on his performance, on giving the best he could..bringing joy and love.

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for sharing these concert videos! I never had the opportunity to see David in concert (although I did see him in "Joseph" twice, and he was really great in it!), so I always enjoy watching videos of David's concerts! Like you, they make me feel like I am right there. I love to see the way he enjoyed it so much, and shakes hands with his fans, and makes his audience so happy, and always makes me so happy too! Thank you so very much again for doing such a great blog for David and us!

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
