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!

Robyn Millan

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
