Why We Love David Cassidy

-

I've been watching today the DC concert from 2012, the recent updade on the website. How not to love him. He was a great singer.

June 30, 2012. South Point Casino, Las Vegas. Thank you Lucio so much for this extraordinary gift for all of us. Great editing, wonderful sound, more like a doc from a concert not just a video. Very moving pics with fans. In general you can feel like actually being there.

It's so moving that it's simply impossible to watch it at one time. I couldn't. Even that it's not a whole concert, but first 52 minutes

DC singing the Monkees. First heard him performing 'Valleri'. Great remix version of 'I'll Meet You Halfway', such fun for him and some lucky ladies. And to have Happy Birthday singing by DC. When he had some technical problems while playing the guitar and singing  'Ain't No Sunshine', I remembered how in 1974 in spite of the heat and those shoes hitting the stage he was doing exactly the same. Talking with us, his fans, and singing for us..He loved doing it all his life. He loved making us happy..

David Cassidy was a professional entertainer, it was a Saturday night in Las Vegas, it was a show, he was joking, dancing and laughing with the audience..But there was one moment he had tears in his eyes..In My Life..Very moving performance.

I wish we had a whole concert, there were some great songs left, 'Cherish', 'ITILY', and the band intro with DC singing 'Superstition', but what we've got it's great. And while I've been watching I remembered what someone (sorry but I don't know who) wrote after November 21, 2017 :

'He gave us a lot to enjoy and to think about. When he passed away he took a little piece of each of us..'

    Hi Jane and Weronika, thank you so much for sharing this! I have never seen this concert before. David was always so wonderful with his audience. I really loved it when he asked the ladies to go up and shake his hand. I would have loved to kiss his hand too. That was so sweet the way he sang "Happy Birthday" to Colette too! All of you who were able to go to David's concerts were so blessed! I was so blessed to see him in "Joseph" twice! I love the way he sang all these songs, especially "In My Life." We are so blessed to have this blog, DavidCassidy.com, and so many wonderful videos of David! Thank you again, David, for giving us so much, and thank you all, who are so kind to share these things with 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
