David Cassidy In Belgium. And In Holland (Again)

-

Writing about DC in Holland, and first of all talking with Marjon Hoogendam-Landmeter for two days, have been very emotional for me. Soon will be the 50th anniversary of his last concert there, and it was one of the last he ever played in Europe (I mean  Continental Europe), in later years fans who wanted to see him had to go to the UK.

I feel I should add something to yesterday's entry. First of all about David Cassidy in Belgium. I haven't written anything about it, but of course David was a big star also there, and he played a concert in Arenahal in Deurne, (it's the district of the municipality of Antwerp), on March 8, 1973.

This video is with Crazy Over You song, but actually the footage and some pics are from that Belgium concert.

But we have on the website something even more exciting. An interview with David for the Antwerp TV, which  probably took place before the concert, and fragments of his performance. He looks tired and sleepy answering the same questions all over again, but in fantastic vocal form on stage, And we can see him playing guitar solo.

He was in Belgium in 1985 again, guest starred on the TV show called 'Mike'.

I know that my blog is read also in Belgium, so I hope maybe this reader/readers will share with us more info.

David in Holland. I'm very grateful to Marjon for all the information and dates, regarding David's stay in Holland, also the names of the hotels. I perceive  some photos differently now..Those from the July 3, 1975, from the airport. Just a year after the World Tour and only 14 fans were waiting for him and he wasn't VIP anymore, treated like any other passenger. 

The pics from the program which was never shown. Marjon has also told me that David had plans for playing concerts in Germany in 1985, but he resigned from them. The Last Kiss was a hit in Europe. And also 'She Knows All About Boys'. A lot of hard work and a lot of disappointments..

  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...

  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...
