David Cassidy Being Together

I know it was April, but it should have been March.  'I remember March, in rain and in the sun, the love was burning in our eyes..' or something like that. The most important month for David Cassidy and his fans. I know. because I was the one who finished 'On This Day' project for the website, and the highest number of events regarding DC happened  in March. Especially in the 70s. The most memorable, important, legendary David Cassidy's concerts took place in that month. The first and the last ones.  The Astrodome and MSG in 1972.  De Doelen, Belle Vue and Empire Pool in 1973. Australia, Hong Kong and Japan in 1974. Every single pic, video or audio is priceless. We have 2 great documentaries of course, 'To Australia With Love' and 'Weekend At Wembley', both managed to show DC's phenomenon, this frenzy surrounding him, and at the same time what a wonderful, caring human being he was, and an amazing, exciting  live performer.  https://www.youtube.c...

  Yes, on this day, in 2017, David Cassidy played his last ever concert. 8 years ago, in the city he was born and loved, and now even the place he performed in doesn't exist anymore. It was closed in April 2018. Very often we don't know that we are doing something for the very last time. But David Cassidy and his fans knew that this gig was probably the last. According to the website one more was planned, in June, but it was cancelled.  Fans knew that this March gig would be the last opportunity to see once more David Cassidy on stage. Lucio, "David made the announcement of his retirement, and suddenly BB King's became the last concert. Of course I had to be there as were hundreds of people lined up way down 42nd street in Times Square. Youngsters must be wondering which current superstar was performing this very cold March evening in the busiest section of NYC. 'Sold Out' was the replay given to anyone looking to purchase tickets and no one was willing to sell...

David Cassidy performed in San Antonio on March 3, 1972, and maybe spent the night there, or more probably right after it went to Houston, where he was to appear twice on March 5 as the star of The Houston Livestock and Rodeo. There is only 200 miles from San Antonio to Houston, maybe he just flew there, 50 years ago flying was much easier. Houston Astrodome was opened in 1965, it was the world's first multi-purpose, domed sports stadium, seated around 50 000 fans. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is the largest in the world, it was founded n 1931.  In 1972 there was the 40th anniversary of that big event. It started on February 23 and was closed on the day David Cassidy performed there, on March 5. Each day was a different star. For example on February 25 (when the Rodeo started) - Ray Rogers & Dale Evans. On March 1 - The 5th Dimension, Wayne Newton on March 2. Glen Campbell on March 4, and on the last day - David Cassidy.  We are very lucky having an interview with ...

It was extremely busy and exciting month for David Cassidy, March 1972. Of course he was busy all the time during those years of his global stardom, but March 1972 was really special. And for the most part of it he was fighting with the flu. In the only possible way he was allowed. He was taking antibiotics and painkillers. The show must go on.  In March DC played 6 concerts, maybe the number is not very impressive, but we must remember that each time he flew from LA and after concerts often returned home.  The first one was played on March 3, 1972, 53 years ago, at HemisFair Arena, in San Antonio, in Texas. That indoor arena, also known as San Antonio Convention Center Arena, was for years home to the San Antonio Spurs. The sitting capacity for basketball was around 10k. It was demolished in 1995. For my very close American friend, Mary Anthony, it was the first ever concert. She was 11 years-old and she was allowed to go (it was Friday and the concert started at 8 p.m.) with...
