The Last Concert

-

 

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 what they had even at the high prices people were willing to pay..."

David Cassidy in concert..He made millions of people so happy, those lucky ones who saw him on stage in every decade of his career. That's what he loved doing, giving and receiving. Feeling love and the connection with his fans. During his career he played more than 600 concerts, from that first one, also in March. In 1971.

He made an announcement on February 25, 2017, "I've chosen for 2017 to finish where I began and when I was born, in the city of Manhattan, in New York, at BB King's."

The Last Concert..Mark Wyckoff has written beautifully and emotionally everything about the last 2 concerts David and his band played on March 3 and March 4. Great read and we are so grateful for it. Every sentence in that long article is important. And every pic is priceless,

And Lucio, there are no words to thank him and other fans for that video. Watching David Cassidy saying goodbye to his fans..

"Thank you. For all of it. For all the decades. I don't think I do. I know I love you."

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,...

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...

'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...
