i am about to tell a secret. I miss David Cassidy every day. I was 7 when Cassidy mania started. I went to one of his concerts about twenty years ago. Mom and I had front row seats. He held my face while singing I think I love you for 30 seconds. He made sure I could see him because some ladies were in front of me, and I was sitting in a wheelchair. Thanks Angel....
@kristannharrigan2307 Thank you for sharing your lovely story, I believe he was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. I've never met him personally, but I did see him here in Australia in 1974 with his love to Australia tour, and I'll be honest I can't remember much of it apart from what he was wearing and his amazing voice ❤️ 💙
I am a guy who is 62, & this concert...made me cry. It's just really *sad* David is no longer..."in this life". The memories...were flowing...of days gone by. David...was a "gift" to all of us who paid attention.and absorbed his incredible talents. R I P!
Finally, , the truth came out about I Write The Songs!!! I had every album David made, he was my first love way back in the 70's.I write the songs was on one them,no disrespect to Barry Manilow, but his version just is not as rich, or meaningful. I was a member of David s fan club, bought the monthly teen mag, his posters wallpapered my bedroom walls, and backed my school books.His music and beautiful smile got me through some troubling and dark teenage years.When I see his interviews and concerts, I am transformed, I'm not a lonely woman of 64 , living alone, i am that young carefree girl who totally adored and loved one of the best singers ever,- David Cassidy.I know he had his own demons, but I hope he also had lots of love in his life too.Born to entertain, beautiful voice, a face I will always melt at when I see, where ever you are David, I wish you peace.Crying while I write this, such a sad loss. Xxx
Looking back at our childhood is safe. We were young, carefree (a cliché but true) and all the responsibilities and trials of being a grown up were far in the future. We may look back and see some things thru rose coloured spectacles but they're our spectacles and our memories.
His vocal ability was overshadowed by the teen idol mania. He is charming and talented and humble. From reading and learning much more about him...I think his father did a lot of damage to his son's joy in life. In interviews David has said his father was very jealous. Hard to take for him. He really was an incredible talent and artist. I have a whole new appreciation for him. And his wonderful personality. ❤️
I have recently researched David’s story. Yes, his father was awful to him. He desperately tried and tried to connect to the father he that he looked up to and loved unconditionally. What a piece of work Jack was. I watched interviews with Shirley Jones, she said David was so tender hearted. She said he got the worst of Jack. She said it wasn’t until Ryan(his youngest) when he started to TRY to be involved in any of his children’s lives. But, it was only Ryan. Such a heartbreaking story. I have grieved for David.
The man was a natural born showman he just loved performing. He loved his audience and they sure loved him, they’re aren’t many performers who engaged with their audience like he did he gave it his all. A class act.
Today l am 64 and so happy to have been a teenager when l first listen to his wonderful voice and songs. He is and was my only İdol. RIP dear David. ❤😢
Dàvid is a awesome enter5ainer.i still remember the words to all his songs.i miss him so.i am 67 and his music makes me feel young at heart.you are sadly missed.rest in peace my dear dàvid.
I got to see David perform in 2001 much to my surprise. I was in a store when an announcement came over the radio station the store was playing. Free tickets to the David Cassidy concert at Harrah's. First 10 people. I was 10 minutes from the casino and I was driving a Mustang. I went! I got 2 tickets! You'd have thought I won the lottery ; ) I hadn't even known he was in town. My hubby was not so thrilled but he agreed to accompany me. A few nights later we got to the event. It was a small theater probably around 300 people. We saw and heard pretty much what you see here in this concert. That is to say he was fabulous. One of my teenage dreams finally came true at 45 I was in the same room with him and he was singing to me...sigh. There were 2 women that couldn't keep away from the stage and eventually he had to have them taken out by security. He gave them every chance but they began to disturb the show so...he was a gentleman in every respect that night. I was so grateful to have seen him at last and by chance as well. But the best part of the evening was when the show concluded and my husband said to me 'that was better than I thought it would be, he was good!' Wonderful night.
Nice to hear your story! I wish l could have been you! So lucky and amazing to watch David in his live show 👍👍👍 I knew him when l was in teen back in Hong Kong. He is handsome with attractive eyes and voice! I have no chance to watch his show😢 RIP David❤
What a great story xx And how lucky for you. I was 43 in 2001 and I would have been transported back to the pre-teen me if I had been there at this concert. Like you, I thought he sang every song to me 😍.
Quite frankly his maturity here makes him even more irresistible. The audience is in the palm of his hands. His voice sounds fabulous. Missing you precious DC. 💖🌹💖
I grew up watching the Partridge Family( I loved that show) and my favorite part of the show was when they would sing in concerts and I loved all the songs they sang. Watching and hearing these songs brings back so many memories for me. I loved both David and Shaun, they were both teen idols. Miss you David, may you rest in peace. Thank you for so many great memories.
That "teen idol status" was his meal ticket for the remainder of his life. That's why he was doing concerts like this decades later singing all those old Partridge Family songs. Even though he hated it, he kept cashing in on it, because he had to. It's what made him one of the most famous people who ever lived.
@@mcmlxii4419 he was a good singer but all of his songs are horrible, I dont see how in all those yrs he couldnt have found at least one real song to make into a hit. It's not even rock and roll, I dont what style these songs would be called but theyre not good. He is hitting all the notes but I hear the strain in his voice that comes from trying to sing songs that arent good, good songs flow out effortlessly. I bet he knew all this too and was frustrated.
A phenomenal artist that is under credited. David was huge. His concert draw in the 70s was tops amongst ALL artist. Talented and so personable. He left us way to soon. It was sad to hear some of his journey in life left him without the close love he could have found with others. I'm glad to have lived during his peak. Play his music. What a voice. His version of Cherish is filled with his heart. Watch his videos, he had the sex appeal men wish for and women adore. His rebirth on Broadway and then Vegas was confirmation of his talent and appeal to his fans. David you will live in the hearts of your friends and fans forever.
His Family helped with the rebirth of his career. Shaun worked with him & Patrick as well... They WANTED to help him & tried OVER & OVER... If you know ANY family that has an addict you see how worn out they get “rescuing” to start over...AGAIN & AGAIN... David was GORGEOUSLY HANDSOME, but his problems began before we ever saw him on stage or screen. His Father, Jack, left David & his Mother when David was young. I won’t say she was perfect,but not long before he got too sick to deny it anymore, in an interview he said he had been singing & remembering HYMNS that he remembered his Mother’s side of the Family sang & that he was interested in recording some of them? OK, sorry about trailing off there? JACK GUILTED HIM SO HORRIBLY when David became a heartthrob😢Jack was JEALOUS of David’s success😢He NEVER achieved the attraction of females & acting/music career that David did so he played head games until the end! Sooo David had to put up with his Dad as well as Industry Executives that stole income from him🧐I’m sure David did smoke some marijuana from time to time & prob other drugs recreationally but not hard core? Alcohol was another issue. It caused Family & Friends who WANTED to help him.They allowed him to sleep & eat at their homes when he went thru his periods of downward spiraling❣️Eventually they had to kick him out when the addiction brought out the David that we as the Fans & General Public only saw towards the end... There is a form of Dementia that is caused by Alcoholism. I heard about it several years before David exhibited symptoms. An LCSW told me about it. She said she had seen many Military Veterans with it in Veterans Hospitals. Trauma brought on by a Narcissistic Passive Aggressive Father then Fame at an early age without the proper🌟Family Foundation🌟 behind the scenes to keep him grounded only accelerated the Planets loss of a talented individual😫 If hard drugs had been his preference,he may have overdosed years before we actually lost him😇
@@ritadaniels3175 Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate your post so very much. What year was it that David Cassidy passed away? Was he abusive to others, in his addiction? You mentioned the type of Dementia that is induced by alcohol. Does it have it' s own name? I went to an all day clinic on Dementia in 10-2012. The speaker, (Teepa Snow), spoke of certain behavior characteristics that goes with it. We spoke on the break about it. Never heard anyone mention it since then,---until you. My mom passed of this disease 8 months after I attended this clinic. It was main reason I took interest in the clinic. When the speaker spoke of behavior associated w/this kind of Dementia,---I had recognized the same behavior in a family member of mine. Very enlightening all day clinic. Since then, I have worked close to 5 years in a facility where we have had Dementia residents come & go. Sad, sad Disease. So it was alcoholic abuse that caused Cassidy death then? Please respond/Thanks❣💓💕💗❣
@@L.M.O. I’m sure that form has its own name... I’m in the midst of a personal storm currently so cannot fully respond @ moment... SO SORRY about Ur Mother❣️If I have NOT FULLY replied in 3-4mos hit me up again & I will... Happy Mother’s Day❣️
I was there! Singing along, waving and cheering to my teenage heart throb. I loved him soooo much from the age of 13 until my late fifties and I still know all the words to his songs. God bless you David Bruce Cassidy, I hope you are now at peace xx
I was really before I ever saw David was when the show partridge family came out and when I got older into my teens but I got to see him on different tv host shows . I'm grateful for these videos brings me back and it's almost like he is still here. God bless you david
I am 55 and I still love these songs. They were filled with emotion and you could sing along with them. He was such an underrated singer. His music was a gift to all of us. So sad that David is no longer with us. May he rest in peach until we all meet with him in that great concert hall in heaven
Oh David knew alright that’s why he adored all his fans the world through, He had incredible talent in every field, They broke the mould when he was born, ❤️
When I was 23 years old I've love my sweet girl it was the spring season and then I married.her and was Cassidy the songs of Cassidy.. we were hear his song together and play it on my guitar .but she died after a few years.. but am still remember all of that days
He looked so wonderful at this concert. I loved the smile and energy. I pray he found the peace in the spiritual world he couldn't find here. We love and miss you David ❤️💕🎼🎶🎸
I don’t care who likes this fact but it makes me have joy for DAVID! He actually told Piers a month or so before he died that he had met Jesus in his bedroom. David was raised in church with his grandparents when he was young and David had a beautiful heart or he wouldn’t have taken that little girls death so hard he quit touring. I think we will see him again someday.
He was great then and fot ao much better with age. His voice his stage performance. He was amazing. Rest in peace we love and miss you. I know you are rocking heaven
Waching this 07/07/2024 and thinking how much of a loss to the music world David Cassidy is. Great musician and singer. Looked so youthful throughout his life, really so sad that the drink overtook everything else.
Stunning man with so much talent and charisma ..So very sad his life couldn't have turned out differently and he could have found what he needed love ,peace and happiness .Life is so short but sometimes we forget that ..Such a special person who will be remembered .with love and joy ❤❤❤🌹🌹
I had to watch this again. David is so in his prime here. He has so much energy and looks so happy. I cannot believe he is 54 years old! He was aging well. Too bad that alcoholism is a disease, and David gave into it at the end. I have watched some of the channeling videos on UA-cam. David says he did give in and let his body die, because of depression. So sad. But he does say he is at peace and in Heaven. He is in the part of Heaven in nature, and is singing with the flowers. The flowers sing back to him. I like to picture him that way. He also says he can visit his relatives and fans on Earth. His spirit can come down here to us in dreams. I have felt him and bonded with him in dreams. I have read that other fans have felt him also. It is real, people! Remember
David loved us fans, so remember that we bonded with him. We can dream about him and feel his energy still. When we look at him, we can feel him still. This gives me comfort. I wish he was still here physically, but that is selfish. He is in a better place and finally at peace. I have such good memories of him, from my past. I love watching him on Partridge Family. I love seeing these concerts on UA-cam 😍. Aren't you glad we can watch him again on here? He has helped cheer me up during this pandemic, by seeing his beautiful smiling face. I will always love you, David.
Hi diane such nice words about David but when you write that he gave in and let his body die are you saying he didnt want to live anymore ,due to his addictions..I like everyone else so wish he could have got help and hope he has found love and peace. I remember David's music but never heard much of him after the PF.show .For whatever reason I feel drawn to watch David more n more and feel his songs reflect his life in many ways ..xo
Hi Diane, What are some of the channeling videos of DC have you watched? I would love to hear that he is happy and at peace on the other side. He’s such a special soul!! ❤️🙏🌟💕
Diane- your comments describe how I feel. I have had several dreams of David. I recently had a dream where I decided to leave with him. In my dream, I didn't have a problem saying good bye to my husband but didn't want to leave my son who was a young boy in my dream. David said he could come with us and bought him a horse with riding gear. It felt very real.
@@LoriB5 Hi just read your comments about your dream and Wow that must be a different experience to have a,dream like that ...I hope that David is happy and at peace and though I dont have dreams i am very drawn to him and his music ...Hope he still singing with his fantastic voice
Ein Traummann ❤ war er damals für mich gewesen...ich habe ihn sehr verehrt ⚘seine tolle Stimme sein mega tolles Aussehen...einfach nur super schön. Diese Zeit war der Hammer💌
What most don’t understand is his personal FAN CLUB had more members than either Elvis Presley or the Beatles I truly believe it was because he was Genuine He could be your Next Door Neighbor Best Friend & Especially for the Girls Like in the TV show 90210 Your brother’s best friend Besides the obvious his Looks Voice ETC One word I would describe David Cassidy is Approachable
Me too...and I'm a carefree senior in high school who life hadn't hurt yet. Young, healthy, happy and completely unaware of what the future would bring. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...We all loved David!
David had such a great connection with his fans....He made himself reachable and had great love and respect for them....I am glad he was having a great time here....RIP DC.
I was crazy about him in the 70's, watching The Partridge Family, buying Tiger Beat magazines and any magazine with him on the cover or with articles about him but I forgot about him when he disappeared. Then suddenly I remembered him in 2008 and tried to catch up. Again I remembered him in 2017 and now in June 2020, I've been listening to his music and watching his interviews.
Ich finde es so schade, dass so ein toller Sänger weder in TV zu sehen noch im Radio zu hören ist. David hätte es so verdient! Seine Stimme und seine Songs sind so einmalig und zeitlos!!!
I never got how he drew in the energy to keep that schedule in the 70's between the series and his concert schedule. Give the guy credit. It would have killed me! Wonderful talent. Miss him.
Never was a fan (didn’t dislike him either, just wasn’t my thing back then), but Jezus this man deserved so much better in his life. Sad the way it all ended. RIP David Cassidy.
I paused this video at the 37:24 mark because I was making dinner and needed to focus on the stove. I don't think I could have picked a better moment that captured his spirit more beautifully. That smile was oozing pure joy. Oh, how I wish he could have carried that feeling with him all the days of his life. He knew we loved him, and that matters. It gives me comfort in the sadness of missing him and the love he brought to our lives. Danny Bonaduce credits David with saving his life and helping him rebuild his reputation and career. David reached out when Danny kept getting arrested and told him he was taking Danny on tour with him to nightclubs and small venues around the country. There would be no women, no alcohol, and no drugs on the bus. Danny would be the person who did the promotion for the tour, getting on radio programs to talk up the shows in each city they'd visit. Before the tour was over, Danny had landed his first radio hosting gig, and the rest is history. Danny said that David gave this kind of performance whether there were 1,000 people at the venue, or 43. That tracks with who we always knew he was. I wish someone had helped him pick up the pieces when he faced similar challenges in later years. He gave all of himself to those he loved, including his fans. In the end, it drained him. I choose to remember him like he is at 37:24. That's the true David Cassidy. May he rest in eternal peace. 😔💔
His voice was so pure. Amazing and so sad. I just came across this and I am heart broken. I had the biggest crush on him that started when I was 10. He was one of kind and I don't think ppl realize what an exceptional musician he was.
Thank you for this Christine,the world at the moment is in the grip of Coronovirus,with a lot of uncertainty,a quite depressing time,listening to this beautiful,amazing man with his gorgeous looks,wonderful voice,makes me smile in such a difficult time,never be another David Cassidy,he was one special person who we loved then,and we love now,still miss him so much. Thanks again Christine.
@@elizabethroseclegg771Elizabeth,thank you for telling me about Christine Marie,not sure if she was a friend of yours but,I agree completely with what you said,let us hope and pray that both Christine and David have peace and happiness.
I don't think you're right here. Although he was famous as an actor, as a Partridge, he was also known as a creative musician in very many genres. He was extraordinary in every possible genre and way. I think the people he craved, and needed love from, ended up stealing from him, hurting him and humiliating him so much that he ended up hating himself, hence the end. Shame on Dr. Phil for kicking a man when he's already down. No matter what the time slot is. I was horrified that a doctor would treat anyone like this. Let alone allowing network pressure to influence a patient's treatment and care. That's all for now. I will henceforth behave appropriately (I hope). And please, forgive me.
Comments down farther on here say this concert happened in 2004, and David was 54. Wow! He looks so good for 54. He was aging well. The guys,who are jealous and not fans pick on you so later, David. If you had not started drinking again, what could have been, I wonder? So sad! It haunts me about how you end up looking so old and your body giving out on you. And you had such a good body to give up and let it waste away. You gave your all to us fans and promised us you loved us back, so I keep trying to find peace that you are in Heaven and put of pain, but I think I am still grieving your death still. I cannot believe you did not get a transplant or try to get better. I felt you were loved by so many women, one of us would have donated to you. Bobby Rydell got a transplant. I thought you could have gotten one too. You were only 67. You could have lived longer. You said in your book that if you started drinking again, you knew you were going to die. And you just started to drink and then go out to perform drunk. You do interviews drunk also. I have watched and read everything I can about you to figure it out, and I have concluded that you got depressed and let yourself die. It was a slow suicide. David, I will pray that you are happy in the afterlife. I loved you so much, and still do. o much. You were my first love, and I
@@ladylibertywdc8324 That is true In his last “performance” in the movie “The Last Session” (available to stream) it was revealed he was in kidney failure (swelling throughout his body) and the beginning of multi organ failure (which he died from, due to alcoholism). -If he had recognized the problem and gotten treatment, yes perhaps liver transplant could have been an option, but only if he proved he could be abstinent from alcohol. -I loved him too and I still remember in my High School days, knowing he was in town for a concert and (not being able to be there), pining for his appearance on my street. Such fantasy.
@@ladylibertywdc8324 Yes, lots of comments on here about how fast he went down hill "in the end." But he was not sober here. Not meaning to take away from his performance at all -- he's still able to hold it together here. But there are lots of things in his behavior that show it was unlikely he was sober. You don't get to the point he was at in the end without a long history of drinking. Alcoholism is a progressive disease if a person isn't able to recover. I have a huge soft spot for David Cassidy, and he had so much against him starting way before the soul-crushing fame -- hardcore addition genes, and a father who abandoned him and then rejected him over and over -- it would have been a miracle if he hadn't turn to drinking.
My biggest regret in this life is not being able to see David in concert! I was 9 when The Partridge Family premiered so I was too young to see him in concert. Later in life I truly regret it.😢
What a talent!! Now I go back and listen to his music and I think he would be just as huge now as he was in the 70s. What an incredible voice! Did I know that back then? I wonder as I think back....or was it just his incredibly good looks that I noticed. I'm sorry I didn't follow him more! It is not surprising he had problems emotionally; the biggest star in the world.....how lonely it can actually be! Dont we all long sometimes for what once was? The world misses you David Cassidy! There will NEVER be another you 🙏💔
His voice is romantic, sweet, unique. and sounds forever young. It is not boring, not loud, not screechy, note too strong like many famous artists and lead singers (Queen, Journey, etc.).
I saw David at MGM when he did "EFX". I made my then husband take me for my birthday (40th). 1998 Even my husband was impressed by his great performance. Hubby was 14yrs older too so again a great performance even though I had sent in my program for a signature with money and stamped return envelope. Never got either back. One big shout out to David's band who has been with him back then and up to the last thing he did - The Songs my Father Taught me. It was sad to see what bad shape he was in. His awesome drummer, guitarist, keyboardist and back up singers. Kudos to you all and RIP David. We all love you and hope you have found peace at last. 4/10/22. His Birthday will be in 2 days. 😥🙏
There is not enough of him to go around, the crowd love him so much,..he reminds us of our youth,..care free,..no worries or responsibles,..forever young...I like the way he let's the crowd join in..good interaction. ..!!they love him.
This puts a smile on my face even though I am saddened that David is no longer around, he will always be remembered as his singing which was phenomenal!
56 year old male. I watched the show and loved it. Susan dey❤ As of recent i have dived into David Cassidy's music he has a AWESOME VOICE. Decent guitarist Great performer. Sad he is gone
He was the Elvis of MY generation! My MOM had Elvis! My brothers and sister, we had David Cassidy. NOW he is GONE too. RIP David! STill listening in Oregon, USA!
Love the way he so graciously and tenderly shakes hands with the ppl in the audience. It just looks so genuine. If it isn’t- he certainly has the ‘act’ down pat!
People remember him as one of the actors/singers that defined what a "teen idol" is.... but watching him here, you see just how natural he was as a performer. The stage was where he truly was in his element, and was probably also the place he was happiest.
U left ur mark! Maybe not the way u wanted; but b proud that u did. So many of us leave this life anonymously except 2 a tiny group of friends & family...... RIP. 😔🤙🏽🙏🏼
I was two and half years old in the summer of 1972. When the Partridge Family went in syndication for the first time is when I discovered David Cassidy.
David was a wonderful performer and left us way too early. I'm glad to see this video as he seems happy and enjoying himself. So sad alcohol and depression took him way too soon. God bless him. He cared for his audience and worked so hard all his life. I pray he has found peace.
This was beyond words. He was great as a teenager and great as a middle aged man. I could listen to him all day. It was a sad day the day he died. He is greatly missed. RIP David Cassidy. We love you. Maybe I'll see you beyond those pearly gates. 🙏💜🙏
He was and remains the best. Always & Forever ❤️ 🙏🏼 See how much love and affection he gave to us fans. So much, enough for our whole life and beyond. He comforted me as a teenager, later he was always there and now he still comforts. Will never stop loving this wonderful unique guy.💕🥀
Yes, until I saw this I had forgotten Manilow had actually lost the draw to David but it was absolutely magic remembering David. I have been a Manilow fan but DC's voice knocks him into a cocked hat! Noooo contest! Our David is undeniably more eeeeasy on the eyeeee too! 😍 Gone too soon, may he rest in peace.
I have no - o idea, who the heck was that young lady , behind the drum set, yet my compliment to her, indeed, she was simply excellen, yes, excellent! Just a personal tought? Is she a drum teacher, by any chance? Or is she way past that stage My dear, who ever yo wer / are, you definetly do deserve, evry one's rcognation & appre4ciation. Good beat girl?! ( No offense by any means, sorry? !
Thank you for publishing this Christine! It is wonderful to relive this show! David was so talented, with his breathy, distinctive, singing voice making every song so emotive. He could play drums, piano, guitar too - a real musician of the highest quality! He was the most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on! He had the most amazing smile, gorgeous eyes, perfect nose and sweet lips. Plus, he was funny, bright, quick-witted, well spoken, kind, generous, affectionate, sensual, and cheeky. Sadly he experienced negative, hurtful events that cut him to the quick, so he developed unhealthy coping strategies. Eventually, despite many periods of sobriety, his demons damaged his body, mind and heart. I literally felt like every cell in my body was torn asunder when he passed on and I miss him every day of my life. Oh how loved he is... Could it be forever? Definitely, eternally.
I love the band too, the sirens, and Teri Cote, drummer, Frank Fabio, Matthew Sullivan, Rob Cooke, Lon Bronson, my fave part of the concert is how he introduces them in song. If I forgot someone apologies, I think that's all of them, talented, gorgeous. I love Lisa Mayer and Candace Davis-Martin.
I still can't believe that he's gone. I saw him at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia, and I think it was similar to this. RIP. I hope you have reconciled with your father, and you're free from your demons.
This is such a great concert! David looks so happy and healthy here. He does seem to forget some of the lyrics, but he is at his best and relaxed here. He pretends he is just jamming with friends in his living room. That is such a cool idea on his part. He can still dance on here and I love that he has his shirt tucked in. He has wrinkled shirts hanging out, at so many of his later concerts. His voice got raspy, and he was drunk and fell off the stage later. David, what happened to you? I feel so bad for you. Sue left you, and you lied to us about having dementia. I wish someone could have helped you. My daughter, the counselor, pointed out that the person has to want to help themselves for it work. I guess you gave up when Beau distanced himself from you, and you told Katie, "So much lost time." I wish you had had a better life. I wish we fans could have helped you, so you would have wanted to live longer. We love you still, even if you were an alcoholic. We fans know it was a disease. Sending you love and peace in Heaven, David.
@@wrinklies2167 David says that Beau did that on his Piers Morgan interview, here on UA-cam. When his wife, Sue, left him, she turned their son, Beau, against him. This is what David says happened. I am taking David's word for it. Watch the interview.
Hi Diane Martin and others with similar sentiments. Such a huge amount of love, respect and kind words for David I felt I had to chime in. David, according to Acts 24:15 has the hope of being resurrected "on Earth" not heaven. There are many other scriptures to support this. "What is God's Kingdom?" video and/or article found at JW.ORG will help explain this further using not man's thoughts or philosophys, but directly from God's own words recorded for us in the Bible.
mrgreeneye656 I too look forward to that time when ones will be brought back to life to enjoy perfect health on this very earth God created for us to enjoy and live on! Thank you for stating this Bible based fact mrgreeneye656❣️
Well, he's not actually sober here. He's just still able to hold it together for the most part. Please don't misunderstand me, I have very fond feelings for David Cassidy and great compassion for all that he went through starting way before the soul crushing fame. I'm just pointing out that some of his behavior, movements, speech here makes it unlikely that he was sober.
Looking set this concert again after many months,I can see how David really truly loved what he was doing,he had that audience in the palm of his hand,a true professional,they absolutely adored him,and he adored his fans,he was so lovely to listen to,not just his beautiful singing but his interaction with the audience,an amazing concert,an amazing man,we will love him forever.
Almost every morning my goto playlist when I wake up is the Partridge Family - the music - though it had some traction in the 70's - was really some of the best pop tunes ever written. and David was a great performer and singer.
David's voice sounded really good here! There is no difference in his voice from when he was doing the show and also his early solo records! Good guitar player too! Props to this band. The drummer is awesome! Watching this concert is so bitter sweet. So sad he couldn't get through any of those things that eventually took him way too early. 😞
I remember I was like 13 in 1970 when the TV show and the 1st album came out, so my little sister got it....And We had The Beatles and The Stones, and James Taylor, and Carol King, and The Mamas and Papas, etc. around the house. But I knew that This was Killer Pop music..I knew even back then that it was different than the 'Bubble Gum' music (which I liked) that was out at the time....It was way more sophisticated than stuff like The Archie's-Sugar Sugar, or The 1910 Fruit Gum Co.-Simon Says, or The Ohio Express-Yummy Yummy, or even Dizzy by Tommy Roe..It was more like The 5th Dimension or Mamas and Papas with all the great vocals and harmonies, and serious music playing behind it ..But through the decades they seem to sometimes get lumped in with maybe Bubblegum or Teenybopper music..Cause even a few years later in the early 70s we all got into Aerosmith, Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff, but I never forget how great The Partridge Family's music was..My little sister had David Cassidy on her walls for years, and I'd be thinking..Why can't I be as cool as him?...lol..frankm62yroldwhitekid rockfan
Yes, you're so right about the level of the pop he sang, and also right about how soon it got lumped in with "bubble gum" pop by so many people who weren't really listening. But, hey, you don't need to be David Cassidy (and I don't think you or any of us would actually want to be; you probably know how much he suffered from very early on) -- you can just be YOU, Frank. Please?
@@nspector I know exactly how much he suffered..But I was talking about his Partridge Family run from 1970 to 1974 when we were beginning high school..I never wanted to be David Cassidy. Just wanted to be how cool he seemed to be at that exact moment in the early 70s...By the middle of high school by 1974, I never followed his solo career much for decades..But I kept up on it.. It was a madhouse for him..My sister saw him in like 1976 and she said it was like seeing The Beatles or something.. With girls who never stopped screamig the whole show..God Bless David...frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan
@@frankny4947 Ah, ok, rereading your original comment, I see that you were talking about back in high school, not now. Big difference. My mistake! Thanks.
So underrated as a performer in the U.S. saw him in the 70s when I was very young at the Indpls. State Fair. What a singer. Thank you for the memories. I still love watching this concert.
i am about to tell a secret. I miss David Cassidy every day. I was 7 when Cassidy mania started. I went to one of his concerts about twenty years ago. Mom and I had front row seats. He held my face while singing I think I love you for 30 seconds. He made sure I could see him because some ladies were in front of me, and I was sitting in a wheelchair. Thanks Angel....
What a beautiful experience you had! ❤😊
@kristannharrigan2307 Thank you for sharing your lovely story, I believe he was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. I've never met him personally, but I did see him here in Australia in 1974 with his love to Australia tour, and I'll be honest I can't remember much of it apart from what he was wearing and his amazing voice ❤️ 💙
I am a guy who is 62, & this concert...made me cry. It's just really *sad* David is no longer..."in this life". The memories...were flowing...of days gone by. David...was a "gift" to all of us who paid attention.and absorbed his incredible talents. R I P!
so sad xxxx
@@angelinap5742 Were you a big fan?
@@cardtrix1970 only the last couple of years actually - but did watch the partridge family x
Such a natural entertainer
I’ve loved him for 50 years now….so sad he is gone😓
Finally, , the truth came out about I Write The Songs!!! I had every album David made, he was my first love way back in the 70's.I write the songs was on one them,no disrespect to Barry Manilow, but his version just is not as rich, or meaningful. I was a member of David s fan club, bought the monthly teen mag, his posters wallpapered my bedroom walls, and backed my school books.His music and beautiful smile got me through some troubling and dark teenage years.When I see his interviews and concerts, I am transformed, I'm not a lonely woman of 64 , living alone, i am that young carefree girl who totally adored and loved one of the best singers ever,- David Cassidy.I know he had his own demons, but I hope he also had lots of love in his life too.Born to entertain, beautiful voice, a face I will always melt at when I see, where ever you are David, I wish you peace.Crying while I write this, such a sad loss. Xxx
Looking back at our childhood is safe. We were young, carefree (a cliché but true) and all the responsibilities and trials of being a grown up were far in the future. We may look back and see some things thru rose coloured spectacles but they're our spectacles and our memories.
Your words made me cry.as well..David my first music fascination...and I'm still listen his beautiful songs ..adore his voice..
❤😢 so beautiful I feel exactly the same… don’t feel alone…. All of us David 🩵 fans have a special bond 💞forever xx
There will always be only one David Cassidy. We do miss him dearly!!
His vocal ability was overshadowed by the teen idol mania. He is charming and talented and humble.
From reading and learning much more about him...I think his father did a lot of damage to his son's joy in life. In interviews David has said his father was very jealous. Hard to take for him. He really was an incredible talent and artist. I have a whole new appreciation for him. And his wonderful personality. ❤️
You're so right. He was the complete package. The voice, the charisma, charm, and SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 No one compares. 💕💕💕
And he looked so much like his father. Sad Jack envied him.😢
I have recently researched David’s story. Yes, his father was awful to him. He desperately tried and tried to connect to the father he that he looked up to and loved unconditionally. What a piece of work Jack was. I watched interviews with Shirley Jones, she said David was so tender hearted. She said he got the worst of Jack. She said it wasn’t until Ryan(his youngest) when he started to TRY to be involved in any of his children’s lives. But, it was only Ryan. Such a heartbreaking story. I have grieved for David.
The man was a natural born showman he just loved performing. He loved his audience and they sure loved him, they’re aren’t many performers who engaged with their audience like he did he gave it his all. A class act.
Very, very well said! Amazing person and superb talent!
He loved women especially the ones who have been with him since they were teenie poppers
Today l am 64 and so happy to have been a teenager when l first listen to his wonderful voice and songs. He is and was my only İdol. RIP dear David. ❤😢
Dàvid is a awesome enter5ainer.i still remember the words to all his songs.i miss him so.i am 67 and his music makes me feel young at heart.you are sadly missed.rest in peace my dear dàvid.
What I notice is that he is so gentle with his audience. It is also very touching how respectful his audience of him.
I got to see David perform in 2001 much to my surprise. I was in a store when an announcement came over the radio station the store was playing. Free tickets to the David Cassidy concert at Harrah's. First 10 people. I was 10 minutes from the casino and I was driving a Mustang. I went! I got 2 tickets! You'd have thought I won the lottery ; ) I hadn't even known he was in town. My hubby was not so thrilled but he agreed to accompany me. A few nights later we got to the event. It was a small theater probably around 300 people. We saw and heard pretty much what you see here in this concert. That is to say he was fabulous. One of my teenage dreams finally came true at 45 I was in the same room with him and he was singing to me...sigh. There were 2 women that couldn't keep away from the stage and eventually he had to have them taken out by security. He gave them every chance but they began to disturb the show so...he was a gentleman in every respect that night. I was so grateful to have seen him at last and by chance as well. But the best part of the evening was when the show concluded and my husband said to me 'that was better than I thought it would be, he was good!' Wonderful night.
😂nice story,
Nice to hear your story!
I wish l could have been you!
So lucky and amazing to watch David in his live show 👍👍👍
I knew him when l was in teen back in Hong Kong.
He is handsome with attractive eyes and voice!
I have no chance to watch his show😢
RIP David❤
@@montanaminck8423 thank you!
@@nancychan6838 I just got lucky with those tickets. I didn't even know he was in town.
What a great story xx And how lucky for you.
I was 43 in 2001 and I would have been transported back to the pre-teen me if I had been there at this concert.
Like you, I thought he sang every song to me 😍.
He looked great! Healthy and could still swivel those hips!
Quite frankly his maturity here makes him even more irresistible. The audience is in the palm of his hands. His voice sounds fabulous. Missing you precious DC. 💖🌹💖
And, precious he was.
I loved him, too. And still loving him to this day. I, so much love all the songs, all the particular cuts from the early albums.❤❤❤
I grew up watching the Partridge Family( I loved that show) and my favorite part of the show was when they would sing in concerts and I loved all the songs they sang. Watching and hearing these songs brings back so many memories for me. I loved both David and Shaun, they were both teen idols. Miss you David, may you rest in peace. Thank you for so many great memories.
One of the most underrated singers due I think to his teen idol status. Too bad he was so tormented and left us too soon.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I was just telling my co-worker that his voice is almost flawless
That "teen idol status" was his meal ticket for the remainder of his life. That's why he was doing concerts like this decades later singing all those old Partridge Family songs. Even though he hated it, he kept cashing in on it, because he had to. It's what made him one of the most famous people who ever lived.
@@mcmlxii4419 he was a good singer but all of his songs are horrible, I dont see how in all those yrs he couldnt have found at least one real song to make into a hit. It's not even rock and roll, I dont what style these songs would be called but theyre not good. He is hitting all the notes but I hear the strain in his voice that comes from trying to sing songs that arent good, good songs flow out effortlessly. I bet he knew all this too and was frustrated.
@@joejones9520 His voice wasn't strained on the original albums. Only working live, I think. Many hit songs on those albums.
The way his father treated him didn’t help either.
A phenomenal artist that is under credited. David was huge. His concert draw in the 70s was tops amongst ALL artist. Talented and so personable. He left us way to soon. It was sad to hear some of his journey in life left him without the close love he could have found with others. I'm glad to have lived during his peak. Play his music. What a voice. His version of Cherish is filled with his heart. Watch his videos, he had the sex appeal men wish for and women adore. His rebirth on Broadway and then Vegas was confirmation of his talent and appeal to his fans. David you will live in the hearts of your friends and fans forever.
His Family helped with the rebirth of his career. Shaun worked with him & Patrick as well... They WANTED to help him & tried OVER & OVER... If you know ANY family that has an addict you see how worn out they get “rescuing” to start over...AGAIN & AGAIN... David was GORGEOUSLY HANDSOME, but his problems began before we ever saw him on stage or screen. His Father, Jack, left David & his Mother when David was young. I won’t say she was perfect,but not long before he got too sick to deny it anymore, in an interview he said he had been singing & remembering HYMNS that he remembered his Mother’s side of the Family sang & that he was interested in recording some of them? OK, sorry about trailing off there? JACK GUILTED HIM SO HORRIBLY when David became a heartthrob😢Jack was JEALOUS of David’s success😢He NEVER achieved the attraction of females & acting/music career that David did so he played head games until the end! Sooo David had to put up with his Dad as well as Industry Executives that stole income from him🧐I’m sure David did smoke some marijuana from time to time & prob other drugs recreationally but not hard core? Alcohol was another issue. It caused Family & Friends who WANTED to help him.They allowed him to sleep & eat at their homes when he went thru his periods of downward spiraling❣️Eventually they had to kick him out when the addiction brought out the David that we as the Fans & General Public only saw towards the end... There is a form of Dementia that is caused by Alcoholism. I heard about it several years before David exhibited symptoms. An LCSW told me about it. She said she had seen many Military Veterans with it in Veterans Hospitals. Trauma brought on by a Narcissistic Passive Aggressive Father then Fame at an early age without the proper🌟Family Foundation🌟 behind the scenes to keep him grounded only accelerated the Planets loss of a talented individual😫 If hard drugs had been his preference,he may have overdosed years before we actually lost him😇
I saw David Feb 26, 1972 in D.C. my 15th birthday. 3rd row seat will never forget!
Sad when he passed. I did shed some tears. God I grew up with him we are around the same age. I watch all his shows. I had his LP’s and 45’s. 😭
@@ritadaniels3175
Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate your post so very much.
What year was it that David Cassidy passed away?
Was he abusive to others,
in his addiction?
You mentioned the type of Dementia that is induced by alcohol. Does it have
it' s own name? I went to an all day clinic on Dementia in 10-2012. The speaker, (Teepa Snow), spoke of certain behavior characteristics that goes with it. We spoke on the break about it. Never heard anyone mention it since then,---until you. My mom passed of this disease 8 months after I attended this clinic. It was main reason I took interest in the clinic. When the speaker spoke of behavior
associated w/this kind of Dementia,---I had recognized the same behavior in a family member of mine. Very enlightening all day clinic. Since then, I have worked close to 5 years in a facility where we have had Dementia residents come & go. Sad, sad Disease.
So it was alcoholic abuse that caused Cassidy death
then? Please respond/Thanks❣💓💕💗❣
@@L.M.O. I’m sure that form has its own name... I’m in the midst of a personal storm currently so cannot fully respond @ moment... SO SORRY about Ur Mother❣️If I have NOT FULLY replied in 3-4mos hit me up again & I will... Happy Mother’s Day❣️
David Cassidy was awesome! I miss him a lot.
I was there! Singing along, waving and cheering to my teenage heart throb. I loved him soooo much from the age of 13 until my late fifties and I still know all the words to his songs. God bless you David Bruce Cassidy, I hope you are now at peace xx
That was surely a great experience you've had ,watching him live on stage. Pretty cool! I almost feel your excitement ...way back then☺💓
I was really before I ever saw David was when the show partridge family came out and when I got older into my teens but I got to see him on different tv host shows . I'm grateful for these videos brings me back and it's almost like he is still here. God bless you david
@@bonniecourt6876 I was so in love with him miss him so:(
What year was this?
@@HeyBudLetsParty69 2004 and 2007 I Think! Still got the tour T-shirt tucked away safely somewhere! 😃
I am 55 and I still love these songs. They were filled with emotion and you could sing along with them. He was such an underrated singer. His music was a gift to all of us. So sad that David is no longer with us. May he rest in peach until we all meet with him in that great concert hall in heaven
😢💔❣️♥️
Underrated???? He sold out stadiums all over the world!! That's NOT underrated!!
He looks so happy here! Such a beautiful talented man...I am just hoping he had some idea of how much he was loved. My heart is hurting.
Oh David knew alright that’s why he adored all his fans the world through, He had incredible talent in every field, They broke the mould when he was born, ❤️
Great voice, rich tone. The guy just wanted to be regarded as a respectable musician just like all the rest of us.
I was lucky enough to see him perform a couple of years before he passed. Such a talent and so kind. He is missed!
When I was 23 years old I've love my sweet girl it was the spring season and then I married.her and was Cassidy the songs of Cassidy.. we were hear his song together and play it on my guitar .but she died after a few years.. but am still remember all of that days
He looked so wonderful at this concert. I loved the smile and energy. I pray he found the peace in the spiritual world he couldn't find here. We love and miss you David ❤️💕🎼🎶🎸
Hi
Grew up watching The Partridge Family. Wish more DVDs from the 1970s would be available.
I don’t care who likes this fact but it makes me have joy for DAVID! He actually told Piers a month or so before he died that he had met Jesus in his bedroom. David was raised in church with his grandparents when he was young and David had a beautiful heart or he wouldn’t have taken that little girls death so hard he quit touring. I think we will see him again someday.
How many other women besides me who were girls in the early 70s expected to marry DC?
Not in the 70s. I was only 12, I think, I love him more today than then he's so loveable like a teddy 🧸 💓
It warms my heart to see him so happy and energetic, singing and playing so well. This is our David!
I'm watching this video again and again i can't get enough of him, he's very special to me 🤗
He was great then and fot ao much better with age. His voice his stage performance. He was amazing. Rest in peace we love and miss you. I know you are rocking heaven
Rest In Peace David Cassidy. You changed a whole lot of lives and gave us a day each week where we all wished we were a Partridge. We will miss you
Waching this 07/07/2024 and thinking how much of a loss to the music world David Cassidy is. Great musician and singer.
Looked so youthful throughout his life, really so sad that the drink overtook everything else.
Stunning man with so much talent and charisma ..So very sad his life couldn't have turned out differently and he could have found what he needed love ,peace and happiness .Life is so short but sometimes we forget that ..Such a special person who will be remembered .with love and joy ❤❤❤🌹🌹
I had to watch this again. David is so in his prime here. He has so much energy and looks so happy. I cannot believe he is 54 years old! He was aging well. Too bad that alcoholism is a disease, and David gave into it at the end. I have watched some of the channeling videos on UA-cam. David says he did give in and let his body die, because of depression. So sad. But he does say he is at peace and in Heaven. He is in the part of Heaven in nature, and is singing with the flowers. The flowers sing back to him. I like to picture him that way. He also says he can visit his relatives and fans on Earth. His spirit can come down here to us in dreams. I have felt him and bonded with him in dreams. I have read that other fans have felt him also. It is real, people! Remember
David loved us fans, so remember that we bonded with him. We can dream about him and feel his energy still. When we look at him, we can feel him still. This gives me comfort. I wish he was still here physically, but that is selfish. He is in a better place and finally at peace. I have such good memories of him, from my past. I love watching him on Partridge Family. I love seeing these concerts on UA-cam 😍. Aren't you glad we can watch him again on here? He has helped cheer me up during this pandemic, by seeing his beautiful smiling face. I will always love you, David.
Hi diane such nice words about David but when you write that he gave in and let his body die are you saying he didnt want to live anymore ,due to his addictions..I like everyone else so wish he could have got help and hope he has found love and peace. I remember David's music but never heard much of him after the PF.show .For whatever reason I feel drawn to watch David more n more and feel his songs reflect his life in many ways ..xo
Hi Diane, What are some of the channeling videos of DC have you watched? I would love to hear that he is happy and at peace on the other side. He’s such a special soul!! ❤️🙏🌟💕
Diane- your comments describe how I feel. I have had several dreams of David. I recently had a dream where I decided to leave with him. In my dream, I didn't have a problem saying good bye to my husband but didn't want to leave my son who was a young boy in my dream. David said he could come with us and bought him a horse with riding gear. It felt very real.
@@LoriB5 Hi just read your comments about your dream and Wow that must be a different experience to have a,dream like that ...I hope that David is happy and at peace and though I dont have dreams i am very drawn to him and his music ...Hope he still singing with his fantastic voice
Ein Traummann ❤ war er damals für mich gewesen...ich habe ihn sehr verehrt ⚘seine tolle Stimme sein mega tolles Aussehen...einfach nur super schön. Diese Zeit war der Hammer💌
David, this song you sung made me feel your love, so beautiful. I will always remember this as a teenager...happy happy memories..
David...I still love you.....I'm crying ...listening to your voice...music..❤️❤️😘
What most don’t understand is his personal FAN CLUB had more members than either Elvis Presley or the Beatles
I truly believe it was because he was Genuine
He could be your
Next Door Neighbor
Best Friend
& Especially for the Girls
Like in the TV show 90210
Your brother’s best friend
Besides the obvious his
Looks
Voice
ETC
One word I would describe David Cassidy is
Approachable
Wow! He still had those great pipes here! One of the most underrated artists of our time!
What a wonderful entertainer he was his music is Enjoyable
If I close my eyes its 1972 again x
Me too...and I'm a carefree senior in high school who life hadn't hurt yet. Young, healthy, happy and completely unaware of what the future would bring. Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...We all loved David!
David had such a great connection with his fans....He made himself reachable and had great love and respect for them....I am glad he was having a great time here....RIP DC.
I am still so crazy about David. Finest artist. One in a lifetime.
His son Beau just got married. His son is so handsome. RIP David ❤
I was crazy about him in the 70's, watching The Partridge Family, buying Tiger Beat magazines and any magazine with him on the cover or with articles about him but I forgot about him when he disappeared. Then suddenly I remembered him in 2008 and tried to catch up. Again I remembered him in 2017 and now in June 2020, I've been listening to his music and watching his interviews.
Ich finde es so schade, dass so ein toller Sänger weder in TV zu sehen noch im Radio zu hören ist. David hätte es so verdient! Seine Stimme und seine Songs sind so einmalig und zeitlos!!!
I never got how he drew in the energy to keep that schedule in the 70's between the series and his concert schedule. Give the guy credit. It would have killed me! Wonderful talent. Miss him.
Such a sexy charismatic man with such amazing talent
Yes, indeed!
People remember his distinct voice but he was a pretty good musician too.
never gave the credit he was due
I love and miss you David Cassidy, I wished I got the chance to have seen you. Rest in peace.
I am grateful for having the opportunity to see him in person he was awesome!!!!
If you‘re ever sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as DC.🧚♀️💕
What a great video and concert. He was so talented. Such a shame that he isn't anymore among us.
Today you turn 73 years old. Have a happy birthday in heaven David you will be in my ❤ forever love you.
Gone, but never will be forgotten. I love his body of work. RIP David.
Never was a fan (didn’t dislike him either, just wasn’t my thing back then), but Jezus this man deserved so much better in his life. Sad the way it all ended. RIP David Cassidy.
I paused this video at the 37:24 mark because I was making dinner and needed to focus on the stove. I don't think I could have picked a better moment that captured his spirit more beautifully. That smile was oozing pure joy. Oh, how I wish he could have carried that feeling with him all the days of his life. He knew we loved him, and that matters. It gives me comfort in the sadness of missing him and the love he brought to our lives.
Danny Bonaduce credits David with saving his life and helping him rebuild his reputation and career. David reached out when Danny kept getting arrested and told him he was taking Danny on tour with him to nightclubs and small venues around the country. There would be no women, no alcohol, and no drugs on the bus. Danny would be the person who did the promotion for the tour, getting on radio programs to talk up the shows in each city they'd visit. Before the tour was over, Danny had landed his first radio hosting gig, and the rest is history. Danny said that David gave this kind of performance whether there were 1,000 people at the venue, or 43. That tracks with who we always knew he was.
I wish someone had helped him pick up the pieces when he faced similar challenges in later years. He gave all of himself to those he loved, including his fans. In the end, it drained him.
I choose to remember him like he is at 37:24. That's the true David Cassidy. May he rest in eternal peace. 😔💔
His voice was so pure. Amazing and so sad. I just came across this and I am heart broken. I had the biggest crush on him that started when I was 10. He was one of kind and I don't think ppl realize what an exceptional musician he was.
Thank you for this Christine,the world at the moment is in the grip of Coronovirus,with a lot of uncertainty,a quite depressing time,listening to this beautiful,amazing man with his gorgeous looks,wonderful voice,makes me smile in such a difficult time,never be another David Cassidy,he was one special person who we loved then,and we love now,still miss him so much. Thanks again Christine.
I agree. Its very likely and interesting watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Christine Marie couldn't answer you, as she had crossed to where David is. Let's hope they both have peace and happiness.
@@elizabethroseclegg771Elizabeth,thank you for telling me about Christine Marie,not sure if she was a friend of yours but,I agree completely with what you said,let us hope and pray that both Christine and David have peace and happiness.
@@elizabethroseclegg771 How exactly do you know this…? I am her biological daughter here.
What a beautiful, amazingly talented man. It's such a shame that he never got the recognition he deserved. I love you forever sweet man ♥️
I don't think you're right here. Although he was famous as an actor, as a Partridge, he was also known as a creative musician in very many genres. He was extraordinary in every possible genre and way. I think the people he craved, and needed love from, ended up stealing from him, hurting him and humiliating him so much that he ended up hating himself, hence the end.
Shame on Dr. Phil for kicking a man when he's already down.
No matter what the time slot is. I was horrified that a doctor would treat anyone like this. Let alone allowing network pressure to influence a patient's treatment and care. That's all for now. I will henceforth behave appropriately (I hope). And please, forgive me.
Comments down farther on here say this concert happened in 2004, and David was 54. Wow! He looks so good for 54. He was aging well. The guys,who are jealous and not fans pick on you so later, David. If you had not started drinking again, what could have been, I wonder? So sad! It haunts me about how you end up looking so old and your body giving out on you. And you had such a good body to give up and let it waste away. You gave your all to us fans and promised us you loved us back, so I keep trying to find peace that you are in Heaven and put of pain, but I think I am still grieving your death still. I cannot believe you did not get a transplant or try to get better. I felt you were loved by so many women, one of us would have donated to you. Bobby Rydell got a transplant. I thought you could have gotten one too. You were only 67. You could have lived longer. You said in your book that if you started drinking again, you knew you were going to die. And you just started to drink and then go out to perform drunk.
You do interviews drunk also. I have watched and read everything I can about you to figure it out, and I have concluded that you got depressed and let yourself die. It was a slow suicide. David, I will pray that you are happy in the afterlife. I loved you so much, and still do.
o much. You were my first love, and I
Diane Martin, you are so amazing! Such a beautiful letter to David.
Yes, thank you for the comment. DC lied for years about his drinking, with advanced cirrohcis(sp) - he wldn't hve survived the surgery at that point.
@@ladylibertywdc8324 That is true
In his last “performance” in the movie “The Last Session” (available to stream) it was revealed he was in kidney failure (swelling throughout his body) and the beginning of multi organ failure (which he died from, due to alcoholism).
-If he had recognized the problem and gotten treatment, yes perhaps liver transplant could have been an option, but only if he proved he could be abstinent from alcohol.
-I loved him too and I still remember in my High School days, knowing he was in town for a concert and (not being able to be there), pining for his appearance on my street. Such fantasy.
@@ladylibertywdc8324 Yes, lots of comments on here about how fast he went down hill "in the end." But he was not sober here. Not meaning to take away from his performance at all -- he's still able to hold it together here. But there are lots of things in his behavior that show it was unlikely he was sober. You don't get to the point he was at in the end without a long history of drinking. Alcoholism is a progressive disease if a person isn't able to recover. I have a huge soft spot for David Cassidy, and he had so much against him starting way before the soul-crushing fame -- hardcore addition genes, and a father who abandoned him and then rejected him over and over -- it would have been a miracle if he hadn't turn to drinking.
My biggest regret in this life is not being able to see David in concert! I was 9 when The Partridge Family premiered so I was too young to see him in concert. Later in life I truly regret it.😢
Same. 😢
Such a showman. He was so underrated. I agree with most of these comments. He should have won all the awards.
What a talent!! Now I go back and listen to his music and I think he would be just as huge now as he was in the 70s. What an incredible voice! Did I know that back then? I wonder as I think back....or was it just his incredibly good looks that I noticed. I'm sorry I didn't follow him more! It is not surprising he had problems emotionally; the biggest star in the world.....how lonely it can actually be! Dont we all long sometimes for what once was?
The world misses you David Cassidy! There will NEVER be another you 🙏💔
His voice is romantic, sweet, unique. and sounds forever young. It is not boring, not loud, not screechy, note too strong like many famous artists and lead singers (Queen, Journey, etc.).
I saw David at MGM when he did "EFX". I made my then husband take me for my birthday (40th). 1998 Even my husband was impressed by his great performance. Hubby was 14yrs older too so again a great performance even though I had sent in my program for a signature with money and stamped return envelope. Never got either back. One big shout out to David's band who has been with him back then and up to the last thing he did - The Songs my Father Taught me. It was sad to see what bad shape he was in. His awesome drummer, guitarist, keyboardist and back up singers. Kudos to you all and RIP David. We all love you and hope you have found peace at last. 4/10/22. His Birthday will be in 2 days. 😥🙏
There is not enough of him to go around, the crowd love him so much,..he reminds us of our youth,..care free,..no worries or responsibles,..forever young...I like the way he let's the crowd join in..good interaction. ..!!they love him.
We miss you so much. Will never forget you, gone to soon.Singing with the angels now.❤
Dear Christine Marie thank you so very much for posting this concert. This is just priceless and a beautiful present to us all. Thank you
Just found your "UA-cam" took me back to my childhood. Loved David so much. thank you so much
This puts a smile on my face even though I am saddened that David is no longer around, he will always be remembered as his singing which was phenomenal!
56 year old male. I watched the show and loved it. Susan dey❤ As of recent i have dived into David Cassidy's music he has a AWESOME VOICE. Decent guitarist Great performer. Sad he is gone
This man was a great performer he really let go in his concert. Always loved him. He died so much before his Time. R. I. P. ❤️
David got even more good looking as he aged! Love his songs!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
He was the Elvis of MY generation! My MOM had Elvis! My brothers and sister, we had David Cassidy. NOW he is GONE too. RIP David! STill listening in Oregon, USA!
Love the way he so graciously and tenderly shakes hands with the ppl in the audience. It just looks so genuine. If it isn’t- he certainly has the ‘act’ down pat!
People remember him as one of the actors/singers that defined what a "teen idol" is.... but watching him here, you see just how natural he was as a performer. The stage was where he truly was in his element, and was probably also the place he was happiest.
U left ur mark! Maybe not the way u wanted; but b proud that u did. So many of us leave this life anonymously except 2 a tiny group of friends & family...... RIP. 😔🤙🏽🙏🏼
Rest in peace David we always will love you. 💖
I was two and half years old in the summer of 1972. When the Partridge Family went in syndication for the first time is when I discovered David Cassidy.
Man, he could still move those hips in the most provocatively way. Slurp.
The guy kept girls' panties moist for DECADES !!! >:)
David was a wonderful performer and left us way too early. I'm glad to see this video as he seems happy and enjoying himself. So sad alcohol and depression took him way too soon. God bless him. He cared for his audience and worked so hard all his life. I pray he has found peace.
This was beyond words. He was great as a teenager and great as a middle aged man. I could listen to him all day. It was a sad day the day he died. He is greatly missed. RIP David Cassidy. We love you. Maybe I'll see you beyond those pearly gates. 🙏💜🙏
So true - I lost touch with is life after 1974 and when he died - I delved in and absolutely amazed at his talent and achievements - so underrated
He was and remains the best. Always & Forever ❤️ 🙏🏼 See how much love and affection he gave to us fans. So much, enough for our whole life and beyond. He comforted me as a teenager, later he was always there and now he still comforts. Will never stop loving this wonderful unique guy.💕🥀
I LOVE YOU- DAVID CASSIDY!!!!! What an amazing man. I truly enjoyed watching this concert- several times already. Thanks for sharing.
Never get tired of listening his version of " I Write The Song".
Yes, until I saw this I had forgotten Manilow had actually lost the draw to David but it was absolutely magic remembering David. I have been a Manilow fan but DC's voice knocks him into a cocked hat! Noooo contest! Our David is undeniably more eeeeasy on the eyeeee too! 😍 Gone too soon, may he rest in peace.
Thanks for the music,gone but never forgotten
love the drummer, she is kick ass!
I have no - o idea, who the heck was that young lady , behind the drum set, yet my compliment to her, indeed, she was simply excellen, yes, excellent! Just a personal tought? Is she a drum teacher, by any chance? Or is she way past that stage My dear, who ever yo wer / are, you definetly do deserve, evry one's rcognation & appre4ciation. Good beat girl?! ( No offense by any means, sorry? !
Thank you for publishing this Christine! It is wonderful to relive this show!
David was so talented, with his breathy, distinctive, singing voice making every song so emotive. He could play drums, piano, guitar too - a real musician of the highest quality! He was the most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on! He had the most amazing smile, gorgeous eyes, perfect nose and sweet lips. Plus, he was funny, bright, quick-witted, well spoken, kind, generous, affectionate, sensual, and cheeky. Sadly he experienced negative, hurtful events that cut him to the quick, so he developed unhealthy coping strategies. Eventually, despite many periods of sobriety, his demons damaged his body, mind and heart. I literally felt like every cell in my body was torn asunder when he passed on and I miss him every day of my life. Oh how loved he is... Could it be forever? Definitely, eternally.
I love the band too, the sirens, and Teri Cote, drummer, Frank Fabio, Matthew Sullivan, Rob Cooke, Lon Bronson, my fave part of the concert is how he introduces them in song. If I forgot someone apologies, I think that's all of them, talented, gorgeous. I love Lisa Mayer and Candace Davis-Martin.
I still can't believe that he's gone. I saw him at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia, and I think it was similar to this. RIP. I hope you have reconciled with your father, and you're free from your demons.
Thank you for posting this. I am 62 and still love David. Always will. 😍😘😙😍
What an electrifying entertainer.He lived to be on stage
This is such a great concert! David looks so happy and healthy here. He does seem to forget some of the lyrics, but he is at his best and relaxed here. He pretends he is just jamming with friends in his living room. That is such a cool idea on his part. He can still dance on here and I love that he has his shirt tucked in. He has wrinkled shirts hanging out, at so many of his later concerts. His voice got raspy, and he was drunk and fell off the stage later. David, what happened to you? I feel so bad for you. Sue left you, and you lied to us about having dementia. I wish someone could have helped you. My daughter, the counselor, pointed out that the person has to want to help themselves for it work. I guess you gave up when Beau distanced himself from you, and you told Katie, "So much lost time." I wish you had had a better life. I wish we fans could have helped you, so you would have wanted to live longer. We love you still, even if you were an alcoholic. We fans know it was a disease. Sending you love and peace in Heaven, David.
Diane Martin how do you know some of this like his son distanced himself from his Father for instance
@@wrinklies2167 David says that Beau did that on his Piers Morgan interview, here on UA-cam. When his wife, Sue, left him, she turned their son, Beau, against him. This is what David says happened. I am taking David's word for it. Watch the interview.
Hi Diane Martin and others with similar sentiments. Such a huge amount of love, respect and kind words for David I felt I had to chime in.
David, according to Acts 24:15 has the hope of being resurrected "on Earth" not heaven. There are many other scriptures to support this. "What is God's Kingdom?" video and/or article found at JW.ORG will help explain this further using not man's thoughts or philosophys, but directly from God's own words recorded for us in the Bible.
mrgreeneye656 I too look forward to that time when ones will be brought back to life to enjoy perfect health on this very earth God created for us to enjoy and live on! Thank you for stating this Bible based fact mrgreeneye656❣️
Well, he's not actually sober here. He's just still able to hold it together for the most part. Please don't misunderstand me, I have very fond feelings for David Cassidy and great compassion for all that he went through starting way before the soul crushing fame. I'm just pointing out that some of his behavior, movements, speech here makes it unlikely that he was sober.
My grandmother loved I Write The Songs so I would sing to her I write the songs that make the old girls cry. Now I am the old girl and I am bawling.
Looking set this concert again after many months,I can see how David really truly loved what he was doing,he had that audience in the palm of his hand,a true professional,they absolutely adored him,and he adored his fans,he was so lovely to listen to,not just his beautiful singing but his interaction with the audience,an amazing concert,an amazing man,we will love him forever.
I love David Cassidy! His Voice is soft and sexy. Cherish is one of my favourites song ever. R.I.P.
Almost every morning my goto playlist when I wake up is the Partridge Family - the music - though it had some traction in the 70's - was really some of the best pop tunes ever written. and David was a great performer and singer.
David's voice sounded really good here! There is no difference in his voice from when he was doing the show and also his early solo records! Good guitar player too! Props to this band. The drummer is awesome! Watching this concert is so bitter sweet. So sad he couldn't get through any of those things that eventually took him way too early. 😞
I remember I was like 13 in 1970 when the TV show and the 1st album came out, so my little sister got it....And We had The Beatles and The Stones, and James Taylor, and Carol King, and The Mamas and Papas, etc. around the house. But I knew that This was Killer Pop music..I knew even back then that it was different than the 'Bubble Gum' music (which I liked) that was out at the time....It was way more sophisticated than stuff like The Archie's-Sugar Sugar, or The 1910 Fruit Gum Co.-Simon Says, or The Ohio Express-Yummy Yummy, or even Dizzy by Tommy Roe..It was more like The 5th Dimension or Mamas and Papas with all the great vocals and harmonies, and serious music playing behind it ..But through the decades they seem to sometimes get lumped in with maybe Bubblegum or Teenybopper music..Cause even a few years later in the early 70s we all got into Aerosmith, Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff, but I never forget how great The Partridge Family's music was..My little sister had David Cassidy on her walls for years, and I'd be thinking..Why can't I be as cool as him?...lol..frankm62yroldwhitekid rockfan
Yes, you're so right about the level of the pop he sang, and also right about how soon it got lumped in with "bubble gum" pop by so many people who weren't really listening.
But, hey, you don't need to be David Cassidy (and I don't think you or any of us would actually want to be; you probably know how much he suffered from very early on) -- you can just be YOU, Frank. Please?
@@nspector I know exactly how much he suffered..But I was talking about his Partridge Family run from 1970 to 1974 when we were beginning high school..I never wanted to be David Cassidy. Just wanted to be how cool he seemed to be at that exact moment in the early 70s...By the middle of high school by 1974, I never followed his solo career much for decades..But I kept up on it.. It was a madhouse for him..My sister saw him in like 1976 and she said it was like seeing The Beatles or something.. With girls who never stopped screamig the whole show..God Bless David...frankny65yroldwhitekid rockfan
@@frankny4947 Ah, ok, rereading your original comment, I see that you were talking about back in high school, not now. Big difference. My mistake! Thanks.
So underrated as a performer in the U.S. saw him in the 70s when I was very young at the Indpls. State Fair. What a singer. Thank you for the memories. I still love watching this concert.
What a nice concert!!! We love David in heaven we will met again 💙
He seems so sweet and kind. He also has major awesome stage presence.
Thank you for posting the entire concert. He sure put on an amazing performance that night! Loved it! ❤️
I remember the summer of 1972 I was just shy of 14 and spent the summer on my 73cc Kawasaki dirt bike.
I absolutely love this! Miss David so much.
