Al Stewart with The Empty Pockets - " Time Passages" April 18, 2022 at Daryl's House Club 

I would have been crying with you my favorite song of all time

I just saw Al in New Hampshire last night (3/31/23). I felt the same way when He was playing this

I'm crying too. This is as beautiful today as it was back in the day 💕

Pass the Kleenex please.

I’ve seen Al Stewart three times in the last 18 months. I can’t get enough!

That's how it's done kids.💞🙏

I have seen him like ten times over the last 15 years or so, and every show is great. My favorite part is that he changes his concert style every couple of years, so like when I first saw him he was touring with Peter White and a guest saxophonist, the next time I saw him he was with a full band, the next time it was just he and Dave Nachmanoff and Dave played all the saxophone solos on his acoustic guitar which worked surprisingly well, then he did some shows with an orchestra though I did sadly miss those, haha. His current band the Empty Pockets have really grown on me since the first time I saw him tour with them, too. Probably are a lot more comfortable doing his songs now after dozens of shows.

envelheceu muito bem

❤

Yes!!!

I was twelve in 1978, seventh grade, my family moved to the next state. Tough time for a kid to move, insecure, new town, all old friends left behind. I would listen to the radio at night and the songs of '78 would make me think of my friends back in junior high in Nebraska.

You nailed it! We all did the same thing, I still have my cassettes from those days! OMG the memories

Talk about kicking it old school !

❤

Sounds like a good tradition

The guy on Sax left the band. Saw this band and Al at the Paramount Peekskill March 24 2023!!! Perfect!!

​@@familydogg1234 He left the band in the last five days?

Aren't we all! How F-ing fast time has flown by, it seems like yesterday this was on the radio...... radio remember that?

His voice has held up over the years.

Saw him in October of 2023

Excelente comentário!!

Peter Noone!

That's Marc Macisso! He's awesome :-)

He was with them when I saw Al Stewart in Minneapolis 2 days ago. He also slays with the flute.

he has a nail-studio..... 😀

Just saw them in Mt. Vernon, WA. I agree about The Empty Pockets. Great bunch and they have fun! The sax player had left suddenly a couple of gigs before, and they recruited a replacement on short notice (I don't remember his name). He nailed the flute and sax parts, especially on Year of The Cats. He's now on for the rest of the tour.

Fortunate you!

​@@bobphillips3222If it was Washington, that was the talented Chase Huna on sax and flute. He's a fun cat, glad you enjoyed the show, thanks for the kind words!

This is hysterical and scary. Empty Pockets will be playing at our tiny carriage house in Fanwood, NJ in May and I just googled them to see what they were about. Then, hours later, THIS shows up in my RU-vid feed. I had no idea they were the band until I read your comment.

Soon all songs will be a.i. written

And it would come on the radio

Yes, yes!!

Honestly he sounds better here than when I last saw him in 2019; got tickets to the Chicago show next month, pretty excited for my like 10th Al Stewart show, haha.

Al is still a rock star.

AL said Alan Parsons got him to add sax to his songs. says he was originally opposed. I think Alan Parsons is a VERY smart man.

Saw him in the early 1970's when he opened for Shawn Phillips, Modern Times album tour. He seemed younger than most of that band. Al Stewart is still pretty impressive.

Absolutely. I heard what you talk about first when I was 13 in ‘78 and never forgot about this song & singer
