Rare David Cassidy never aired or seen! 

Do you own the episode where they get put in Jail for speeding through a southern town? I can't seem to find that one.

Kitty I myself am an international singer songwriter today... from UK I was asked to take a friend of my mothers to Manchester to see David in concert ,,, and since that time way back in the 70's there has been no artist in my opinion who had al the attributes David had, in ways of looks stage presence and sheer musicality coupled with the unique talent makes him one of the greatest artists ever! .... I do think he was appreciated, but the problem being those who simply could not recognise his absolute genius.... Dave lives on ! xx Nigel H Seymour

@@nigelhseymour Awwwe love your comment! Thank you 🙏 💕

Agreed!

Definitely! I pray he is in Jesus loving arms.

He was a crooner to be sure! But he always wanted to be an actor rather than a singer, didn't he? One of his biggest issues and one which caused a lot of his problems. Miss him so much!

He was an excellent actor as well!

Yes. But those were not in vouge anymore. He needed to rock out after the partridge family. He had the pipes to do that . If that didn't work then he could of went back to mainstream stuff and ecked out a decent living. Although he was broke big time by the end.

Hi how are you doing my friend?

When I saw him I swooned.

It was that David had the sweetest, sexy, smile along with the sexiest , twinkliest eyes and an equally sexy voice. That’s why straight guys can’t take him. He’s was the epitome of charming.

Absolutely He was gorgeous.

He absolutely loved his fans and many from the UK would see him everywhere they could. Lovely people too.

I’ve been binging Partridge Family the past few days and now I realize how talented David Cassidy was! I always loved that show as a kid but never really appreciated the great acting skills of David Cassidy, Susan Dey, or Danny Bonaduce until now.

I couldn’t agree more! He was also a way a more than amazing actor. Very few people are as naturally gifted but he also put the work in. It saddens me so deeply when some colleague or fan makes a snarky comment about bad behavior. I knew and worked with him before any of that and can tell you he was a classy and compassionate man.

lol some would say overrated.

@@cdick Anyone who says he was overrated doesn't know music and/or needs their ears checked.

@@angelthman1659 He was a good singer. He had an unbelievable career. Was he Elvis Presley? No. His intelligence was that he used his talent to make millions of dollars. He was certainly not underrated

@@cdick David was a way better singer than Elvis. I get it. He was never as huge or iconic, but as far as vocal range, David totally wins. Elvis was a larger than life figure, but vocally limited imo.

I'm 68 also seen him n concerts ❤️ him then and forever REST N PEACE

I agree! He was never embraced as a serious artist and his attempts to evolve were never really embraced. He came to terms with that and knew what people wanted from him and he delivered. He was a really wonderful guy to work with.

❤l loved David Cassidy seen him few times 😮

Me 2 ! :)

Me 3!

That is what I was hoping for : )

@@MatGurman Yes, he really had an amazing kind of sparkle, didn't he. Lots of demons, as we know, but there were times like this where he could give from the heart and perform in a way that was quite beautiful, playful, not taking himself too seriously, with a kind of freedom -- and control -- that was really incredible. I can't say much more technically because I know almost nothing about singing or music, but I'm pretty sure he was great. Thank you so much for making it possible for us to see this.

@@nspector he brought a true kind of....city chic yet casual.cafe. atmosphere....a classic STAR

I so agree with your comment. He was never given the credit he deserved for being an amazing singer.....thought of as only a ' 'bubble gum' singer. I do believe this performace would have changed the minds of some of those people.

Can't believe this was not shown. Really shows how talented and charming DC was. It was heartbreaking what DC went through health wise and that we lost him so young.

Thank you for that comment. You are so right. This is as behind the scenes as it gets, we were just having fun and David’s gift of music and charm just flows effortlessly 💜🎶

@@MatGurman It reminds me of the first time I heard his recording of "If I didn't care" , miles removed from any Partridge Family or rock songs he performed and recorded when he was still in his twenties, displaying just how much control of his voice he had and understanding for the feel of that style of song at such a young age. It is such a crying shame that he isn't more recognized as the great and versatile vocalist he was. "The Higher they climb, the harder they fall" and "Home is where the heart is" are still 2 of my favourite albums of all-time where he shows he can really rock. What a special time it must have been for you to play in his band and to get to know him as a person.

@@CommontaryTouch Oh, wow, I just went and found his "If I Didn't Care." Thank you!

Hi how are you doing my friend

Yes, he very much had me thinking about his father, its the smile

Hi

I kind of had one for Susan : )

@@MatGurman 🎶you and me both☝🏻😏💞

@@MatGurman do you have any stories of David and Susan at the This is Your Life show?

You and me both!

Yes, a lot of people dismissed him artistically and wanted to keep him in a nostalgia roll. It’s evident here how much power and control he had. His pitch is spot on and he takes chances musically and nails it with bluesy fills while joking around with Katie. That is not easy to do but he does it effortlessly. He had “Big Ears” musically speaking.

@@MatGurman I don't know anything about that but I know he was magical ✨️

My first concert was to see him in Madison square garden

@@lorimiller4301 Matt you would know better than anyone of DCs many many talents! Glad you posted this!!

@@mariadigirolamo123 wow, lucky you!

He enjoyed reinventing that song in different styles. It was a lot of fun to perform also!

Beautiful ❤️

🎶💞just remember☝🏻😏🤳

WOW!

You are very lucky to have been with him ❤️

Remi you are very lucky to have those very special memories with David as he seemed a very easy going guy ,with a great sense of humour n brilliantly talented. ❣❣❣❣

Hi how are you doing my friend

How a person is treated during their first 6 years directly effects the rest of their lives.

From what I know he was already a singer , although he got more " popular " because of partridge family " he wasn't treated right by fans or record people because he was on partridge family.he became an alcoholic recluse because crazed fans were ready to " attack " when they saw him out and about he couldn't be David Cassidy he had to be David Cassidy/ Keith partridge .

@@lorimiller4301 yes, you are absolutely correct. It’s a psychological fact. Vladimir Lenin made an ominous historical quote about it that is just chilling, something to the effect that those years so fundamentally shape a child’s personality and beliefs that what they are exposed to cant be undone. I think personal work can undue a lot later in life. It take enormous work, self knowledge and desire to transcend one’s past…but even then, the damage it there. Thank you for your very insightful comment!

@@dfangirl72 his father self medicated in the same way. I think that set an example for him. David never got over the event of the fan being crushed. He once told me he did a tremendous amount of personal work but it always bothered him. He was such a sensitive guy that he carried that as guilt. It was not his fault. The fans were hysterical at that concert.

@@MatGurman it's been so long didn't remember the fan was crushed .I know there was an episode of the 70's show wkrp about similar thing happening at concert and how they were all just saddened.they also treated David like he was a tart , I remember the pics of him being very sexualized , I have a relative died in a shocking way the guy never got over it he went through therapy he'd be OK for a while then wake in a sweat screaming !

Hi how are you doing my friend?

Hi how are you doing my friend

David hatte den Rhythmus bis in die kleinste Zelle seines Körpers. er war und ist fantastisch. Ich bin süchtig nach seinen Liedern und könnte immer wieder seiner Stimme zuhören. Ich muss nur aufpassen dass ich nicht weltfremd werde und alles andere vergesse. Eigentlich müsste ich bügeln, aufräumen und anderes erledigen. aber jetzt noch zwei Songs oder drei oder fünf. David forever 🍓🍓🍓 he's sweet like a strawberry. tschüss und liebe Grüße an alle seine Fans.

Hi how are you?

It’s true. They both had immutable charm!

He reminds me of Bobby Darin and I'm sure he could have sang his songs extremely well . His infectious smile easily inspires us to smile with him . He was obviously loved and respected by many many people . This video is a true gem , thank you !

Beautiful!

He must have been a bit embarrassed being put on the spot. Kind of fun to watch though.

Thanks, for sharing this. always liked David Cassidy.

I’m so glad it has brought joy to so many people! I will post more personal stuff when I can.

Yes, he really was a beautiful 40 something!

@@karencox8240 Beautiful at every age, IMO. 💜

I was six!

I’m glad you appreciated it. It’s my favorite video moment with him and I finally decided this was the moment to share it with his fans. It reveals so much about who he was. It is really special 🎶

@@MatGurman Oh, wow, your favorite video moment with him. Amazing. Can I ask you how long you played with him?

This is from my private stock from gigs I did with him. Everything else was aired and shared because it was available from other sources. This performance took place after the show finished and was never aired, shared or broadcast. I have saved it for nearly 30 years before sharing publicly.

@@MatGurman well I am so thrilled and very thankful you did share this with us Matt…it will be treasured and enjoyed so much..David’s pure talent and brilliant good humour and charm in bucketloads during this rare footage….WOW…just wonderful..he is truly missed and loved ❤️ Thank you!! Xx

Thank you!

@@MatGurman Thank you for releasing this video. Enjoyed seeing this.

This was very generous of you to share. I want to add my thanks as well.

Your comment is spot on. He told me he was very into Jimi Hendrix and he would have loved to have more guitar chops. He would bust into a bluesy riff every once in a while. He was always experimenting with his rig also, working on getting a great rock sound because it was important to him. He had to resolve himself that people wanted the nostalgia. He tried to reinvent through more contemporary music but he knew what people wanted from him. He was very aware of different styles of music and could get into different styles effortlessly. We did a reggae version of I think I love you for the “This is your life” show. It was a great idea and all his. Most fans did not embrace it. Sad. It’s up on RU-vid. Smoldering version. He was sick that morning with a sore throat but you would never know it cause he was such a pro.

Hi how are you doing my friend?

I was waiting for the right occasion to share it and the Star on the LV a “Walk of Stars” was the perfect joyous occasion. I will be posting some personal stories in a few weeks. I’m glad you liked it 🎶

Hi how are you doing my friend

I’m glad it helped!

Hi

I’m very glad to know that : )

I’m glad I finally shared it : )

Thank you Yvonne!

Hello Nancy

All the girls wanted him And the boys to🎶be like him💞☝🏻😏🤳

Shame the way his health went 🙏

@@miamelia1911 alcohol is for losers and Homer Simpson🍺🥴🍻

Hi Karen

Hi how are you doing my friend?

David was like Charm Bomb that day. It was a natural part of his personality, Jack had it too!

Sad indeed!

We were chomping at the bit to play. I’m so glad we did and were able to capture this personal moment.

@@MatGurman says a lot of his character, and consideration for fellow musicians that day. many would have just stormed off.... so cool that you got to play with him! thanks for sharing this, i love it. be well!

Amazing! Thank you!

You can see how Billy (on bass) is just beaming with joy watching David and Katie Dancing and joking with each other. There were no egos there, just love and support from everybody. It’s such a rare opportunity to see something so spontaneous and beautiful happening and have it captured on tape! This warms me every time I watch it.

@@MatGurman Me too. So beautiful.
