Wow! Isn't it nice to hear him play "One Night Stand" during a concert? He should include it in his playlist today - it really stands the test of time and is a refreshing change of pace from "Echo Valley" and "ITILY". Would people be that disappointed not to hear "ITILY" during a concert? It's been done to death and beyond. Nothing tops the initial recorded version and fiddling with it mars its innocence. So many other Partridge Family songs to re-discover.
This clip was REALLY fabulous. Thank you Clodyne for sharing, once again.
By the way, is that THE shrieker we hear? The one who bugs in recent concert clips? Surely not!?!?

This performance is worth screaming about!!!! I'd contain myself but I'd be bursting inside! LOL! I love to see him performing so well and so energetically, especially from the early 90s. What a treat!!! Thanks again DD and Clodyne!
You're welcome SingmeDavid!! ;-)
Don't think its the same screamer. During this tour even guys were screaming out at the shows. At the end of this concert video (it was going around fans to trade then)the guy filming it yells out supportive things to David when David says things about his career and what the next song is. Usually distracting at a concert,but for this tour David was just so F---ing amazing screaming and calling out good things was understood and tolerated by audience, and David. Thanks Cloydene. And those pants - at a show in Vancouver, the ties in front accidentally opened and little David said hi as women knocked each other over to get to the stage for peek! LOL The concert was video'd and went around fans too but damn- that moment was not captured by the video-er.
I can hear some of my readers fanning themselves as they read your last comment, Barbara. Little David, indeed.
I tried to find an article about it online, and I found this Facebook entry on the Harpo's Victoria site - this is the club he played there.
They asked the question:
Best Concert Ever
Harpo's Cabaret 1974-1995 Victoria BC Canada
Here is two people's answers....seee?
Caroline: Can't decide... saw far too many there. The love-in that was Sarah Mclachlan in '89, smoke blowing in the faces of Concrete Blone in '90. David Cassidy's pants ripping down the front in '90, wow... good times
David: I was working center stage at that Cassidy show and it was terrifying. I thought my life was over with the resulting cougar crush. Toughest show I ever did stage security for and that includes all the metal and punk/hc shows I worked.
O M G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has catapulted me into ecstasy! A fantasy come true. I'm not surprised, really. He fills them out, uh, so well, and he's so, um, VIGOROUS!!!!! SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!!! Can you all imagine????? LOL!!!! Oh, I LOVE IT!!!!!
I honestly don't know what I'd do if I saw that. I'd probably be too awestruck to move. ...Barbara, (lol), um, was LD, um, "covered"? I'm sorry, but based on what I've seen, we've all seen, that is a fair question. LOL!
Yup, I'm one of them, DD!!!!!!! My glasses are steaming up. And to think I actually sat down here to cool off after my hot shower. LOL!!!!
WOW. DD, I think you may want to put a public health warning on your blog now. Those pants are dangerously seductive. ;-)
My guess is no. Is that right? LD in the flesh?
I'm curious to know what David's reaction was when he realized what happened. Do you know Barbara?
Why didn't I know? If David announced that he was going to do a show like this today, I would immediately book a flight. I would find the money for it wherever in the world it would be.
I'd go too!!!
Love the songs. Separately. Don't like the arrangements or the rotten backing band. Still love his voice. He's the only one who can sing those songs.
I'm starting to think that Wes Farrell was the only person who knew how to get the best out of David Cassidy. DC hated being handled, hated not being able to do what he wanted, but when Farrell was running the show, DC never looked better, sounded better, or was surrounded by better musicians.
What about his RCA albums, SLK? Do you think they are good?
Thanks for your input. I always appreciate it!
Well, I've a feeling it's hard to beat "The Wrecking Crew". They were the crème de la crème of studio musicians. I think DC sounds fabulous on "Dreams..." and Farrell was nowhere to be seen on that album. I also think that a lot of the PF arrangements often drowned his voice. It took me a while to warm up to his solo stuff but I've yet to tire of it whereas I can easily get my fill of PF songs which I thought were the stronger of the two.
But if Farrell was in any way responsible for how DC LOOKED, well, then, he's my new hero. ;-)
I know a lot of people liked his RCA albums, and they were an honest attempt at a musical comeback, for which I give him credit of course, but I never thought they did justice to his singing. All those wailing guitar solos and crashing drumbeats. So loud! Way too much Jefferson Starship. To me, his voice has so much expression that it needs simpler arrangements so that you can hear what he's doing with the song.
Farrell ran things up until (I believe) Rock Me Baby, and I like Rock Me Baby the best out of everything he ever did. DD, you think the PF arrangements drowned his voice? Maybe I'm remembering things wrong. How do you see that?
DD, you know I agree with you about Dreams are... That is David's best album ever, where his voice really comes to its rights.
SLK, perhaps drowned is the wrong word. I find the background vocals on PF songs often distract from DC's vocals. As for his RCA albums, when you mention wailing guitar solos and crashing drumbeats, I'm wondering if perhaps you're thinking of his stuff from the nineties? His 3 RCA albums are from the mid-seventies: "The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall", "Home is Where the Heart Is" and "Gettin' it in the Street". Junked Heart Blues is on "Gettin' it in the Street" and his version of "I Write the Songs" is on "The Higher..."
Yes, you're right, I was thinking of the 90's albums. sorry, my brain is addled this week!
