Miki Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Well I quite enjoyed the programme and I learned a little more than I knew an hour ago about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I completely forgot how much I liked his music - I am just going to tell my 14-year-old to download some Cat Stevens to check it out (he might even like it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyC Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 And I feel even more justified in replacing all my Cat Stevens albums with CDs bought on Ebay. His was the only concert I queued up to buy tickets for, God it was cold at 4am in Drury Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I forgot, what with all the guests getting in the way of my goggle box viewing !The new album comes out in the Autumn and on the Polydor label. I didput this on once while back but it might have been elsewhere ! Tina has been singing all morning, it ain't pretty (not like Twinklessinging !) but the words appear to be in the right order ! He sang afew lines from a couple of songs from the new album and it wascertainly in the old style.As the programme was on BBC, there isa good chance it will be repeatedbefore long on one of the other BBC channels, not sure about the net.Lots of stuff of course on the net including his own excellent website but this was a good piece in the Independant about Yusufhttp://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/music/news/article485922.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I was amazed at how young his voice still is. I bought the collection album a few years back, and it was my favourite listening for a while, but I wasn't a huge fan when he was active - more into the likes of King Crimson and Jethro Tull...

Maybe having nearly 30 years off, means the voice simply starts up again where it left off !! Mmmm wonderwhat I would sound like now then ! He has a stage musical underconstruction at the moment, marking his progess through to hisMuslim faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:-))]What about Be Bop Deluxe??!! We went to Edinburgh to see Bill Nelson, last year & it was brilliant!!Edit: Just told Mark about this thread & his wee face lit up like a light!! Dick - were you into the early 70's KC or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 I was at King Crimson's first gig (the Stones free concert in Hyde Park) and saw Tull at UCL a couple of months after they started performing, so can claim to be a ground-level fan!I bought the first 2 KC albums, and sort of lost interest (all Frippery!) but Tull lasted a lot longer - my kids took me to a concert on (I think) my 45th birthday. My 50th was His Immaculate Bobness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
