He just went on and on about how terrible it was. After the very entertaining set by Mr. Jones, Mr. Cassidy was just a big letdown. Super Dreamy only goes so far...the music was lacking.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what the blogosphere will be saying about the Jonas Brothers in 30 years - will anyone care? Will they still be performing? Will they have any hair? Will they still be virgins? None of that will matter because people will still go see them and enjoy thinking about what they used to represent. If they're smart they'll give the people what they want and embrace their own cheezy selves (and laugh all the way to the bank).The New Jan Bradynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-79885731871318845492009-04-10T07:08:00.000-07:002009-04-10T07:08:00.000-07:00It's always good to take a trip down memory lane a...It's always good to take a trip down memory lane and back to your youth, but even the die-hard fans must have to admit David Cassidy's concerts have become so predictable. There's such a back catalogue he could tap into and the fact he's married to a songwriter puzzles me as to why there's been no new recordings since the 80's?<BR/>As for John Lennon, I just think DC is trying to emulate him with his world peace and political rants.Suzynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32087936.post-88825123233174934972009-04-10T06:47:00.000-07:002009-04-10T06:47:00.000-07:00Chatting to fans intermittantly between songs adds...Chatting to fans intermittantly between songs adds a personal touch and strays from the robotic performances some artistes deliver.<BR/>Sadly, I feel David Cassidy's little chats have progressed into ramblings and neither he or his attentive audience know what the heck he's talking about most of the time. I've heard many a fan shout 'shut up and sing'! His reply is usually on the lines, 'it's my show and I'll do what I like'. He seems to have no regard for the people who put him where he is.

I am a huge Da...HI Judy,<BR/>I really enjoyed your post. I am a huge David Cassidy fan and have been to several of his concerts over the past years. And while I always enjoyed hearing him sing old songs like "Summer Days", I spent most of the time during his performance wondering what happened to "my David", the guy I used to love. Sometimes he is still recognizable in the face of the man standing on stage. For instance if he smiles, which unfortunately is not that often. I've heard the John Lennon story so many times that when he starts telling it again, I just want to shout "shut up and sing". I never did, but others who were at the concerts certainly did. I do not think that David should only play his old songs. But I can't understand why he does not even play his more recent songs or new material. Instead he plays other people's songs like "Crossroads" or "Hush" or has his drummer sing while he plays the drums. Even as a big fan that is something I did not come to hear. And if he has to play other artists songs, then the least he could do is replace them after a while with other songs and not sing them for years and years.<BR/>There is just one thing you are wrong about, Judy - I can guarantee that none of the posters on here is David. You can check out any website with a negative post on David - if anyone dares criticize him, hordes of fans spring to his defense immediately. Actually I am surprised the tone on here is still so civil. Usually if you dare to say anything negative about David, you get a real bashing from his fans. Even if he read the phone book they would scream and if he picked his nose on stage they would still find him wonderful and say "well, that's our David".
