| | |  | FOLK MUSIC | Home » » Tea for the Tillerman: Live | | | | | | | Description: | | This DVD, coinciding with Yusuf's 60th birthday, features a rare and classic performance from 1971 which captures the warmth of his studio recordings but with even more passion and depth. It also includes the delightfully animated short film by Cat Stevens entitled Teaser And The Firecat, with wacky narration by Spike Milligan. His recording career spanned 12 years from October 1966 to November 1978, and he recorded 11 albums in all, but his most creative and interesting period was probably whilst he was recording Tea For The Tillerman and Teaser And The Firecat during 1970 and 1971. With the hit single Wild World entering the US charts in 1971, Cat Stevens flew to America where this intimate concert, which features the best of his repertoire at the time, was recorded. After all these years, it is good to be reminded of Cat Stevens' original and creative talents and the huge contribution he made to the singer/songwriter genre. | | | Features: | |

An intimate three piece concert with Cat Stevens.Nov 02, 2008
By Joey T. This is an intimate three piece concert with Cat Stevens. He is accompanied by Alun Davies on guitar and vocals and Larry Steele on Bass Guitar and congas. The performance was recorded at KCET Studios in Los Angeles, CA on June 8th 1971. There isn't a lot of footage available to the public of Cat Stevens in his prime. Cat and friends are in excellent form. The video and the sound production are fair to good for 1971. That said, it is recorded in Mono and the run time is 35 min. A special treat for me was getting to hear the third verse for Longer Boats, which is not on the original album version. If you are a fan of Cat Stevens, I think you will be pleased with this DVD. The track listing is as follows; 1. Moonshadow, 2. On The Road To Find Out, 3.Where Do The Children Play?, 4. Wild World, 5. Miles From Nowhere, 6. Longer Boats, 7. Father And Son, 8. Hard Headed Woman, 9. Teaser And The Fire Cat (The animated shot film by Cat Stevens)

A Rare GemMay 10, 2009
By Michael V. Tocci
"Mike"
For years this concert was only available on VHS 9and still very hard to find.) Cat Stevns just after the release of his 4th studio album (1.) Matthew & Son, 2.)New Masters, 3.)Mona Bone Jakon, 4.)Tea For The Tillerman. It features some great songs like "wild World" and "Miles From Nowhere" with Cat playing guitar and piano respectively. A great find at a great price.

AwesomeJun 06, 2011
By A. Luff Appears to be a small studio performance, intimate audience, only Cat Stevens and Alun Davies performing. Sound quality is pretty good for the age of the video recording. Difficult to hear Cat talking between songs, but the vocals in the songs are clear. Song list is AWESOME. Loved the recording, being a longtime Cat Stevens fan.
Tea for the Tillerman LiveFeb 03, 2012
By Leslie L Prorok Yusuf or Cat Stevens he is the greatest ever. I've been listening to him for 35 years and am very excited he's back.

If you can overlook the restMay 05, 2010
By Beantown Jim Cat Stevens is a controversial figure; given the world as it is today, his conversion to Islam and self-identification with some of its political themes is enough for some people to avoid him altogether.
Frankly, I understand and respect those who would choose to not buy "Cat Stevens" music. But, there is no replacement for his folk rock lilting voice and gentle lyrics. Maybe I shouldn't like the album, but I loved the hits and they still register.
