Sold out - not an empty seat . . .
. . . in the Nokia Theater. His voice is as good as ever; he is, though, an old man now, so it was a bit odd to see him rocking his way thru some of the numbers.
The set list was also odd: covers of Curtis Mayfield, Procul Harum, Sam Cooke, the Beatles, and Jimmie Davis, with the last being the most out of place. Not familiar with Jimmie Davis? Well, he was a governor of Louisiana and a noted country and gospel singer / songwriter, and won everlasting fame with You Are My Sunshine.
Well, Cat played a rockin' version, and unconvincingly, to say the least. Then, there were multiple songs off his new album; I expected one or two, but four? All told, a third of the setlist was filled up with songs his parched fans weren't expecting to hear. He could've played Boy With a Moon and Star, or Lady D'Arbanville, or Katmandu, to far better effect.
All told, it was a worthwhile experience, and memorable, but not nearly what I was hoping - and longing - for. Still, when he was on . . .
. . . he was really on.
The guitar solo was played by Alun Davies, the only sideman carried over from his heyday in the '70s. A view . . .
. . . from the distant past.
It's been an all-Omega weekend . . .
. . . for yours truly. Splitting duties: the tank and black Connie . . . . . . with the manual winding R17.8 handling days . . . . . . and Connie . . . . . . nights. The plan for Sunday evening will be catching Cat Stevens first So Cal concert in almost f...
A pretty nice week end, my friend. Wow, Cat Stevens?
It has been a long time I didn't listen to one of his opus... Will play Lady D'Arbanville! Have fun, my friend. Nicolas
Thirty seven encounters . . .
. . . with the Stones, none with the Cat . . . none, that is, until about four hours from now. :-)

No need - I've found . . .
. . . a better video! The first album I ever purchased was Tea for the Tillerman . My love for his music is as deep now as it was then; ever so glad I finally got to see him perform live.
Either this are big watches...
or the bottle is small :) That black Connie deserves stout pairing ;) Yours Damjan
Your sense of proportion is as keen . . .
. . . as my capacity for absorption ;-) . . .
Your vintage watches....
always look great , you have an eye for watches with a "character". Looking at them make me want to go hunt for one, just look at those dials. Absolutely love it. Regards Edward
That's the result . . .
. . . I'm hoping for, Ed; pursuing vintage Omega is the simplest and surest way to participate in the Great Game. A great Manufacture with roots in the 19 th century, a staggeringly immense back catalog, and a reputation for performance sans pareil as wel...
Thank you Art...
I am struggling like a fish without any water. On one hand I was thinking some high end watch and nothing for many years, or a few more collectible ones in shorter period of time on the other. Right now I am desiring a Patek. I hope it lasts.... Cat Steve...
