      I doubt the younger generations realize how truly lucky they are to see Cat Stevens/Yusuf in the flesh. He is a true legend in our own time and he has been for the past 50 years. So many great artists have come and gone over the years. I remember when Cat Steven's was being boycotted for wanting to follow his heart, and I couldn't bring myself to suffer the sacrifice of giving up his music. I'm happy to see that people have come to their senses and finally accepted Yusuf's life choices. To each their own, I say. In the meantime, I will always be grateful to Yusuf, or Cat, or whoever the man sees himself as for the gift's he has/is given/giving us all in his music.

    Back in jr high and high school my art teachers had his record playing or 8 track playing his music all the time. Was the most rememorable time of my young life. It is wonderful he sounds the same but even better. God Bless him.

    Yusuf / Cat Stevens, these songs are still fresh and relevant after all these years.
    And the man can still "do it".
    The voice and skill are still there.
    The ability to bring those years, back again as if they were just yesterday, truly remarkable,
    timeless and wonderful.
    After Elton, the highlight of this year's Glastonbury.

    He's back! Im an acoustic musician who's played his songs for many years, and that distinct voice and beautiful percussive guitar sound, wow. The sound here is literally exactly what was on the record, and that isn't easy to reproduce well. He's using different old schoolmstyle pickups on the gibson to normal modern acoustics to get that cat stevens sound, and then that voice, and these songs, oh my. Perfection
