- I have been holding on to this since I did this performance with David in 1993. This is the only copy that exists of this performance as the show timed out before we performed. This is a rare glimps into the warm, funny, talented and charming David that I knew. This performance features:
Mat Gurman: Guitar/Vocals/Musical Director
Mark Levang: Keyboards
Billy Hanes: Bass/Vocals
Lynn Colter: Drums/Vocals
This recording was in pretty rough shape and hard to stabilize. As noted, the camera ran out of tape and cartridge was replaced during performance. I edited accordingly to my best ability. I am posting this for the enjoyment of Davids MANY loyal fans on the occasion of his receiving a star on the Las Vegas "Walk of Stars".

He was my sweetheart from 1970 until the sad day he passed. I have his entire catalog. I also have the entire Partridge Family catalog and all 5 seasons of the show on DVD. He never got the recognition and appreciation he deserved for bringing so much happiness and inspiration to fans all over the world. He will forever hold a place in my heart. 💖
Do you own the episode where they get put in Jail for speeding through a southern town?
I can't seem to find that one.
Brought a huge smile to my face. Such a wonderful human being. There will never be another David Cassidy. Love you forever David.❤️❤️💋💋
He absolutely loved his fans and many from the UK would see him everywhere they could. Lovely people too.
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP David 💔 We will never forget someone who gave us so much to remember 👏😢
He had the sweetest smile
Hi how are you doing my friend?
When I saw him I swooned.
It was that David had the sweetest, sexy, smile along with the sexiest , twinkliest eyes and an equally sexy voice. That’s why straight guys can’t take him. He’s was the epitome of charming.
Absolutely
He was gorgeous.
David was born to sing crooner style. He had talent beyond the bubblegum songs
Agreed!
Definitely! I pray he is in Jesus loving arms.
He was a crooner to be sure! But he always wanted to be an actor rather than a singer, didn't he? One of his biggest issues and one which caused a lot of his problems. Miss him so much!
He was an excellent actor as well!
Yes. But those were not in vouge anymore. He needed to rock out after the partridge family. He had the pipes to do that . If that didn't work then he could of went back to mainstream stuff and ecked out a decent living. Although he was broke big time by the end.
Thank you for this treasure. I am watching this at 68 years old and remembering how much of a crush I had on David all those many years ago. He was beautiful inside and out and I believe he never got the praise and credit for his wonderful talent that he should have gotten. I loved his singing and sense of humor and acting abilities. So sad that he is gone too soon.
I'm 68 also seen him n concerts ❤️ him then and forever REST N PEACE
I agree! He was never embraced as a serious artist and his attempts to evolve were never really embraced. He came to terms with that and knew what people wanted from him and he delivered. He was a really wonderful guy to work with.
❤l loved David Cassidy seen him few times 😮
Criminally underrated singer.
I couldn’t agree more! He was also a way a more than amazing actor. Very few people are as naturally gifted but he also put the work in. It saddens me so deeply when some colleague or fan makes a snarky comment about bad behavior. I knew and worked with him before any of that and can tell you he was a classy and compassionate man.
lol some would say overrated.
@@cdick Anyone who says he was overrated doesn't know music and/or needs their ears checked.
@@angelthman1659 He was a good singer. He had an unbelievable career. Was he Elvis Presley? No. His intelligence was that he used his talent to make millions of dollars. He was certainly not underrated
@@cdick David was a way better singer than Elvis. I get it. He was never as huge or iconic, but as far as vocal range, David totally wins. Elvis was a larger than life figure, but vocally limited imo.
Pity this wasn't seen live - Outstanding performance!
I so agree with your comment. He was never given the credit he deserved for being an amazing singer.....thought of as only a ' 'bubble gum' singer. I do believe this performace would have changed the minds of some of those people.
Can't believe this was not shown. Really shows how talented and charming DC was. It was heartbreaking what DC went through health wise and that we lost him so young.
This warmed my heart seeing him smiling and having fun ♡
Me 2 ! :)
Me 3!
That is what I was hoping for : )
@@MatGurman Yes, he really had an amazing kind of sparkle, didn't he. Lots of demons, as we know, but there were times like this where he could give from the heart and perform in a way that was quite beautiful, playful, not taking himself too seriously, with a kind of freedom -- and control -- that was really incredible. I can't say much more technically because I know almost nothing about singing or music, but I'm pretty sure he was great. Thank you so much for making it possible for us to see this.
@@nspector he brought a true kind of....city chic yet casual.cafe. atmosphere....a classic STAR
David absolutely sang this perfect! Charm and finesse, just like his Dad, Jack Cassid! We, your fans miss you, David! You died too young!💔💔😭😭
Hi how are you doing my friend
Now I know why I loved him as a kid. Suave
Hi
David's voice is so spot-on on this live recording, proving just how amazing he was as a vocalist and entertainer. Us fans know just how great he totally was.
Thank you for that comment. You are so right. This is as behind the scenes as it gets, we were just having fun and David’s gift of music and charm just flows effortlessly 💜🎶
@@MatGurman It reminds me of the first time I heard his recording of "If I didn't care" , miles removed from any Partridge Family or rock songs he performed and recorded when he was still in his twenties, displaying just how much control of his voice he had and understanding for the feel of that style of song at such a young age. It is such a crying shame that he isn't more recognized as the great and versatile vocalist he was. "The Higher they climb, the harder they fall" and "Home is where the heart is" are still 2 of my favourite albums of all-time where he shows he can really rock. What a special time it must have been for you to play in his band and to get to know him as a person.
@@CommontaryTouch Oh, wow, I just went and found his "If I Didn't Care." Thank you!
He was more than a fad. He had genuine talent.
His amazing voice
A voice like no other
Best singer ever and such a kind and good man
Hi how are you?
This is just fab, David was so beautiful and that mesmerising voice is so stunning, ❤️❤️❤️
I will always love him , and miss this talented man !!! 🥰👏🏼🤩
Hi how are you doing my friend?
I had a crush on David Cassidy. I was glued to the TV every Friday night just to see him on " The Partridge Family''. He was so handsome! OMG! It really makes me sad to know that he is gone. Gone but never forgotten. David Bruce Cassidy ( April 12, 1950-Novemver 21, 2017) l think l love you David!
I kind of had one for Susan : )
@@MatGurman 🎶you and me both☝🏻😏💞
@@MatGurman do you have any stories of David and Susan at the This is Your Life show?
You and me both!
Love him. Love the way he sings. great entertainer. RIP.Never forget him. !!.🥰😇💯💖👏👏👏😥
David had such a Great voice! He reminds me so much of his Dad, Jack Cassidy! RIP, David!💔💔
It’s true. They both had immutable charm!
He reminds me of Bobby Darin and I'm sure he could have sang his songs extremely well . His infectious smile easily inspires us to smile with him . He was obviously loved and respected by many many people . This video is a true gem , thank you !
He was in a good place during that time and it shows. I see the David I fell in love with as a teenager. And his charm! You could not resist! Of course his amazing voice. Thank you so much for sharing this! I am sharing it on this day as it is his birthday and he sang 'C'mon get happy' which I found really appropriate. That is what started it all. Love you and miss you David. 💞🕊
He enjoyed reinventing that song in different styles. It was a lot of fun to perform also!
David was so adorable and he really did have a lovely voice… so sad how his life turned out.
How a person is treated during their first 6 years directly effects the rest of their lives.
From what I know he was already a singer , although he got more " popular " because of partridge family " he wasn't treated right by fans or record people because he was on partridge family.he became an alcoholic recluse because crazed fans were ready to " attack " when they saw him out and about he couldn't be David Cassidy he had to be David Cassidy/ Keith partridge .
@@lorimiller4301 yes, you are absolutely correct. It’s a psychological fact. Vladimir Lenin made an ominous historical quote about it that is just chilling, something to the effect that those years so fundamentally shape a child’s personality and beliefs that what they are exposed to cant be undone. I think personal work can undue a lot later in life. It take enormous work, self knowledge and desire to transcend one’s past…but even then, the damage it there. Thank you for your very insightful comment!
@@dfangirl72 his father self medicated in the same way. I think that set an example for him. David never got over the event of the fan being crushed. He once told me he did a tremendous amount of personal work but it always bothered him. He was such a sensitive guy that he carried that as guilt. It was not his fault. The fans were hysterical at that concert.
@@MatGurman it's been so long didn't remember the fan was crushed .I know there was an episode of the 70's show wkrp about similar thing happening at concert and how they were all just saddened.they also treated David like he was a tart , I remember the pics of him being very sexualized , I have a relative died in a shocking way the guy never got over it he went through therapy he'd be OK for a while then wake in a sweat screaming !
What can I say that hasn't already been said. David is absolutely charming in this performance. He is so talented and it really shows in this performance. He was the most underrated artist in the history of the music industry!
Yes, a lot of people dismissed him artistically and wanted to keep him in a nostalgia roll. It’s evident here how much power and control he had. His pitch is spot on and he takes chances musically and nails it with bluesy fills while joking around with Katie. That is not easy to do but he does it effortlessly. He had “Big Ears” musically speaking.
@@MatGurman I don't know anything about that but I know he was magical ✨️
My first concert was to see him in Madison square garden
@@lorimiller4301 Matt you would know better than anyone of DCs many many talents! Glad you posted this!!
@@mariadigirolamo123 wow, lucky you!
A million thanks for sharing this true and priceless gem!!!! David was multi-talented and had a golden heart!!!! He takes my breath away every time!!!! I'll never forget him and his legacy and sweet memories will live on in my heart for all eternity!!!!
Hi how are you doing my friend
David hatte den Rhythmus bis in die kleinste Zelle seines Körpers. er war und ist fantastisch. Ich bin süchtig nach seinen Liedern und könnte immer wieder seiner Stimme zuhören. Ich muss nur aufpassen dass ich nicht weltfremd werde und alles andere vergesse. Eigentlich müsste ich bügeln, aufräumen und anderes erledigen. aber jetzt noch zwei Songs oder drei oder fünf. David forever 🍓🍓🍓 he's sweet like a strawberry. tschüss und liebe Grüße an alle seine Fans.
There are so many charming moments captured in this rare footage. David always had the best sense of humor and impeccable timing and delivery - he was always cracking me up on the road. He’s nailing it man, he sounds sooooo good - and this is live baby! The band - beyond fabulous:) Miss him dearly but I will always have the most wonderful memories stored safely in my heart forever ||:💜:||
Beautiful ❤️
🎶💞just remember☝🏻😏🤳
WOW!
You are very lucky to have been with him ❤️
Remi you are very lucky to have those very special memories with David as he seemed a very easy going guy ,with a great sense of humour n brilliantly talented. ❣❣❣❣
What a VOICE!! David Cassidy was such a dad-gum GREAT vocal talent!!
What a talented guy. You're missed, David Cassidy.
He really could sing!
David was definitely my teenage crush! I couldn't wait to watch "The Partridge Family" show each week. I had his photos on my bedroom closet door.
He was and is the Best!! We miss you David so much ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Melted Girls....from 9 to 90....his Whole Damned Life....A True Absolute Talent.!!!
I was six!
If the deceased can hear I love you David as I loved you when I'm was 16 and now I'm in my sixties God bless his soul for all eternity
Lots of Kisses & love XXX
What a smooth voice and was in on the fun - he was easily mocked for singing family pop songs during a time it wasn’t hip but David takes it to a level that even Brian enjoyed the song . Undeniable talent and spirit one sees now how strong a disease chemical dependency is to overshadow David’s spirit. He’s free now and left us wanting more . Thank you David for all you gave because you didn’t have to share your talent .
Clearly he enjoyed these songs. What a million dollar smile he had and a great sense of humor. Thanks for the post.
My first crush 1970😘👍
All the girls wanted him
And the boys to🎶be like him💞☝🏻😏🤳
Shame the way his health went 🙏
@@miamelia1911 alcohol is for losers and Homer Simpson🍺🥴🍻
1970s David was really awesome, but 40-year-old David makes my knees weak! WHOA! 💕
Yes, he really was a beautiful 40 something!
@@karencox8240 Beautiful at every age, IMO. 💜
That really was great! He had it all! Looks, talent, showmanship! He was the golden boy! He lit up where ever he went! Thanks! This was a great clip!
Hi how are you doing my friend
What a beautiful soul he had Rip 🙏
Hi how are you doing my friend
David Cassidy left us too soon.❤️🙏🏻❤️So handsome and talented.Nice person. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I always thought he was a handsome man i watched the Partridge family I had a crush on him and Donny Osmond wow sooo handsome it was sad to hear of his passing loved his songs too his brother Shaun said wonderful things about his brother you can tell he misses him bless him
Hi
Look at all that feathered hair! Magnificent!
He was my teenage crush..so very handsome.
This was really David's kind of music...one of his favorites was BB King. He chose to go the bubblegum/pop route, but his heart was elsewhere. RIP, David ♡
Your comment is spot on. He told me he was very into Jimi Hendrix and he would have loved to have more guitar chops. He would bust into a bluesy riff every once in a while. He was always experimenting with his rig also, working on getting a great rock sound because it was important to him. He had to resolve himself that people wanted the nostalgia. He tried to reinvent through more contemporary music but he knew what people wanted from him. He was very aware of different styles of music and could get into different styles effortlessly. We did a reggae version of I think I love you for the “This is your life” show. It was a great idea and all his. Most fans did not embrace it. Sad. It’s up on RUclips. Smoldering version. He was sick that morning with a sore throat but you would never know it cause he was such a pro.
I had the biggest crush on him!! I had a notebook, folders and lunch box of David Cassidy. His voice was amazing and I miss him 💜🙏🏻. Thank You David for your music and the voice of a angel. RIP We miss you!
Hi how are you doing my friend?
Good one M.Gurman,Obviously D.Cassidy loved performing and was a class act,his voice sounds great,lots of energy from him and his band!
I remember watching The Partridge Family daily in the late 70's. Before that I was a fan of David Cassidy, used to buy Tiger Beat magazines to see him featured and read about him.
David at his best--this was wonderful and refreshing to see! Such a talented and gifted performer full of energy, born to entertain! Brian Williams--what a poor sport. David was such a gifted performer and just rolled with everything--singing, dancing, etc. he was always on. This is beautiful!
He must have been a bit embarrassed being put on the spot. Kind of fun to watch though.
Glad I grew up listening to him
Totally enjoyed and brings back childhood memories of David . RIP David Cassidy . :)
He really did make us happy!
This is so great! David was so very special, a fantastic entertainer, beautiful, funny, with a great sense of humor. Thank you for sharing this gem 🎶💖
I’m glad you appreciated it. It’s my favorite video moment with him and I finally decided this was the moment to share it with his fans. It reveals so much about who he was. It is really special 🎶
@@MatGurman Oh, wow, your favorite video moment with him. Amazing. Can I ask you how long you played with him?
David Cassidy never aired never seen I love this song from David Cassidy it is a beautiful one he was so great and hilarious he will always be missed and I always love his big giant smile I love David Cassidy and the talk with Katie this is a great one of course are David Cassidy ones are great ones please send more when you canl
This is from my private stock from gigs I did with him. Everything else was aired and shared because it was available from other sources. This performance took place after the show finished and was never aired, shared or broadcast. I have saved it for nearly 30 years before sharing publicly.
@@MatGurman well I am so thrilled and very thankful you did share this with us Matt…it will be treasured and enjoyed so much..David’s pure talent and brilliant good humour and charm in bucketloads during this rare footage….WOW…just wonderful..he is truly missed and loved ❤️
Thank you!! Xx
Thank you!
@@MatGurman
Thank you for releasing this video. Enjoyed seeing
this.
This was very generous of you to share. I want to add my thanks as well.
Thank you so much Matt for posting this. Things like this are priceless and its all part of a very big legacy of a legend. Many happy memories for you to treasure. He must never be forgotten. 😊
Beautiful!
I, like many DC fans have pretty much seen every video that exists of this wonderful man. Then, once in awhile, a new gem like this one appears!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing it!
Thanks, for sharing this. always liked David Cassidy.
I’m so glad it has brought joy to so many people! I will post more personal stuff when I can.
Mr. David Cassidy , ladies and gentlemen. 🙏😁❤👏I grew up watching the Partridge Family😁❤.Thanks David, R.I.P.❤
Great voice and I miss him
Adorable my favorite teen idol of all time ⏲ miss him love him had a crush on him since the PartidgeFamily days saw him in a concert and play a legend David Cassidy ❤
David was a rare gem. This is the kind of music he always wanted to play but the Partridge Family people wouldn’t let him. He had to cater to teen heartthrob music they wanted. There’s more videos that has him playing his music. Gone to soon. If I could I would start a campaign against alcohol in some way. Alcohol has taken 5 people from my family starting with my husband who was only 35. The last was my nephew who always told me I was more of a mom to him than his own mom. He was 33. I’m struggling so hard still trying to deal with his passing. It was 6 months ago. There’s not one day that I don’t just breakdown in a flood of tears. He was my baby. I don’t think I’ll get thru this one. It’s too hard. 🦋🦋🦋
oh my goodness, David was the very first guy I ever saw that made me say 'wow, he's gorgeous', that was in 1969, I was 11 that year, he was an actor then, in my eyes he was always that gorgeous guy, just even more so when he started singing.
A beautiful shine of light on a very dark week for me, Thank you Matt for sharing this gem ✨❤️✨
I’m glad it helped!
Rest in peace, can't believe he's gone..
This takes me back. Made me smile thinking of not only my younger days, but how much he loved to perform and bring happiness to people. Oh to go back in time…. If only for a moment. TFS.
David was such a great live performer, what a showman!
RIP David - miss you.
I’m trying not to cry! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi how are you doing my friend
He was truly a beautiful man.........RIP, DBC. You brought so much JOY to millions of young girls.
Thanks ...His voice is at full strength here, thank you from a very devoted fan, this is amazing and unspeakably rare. It's like recieving a gift. Thanks!
I was waiting for the right occasion to share it and the Star on the LV a “Walk of Stars” was the perfect joyous occasion. I will be posting some personal stories in a few weeks. I’m glad you liked it 🎶
Wow, this is amazing, it's snowing outside. Like it's coming from David Bruce Cassidy
Thanks for sharing ❤ I loved the way David was having fun here. I got to see him in concert when I was only seventeen. He was very nice looking and talented.
Ridiculously fantastic David Cassidy!!
I’m sure Katie was melting here!! I know I would be being serenaded by David Cassidy.💕
David was like Charm Bomb that day. It was a natural part of his personality, Jack had it too!
I live in Brazil and I thanks God for being at his shows in Epcot Center. I travelled only to see him. Those were very special moments for me.
Puro charme....David pra sempre!
Thank You Matt for this and extending Davids Legacy of Music and Talent. Absolutely Gorgeous Talented Man ! So Missed ! The irreplaceable David ! Love him ❤️
I was so in love with him as a kid, his posters covered my walls!! ❤️
Hi Karen
Wow what a gem of a video, thank you Mat for sharing this! Me a 13 year old with a mad crush on 21 year old David! Looking handsome of course! I miss him though, 😢 but thank goodness for RUclips videos we can still see and hear him anytime we wish! 🥰
I’m glad I finally shared it : )
This is far and away my favorite piece of film of David. Thank you again, Mat.
What a gem of a performance! Thanks for sharing this, Mat!
Oh the humanity.
David could really sing. I miss him

Sad indeed!
Awesome! I grew-up with the Partridge Family! They were cousins of The Brady Bunch! Too bad that Katie couldn't relax and have some fun.
I miss david
Hi how are you doing my friend
This was magical...thank you. I loved hearing David's laugh at the end, I didn't need to see him to know it was him.......he had a great laugh :)
He was really good
Thank you! This put a smile on my face and took me back to better times.
I’m very glad to know that : )
Thanks so much for sharing this Mat - such a shame it was never aired. You're all on great form, not just David! But he sounded as good as ever and it's a treat to hear any "new" footage of him. RIP David.
Thank you Yvonne!
Love it!!! THANK YOU.!! SO glad to find out his name will be put on the Walk of Stars. Thanks again, and I enjoyed YOUR music as well🤗☺
Unmistakable voice and he was so stunningly beautiful. ❤️
Thank you for uploading this! PRECIOUS …& i don’t think i’d ever seen Brian Williams smile until this!
Sure do miss the way we were.
I love it - thank you for sharing! He was so talented.
Hi how are you doing my friend?
sad that this wasn't able to air, and cool that d.c. still performed despite the "time out".
We were chomping at the bit to play. I’m so glad we did and were able to capture this personal moment.
@@MatGurman says a lot of his character, and consideration for fellow musicians that day. many would have just stormed off.... so cool that you got to play with him! thanks for sharing this, i love it. be well!
Amazing! Thank you!
You can see how Billy (on bass) is just beaming with joy watching David and Katie Dancing and joking with each other. There were no egos there, just love and support from everybody. It’s such a rare opportunity to see something so spontaneous and beautiful happening and have it captured on tape! This warms me every time I watch it.
@@MatGurman Me too. So beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Mat! what a charming, wonderful video. i hope Katie sees it too - i'm sure she would treasure it! love, LOVE it! ❤
This is priceless ! T.Y. so much for sharing !!!
Hi how are you doing my friend

So wonderful! Thank you Mat!!
Hi how are you doing my friend?
