@@johnthegreek5836 I saw Cat Stevens perform in N.Y.C. at the Winter Garden Theatre. Capacity is less than 1,600 people. I was in the 4th. row center stage. Great place to see him perform.
Yes, this album and Teaser and the Firecat, I played them to death along with James Taylor's Sweet Baby James and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Good times in the 70's.
@@iandowney4630 :) H & M came out in 1971 when I was a Junior in high school. It's a real pleasure these days to be able to see the music uploads here and enjoy the movie all over again.
@@JustMe-vk4fn To this day, Harold and Maude is one of my favorite movies 😂 Just thinking about it makes me smile. Yours was the only post that mentioned it. I think about Cat Stevens whenever I think of the movie, and vice versa. It’s great to have a channel where we can enjoy the songs with a community of music lovers! I can picture the movie theater still…💭🙂
Bought Tea For the Tillerman and Teaser and the Firecat back in the 70's, still enjoying both of them as much today. Full of beautiful songs like this one, Where Do the Children Play, Longer Boats, Father and Son, Rubylove, How Can I Tell You, Morning Has Broken. His 'deep cuts' as wirh many artists are better than the better known songs.
I very much believe that putting this positivity out into the Universe makes a difference. It can change the way individual listeners feel and that has a ripple effect.
I've been a Cat Stevens fan for many years! All of his songs are just amazing. The live version of this song it fantastic! Thanks for reacting to the song!
Saw him with The Walker Brothers and Hendrix in 67 at Bolton Odeon. In 72 I met him backstage theatre Royal London he was a superstar then but still spoke to me brilliant
"Peace Train" always gives me goosebumps! His music has always ministered to me and not at all surprised he became a Holy man! Thanks to his children, he did return to performing. Harri I would love for you to review "Moon Shadow" if you haven't already. Cat never wrote a bad song IMPO. Thank you Harri, as always, you are on the money. We need a new Peace Train today!
Note: A year or 2 (not sure exactly) before he left his life as a star musician he spent months in a sanatorium ( hospital ). fighting for his life fighting TB . Half the patients didn't survive .... Changed his life goals. But now for quite a few years he is back performing his wonderful music
This song brings back great memories of my teen hippie days! I absolutely wore out this album! What a great choice and reaction. Thanks Harri and Imadrummin 🌺✌️
Harri--you need an update on Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam. He came back to recording music at the urging of his eldest son. Yusuf has since recorded new music, gone on tours, and played with contemporary artists varying from Sheryl Crow to Chris Cornell. He is *out* there. His RUclips account is very active, especially with the world's events now. I strongly recommend you check out his song, "Roadsinger", an autobiographical song from the album of the same name. Peace. ☮️
I love Cat Steven's. I saw him in concert twice. In the second concert, he sang Peace Train before it was released. He only retired for a while. He still performs and has a RUclips channel, too.
He is and has been doing "both". His name Is Yusuf Islam, and has put out several albums in the last ten years and tours regularly as Yusuf/Cat Stevens.
His catalogue of hits is enormous. And, his live concerts are so many to count. Please check out "Sad Lisa" which he performed live in Chile (VinaDelMar Feestival 2015). So emotional
Have always love Cat Steven's music. He is a great singer songwriter with a very unique sounding voice. One of my first albums I ever bought was his "Tea For The Tillerman". The whole album is great. So is the album "Teaser & The Firecat". He has a lot of great songs such as "Matthew & Son", "The First Cut Is The Deepest", "Oh Very Young", "Where Do The Children Play", "Wild World", "Moonshadow", etc. He is still recording & performing live & his voice still sounds great.
Have his three big albums from the early 70’s, love the music and his cover art🎶🎶🎶 Where do the Children Play and Sad Lisa are two of my favorites as well as the more popular songs he wrote🎶🎶🎶
First Cat Stevens album l bought was Buddha and the Chocolate Box which l still enjoy today, Oh Very Young is one of my favourite Cat songs. Another track though which never gets a mention is Sun/C79 a slightly more 'edgy' song which l really love. As with many artists his later albums became a little patchy in quality and l think he began to experiment a little with albums such as Numbers and Foreigner which l still enjoy but for me Tea and Teaser were written at the peak of his career.
We had this album, I can remember when purchasing, I was 15 years old and it was a huge hit, t he whole album, not only in the UK, but here in Germany too. When partying, we the guys wanted listen to Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin or Santana, but the girls wanted to hear Leonard Cohen and most of all Cat Stevens !!! long ago, really.
I loved this on as a child and still do today. I only wish that we all could have moved in the Peace Train direction over these last 52 years instead of the false-news internet hatred that we have to deal with. If you haven't checked out Wild World, Moonshadow, or Morning Has Broken, they are all awesome Cat Stevens' hits as well.
Back when this came out in the very early 70’s things were no where near as awful as they are now. I just hope our country survives. I remember when this came out. I was 11.
Like many others here, Teaser and the Firecat, as well as Tea for the Tillerman, are two of my favorite albums. His voice always cut right through me, and the messages were so full of hope and soulfulness. Thanks to Imadrummin, and anything more from either of these two albums would be wonderful. Cat also wrote "The First Cut is the Deepest." There were several covers done, including Rod Stewart 10 years later in 1977. I think some 1967 Cat would be spectacular.
Those two albums you mentioned are indeed wonderful and are two of my favourite albums in my collection of vinyl largely from the wonderful 70's. He also Wrote Here Comes My Baby which was a big hit for The Tremeloes which l believe reached number 4 in UK charts.
Backing vocals are special too. All great songsters in their own right. Cat/Yusuf had a talent as singer/songwriter that was not fully explored, but what we we were able to enjoy left a lasting impression growing up. Morning has Broken is another "Boomer" song
Simply a fantastic soul. From early to mid 70's I don't think a day went by when I wasn't playing some of his music. I was inspired to eventually hitchhike to Nepal after hearing his rendition of "Kathmandu"
Why can’t we all jump on the Peace Train and live in Bliss? Love you always, Cat. Thanks for sharing this, Harri. I haven’t heard it in a long time. Made me weep with memories of when I first heard this in the turmoil of the ‘70’s and the song’s passionate optimism.
Cat Stevens is still out there performing. Back in the late '60s my band recorded in Criteria Studios in North Miami and he was recording in the studio next to us.
IMO, this is one of the greatest songs ever produced, one that is even more relevant now than when it was released; and yet, it seems like we are farther away from Cat's vision of peace than ever before. I hope that we wake up and let love guide the way forward. Our divisions are tearing the human race apart. ❤✌
He has many great songs, but I would like to suggest the song "Home" off his Numbers album. It is a beautiful song and the background singers sound like angels singing. I haven't seen any reactions to it and would love to hear your take on it Harri.
Growing up in some turbulent times in the 60's and 70's, I found this man's music to be very profound for the times. His lyrics and just the sound of his voice had a soothing effect. He always seemed to be a man of high moral character. I found it surprising and a little hard to understand some of his choices in life. I try to keep an open mind and consider all points of view. Though he changed his name, I still think he's one Cool Cat!
Teaser and the Firecat was the very first album I bought with my own money (before that my dad bought me a few records). I was so proud when my father listened with me and told me that he liked it! That was 1972 when I was 16, my first part-time job, first pay cheque. I still love the album, and this is my favourite song. Great reaction, Harri! Thank you!
The Wind is my favorite song. Just over a min long but “ I let my music take me where my heart wants to go” I love it so much and it just hits me in the most beautiful way.
Love Cat Stevens, and this is such an iconic tune, the whole album is great Harri, you should take a listen sometime. Thanks for the memories Harri.👍❤️📀
He definitely one of the best singer songwriters from the 70’s, I stand corrected he’s the greatest songwriters Ever!
Cat Stevens is 1 of the greatest songwriters ever!
Absolutely!
@@seveglider8406 I agree completely, my first album I ever bought was Tea for the Tillerman

If you have not reviewed it yet, listen to Morning Has Broken. Beautiful. Thanks for choosing Peace Train. Fantastic song!
If he didn't cry to this song, he for sure will for Morning has Broken.
He did a great reaction to “Morning has Broken”. ruclips.net/video/eP3B6Q3pfzs/видео.htmlsi=73BsXWPW1RuHtwH1. Enjoy!
@@gl15col Rick Wakeman does the piano work on "Morning...." Just phenomenal.
Fantastic choice. Back in the early seventies everybody had at least one Cat Stevens album.
Yes, this album and Teaser and the Firecat, I played them to death along with James Taylor's Sweet Baby James and Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Good times in the 70's.
I had them an still have them all.
@@jackempson3044 Me too!
Greetings Uncle Phil. Thanks for checking out the reaction. 👍👍👍
Still have them too.
He toured up to last year as Yusuf/Cat Stevens. His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2014 is really worth watching.
Where Do The Children Play? That's the next thing you should listen to by Cat Stevens. 😊
There's a 1971 comedy film called Harold and Maude. It's soundtrack is nothing but songs by Cat Stevens. :) A real treat. Enjoy.
That was such a fantastic movie 😂
I loved the Cat Steven’s songs, too 🎉

My pleasure Cynthia. More Cat Stevens on the way. 👍👍👍

The guitarist is Alun Davies, a long time friend and lead guitarist for Cat. He still accompanies today.

One of my most favorite songs of all time ❤ the mood this song puts me in is an incredible feeling
Love him still! Thank you. 💝💖💚
When he gave up singing I was heartbroken, I still have a few of his albums.
His catalogue of hits is enormous. And, his live concerts are so many to count. Please check out "Sad Lisa" which he performed live in Chile (VinaDelMar Feestival 2015). So emotional
Tea For The Tillerman is a fantastic album! One of my favs
Cat has written and sung some mighty fine songs, but this is my favorite.
This is my 86 year-old mom's favorite album from the 70s.
That’s really wonderful! She’s got great taste in music 😉
Have you reacted to his song "Moonshadow?" If not, I highly recommend it. Beautiful, thought provoking lyrics.
I had all of his albums and played them over and over. Those old songs still make me smile.
Great tune, and yes, the more things change the more they stay the same. But he was a treasure.
He's been back into doing music again for years now
I think in 2011, he was inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame. He performed. His children convinced him to start singing again.
He does still perform his hits on occasion. Still sounds wonderful. Great reaction to a great song/artist!
Cat Stevens! What an artist! So much respect for him and his talent!
My favorite Cat Stevens song
Everything by Cat Stevens is perfection! I’ve been listening to him since the early 70’s.
What a wonderful, hopeful song...much needed these days. Thanks Harri. ❤😊
Amen.
He did come out of retirement and still performs.

Beautiful and rare rhythmic song whit the master Cat Stevens, thanks and peace

Great choice imadrummin,this was on my future list. You da man. 😮
Thank you Daniel. So glad to know we have some similar taste. 😀
Brilliant. This song is one of those that seems to make me tear up... thanks for the reaction.

I love the way his songs build up and seem to roll. He’s awesome! He’s still singing and writing new songs!
He has actually returned in recent years performing again.
I’m still wanting at the train station for this one train. When I was young, I thought we be smarter by now. Still I wait….
He has many great songs, but I would like to suggest the song "Home" off his Numbers album. It is a beautiful song and the background singers sound like angels singing. I haven't seen any reactions to it and would love to hear your take on it Harri.
One of my junior high school favorites.
You could “ get nine records for 5 cents ? back in the day and this was one of them.
I don't get why no one makes music like this anymore. We never hear anything about brotherhood, peace, love, anti-war, etc. etc. etc. . . .
It’s really sad that we don’t. That’s the message I grew up with, too. Now it’s so much “I, Me, Mine”, to borrow from George Harrison.
A good from the 80's is The Indigo Girls "Let It Be Me " ❤😊

Would love to hear you react to Humble Pie, "You are so good for me" off the Smokin album....
Love the Cat! ! Loved your reaction, Harri. Cheers from Boston, USA.
Fave Cat song. Fantastic.
I saw him in Mpls. when I was working there in the mid 70’s.
Great show!
Thanks for getting to this favorite of mine. Great song. Great reaction.

I loved Cat Stevens and was sick when he changed his name and gave up music, it was a sad day in music history...
He's been back into music for years now
@mandarinlearner Yeah but we lost close to 30yrs of his prime.
My Favorite 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yusuf/Cat Stevens did a version of this with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. A worthwhile listen.
