Whoops, I placed this photo in the wrong thread earlier. But, I really do love this photo of Yusuf in front of the Capital.

AUGH!!! My two sisters and I were talking about going to this concert, two weeks ago.. We really discussed it.. Even called my other sister up in Alaxandria, Virgina about staying with her... But one thing lead to another, and we decided not to go! WHYYY? Thanks for the wonderful updates and videos.. This is awesome! Could be something good will be coming our way? Nice to see Yusuf on this side of the pond. Ha Ha and Father Quido! How cool. I haven't heard of him in decades.

Nice find, Mike... Yes, 'he should so do this' to quote your post. :)Yusuf up in the DC Mall with Stewert and Cobert. What a hoot that would be.

I am with George & Richina. I love vinyl. It actually took me a while to venture over to CD's when they first came out. I love the whole concept of a vinyl record. The look, the feel, the smell. And even the sound is much warmer to my ears, than a CD. CD's are so anteseptic perfect and I love them for the ease of them. But when I really want to listen to my favorite LP's. That is what I put on. I still have most of my old records. Even the old warped ones. One day I will have to get rid of them, but for now they still sit in a closet. As for my record player, it still works like a charm.
Oh and as for Gemm, that is where I purchased most of my boots. Whats nice about Gemm, you don't have to battle others to purchase an album with the chance of it skyrocketing before your eyes..

Congratulations to Hasanna and Majid on the birth of their brand new bundle of joy. I can just see Yusuf and Fawzia, they have to be tickled blue with their precious new grandson. And to be born on Yusufs birthday. How special is that? Congrats Yusuf on your new grandson. May Muhammad Sulaiman have a very long and happy life.

Hi Chris!! Yes, even hubby had a wonderful time. As you know, he isn't quite the fan I am...but he said after the show..."what a great voice, after all this time!" The lovely part was our seats were straight down the line of where Yusuf looked up to the audience each time...wonderful!! Yes, I bought a Teaser and the Firecat T-shirt (that one I hid, lol) a Wanted bag, programme and mug. Jackie Oh Good, I am glad Garnet was a good sport and had a good time as well. A concert like this should be shared with a loved one. A once in a life time event. And I must say; Wow, it sounds like you made out like a bandit. I am happy you had a terrific time. ;D ;D

Oh Jackie, and Paulo, I am so happy to hear you had a wonderful time at the Sydney concert. The tour sounds like a dream come true. I have been trying to read up on all of this, but it been a little hard at the moment. What is it with Yusufs concert tours coinciding with havoc cutting loose in my life? I have been quite busy. Today I spent the majority of the day up at the Cleveland Clinic with dear friends. But just reading all about the wonder of these beautiful concerts, seeing the photos, watching the videos, makes me so happy to know that Yusuf still has the charm, wit, and magic of music within his beautiful soul. How fortunate we are to see this generous man still giving his all, to his fans. I wish I could see one of these concert, but am just as happy to hear some of his fans glorious reports of how wonderful the concerts are. Continue to enjoy the concerts and telling us all about the concerts. Some of us are living these concerts through you.. Thanks... Oh and Jackie, I loved your report, I am thrilled that you and Garat had a wonderful time a Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam concert. Did you buy a T-shirt?

Thank you very much for all the great pictures and stuff, however I have a small request: would it be possible not to post oversized pictures on the threads, it messes up the whole layout when you use a lower screen resolution. Signed: the middle-age presbyopic! Glaucus - I have been guilty of that myself. For me, the problem is the photo appears to be one size when I put it on Photobucket and then is giant sized when I post it here. Should we resize it to a certain size before uploading to Photobucket? It's a shame that photobucket doesn't allow different size images to be shared like some of the other albums do. Smugmug and a few others offer 3- 5 different sizes to choose from. Photo bucket places the original size of the image up. So, if you can resize the image to smaller size to accommodate people who use smaller screen resolution that would be great. Jane, if you resize to about a width of 1,000 pixi, that should work for most of the people here.

Thank you Marshall and Lister... It's so nice to see bits and pieces of this once in a life time concert tour. I am so happy that both of you were able to attend. Keep these coming as I really love reading all about the concerts.
Marshall, your photos are amazing. Never seen fan photos come out quite so clear as this. There is usually a head or something to obstruct the view. Thanks again!
Lister, thanks for the opportunity to witness the event through your wonderful videos of the concert!

Thanks for the articles Majid and keeping us at Majicat updated. It looks like the tour will be underway soon, only 6 days away now. I wish I could have been one of the attendees. But to everyone who can attend, have a awesome time at the concert of a lifetime!

Yusuf is new at this. He hasn't given concerts in decades, so he probably wasn't aware of those ebay scalpers at work. At least he is trying to give his fans first chance rather than having to be scalped in the wallet by these professional scalpers. Maybe, as he becomes more accustom to giving concerts, he will become more aware of them as Clapton and Dylan have been at their concerts. But for now; I think he is doing a great job trying to get the tickets out to the fans.

Hello All, I'm an old timer. The Australian tour was advertised before the New Zealand one so I booked for the Sydney concert on the Monday. Then.... the New Zealand one was advertised so I booked for that one too. (I live in NZ) I was so glad it was that way because if the NZ tour was advertised first, there would have been no way that my hubbie would have considered going to the Sydney one as well. ;D I'M GOING TWICE....Yippee. Can't wait. So anyone here going to the Sydney Concert on Monday 21st June or the Auckland NZ concert on 29th June? I'm so excited I feel sick. Linda Fabulous Linda! When I first heard about the downunder concert tour, you were the first person I thought of. I am really happy for you. Have a wonderful time at both concerts!

I'm with you Richina/Helen... I HATE scalpers and refuse to buy anything off of them. No matter how badly I wish to see a person. Makes you sick that they got the tickets instead of the real fans.

I was so sad to hear all of the heartbroken downunder fans unable to obtain tickets to the concerts. I knew it would happen, it happened back in 1972, 74 & 76 as well. But still so sad to read their heart felt, disapointment on Y.I.com. I just hope and pray they lost out to real fans and not to scalpers which I fear will be the case.

Wonderful photograph Khadijah. And how exciting for you, that you were able to meet with him.
Welcome to Majicat... Hopefully someday soon he will revisit the states for you and many others to see him again.

I am really happy to see the articles from New Zealand finally coming out. How thrilled they have to be,noting that Yusuf or Cat has never performed there before. So it will be a first for them!
Dusty Day will you be able to attend either of the concerts in N.Z?

Sorry I haven't bought concert tickets before, could you possibly direct me to this website? I've got to tell my Dad where has to go to buy my tickets. I don't mind paying a surcharge to get good seats. Paulo, I noticed on the Y.I.con site that someone posted they used these two presale websites to buy presale tickets.... Best of luck to you, Paulo. www.showbiz.com.auwww.preferredseating.com.au. And here is the presale site Jackie said she used. greatseats.com.au/myerone
