PRESS RELEASE! Eagle Rock kündigen stolz die Veröffentlichung der ersten Cat Stevens DVD an, aufgenommen während der legendären Majikat Tournee durch Nordamerika im Jahre 1976. Ein ehrgeiziges Unternehmen mit involvierten Zauberern, synchronisierten Filmprojektionen und einem riesigen Bühnenaufbau. Es sollte seine letzte Tournee unter dem Namen Cat Stevens werden. Achtzehn Monate später verließ er das Musikbusiness und wurde Yusuf Islam. Nahezu dreißig Jahre lang stand er anschließend auf keiner Bühne mehr. Cat Stevens war einer der charismatischsten und erfolgreichsten Solokünstler der Sechziger und Siebziger. Er verkaufte weltweit mehr als 50 Millionen Tonträger. Die Liste seiner Hitsingles, allein 11 davon in Großbritannien und 12 in den USA, umfasst Stücke wie Moonshadow, Wild World, Another Saturday Night, Lady D’Arbanville und Oh Very Young all diese findet man nun auch auf seiner DVD wieder. Viele seiner Stücke wurden anschließend mit anderen Künstlern noch einmal große Erfolge. Boyzone etwa landete mit Father & Son in den Neunzigern einen riesigen Hit. Cat Stevens - Majikat Earth Tour 1976 DVD DETAILS: 80 Minuten Cat Stevens Konzert (25.Songs) in DTS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound (22.2.1976 in Williamsburg,Mary & Williams College)! Bonusmaterial: Exklusives NEUES dreiteiliges Interview mit Yusuf Islam! Das Originale Promo Video zu Father & Son! Einzigartige Fernsehaufnahmen aus dem Archiv des Jahres 1971! Einen kurzen Film! Eine komplette Diskographie und die Songtexte! Durch den großen Erfolg des Cat Stevens Best Of -Albums und Sheryl Crowes aktueller Coverversion von The First Cut Is The Deepest wird noch einmal deutlich, wie groß sein Einfluss und sein Bekanntheitsgrad auch heute noch sind. Die Erstauflage der Cat Stevens - Majikat, Earth Tour 1976 DVD wird in einem hochwertigen Limited Digipack veröffentlicht und ist mit einer 16seitigen Reproduktion des Original Majikat-Tourneeprogrammheftes ausgestattet!!!! Ein Pflichtkauf nicht nur für Fans von Cat Stevens sondern für jeden Musik-Enthusiasten!

Dave according to the 'Eagle Vision - USA' website, the DVd goes on sale on May 18th in the USA. Click on the Site Menu and go down to Cat Stevens to read the info on the site. I'm pretty sure it will be sold in places such as Best Buys and other stores that sell CD's and DVD's. www.eaglevisionusa.com/home.htm

Unforunately, someone will take advantage and have it on E BAY before it is released! They did it for the Box Set. They did it for ANGEL OF WAR and the NEW Peace Train! And no word was mentioned that the money went to charity! I think it is lousy that some people take advantage like that!
Peace,Vivian

Vivian, while I can't speak to the situation with the eBay "presales" of the Box Set, the only copies of "Peace Train/Angel of War" that I ever saw on eBay (including the one I purchased) were promotional copies, meaning that no income is expected to be directly generated by them.

Well, yes, I remember them saying they were promotional copies, but I didn't know that no income was made from them!

greetings,
I had to go to one of those electronics superstores today for a computer item and while there, I asked a guy in the music section to look up the Majikat Earth Tour DVD. No listing in the database and the guy looked at me like I had been smoking crack.
On the trip back home, while listening to the spectacular new CS cassette tapes that DJ so kindly made for me to replace the one that my car tapedeck ate, I decided to stop at our local independent ecletic music store... you know, the kind where it appears that having at least one piercing is a job requirement and it feels like I have entered a timewarp back to my college days when I enter the store.
I found out that the Majikat DVD will cost $17.99 and that by asking about it, I guaranteed that they will order copies for the May 18th release date. The first one they receive will be reserved for me, however I am under no obligation to take it.
I am passing this along since I'm sure most of you live near one of these independent music stores where they carry every type of music there is and don't act like you are a freak for wanting something non-mainstream. I would rather support these surviving esoteric shops than order from a mass merchandiser. I also get used CS vinyl from this place... sometimes used CD's as well.
Best of all, they actually know who Cat Stevens is, even though they are all 20-something.
peace, kareema

Christine, that promo sure looks exciting, and I really can't wait to RUN AT FULL SPEED into Best buy on May 18, and snatch that DVD!! But first, someone is going to have to convince me that this is REAL, and not just a dream! ;D ;D I literally CAN'T WAIT!! Send some more wigs! I NEED THEM!

It's real Vivian. Just think only 19 more days until it's release! Perhaps I should place a countdown on the home page of Majicat.... Hmmm... I may just do that! I do hope you are paying wholesale prices for your wigs.

I only hope Australia is on the release list!!! ;D Hey Celticat, long time no see... :-) I hope everthing is going well for you. Jackie, go to Amazon.com and preorder your DVD from them. They are only charging $13.99 for it, cheaper than most music/video stores will probably charge for it. Plus you can get in either the PAL (Europe & Australian) or NTSC (USA & Canada) format.

Vivian, just add 24 hours to it and you have the USA count-down. I don't really think we need 2 countdowns on the page.
