Cat Stevens - Majikat Earth Tour 1976 (2004) DVD9 NTSC Untouched
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Zitat
The general lack of understanding related to his conversion to Islam have almost ousted the fact that Cat Stevens, songwriter immortal classics like "Morning Has Broken" or "Lady D'Arbanville", was once a celebrated superstar. The publication of the intricately designed DVD Majikat calls the charismatic aura of the folk-pop icon of the 60s and 70s impressively back into memory. In the best sound quality you get next to a distinguished filmed and beautifully restored live recording during his last major world tour in 1976, extensive bonus features on offer.

For that time the stage show of Cat Stevens with ten-piece band was very demanding. A specially designed set and synchronized film projections were just as important as sorcery layers and of course fireworks from numerous hits that had accumulated from the success of albums such as Tea For The Tillerman, Mona Bone Jakon or Catch Bull At Four. The excellent camera work captures this a very human moments of capricious decried as perfectionists Englishman, when he gambled on a song on his guitar and begins embarrassed laugh. Also signs the ego problems of introverted Stars which reacts once indignant at the continuing applause from the audience, the announcements to incoherent talk are clearly visible advised or margins undermined such that he twice will present to the audience his band. However, the artistic quality of this stunning live performance does not detract from this. On the contrary: It gives the perfect staging a human touch.
