David Cassidy emotively singing, "Echo Valley" & "Summer Days" ~ Atlantic City, New Jersey Resorts, April 9, 2011.

[@christinefrench5223]

Oh David, this is heartbreaking to watch. So upset, just want to hug you. Can't believe you've gone. You'll always be in my heart.

[@onemajorhottie]

I can listen to him sing this song all day (Echo Valley 26809). There's a softness in his voice that just melts my heart. His heart is breaking and I just want to hug him. I miss and love David. I always will.

He must have been feeling sentimental.... I still love him!!!

[@jillianjames2471]

I have felt the same emotions when I heard a song that brought me back to a better time...I'm sure for David Cassidy this song reminded him of better times in his life...thank you for all the memories David.

[@beatannach]

I think it reminded him of Susan Day....

[@gia-girl]

Jillian James I never thought that he was actually crying out of remembering better days and not thinking of bad times

[@gaysy1st]

@@beatannach Why bother guessing? Apparently, his wife had left him at this point & the tears were for their relationship.

[@lisamariepagliei3945]

@@beatannach I somehow doubt that. He has said be wasn't in love with her. If anyone it's a more serious love affair that went bad.

[@SM_6861]

gaysy1st I was thinking the same think as you. He had gotten the 1st DUI in November and they had separated right about that time. I’m pretty sure it was pretty tumultuous about this point. He may have cheated on her a lot and was unhappy in the marriage but he didn’t like being the one getting abandoned. His mom also got a lot worse with her dementia and Beau moved out. That’s a lot for an alcoholic to handle. This was a turning point for him as it got infinitely rougher for him from here on out. 😢

i have loved this lovely guy for 47 years, he is perfect

[@stewie5of6]

+Jenny Purcell since television is so selective in the states, I guess you didn.t see the recent morning-breakfast show interview from England. Just so sad the way he's ended up. Wont be surprised if he's not here for much longer.

[@58jennypenny]

Yes I did as I live in England. I was disgusted in the questions they were asking him, I left my very strong opinion on the site later, it was removed by tea time, how dare they. He has gone through some bad stuff, didn't need that. No one will change my feelings for this gorgeous man, in my eyes he is it..

[@mabel8179]

I never saw that- who interviewed him? RIP David,

[@TheTopaz60]

I agree with you Jenny he is a complete human being , beauty in human imperfection a warm loving loveable soul . Love him forever no matter.

[@pumpkinjill1620]

He's such a sweetheart! He could barely hold back the tears on both songs. I'll echo those tears and more, just seeing the raw emotion in appreciation for his fans' love. If I could have seen him in concert a thousand times it would never have been enough! I'll love and cherish him and his songs forever. RIP sweet David...

so true - such a great performer - humble & caring & yet sooooooooooo talented.

For me in his own way he is a hero...on many levels, lived with many ups and downs, such a feeling and compassionate genuine human being, not just handsome but also had a depth and quality of character and soul....Personal integrity completely resonates with us all here.

David would look even younger if he would grow his hair longer. He looks fantastic for 63 either way though ! Loved this stuff from the beginning, and still do !

[@gaysy1st]

I agree. I always think it's a mistake to have that slicked back look on any man. It's not flattering. He should have kept it coming forward. More youthful I think.

God bless you, David!!! Those were two of my favorite songs of yours. Recently I've been watching some of The Partridge Family episodes, which is a show I used to like a lot. I don't know why they've rarely brought the show back, Even though I was only twelve when it went off the air, I still remember! It's pretty funny, and I liked it better than the Brady Bunch!

He is upset because the backup band is terrible, and won't take cues from him...though he tries repeatedly during Echo Valley...looking back at them. He is a saint for putting up with that.

Yeah, I heard him say that when he loaned money to friends, he'd say 'I'll GIVE you the money, just don't stop being my friend'. Ultimately people still did just that. Very sad for him.

[@billymac72]

Echo Valley is one of my favorites . Written, incidentally, by Rupert Homes of Pina Colada song fame. I recommend guitar players who are fans of this era learn songs like this - pop music was so well written in the 70s (loaded with Maj7 chords). They’re great tunes to play at parties too. Everyone loves them whether they admit it or not. All you have to do is play it to find out.

[@gia-girl]

Someone said someplace else he may have been upset over him and Sue not being together or having issues.

[@Caroline-xb2lo]

Not likely. By this time, David and Sue were living as roommates, spending months apart. He wanted to divorce her, but said if he did, he would lose everything. IMO, he's crying because Susan Dey wouldn't take his calls--not since his 1994 book. He's thinking of the past and what he lost and what might have been. In 2011, David was sick and didn't feel well, but had to take these gigs because he very much needed the money.

Does anyone here know why he seemed a bit tearful while singing these songs? He did a great job, and connected with his audience the whole time, always the consummate performer, but it seemed like there might have been something going on behind it.

[@VallinSFAS]

...and when you consider that he almost had a breach of contract for refusing to do the "rap" on Echo Valley!

[@Caroline-xb2lo]

The rap he objected to was in the song, "Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted".

[@stewie5of6]

Well I guess he'll be looking for wife number 3 soon!? As things go in America, after the divorce he'll be broke again, maybe this time he'll agree to release some of the Partridge Family back catalogue of unreleased songs. also depends on Sony or who owns the rights I suppose. He's what 63-4 yo now time he started looking after himself (physically and mentally) stop blaming everyone in his past for his failings (and we all have them). When he released the NOW and THEN album it was great , then he went back to is slurry singing. Here in Australia in the 70's he was the biggest thing since sliced bread, then when he came out again in the early 2000's how times had changed . John Farnham as playing at the Rod laver /tennis court in Melbourne, sold out concerts, David was next door in the Bike racing auditorium ( could fire a cannon and it hit anyone) When David released Rock me baby, John Farnham also covered it, that was the same year David was nominated for King of Pop but lost to John Farnham. Even John Bahler when David broke away from the style that made him famous it all stopped for him, the record sales the concert numbers etc. He bent over backwards t destroy Keith Partridge and in doing so destroyed a huge part of his fan base. End of David Cassidy , end of story!

[@obscurelyvague]

One thing that will remain constant though times change, is that there will always be people who build you up to tear you down. Many of David's so called fans are doing that. It was Toni Tenille who said that the same audience who put you in a high place want to see you fail so they can say how you have disappointed them.

[@gaysy1st]

@@obscurelyvague It's called the tall poppy syndrome.

[@gaysy1st]

I tend to agree. I don't think his originals fans were as keen on his more rock style. His look changed too.

[@judycollins5174]

he looks pretty drunk here...suffering terribly as his mom fading fast...poor guy!

[@mabel8179]

He wasn't drunk- he had dementia.

[@onemajorhottie]

judy collins He was not drunk. He was emotional because he was missing Susan. That is what a person look like when they made a bad decision and hurt because of it.

[@onemajorhottie]

NightOwl He said he didn't have Dementia, he lied because he didn't want anyone to know he was drinking again. He was not drunk during this performance however.

[@stewie5of6]

sounds nothing like the Partridge family, boy has he lost it! Even the backing singers are rubbish!

[@58jennypenny]

course he sounds different. he's 40 years older, still gorgeous, still sings powerfull. daft thing to say

[@stewie5of6]

+Jenny Purcell he's rubbish! no wonder his records fall short in sales

[@stewie5of6]

+Jenny Purcell and as for forty years after, well maybe if he gave the pot and the booze a rest maybe he'd get his breathing under control whilst at least trying to sing.

[@58jennypenny]

+stewie5of6 if you bother to watch this vid he is very upset whilst trying to sing, if you don't like it don't watch him just to be nasty. lots of us women still love him.
