My sister and I decided to see David when he came to the Birchmere in Alexandria Virginia and were hugely disappointed. I really do not think David understands why people come to see him. He spends much of the evening talking about himself and taking you down his memory lane, instead of leading you down your memory lane. The show could have started out with him coming on stage and leading a massive sing along of "Come On Get Happy" which the fans would have LOVED, but instead he came onstage and turned it into a jazz version that made no sense. He talked and talked and talked about meeting BB King and "teaching" John Lennon his (John's) songs because they were both "drunk as skunks" on New Years Eve. His show was like, "Look at me people, I'm great!" Don't tell us how Davey Jones' kids call you(!!) Uncle David and then give a fake wiping away of a fake tear at the end of one of "Day Dream Believer". It was a show I believe, of an very insecure man. He referred to himself as an artist, but the truth is that he's a manufactured TV personality who doesn't rightly understand who and what he is to the people that come to see him. I believe he'd be much happier if he came on stage and leads his audience back to 1969 when we were all kids or tinnie boppers with David Cassidy posters who couldn't wait for Friday night, and didn't have a care in the world. Sing the Partridge Family songs. Sing the Monkey's songs. Maybe, dare I say it, sing a Brady Bunch song and let's have fun for a night being a kid again. Sing the feel-good songs of our childhood. Again, he needs to take the audience down their memory lane and not his. He needs to stop implying how great he is and how famous people wrote songs for him. Stop it David. I think if you listen to what I'm writing, you will be much much happier on stage and have a much better time. I highly doubt that anyone who saw you at this show will ever see you again
