Yusuf / Cat Stevens Tickets

I have been a Cat Stevens fan for over 40 years. I was just absolutely in awe of seeing him (again), It was a privilege being in the attic. Just a wonderful evening.

I have been a Cat Stevens fan since 1974; I had posters that I kissed goodnight, and I was going to marry him because that's how 14-year-old dreamed back then. Needless to say, I was excited to see my teenage crush live and in person, and I was NOT disappointed. His voice is so beautiful and pure. The lighthearted, humorous style in his storytelling set just the right tone to weave a beautiful tapestry of his life in music. This was the best concert / show that I've ever seen. I didn't want it to end.

Cat Stevens played a 2 and a half hour show spanning his brilliant songs throughout his career. He was simply outstanding

This show st the beautiful Pantages Theatre was intimate and awesome. Yusuf/Cat Stevens was humorous and engaging. He told some great stories and his voice sounded great.

As a child of the 60's and 70's I had always promised myself that if Cat ever toured again I would try to see him and he didn't disappoint. Many of the oldsters like Stephen Stills have lost a great deal of their voices or want to play a lot of new material that none of us care about, but not Cat Stevens. He focused on all the songs that we grew up with and didn't skip any of his big hits while sounding great. Simply our favorite concert ever.

I had missed a couple of Yusuf"s shows in the past. I was wiped out by his voice, which was as rich as when Stevens had left the industry almost thirty years ago. His natural, warm, storytelling style, graced with such honesty, and tight trio of musicians, created a phenomenal concert.

Cat Stevens sounds as good as he did in the 70's. He played all of his iconic songs and some newer ones. The sound was incredible and the back up band (two musicians) were very talented. The problem with the event was te ridiculous line we had to stand in before we entered the theater. I have seen big events like Wicked at the Pantages with no problems. This was like being in line for the Matterhorn at Disneyland. As a result, we missed Cat's first song, which happened to be one of my favorites. If you are attending a play or concert at the Pantages call the box office and ask them if they intend to make patrons wait in that line. If so, FIND ANOTHER VENUE if you can.

Cat Stevens took us though “His Musical Life” on Thursday night at The Pantages in LA. He used the same method that Garth Brooks did in his Vegas show. Talking and playing the music that “He” grew up with. Most of the same music that “We” grew up with (Since he was born in 1948). He even played a song off Vinyl Beatles album (to show the “Kids” the trouble We had to go through to hear music). He started the show off with some big hits and moved onto his musical start with a song about a Dog that was one of his first song. The crowd was mostly us “Older Folks” – but did include some of our Children (“Where did the Children Play??”) – The show was as “Lay Back” as almost any show I’ve ever seen. Cat made the Pantages into his Living Room – Like he was playing for You and Your Friends. He told the story of his life, which was hit after hit until one day he went swimming at Malibu Beach in California. It was there that his life changed. He was swimming and got pulled out to sea. Not being a great swimmer, Cat thought He was going to Die. He told “God” that “IF” he got out safe, He would change his life. A wave pushed Cat into the shore and Cat’s Life Changed. A “Book” that his brother gave him was to change his life. He talked about the Hate messages he got and felt for this change, but he “Walked” away from the Music and his old life. He was the Head of The Children’s Fund for Years at the U.N. (He did NOT say this at the Concert) --- Years later his son brought a Guitar into his house. Cat picked up the guitar for the first time in years and looked at his son……. The Next Song Was: “If you want to Sing Out, Sing Out…. If you wanna’ be Free, be Free – at Cat was Back!!! Finished with, of course, “Peace Train” Amazing Show!!! Love Da’ Cat!!! Cat Stevens took us though “His Musical Life” on Thursday night at The Pantages in LA.

His voice was amazing. He was a true performer with no down side. I would love to see him again very soon!!! The the woman sitting behind us was very loud and took away from his performance. Also she tried in a very bad way to sing along with him. Very annoying!

A wonderful show that took you back to a time when it seemed dreams could come true. Especially nice to see so many parents there with their children who also grew up with cats music. An amazing evening!

Cat stevens was amazing....I've loved him since age 12 never thought I would get to see him live after his 30 year hiatus...I was not disappointed....hope he doesn't wait another 30, because I would DEFINITELY SEE HIM AGAIN ✌✌✌

We saw him a couple years ago on his last tour, and this was a completely different experience. Very entertaining how he chronicled his life, the good and the bad, in a very humbling and humorous way, without leaving you just begging for the music. And great to watch how his Base/Keyboard player was having more fun than anyone else in the Hall! It didn't hurt sitting front row/center for the first time in my life! I think I'll watch "Harold and Maude" now.

Amazing concert, heard most all of the classic songs woven together in a story of his life, captured all the highs, lows and searching A long time waiting to hear from one of the most talented artists of our time

The only reason I'm not giving this concert 5 stars is the very annoying credit card entry. After a long wait to finally get to the door and swipe the credit card, getting seated was very disorganized. But the concert was just lovely. Cat Stevens told us his life story and sang great songs, mostly his own, but some covers too.

The concert itself was fantastic! Yusuf/Cat's voice sounds exactly as it did as a young Cat Stevens. The stage presentation and the addition of the two other musicians made the show even more enjoyable. He played most every Cat Stevens tune you would want a hear and it was a nice long set. Musically, the show was amazing. On the downside, the tickets situation which created such chaos and incredibly long lines was beyond ridiculous and postponed the show for one half hour. I understand that it was the artist's decision to function the ticket process to avoid scalping. However, he is not running the venue and the Pantages should NEVER agree to this type of arrangement again. In this day and age, you need to put tickets in the hands of the buyer prior to the event, especially with the incredibly high cost of the tickets. Need to find another way to avoid scalping. I love the Pantages, great sound, intimate venue. However, I will NEVER attend another concert with the type of ticket policy used for this event.

Played all the greats and really got more personal with the audience. Was fun to see this side of him. Also had a great guitarist playing with him which made the show and music that much better. Ready to go again!

From the moment Cat Stevens walked on the stage, which was the back of his childhood home, I was back in time with him. Hearing that voice, again, and hearing his story, was amazing. When he plays even one chord on the guitar, chills rush up and down your arms and spine, and then he starts to play and sing, and you melt. There were just as many men as women, yelling, "I love you, Cat!" His story was told through voice and song, and I could have sat there ALL night. During intermission, which played great music, I googled tickets for the next night's show...it was sold out. Thank you, Yusuf/Cat Stevens!

I was wondering how long the line would be and how slowly that it might move due to the ticketless entry. However, it went very smoothly. The set was beautiful but most importantly, his performance was outstanding.

For those of us who grew up listening to Yusuf Cat Stevens it was a bucket list moment! Worth every note he sang since the moment he left us. His voice was crystal clear and he spoke from the heart about his life the past three decades. He sang every song I wanted to hear and a couple that I never heard before. It was a magical night. I should've done the meet and greet!

We enjoyed a phenomenal Cat Stevens/Yusuf 50th anniversary tour concert! What a lovefest! Nearly every song got a standing ovation from the full house. He was very humble and personable and had a good sense of humor and great perspective on life. I saw him in 1974, and this concert was much more satisfying, especially the mostly acoustic approach. Except for a couple of songs at the beginning and end, it was pretty much a chronology of his life and career with comments about the interplay between life events and the music they inspired. His soft voice is still as soulful and infectious as ever, even though he sometimes lets the back-up vocals take the higher harmony lines. Best of all, his message of peace, love, and personal integrity is as strong as ever. Can't wait for more recordings!
