Rented the Majikat tour video from 1976 that was released from the vault in 2004. Just a joy to watch someone so obviously passionate about his music. I'm playing the Numbers CD now while I write this. This was the album the tour was supporting and it's the last one of his releases I truly enjoyed. The final two records came out while I was in college, where I became the Mad Rocker, and although I still have them, I haven't been moved to revisit. Maybe now I'll dig up the cassette of Izitso.
The DVD featured a conversation with Yusef about his past. It was enlightening, but nothing earth shattering...we all know the history. Wow, Majik of Majiks just played with that killer sax solo from David Sanborn. I'm sorry, but I keep breaking into singing along and not typing. Thank goodness you can't hear it! The disc also featured a couple of BBC live tracks and the original Teaser & the Firecat animation. What a trip down memory lane... My wife couldn't believe I was such a fan. Cat and Elton were two of my very favorites of my early teen years. To this day I still love piano in my rock/pop music, and certainly passion!
