Movie Reviews of Yusuf's Cafe Session
Movie Review: Cat Stevens, Yusuf Islam
Summary: 5 Stars
As a folksinger in the late sixties and early seventies at houseparties and local clubs, I studied the styles of Dylan, Denver, Lightfoot, Paul Simon, Prine and others, but when I saw Cat Stevens live, I suddenly understood dynamics! Within a 3 minute song, he took me on a rollercoaster ride. What an amazing performer! More than 30 years later,
Yusuf still maintains that great voice, charisma and showmanship, still maintaining the ability to easily relate to his audience. His old songs stand the test of time. Do as I did and learn how to play the songs on Tea for the Tillerman, it will greatly improve your guitar skills or just listen to it for the sheer enjoyment, great songs.....
Movie Review: letting his light shine again
Summary: 5 Stars
it took me awhile to accept his transformation to Yusuf Islam but once i did, i was rewarded. the talent & voice of Cat Stevens is intact. this show was beautifully set & recorded. i like it even better than Majikat and as much as his old KCET concert.
his updates of his classics still retain their original spirit & the new songs stand well next to the classics, not like other classic rockers' new songs which audiences politely bear through in order to hear the hits.
i hope he performs more & i'm glad he has given life back to his music. like it saids in the bible, he has a special light too precious to keep locked away.
Movie Review: I need more
Summary: 5 Stars
I would love to be there in that concert hall and listen to him live. His performance was very good even after many years. Of course he is not like the young Cat Stevens anymore. He is wiser now and has much more to share. We need more people like Mr. Yusuf to spread the message of peace.
The BBC documentary was very interesting. Another must-watch documentary from BBC...
In one of the last videos, he plays guitar on his sofa and sings. He is this kind of super star and I love that!
If you used to like Cat Stevens songs and if you believe in change, I bet you will like Yusuf and his new songs.
Movie Review: children and peace
Summary: 5 Stars
This "session" is a full scale concert in London. The set was designed by Yusef and it is a lovely porch with palms and unique lighting. In Yusef we see Cat Stevens, but mellowed, aged like fine wine. From the first moment I was taken into his world, a world of caring concern for peace and children.
The music is even more touching than before. He is backed by excellent musicians who weave a tapestry for his song lines. He describes his life and his transformation in "A Few Good Songs"--a walk through his childhood streets.
You will play this DVD many times when you need peace and beauty.
Movie Review: Yusuf can fix the world
Summary: 5 Stars
Loaded with great interviews on his life and conversion. Also how he became a key Muslim figure and how he became more respected than most Imams. I believe his thorough knowledge of the teachings can end this worlds wars through his music. A very peacefull man. This new combination of Yusuf and Cat Stevens is very important to the world. Noone can argue with a good song. This DVD is full of them. Plus it doesn't ram religion down our throats. Everyone should believe in something and we should all love one another no matter what we all believe in.
