  • الحممدلله الذي هدآك الى طريق الإسلآم..:)

    الزبدة الأغنية خقق معا اني مافهمت شي >> وَ تنكسس يآآولد هههههـ

  • Cat Stevens is the best musician/guitarist/song writer of all times!

  • ovation ftw, what a hippy guitar. how he can smile through singing that i have no idea, except i mean he's baked out of his mind.

  • I seen Cat last year

  • @tahoevic I agree 100% We need you CAT..

  • @tahoevic

    He has already wasted his talent for 25 years.Now he is a old fuck..doesn't matter what music he makes now.His voice is shaky and never will be the same and even his songs are nowhere close to what he made.He is a muppet in the hands of religion now.

    

  • @KINGMJ1990 You're right that he wasted his talent. But he's old now, please respect him as a human being.

  • @claireriz03 he didn't waste his talent...in fact he is devoting it to his creator, the creator of all mankind

  • @KINGMJ1990 Well said.

  • This is probably the most stupid comment ever, but apart from the fact that this is an awesome song and Cat Stevens is a great man of peace, I love his hair so much...

  • @NeonlightRebel  excellent comment.

  • @mrezazadeh309

    who the fuck is Bruno Mars? And Owl City? And some of the other? I've never heard about or from them. Did I miss something?

  • @mrezazadeh309 thats  whats beautiful about my generation never be another time like mine kids

  • @mrezazadeh309

    Bon Jovi was the crappy pop music of his day.

  • @mrezazadeh309 Well said, brutha. And if you say 'Justin Bieber' then I've got a few more choice words besides just 'Fuck You'. If the word 'Bieber' is even mentioned under the topic of music, then we're having a different conversation, and the conversation is over.

  • @mrezazadeh309 repost somewhere else fag

  • this is crazy cool...

  • 5 string wooooooooooooot =]

  • J'adoooooore....

  • beautiful lyrics. Great soul, Love u Cat.

  • Wonderful!! I like big!!

  • Great Song! I remember back in 1975 When I got " Teaser and The FireCat "

  • @MrFederico61 Me too... awesome album, I loved the album artwork too.

  • @MrFederico61 you are absolutely right! it is a great song! so much energy and fun! I was a 'Late-Bloomer'-Cat Stevens fan and I never got the opportunity to see Cat in concert live. To all of you Great Fans who saw Cat in concert live: Was 'Tuesday's Dead' a great 'sing-a-long song for the Audience? it seems to have so much pure joy for the performers and the fans!! burketom022

  • great song

  • very nonsensical lyrics, but thats the 70s for you! great song

  • @bennyfifty

    Everyone was high in the 70s man. That's why we were all so happy!

  • Hmmmm...he really doesn't look like a terrorist to me....

  • @DavePerry2012 lol...He isn't he own three schools now :)

  • @DavePerry2012

    Then he wasn't.

  • great song

  • Snapped a string and finished the song like a fucking boss.

  • Esta canción me ayuda a estar alegre!!!!!!!

    

  • 18 people play the exact same game: tryin' to rule the sky!!!

  • You are the soundtrack to my childhood. I have a better relationship with my father because of your music and I am slowly passing on an appreciation to my 8yr old daughter. She can then take Cat Stevens to another generation. Good music is Timeless!

  • this is when people wrote good music

  • Just for the record, Cat Steven's gave money to a Palestinian relief effort because of the mass suffering going on there (seriously look it up, it's terrifying) and the Israeli government freaked out because some of that money may have leaked into hamas.. which is the freaking government of Palestine so it's understandable. Same thing happens when you donate money to an African Relief fund.. most likely if you have you donated to terrorists! that's the only reason he's on a no fly list.

  • Es gibt nur 16 Dummen auf der Welt, die kein Music verstehen...

    =

    There are only 16 idiots in the world who do not understand music

  • He is almost as beautiful as his voice and his voice is almost as beautiful as his message.

  • Speechless!!!! KING OF THE KINGS

  • Got the love the headbaning of the piano man lol

  • I must dance when I hear this song!

  • I love Cat Stevens he has been such a musical influence on my own music! One people one planet!!

  • 17 complete morons

  • anybody know what kind of guitar he´s using?

  • @livinlife245 Ovation.

  • @livinlife245 He's playing a Ovation Roundback, serial #28, early stages of the Ovation line of guitars and personally my most favorite and best sounding acoustic made then and now. Enjoy.

  • does anybody know when his new album is supposed to be released i know i heard he was working on a new album

  • ATTENTION I FOUND PROVE OF THE EXISTENCE OF A VERY VERY RARE CAT STEVENS CLIP OF ''MAYBE YOUR RIGHT'' I POSTED THE EVIDENCE IN A VID: /watch?v=Eq0b1Xazydg

    PLEASE PEOPLE WE NEED THIS! HELP NOW NEEDED!

    EVERY CAT STEVENS FAN HELP NOW!

    GIVE THIS THUMBS UP SO IT GET NOTICED!

    COPY AND PASTE THIS!

  • I am so proud that his roots are from Cyprus-Greek... I am from Cyprus! Too bad he never came back to sing for us :/

  • playing with a broken string and all at 2:36

  • just watch him! He is living the music! With joy and love and with his soul. Watch is face, his smile. There you can't find anything about politics or religions or colours! Because music is without politic and religions and colours - music is for ALL people all over the world!

    Enjoy it and be happy. Thank you!

  • @Zedisch - So well said! Thank you! : ) Peace

  • watching Cat Steven Live videos makes me very sad that I never saw him in concert. The man was outrageously good live, with a voice quality that almost always has studio quality to it.

  • @pjo1226 well said !

    Namaste

  • Frezned sent me :) got to love Cat Stevens!

  • "We must try to shake it down, do our best to break the ground, try and turn the world around one more time!" Yes, we must. Peace to All.

  • I was a teenager when Cat Stevens was big...he was considered a hippie just like the rest of us who didn't fit the mold of the "establishment." =)

  • Amazing.....he even broke a string at 2.39 and still sounded brilliant !!

  • FANTASTICALLY!!!...:)

  • se arranca una cuerda de la guitarra en 2:41

  • You have to understand that at the time he was litterally breaking down, and not for the first time he had already droped out once in the 60s, people at the time said he had a serious drug problem.

    I lived near him and grew up loving his songs and am also Greek Orthodoxas he was. I was dissapointed he felt the need to change his religion, but we all fight our demons in our own way, you should also understand for a Greek to convert to Islam is no small thing.

  • whats with the chick at 1:45?

  • Es gibt nur 16 Dummen auf der Welt, die kein Music verstehen...

  • @AliAjeti Sie irren sich, und es sind 17 Idioten, die nicht verstehen oder kennen gute Musik So dumm sicherlich glauben, dass die regeaton Musik, armen Schweine ist

  • @doubled1961 Ohh sorry :S leider haben Sie recht, der 17te entweder ist er/sie auch dumm, oder er/sie hat falsch geklickt!!!?

  • allah bless him

  • He's back to creating music people. Check out his website. He's basically stating that he understands it was extreme to stop playing.

  • Really great. Cat Stevens at his best - and he was good, really good - at his best - well, maybe the best!

    Too bad Cat Stevens left us - embraced "the religion of peace" - yeah right.

    Cat Stevens is now just another old, dark, hairy Islamic Jihadist Yusf Islam. He should be performing Jihadist hate music in some cave in Afghanisan - Oh, I forgot the Taliban doesn't allow music.

    Oh well, we have this great video/song back when Cat Stevens was one of us. Great!

  • @lastpaganemperor -- One of us? You make me so sad :/

  • This was the Majic Cat Tour in the mid 70s. I was at the concert in Chicago that year

  • Er ist einfach fantastisch....... genial !

  • He is amazing.What passion!

  • Really the quality is amazing..

  • Really , why not actually listen to the words and not hype your own agenda

  • Great clip!!!! Thanks. LOVE this version of the song.

  • @redshirtish Have you ever read a Salman Rushdie novel? Absolute rubbish. Look,you obviously hate the man,what he stands for and what he believes. We should maybe all learn from you, as you must be a true soul of perfection. Love your lovers and love your haters,that's what I think. Set up a blog preaching your own brand of hate elsewhere. Here it's just music appreciation,nothing else.

  • I don't like him as for who he is, but the brilliance of his music is undeniable.

  • @philipisphilip it must be nice to know a celebrity so personally. to like him for his music and not as a person...what an ignorant hypocrite you are. if one merely listens to his lyrics, the vast accumulation of gentle loving feeling that he speaks of in his music, you can't separate the two. he is what he sang about and still sings today. and because he doesn't find his savior in YOUR version of an imaginary friend,..

  • @philipisphilip agree with you he is a great singer songwriter as Cat Stevens but as Yusuf the Islam a bigot and hypocrite

    Yusuf Islam has no right in British society to call for death threats against a man who wrote a book

    it is sickening that Cat Stevens can sing about peace and love yet when the muslims get him he turns to hate others

  • Such a good song. Ah!

  • wether be musical,political or religious the man has to be respected for what he was blessed to do and continue to do so in his life.we all wish we could be cat or marry him all i know is the earth needs more cat stevens and yusuf islams.maybe we should go back to earth

  • wether be musical,political or religious the man has to be respected for what he was blessed to do and continue to do so in his life.we all wish we could be cat or marry him.all i know is the earth needs more cat stevens and yusuf islams.maybe we should go back to earth

  • gfhfgh

  • He was a wonderful person before religion destroyed him.

  • We are blessed to have this man in our presence. Glad he has come back out of his 'retreat' and graces us once again. Beautiful voice, beautiful spirit.

  • He used to be so cute!

  • IF YOU DONT CONFROM YOUR A TERRORIST

    NWO

  • The latest WikiLeaks revelation: 1 in 3 British Muslim students back killing for Islam and 40% want Sharia law so does Yusuf Islam

    muslims are spongers on the western Christian society go to a muslim country we do not want you here

  • @redshirtish a lot of us simply don't want people to be stupid about religion. christians included. i don't care what you believe. i don't care what anyone believes. let' just be respectful shall we? (:

  • Comment removed

  • @yesh0yesh0yesh " let' just be respectful shall we?" then do not make death threats like Yusuf Islam being respectful is recognizing all human beings are free to enjoy life and not be bullied or threatened with death because they criticize a belief system like islam

    believe what you wish but do not make death threats it is illegal anti the humanity knows this Yusuf Islam is a fool and he now shows regret by dropping Islam from his name and not to wear islamic cloths turban read his web page

  • @redshirtish for the life of me, i have no idea what you're saying. please be a troll? i don't think he's made any death threats. but i am talking about you. i desperately want our society to not be called a "christian one." its kind of annoying. i just want people to get along.

  • @yesh0yesh0yesh go live to in Saudia Arabia Pakistan Bangladesh Sudan or Iran they are not Christian countries someone like you would enjoy the life style there and you would be able to do as you do now I prefer Buddhist countries and Thailand is a friendly place

    I want people to get along ....the first thing you learn son is do not threaten other people with death or say that stoning woman is good now go and watch all the video and read all the transcripts of Yusuf Islam's threats

  • @redshirtish i'm sorry, you're just really dumb.

  • @redshirtish hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah­hahahahahahahahahah. what benefits are you talking about? your answer was just some throwing together of ignorant thoughts. also, i will say it again. i don't like islam, or christianity. i just want to live in peace.

    but seriously, to what you just said, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh­ahahahah

  • @chotchcas Right, people who couldn't even fly Cessnas made manuvers with 757s that combat fight pilots say they couldn't do. I got news for you even if you were very,very good at flying Cessnas there no way you fly a 757 without extensive training.

  • I'm surprised to never read how gorgeous this man was. Too bad the beard hid much of his nice face. But those eyes...! :)

  • This song changed my life as a 12 year old. I was gone.

  • he looks like he's having so much fun! :)

  • Cat has such a warmth and glow to him.

    This song always cheers me up :)

  • I must say i find hippies to be rather attractive :$

    I love love love this song

  • Comment removed

  • awesome

  • Yusuf, let me ask you this:

    Can THIS not serve God as well?

  • There are other places to get political! This is Music. He is a Musician.

  • beast

  • Blow up

  • Cool it people and enjoy his wonderful music, and why not, also his sexy moves! ;-)

  • Cat Stevens wanted to burn and kill Salmand Rushdie for writing a book

    how pathetic and hypocritical

    people should heckle him at concerts until he apologises

  • @redshirtish Will u just shut up!!!! Listen to his words, his music, his magic! Have u ever sinned, have u ever done wrong? How would u feel on judgement day! Just stop the Hate!!!

  • @annahrwth242

    the hate came from Car Stevens calling for the burning and killing of Salmand Rushdie for writing a book

    please post my hate if you manage to let us compare this to death threats

    if I listen to the music I here charming rhymes about peace respect and love

    when I listen to the same singer speak I hear hate

    it is my right to post information on muslims who terrerized others today Stevens would be arrested for hate and incitement to murder nazis also called halt die Schnauze

  • @redshirtish such a blatant lie. you think ppl will believe of what you have said. I believe that not every muslims support terrorism. If not, America would already turned into an ash. Out there, there's lot of normal muslims who faihfully following the teachings of islam in the same time against terrorism. Just opened your eyes man. I got many muslims friends and none of them all are terrorist. Such a liar

  • @nagat0yuuki  such a blatant attempt to smear me but it does not stick dude

    I never said every muslim was a terrorist

    post me my post that says that?

    you will not be able to

    and now everone can see that it is you who are the liar and twister

    LET ME STICK TO THE FACTS

    I pose this question to all normal people do you think muslims and Cat Stevens have the right to ask for another man's death for writing a book?

    yes or no

  • @redshirtish I think that people need to actually find out their facts before they go shooting off... only 10% of what was ACTUALLY SAID was aired. The station manipulated what was said for their own agenda.... so if anyone had actually bothered to research or pay attention to what was happening at the time, people wouldnt be having such rediculous dumbass arguments.

    No one has the right to judge another; a person is only capable of judging themselves... that is all.

  • @redshirtish did you log on for a ploitical argument or for the sake of good music? If it was political-go to some other forum to argue. If it was musical-be quiet and enjoy.

  • @redshirtish Did you log on for political debate or musical enjoyment? If it was political-try someplace else,if it was musical-please be quiet and enjoy..

  • @geraldinevallely Yusuf Islam used his fame as Cat Stevens to issue death threats and encourage other muslims to kill Salamand Rushdie.

    If you want to accept that behaviour that is your choice. It is my choice to post next to his music the truth about his hate.

  • @redshirtish This is factually utterly incorrect as even basic research would indicate. Of course, bigots like you have never been big on evidence. Or reading.

  • @geraldinevallely ..you tell it the way it is girl!....some humans just are not!.....its always been 'acta non verba'..and cat or yusaf hasnt changed,hes 'grown'....left the music?...never ever,ever,ever....finally: what goes round ,comes around...zitlight73 what the f***k is that supposed to mean!......duh!...yo Geraldine bless....x

  • @geraldinevallely Death to IRA supporters,and jihadist scum.

  • @geraldinevallely shut up hitler

  • @nagat0yuuki what is the blatant lie? that most terrorists are muslim ? that Cat Stevens if he were Buddhist would never be calling for death. You are confused.

    Cat Stevens is not Yusuf islam

    God is love not Yusuf Islam and the muslim message hate kill those who disagree with muslims

    what has islam ever done?

    even a hippy like Cat Stevens is turned into a hate filled killer by islam

  • its pretty sad when the comments come down to trashing and disrespecting others because they believe dfferently.SAD

  • sexy too

  • @gaydocalex He was way to hot for his own good!!

  • "Now, man may live, man may die searching for the question why.

    But if he tries to rule the sky he must fall."

    my favorite!

  • Oh, its great! I forgot how great. And I've found Freddy Mercury again, too. What a wonderful evening on line.

  • CONFORM OR BE A TERRORIST

  • @8Zeitgeist shut up!!!!!

  • i like how his snapped string is floppin' all over the place and he just doesn't give a damn :D he's in the song!

  • How did music go from 'guys! let's change the world and make it a better place!' to self-obsessed songs about picking up girls? I mean, I know that a lot of music from this period focused on love too, but how often in the modern music setting do you hear songs like this, songs that discuss the hubris of man and how the world can be a better place? It makes me sad.

  • The idea of Cat Stevens being a terrorist is cosmically retarded to say the least. You have to consider that it was under Bush's watch and Yusuf didn't fit their definition of what a Muslim should be. These were the same people that put 4 year olds on the no-fly list.The real terrorists were the Bush administration who kill hundred of thousands of innocent Muslims in Iraq and then lied about why they did. You have to also remember that John Lennon was J. Edgar Hoover's enemy list.

  • @zitlight73 you're a moron !!!! listen to the music !!! and shut your friggin mouth!!!

  • @thudar9 Written like a true dittohead. When confronted with unpleasant truths you resort to name calling instead of intelligent rebuttal. Why would anybody who worships at the altar of Fox News be listening to Cat Stevens to begin with? As an American citizen I don't keep my friggn' mouth shout for anything or anybody let alone fascist bedwetters..

  • @zitlight73 You carry your politics around like bags of garbage - you leave your trash everywhere! even on great music that you don't even bother to listen to. You are a neanderthal.

  • @thudar9 It's called freedom of speech look it up it's in the First Amendment of our constitution, look it up or have your mommy do it for you I've listened to Cat Stevens since the early 70s even bought his albums so when certain idiots falsely accuse him as being a terrorist I'll defend the man. Get used to it buster.

  • @zitlight73 Like I said neanderthal... take your narrow minded garbage some where else and stop trashing the music with you politics.

    You didn't learn anything in the 70's.

  • @thudar9 By the way these is suppose to be an r in your. If you even bothered to read any of my other postings of Cat Stevens' music you would see I'm a huge fan of his music. Why is it that you don't even use one-tenth of your juvenile name calling against those who falsely call him a terrorist. If you don't like a free and open discourse keep listening to Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh or better yet move to North Korea. Otherwise I'm going to right on aposting and you can go to hell.

  • @zitlight73

    the USA and many other countries receive threats daily from muslim terrorists and many times muslims have planted bombs muslims need to address there support for terrorism then they would not be so suspect

    John Lennon was not a muslim and he did not call for the death of Rushdie for writing a book infact he was appauled at Stevens John was a person of integrity Stevens has very little

  • @zitlight73 He took a hard line but he's since relaxed his positions, including his attitude about performing and recording music.

  • @DavePerry2012 Everybody's been mistaken at one time or another and anybody who think they've never been mistaken are the most mistaken of all.

  • @zitlight73 a mistake that Yusuf Islam could correct and apologise for Cat Stevens is not Yusuf islam

    God is love not Yusuf Islam and the muslim message hate kill those who disagree with muslims

    what has islam ever done?

    even a hippy like Cat Stevens is turned into a hate filled killer by islam

  • @zitlight73 First, why is there a political debate on a musical site? That being said, I must correct your ignorance of "facts" that you have convinced yourself of-Bill Clinton, while President, admitted that intelligence had learned of WMD's in Iraq. Why he did not proceed at that time is open to debate between the doves and hawks. "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt." Abraham Lincoln

  • @bamapoppy You have proved your point very well fool. There were no WMD when we invaded. Colin Powell ruined his reputation for lying , remember the holding up the supposedly yellow cake during his speech that doomed him and all those phony photos of mobile weapon labs,etc. Fact fool, Bush Cheney Rumsfield and Rice lied us the US in an un-necessary immoral war or resource acquisition the weapons inspectors agree at the time of the invasion there were no WMDs in Iraq.

  • @zitlight73 John Lennon was more dangerous than Yusuf Islam

  • @zitlight73 The real terrorists were the Bush administration???

  • @lakelandchief No,,,,,,,,,, your mother!!!!!!!!!

  • @zitlight73 he can't be a terorist, hes a Muslim now! <3

  • @zitlight73 hey mr useless infomation,I bet you so well informed,you have to make 'appointments' to have a word with yourself.....so serious,nice to know thers 'folks' like you out there,keeping 'tabs' on the situation....the real terrorists are 'political dicks like you'...just cos you aint moved up to bullets,your thoughts can damage spiritual growth in all you touch...think outside the box or 'ride the peace train'.......bless

  • @partyspecialists, You are a misinformed fool The terrorist thing was cleared up years ago,a case on mistaken identity and your other comment confirms you being a fool! You know nothing about the man or his religion and probably any for that matter.

    Where do get your info,the national inquirer?

  • islam has made him a cleaner and a better man

  • Like a rockin' Jesus :) Nice one!

  • Love how he broke a string and didn't even notice...

  • Never really thought of Cat Stevens as dance music but it impossible to listen to this performance and and sit still. He blew the roof off that joint.

  • I'm so glad that there were video cameras back then because I'm only 27(born in '83) and if they had never recorded it I would not have ever known this moment in time had ever existed. And that would have just been sad.

  • Cat Stevens is a islamic terrorist on a US State Dept Watch List for getting money and supporting Hamas

  • @partyspecialists What the fuck are you talking about faggot, get the fuck of this planet.

  • @Daligang you must be leaving under a rock, he converted to islam many years ago and was coming to the usa few years back when the FBI stopped him from landing in america he's on the state dept watch list for having money connections with hamas which attacks and kills jews in israel, you need to take him and islam and leave the planet then the human race will have peace

  • @partyspecialists Either that or you should take yourself, all the Zionists, Rockefeller s etc and get the fock of this planet

  • @partyspecialists I know you're scared of Muslims because thats whats the government, schools and churches implanted into your mind. But why bring it up here? It's an amazing song, an amazing artist and a real man who believed in peace not just stood up for it. Don't bring your anger here because no one will care.
