Here is a full-length bootleg Cat Stevens concert from 1974. He was backed by a full band. There are tons of great Cat Stevens concert recordings from 1970 and 1971, both officially released and unofficial. Then there's a pretty obscure official live album from 1974, called "Saturnight." I don't like that one though, because it's far short of a full-length concert, and the song order is mixed up. It was only released in Japan (where the concert took place) until 2024, and still has only a limited release since then. Also in 2024, an official concert album from 1976 was released, called "Majikat." That one is very nice, but there's a lot of years between 1971 and 1976, considering that was the prime of his music career. When it comes to concert bootlegs for him, it's very slim pickings between 1971 and 1976. The best full-length one I could find is this one, from Boston in 1974. It's an audience boot, which is disappointing, but it's a particularly good one. It occurred to me that, thanks to the advances in audio editing technology in recent years, I could bring this up to nearly soundboard level. So that's what I tried to do. I used the MVSEP program to clean up crowd noise during songs, boost the lead vocals that were low in the mix, and so forth. I think it sounds a lot better. It's not as good as the "Majikat" or "Saturnight" official live albums, but it sounds plenty worthy to my ears. This concert took place a month after the release of his 1974 studio album "Buddha and the Chocolate Box." That's one of my favorite albums from him. (I've posted an alternate version of it at this blog that makes it even better.) So naturally he played some songs from that. This also contains an except from his long "Foreigner Suite" called "Sunnyside Road" that makes a nice song when all on its own. One song here, "Sitting" has "[Edit]" in its title. That's because there was a particularly difficult section of the song near the beginning. You can probably hear it. I tried all I could to make that sound better, but I could only do so much. This album is an hour and twenty minutes long. 01 talk (Cat Stevens) 02 Wild World (Cat Stevens) 03 talk (Cat Stevens) 04 Longer Boats (Cat Stevens) 05 Oh Very Young (Cat Stevens) 06 Sitting [Edit] (Cat Stevens) 07 talk (Cat Stevens) 08 Foreigner Suite- Sunnyside Road (Cat Stevens) 09 talk (Cat Stevens) 10 Where Do the Children Play (Cat Stevens) 11 talk (Cat Stevens) 12 Moonshadow (Cat Stevens) 13 How Can I Tell You (Cat Stevens) 14 Bad Penny (Cat Stevens) 15 Later (Cat Stevens) 16 Lady D'Arbanville (Cat Stevens) 17 talk (Cat Stevens) 18 Peace Train (Cat Stevens) 19 Father and Son (Cat Stevens) 20 Music (Cat Stevens) 21 18th Avenue (Cat Stevens) 22 Bitterblue (Cat Stevens) 23 Hard Headed Woman (Cat Stevens) 24 talk (Cat Stevens) 25 King of Trees (Cat Stevens) 26 Sun-C79 (Cat Stevens) 27 Sad Lisa (Cat Stevens) https://pixeldrain.com/u/xok3BGTc alternate: https://bestfile.io/en/HhFTPEOTGuNfSSS/file The cover image is from this exact concert.
