Merci Paris!

Paris was just lovely! Thank you and merci mes amis. I even had my grandchildren singing along with My People, the mood was enchanting. Jean Roussel joined us for Oh Very Young and Peace Train, that made it even more magical than MajiKat. Yusuf

2. Salam alaykum Akhi! the show was awesome! I was there and this was my best birthday, thank you for choosing this date ... too bad there were no more Muslims in the audience, I saw that Tariq Ramadan was present on the left of the stage with a few brothers but outside not many Muslims who have always not understand that music is ubiquitous in nature and we can not get out of the universe sounds even if it claims to do, this is an illusion and a utopia! it does not matter because he ruled a genuine fraternal atmosphere as you said "brothers and sisters" to all the public! everyone said "i love you" and you said, there are several types of love, so I "love you" but in their own way and God's Love will always love par excellence May God be with you Yusuf SALAM!! Iman Khalid Mustapha and Abdelhak See you soon!

5. Yusuf, You cannot imagine how much this concert meant to me. You showed the photograph of my father and myself during Father and Son and it was one of the most poignant and meaningful moments of my life. That weekend I proposed to my (now) fiancee (also at the concert), following true love. We traveled to Paris from the U.S. just to see the show, on a students' budget, and nothing could have been a more appropriate setting. I feel like everything has been immortalized thanks to your amazing show. You have been my inspiration for years in ways that are almost impossible to explain. I am graduating soon with a degree in peace studies, largely thanks to you, your message, and what you stand for. I hope that you will really consider coming to the U.S. for a few shows so that your fans like us of this new generation can be inspired again. Thank you so much for everything that you do to inspire peace, you touch many lives including ours. Very much hope to meet you one day. Ø³Ù„Ø§Ù… Aaron Shalom

8. this was really a lovely concert ! We want more of this in Paris. Next time hopefully NOT in Bercy, as the place is far too big for this kind of music, and we had seats where it was very difficult to follow the scene (even though we bought 2nd category seats, which were rather expensive) Despite that, my daughter and I just adored it ... !!! why not try the 'Olympia' (I know, it's rather small) or even Zenith, we would enjoy it even more. thanks for your music and beautiful messages !

12. I saw the concert in Liverpool in 2009 and this was just as good if not better. I had waited nearly 40 years for this and never dreamt I would see you once let alone twice. Most of the night I held my head in my hands, in tears and in utter disbelief at what I was witnessing. Don't worry I enjoyed myself greatly and got into every word and note of every song. I have never experienced anything like it and I will never forget this experience.

16. Hello Yusuf, thank you for playing Sad Lisa in Paris. Each time you play another song live from your early work, it's like a gift you are giving millions of people. How beautiful. Will there be a DVD of the European tour, I would love to see this performance clearly. Another nice thing I wanted to share, my little three year old boy said yesterday "Yusuf teaches me". with Thanks, Marion

18. Hi ! Thank you so much for this perfect evening ! I'm too young to have seen you on stage before and I've really waited for this moment. Thank you for your texts and your peaceful message. They're very important in those trouble times. And thank you for your generosity on stage : my husband and I felt like we were in a tiny bar, listening to some friends playing. A really magical moment with you and your musicians ! We all hope to see you back soon in Paris... for your musical, maybe ?! BÃ¢rak allahu fÃ®k

19. To Yusuf: A new spelling for universe: "Youniverse" Today I respell universe and this is how I land: You are a Youniverse, you see, and you should understand; the difference that you make as YOU is ALL that GOD has planned of beauty, Light and living LOVEâ€¦GODâ€™s image is so grand. We sit and waste and wonder why weâ€™ve been so unendowed; we listen to the interference turning into shrouds; we fail to let our Selves be Free to be and say out loud that ALL is ONE and we are here to make creation proud. As we continue on this journey into ALL we are; I pray we will unlock our souls and travel very far. We are so stuck in ALL our ways and this I know quite well; but this we are until such time we get rid of our hell. Itâ€™s yours, you know, your Youniverseâ€¦itâ€™s yours alone to know; yet as you do discover you, remember to let go of ALL the hurt, the pain and grief you hold inside of you, that blocks your view of who you are as ONE in LOVE so TRUE. I wish I could relay to you ALL Truth within this prose. I wish I had a way to tell you ALL how TRUELOVE grows. I hope we can involve our Selves together now and find the best we are as ONE in LOVE in Heart and Soul and Kind

22. How can anyone possibly believe (cha-cha) that you used to be a Spanish dancer (cha-cha) when you can't even teach those blokes (cha-cha) how to do a respectable Zirtaki? (cha-cha) Locking arms is a start, (cha-cha) but ... sigh ... No, I won't drink to that, I won't drink to that -- not even a cup of tea. But I'll definitely smash glasses to removing fig leaves from lyrics!

23. Your music is so powerful! I love your song "Sitting." My life is in transition and it is like a theme song for me right now. I just bought the Road Singer CD. It's wonderful. I hope you will return to the USA, but please come to the Midwest - to Springfield, MO!

28. Yusuf, here is a lovely and true story about my Mom, who had always been a big fan of you: 35 years ago, on 27 May 1976, it was my mom's 14th birthday, in Madrid, you had one of your last concerts. And guess what,if you haven't had an accident with your leg previosly in Barcelona, she would'nt have been able to go your concert, 'cause she had no ticket.But a friend of hers, who was a physiotherapist (what a coincidence!), got a ticket for her! Now, 35 years later, for her 49th birthday, she's going to see you again live in Mannheim-but now I hope your leg is fine :) We are both looking foward to it! All the best, Irene

30. So wonderful to hear that Jean Roussel was with you at this concert, Yusuf. That would have been truly amazing to see live. Its so great that you are playing more and more of your earlier music, again, though I love the later music, too. Your voice is sounding great on all the videos from the tour. Hope the last couple of concerts are just as happy for you, and everyone involved in them. PEACE and LOVE ALWAYSxx

34. Oh my God! I enjoyed it so much!never stopped listening to you all these years. You don't know, but you were my english teacher.... As I knew by heart all your songs, and kept trying to imitate your accent. Yesterday all these teenagers emotions came back just the same. I wish i could have stayed there and listen to your voice all night long; even in my dreams, Iwish I could at last meet you, talk to you

43. Merci to you!!! What a great moment it was indeed! Your music has enchanted all my life: I was born with it - literally, 1966! - and 45 years later I still listen to you with the same immense pleasure, from Here come my baby to My people... I never thought I'd have the chance to listen to you live. And now I did! Some songs like Father & son brought tears to my eyes, not out of nostalgia but out of sheer joy to be there! Thanks again & keep enchanting this world! It needs it!

47. Peace Yusuf; Enchanting is exactly the word I was looking for when trying to describe the lovely mellow and 'loose' way that you sang and delivered my fav. All Kinds of Roses in Paris...the vid I saw enabled me to experience the whole song without an overcome young man,who I didnt know..sobbing into my shoulder when you sang it in Berlin..bless him..hmmm.. Oh by the way ,the non-provocative white robe has suggested you are an Angel or a dove of Peace....for me you are just a bloke in a white robe..well, need to distance myself... lol just saying you are so radiating more and more joy as the tour progressess making me so happy for you!What a road,what a journey ;what a result!!
