"In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style"

In this quote, Cat Stevens reviews the evolution of concerts and how they have altered in time. He recollects about the past when shows were more intimate and personal, and he wanted to be near the audience. However, as shows grew in appeal, they transferred to larger arenas that made it tough for Stevens to get in touch with his audience in the exact same method. He then describes that this shift in show design did not line up with his own personal style and preferences. This quote highlights the importance of connection and intimacy in live efficiencies and how it can be lost in larger, impersonal venues.
