James Taylor

[firedupdem]

I have looked at this concert twice today and I have to rewind his performance each time. That was really good and it really had meaning for me.





Jennifer Nettles - She can really sing!! John Legend did a good job but the back up male singer in the band can't be touched!

1. Four Years Ago...

James Taylor was also great at the 'Vote For Change' concert. He said something to the effect, "When deciding on a candidate, he always votes for the smart one."

11. Saw him with the Dixie Chicks then.

Front row! James never settles for mediocre and Sunday was another example. His experience shows. I love his guitar playing even on an electric! (Probably too cold for fine wood out there even though Springsteen had his old wooden beater.)

2. I've seen it three times now. It was great.

But that sleeping toddler stole the show.

6. Jennifer Nettles has been described

as having a ferocious voice - and she sure does.
John Legend was good too but who was the unnamed man standing next to Jennifer Nettles? - he has a terrific voice.

8. Arnold McCuller, one of James Taylors band members

I think so anyway. Hard to tell for sure with his hat on

17. Thanks for posting this. I love that mans voice. He set off an already

beautiful song. I've been all over you tube listening to this song. Once that guy's part starts the tears roll!

his music is timeless!!

12. Some many moons ago Carlos Santana offered praise for James Taylor

at a benefit concert both had agreed to do.

Carlos said to ROLLING STONE's reporter, "James Taylor gives off a vibration."

I can't pick a dozen favorites from Taylor's repertoire. I need a minimum limit of a hundred, at least.

[Vinca]

14. That was my favorite segment of the show.

I imagine a James Taylor CD will be playing in my car for the next couple of weeks.

15. I LOVE JT's Carolina blue and white guitar!!!!

[Odin2005]

16. I was named after him.

My parents are HUGE James Taylor fans and grew up listening to "Fire and Rain" constantly.

[saltpoint]

18. Some seriously excellent parenting going on there...

A household with a lot of James Taylor music seems like a mighty fine place to me.

21. My mom, dad, and step-dad are all very liberal.

Both sides of my family are descended from Minnesota Farmer-Laborites.

[saltpoint]

25. Ah. There's a case of outstanding political genes being passed down

to a new child!

Odin, I bet your household was not only right-on in politics and music, but with a lot of other things, too.

And tomorrow is going to be a damn good day for liberals!

[NoPasaran]

20. Oh, that explains your grudge against Baby Boomers

I totally understand and rescind my "fuck you" comment earlier today on another thread. Please accept my sincere apologies.

[Odin2005]

22. I don't have a "grunge" against Boomers.

It's individual Boomers that act all high and mighty and self-righteous and treat younger people as unworthy that I don't like.

[Beaverhausen]

19. I can't imagine having to play guitar in that cold- his fingers must have been numb

he did great, as always.

Back in the 80s I saw him in Philly at an outdoor arena...I had covered seats.

When the chorus of this song started..."shower the people"...the outside crowd roared. It started to rain right when the chorus started.

It was AMAZING!!!

23. Here's the video of the Taylor/Legend part of the concert

It's evidently not on YouTube yet.
