James Taylor does not disappoint
His Cincinnati concert was my fourth, the second at an outdoor venue. The weather was unmercifully hot and humid, even by my Charleston SC standards, but nothing could put a damper on an outstanding evening with James Taylor. Our seats were great especially considering we got them only after the original concert had been rescheduled. The visual effects added another dimension to the show. This song list was more varied than the previous concerts but it just helped me appreciate what a range this man has. Plus it really showcased his very talented All Star Band. James Taylor somehow manages to continue to perform in front of huge crowds yet make me feel like we're all just there for a few stories and some great music.
How Sweet He Is
I have see James Taylor in concert more than two dozen times in the last 55 years and every time is the BEST! Saw him last evening with a packed crowd at Riverbend in Cincinnati where the temperature was 90 degrees with equal humidity. It was HOT! That did not stop the over-the-hill, James Taylor lovin' audience from leaping to their feet and applauding James and his All-star band with sincere appreciation for a lifetime of incredible music. What struck me most (we had pretty up close seats & the monitors were great) was the look on JT's face. You could almost read his mind. He appeared to be so darn grateful (maybe even a little surprised) at the the size of the crowd standing up and loving on him with their cheers. He encored with two songs and the first just said it ALL. The world is a crazy, mess-up place right now but he and his band had everyone on their feet singing "Shed a little Light". It could not have been a better choice for a Cincinnati crowd – a crowd from a place where life is just about as NORMAL as you can get. The camera panned a crowd of hard-working, fun-loving, 50-75 year old normal folks that were REALLY happy to be singing along with a song of hope. His son Henry Taylor is now one of his singers and he saved the last song for a duo with him. Again, you could almost read his mind. After a long, amazing career as an entertainer, I get to tour with my son and end each concert singing a duet with him. It doesn't get any better than this! I don't know how much longer this 75 year old music hero can keep this up-- I mean he used to do gymnastics on the stage during Steam Roller and he barely hopped last evening – but I bet he continues as long as he can because he makes it NOT look like work. How Sweet IT IS!! Thank you JT. You are one-of-a-kind.
He’s still paying it forward!
Best ever. What a moving and joyful soul. Hasn’t slowed down yet.
James Taylor in Kansas City
My sister and I went and seen this together last night. We are now 68 and 70 respectively. It was wonderful, his singing and music were amazing as was every member of his band as well. He has a great sense of humor and we all had fun! It felt like and old home gathering of the best of friends. The venue was great in my opinion! The weather was wonderful. I would go again in a New York minute. Don't miss seeing James Taylor! You will not be disappointed, I promise!! Possibly the best concert I have ever attended!
Magical
I was finally able to talk my fiancé into going to the concert after many years of pleading. He finally gave in and was blown away by all the top notch talent in the band as well as James Taylor himself. He asked me why we hadn’t seen James Taylor before. Men. Needless to say, we can’t wait for the next concert. It was one of the best put together performances ever and we’ve seen plenty in our six decades on this planet. Best show ever!
Never Disappoints
JT at the Arts Center was my first concert. I was 16 years old and it was a magical summer night. Here I am 50 years later at the same venue, listening to James again. Equally as mesmerizing. He’s funny, he knows what his fans love to hear, and he truly enjoys what he does. No one can match that beautiful voice. Great night.
