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.
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.
Seeing James Taylor
I went and saw you in Buffalo New York area many years ago. Went with my daughter and my daughter's best friend. It was in the early 90's. We had a wonderful time. We would love if you could come in the Phoenix Az area sometime soon.. She is a mom of three and has been a school teacher for 26 years and is devoted to every one of students. Seeing you would be a great gift from me to her. We are not that far from San Diego, Cal. We would have to drive most of a day and have to stay overnight. That is out of what I could spend, being a 78 year old senior. We are long time fan, especially my daughter Stacy. I watched you on Stephen Colbert on his Thursday, 2/06/2026 show. Was that your son who played guitars and sang together, Henry? You were wonderful together. Does he travel with you? An Old Lady Fan!!!
James Taylor Heritage Park in Simponville
The show was phenomenal! Perfect night, full moon, toes in the grass, sitting back with my son enjoying a legend. Truly a magical evening. One I will never forget!
He's still paying it forward!
Best ever. What a moving and joyful soul. Hasn’t slowed down yet.
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!
