James Taylor Shower the People Beacon Theatre 1998

[warren3427]

The brother put maximum soul into it--that is some sweet sol music via sweet baby James

[mowbrayandmills]

This is one of the very few songs the reverberate within me.

[dantez32]

talent , ageless talent.

[ileoigg]

masterpiece



[Latvonia]

Black guy's got some serious soul goin' on. Glad to see james is the type of guy that will shed light on beautiful talent such as that. Everyone on that stage has beautiful talent. Perfection.

[boxingfit]

there is not as good a voice as that on the x factor....pure talent...thank god the beatles found him

[warren3427]

No one is sweeter than Sweet Baby James

[warren3427]

Sweet baby James

[Briarboyfl]

THIS is one of JT's best songs, with such an important message. The world really needs to be showered with love.

[warren3427]

is anything better than this?

[gumbend1974]

@warren3427 nope, just honey ............

[warren3427]

Beautifull sentiments--why don't we all sstart now

[deniseluchetti]

estou nas nuvens...q musica

[bruno4258]

Words sometimes to hard to live by, but so needed. Thanks James for the reminder to live by love.

[ViviannaluvsJesus]

hey, he changed guitars.... LOVE

[FlixMaker64]

@TheTruthlsOutNow You are a sick person! Why you have to say such filthy stuff? And why post it on this beautiful piece of music?

[ViviannaluvsJesus]

@TheTruthlsOutNow P.S. you wouldn't know the truth f it smacked you in the face, so go cry to someone else about your homosexual pride and pedophilia love and supporter... Frankly, God hates it and will judge it.

[ViviannaluvsJesus]

@TheTruthlsOutNow Awh, why so sad and bitter?

[jbdmed]

@TheTruthlsOutNow more than 96% of heterosexuals are are not pedophiles the other 4%are people like you hpmophobes

[dencleo]

JT what a star!

[mcjazz35]

Arnold is the man! It's both great singers, in my opinion, sharing the stage, supporting each other, and giving each other the space to contribute their passion and love to the audience. That, to me, is a sign of a great band.

[stevezerbst]

Got this DVD for Christmas back in 2000. I never can get enough of it, especially this particular song. I agree, Arnold definitely can hold his own...pure talent all the way across the board. JT is one of the best when it comes to live albums.

[TheMountaincur]

I LOVE HIM!!! i LOVE THEM!!!!

[tamaraatje77]

i love him

[dianewhitten]

Holy Moley Rock and Rolly. This makes me want to cry and then run outside naked. Stop me. So beautiful. Saw JT with CK in San Jose. What a pair. What a night. This is the background music to my life. Thank you JT

[warren3427]

Sweet baby James!

[pobyd9]

Music is collaboration, not competition.

[Video7898]

Arnold is great but i like the song much better when JT does the part with mostly just singing

[4Jehan]

This song has touched me many times over many years. It always says something different to me. Today has been a difficult day and many things are happening in my life...nothing tragic but all trying...all take courage...and what lifts one up more than love? Thanks so much for every time this song has lifted me up.

[warren3427]

Beautiful song, beautiful man

[politicaljunkie1967]

This song gives my goosebumps, such a feel good tune, enjoy

[YOWZABABY]

Arnold may be doin' some killer back-up...(and he most certainly IS)....but he didn't WRITE that tune! James WROTE and arranged it.....and the lyrics are still SO powerful today! Arnold should feel honored to be singing back up with one of the most talented songwriters in history. And from the looks of this video, he appears very humbled and appreciative to be doing so. What an amazing performance this is.....

[schuis86]

just two words: AWE SOME

thank you james for your music...you kinda inspire my whole family...

no sunday breakfast without you:)

[frankietheface1]

We can only hope his music stays alive throughout the ages. Arnold, my hats off to you............I know you enjoyed singing with James. I think, im going to listen again...........Kick it.

[gsoltis29]

Do you realize that James did that becuase he KNEW how much better of a singer he was....James is a songwriter....he loves when people do that....

[jbdmed]

Great blend of talent!

[gumbend1974]

awesome

[rainmaneverson]

You can tell --even the "blueprint"-- James Taylor, the man, was blown away by Arnold McCuller

[scotteinarj]

freakin good :)

[devinewind123]

love you JT,

best JT song!

Arnold Mac, you bring it,

[Batso17x]

Last night I had this dream that I was watching James Taylor make Pecan Pies. Wh..wha..what you say? That was not a dream at all? It was just an old guy who could not sleep and went looking for "Shower the People" and found it! WOW! How could I ever be so lucky? Someday I will learn to watch my spelling: And things are just FINE now, thanks to you and your music!

[Batso17x]

What a wonderful find! Thanks so very much for putting my all-time favorite song up so we all can remember that love is why we're here and that it does bring out the best in all of us. And things are just find now, thank you!

[Batso17x]

What a wonderful find! Thanks so very much for putting my all-time favorite song up so we all can remember that love is why we're here and that it does bring out the best in all of us.

[bekindunlimited]

Go to any James Taylor concert ...this guy is simply MAGIC....

[SaltyPenguinAHT]

man steve jordan is the best drummer!

[Drwilliammaclean]

Did you realize that this song speaks of a biblical commad to love your neighbor, as yourself, which is the 2nd greatest commandment Jesus spoke about and the first is to love God wholeheartedly. If we truly practiced what JT speaks about our world would "feel" what each person needs, hearing the words: I LOVE YOU and then of course corresponding actions.

[Drwilliammaclean]

I simply love this song for the message it communicates. Taylor is a Genius.

[gumbend1974]

i really really love this song. we went to see him when toured australia last year.

i always think of people i love when i listen to this magic.my wife,my son and 2 daughters,i will stop,i cant see through the tears......

[kiko0072]

best male pop/folk singer ever!

[Ally72707]

Love this. Joyful music. James Taylor is the best!

[aussiefan448]

CLASS ACT. James, you are one of THE best singer/songwriters ever. I am a forever lover of all things story and music, and have the utmost respect for your gifts! Thank you for sharing them with us all! If I ever get the chance to see you Live, it shall be an extreme pleasure. And Arnold.....well........OUTSTAN­DING!!!!! The smartest people surround themselves with other people that are gifted as well. You clearly have done that! All my best from Minneapolis. (that was a hint by the way.)

[Drwilliammaclean]

I was introduced to James Taylor, when I was working in Taiwan by a Canadian friend of mine. This by far is one of my favorite songs of Taylor. He is unassuming and is quick to give credit to others. The song speaks of giving "love" to others not in drops or dribbles but in showers and how being prideful can stop that flow of kindness toward others.

[amber3358]

He is just perfect..voice, musician and personality, it all comes together when you see him live..he seems quite unassuming but the presence is there. I have seen him once, in Glasgow and have the pleasure of seeing him again this year in July..front row seats..can't wait!

[Armachillo]

This song moves me to the core of my being and when the big black man does his beautiful solo tears run down my face....simply amazing... JT played in A'dam a while ago but I didn't have the money to go.... made me feel very sad and utterly frustrated so I'm happy to have this dvd!

Magic About You

Keep the magic about you

and when its goes say a prayer

after a while it will come right back

It will always boost you up

and never leave you flat on your back

unless you like it there

M.S. Morrison

[albflem]

Love this song.JT is da man.

[deaconwillful]

Not only "Shower the people you LOVE with love, but more importantly those who hate you " because it is easy to love someone who loves you but it is a BLESSING to love those who hate you. Love should be shared from the inside out not the outside in. Love is not Love until you GIVE it away. God Bless James Taylor whose musical gift, vocally and writing, joins hearts together.

[lancegambit]

come on arnold

[rjb5678]

I'm not a religious person by any means, but James brings me to a place with his voice and music (guitar picking particularly) nothing else does, wow if only we could duplicate such souls the world surely would be a better place....seeing him live with Carole King I'll take to my grave with a smile....Thanx JT and KK!

[tishhead]

@rjb5678 amen. i was able to see their show in anaheim and everyone in the audience had the feeling they were experiencing one of those moments that won't come again. between them, they have so many great songs, they could have played all night and nothing would have been "filler."

[patmaher72]

that black guy is a football player for thr Montreal Canadians

[awsevenn]

@mikey10farrell yes his back up singers do sing well..especailly Mr . Arnold Mcculler.

[Stooges1938]

I Love this song so soothing....lol i can sleep all nite.

[schiavolini]

wonderful voice of me McCuller, grandissimo

[TommyThe47]

Doesn't get much better than this! One of the finest songs ever written. Thank you james

[magnetmo]

Artists who are confident and secure enough in their ability, talent, and skill knows how to share the spotlight with others. JT is one of them. It also shows how humble and down-to-earth this guy is.

[bluekrim]

its James Taylor friend Arnold and he's included on the original soundtrack! he didn't out sing James its on the lyrics lol

[deaconwillful]

@bluekrim I can not understand why people always have to place something so beautiful in competition. It is not a competition but a joining together to entertain. Great acknowledgement bluekrim

[mikey10farrell]

Check out the Black guy's vocal about half way through - its worth the wait!!

His name is Arnold Mcculler

[carlabellis]

overtime i see this it really gives me some wonderful emotions. James is so good.

[Voicercise]

It takes a great artist and person to allow someone else to shine like that in your show. JT such a great artist and Arnold sure does shine. "....I get by with a little help from my friends"

[ki8hu]

arnold rocks!!

[GreeneMan4]

James has the most pure voice...simply GREATNESS!

[jamietaylor123]

@GreeneMan4 Thank you!

[pecanpie100]

My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing JT and this band live. JT is so talented. And on this particular song, Arnold really shined. What a great singer Arnold is!! JT deserves such excellent back up singers. I have been a JT fan since the early 70's when the Mud Slide Slim album came out. JT is pure talent.

[jamietaylor123]

@pecanpie100 Thanks pecanpie100!!

[darrylkeith57]

I Love JT but I have to admit; Arnold lit this song up !!!!!!

[helloman1976]

Never bring a backup singer than can out sing you lol. Arnold is the man!

[jamietaylor123]

@helloman1976 I agree, he's much better, keep it down )

[Highland804]

@helloman1976 Agreed...Arnold is the man, and he has a beautiful voice...but James. He's in a class all by himself. :)

[steeleydan65]

@helloman1976 Yeah but he can't write like J.T.

[bazmitch]

@helloman1976 Please crawl back into your hole.

[robertelliottlangs]

@helloman1976 I like the fact James was humble enough to do it and acknowledge this awesome singer Arnold!

[Buddawg1960]

@helloman1976 It just shows what a consummate performer J.T. is- a lesser artist would be afraid of being overshadowed. At the climax of the song, J.T. just turns him loose and lets him go!

[helloman1976]

@Buddawg1960 Agreed HOWEVER, JT has been around since the 70's and isn't at all threatened by talent like a new artist would be although I doubt James would have cared even in the 70's but once again that speaks to his character. I hope his leg heals quickly, we are waiting for him to return to the stage.

[p0g05t1ck]

@helloman1976 they compliment each other so well thought, both fantastic in their own ways. James is probably one of if not my favourite performer of all time
