One of the SWEETEST song singer's in the world today!!!!

Don Grolnick must've really enjoyed doing that piano solo from 6:34 to 7:01. I could tell he was digging it.

The other thing about that 1988 video was the shot of a random woman in the audience misty-eyed, mouthing the words of, I believe, "Fire and Rain." That always got me teary-eyed, realizing how much of a connection this man through his songs has established with vast numbers people having that moment of identification with something at some point in their respective lives.

@utubuser10 Are you sure it wasn't "Shower The People" that got that one woman misty-eyed?

[utubuser10]

@samsticka it was "fire and rain."

I have an aged VHS tape of this concert from 1988 recorded off PBS. Does anyone know if it is avalilable on DVD or video? My tape is getting worn. I love it because the performances/arrangements represent a slightly less "polished" version of the James Taylor institution he has become in some ways. On this he still had his corny but endearing version of "Shower the People" using a reel-to-reel tape deck for backing vocals -- priceless!! Also, he's playing a Yamaha!!

Pure poetry.

Intro to "Everyday": "This is a song that was written...ah, let's see...written by Buddy Holly for Buddy Holly back when Buddy Holly wrote it for himself."

Some James Taylor comedic brilliance to go along with his musical brilliance.
