  Jon Reed Goes Off On... James Taylor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Taylor hasn't been recording much (two studio albums in the last 12 years), but he has been touring consistently, and the results are obvious: flawless yet fresh vocal deliveries, creative live arrangements that always stay true to the originals, and a superb supporting cast of musicians and backup vocalists.
James Taylor (Live) is the best make-out album since Clapton's Unplugged - the 30-song double-disc set really sets the mood, and works much better for this purpose than the comparatively brief Greatest Hits collection, which always seemed to end just when things were steaming up.
Taylor's big dilemma is that he can't rock, but at the same time he can't rely on mellowness too heavily without dragging.

 James Taylor: Live at the Beacon Theatre (1998)
Taylor is a pretty laid-back performer; as such, standard music video techniques seem inappropriate for a film of his work.
James Taylor Live At the Beacon Theatre appears in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; since it's fullscreen, the program does not require 16X9 enhancement and none is present.
Taylor's vocals are crisp and clear, as are all of the instruments.

 James Taylor - Live at the Beacon Theater
A theater of this style and size brings a unique intimacy between the performer and the audience and this is evident by Taylor's frequent banter with the audience, and the way he seems to be enjoying himself onstage.
Live At The Beacon Theater showcases 25 song performances that go all the way back to Taylor's early 70's classics, and all the way up to his Grammy Award winning Hourglass album of 1997.
Taylor's vocals have never sounded better, and he had an amazing sounding band backing him on this show.

 Live - James Taylor - Song Listings
The 30-track, two-hour Live, drawn from a tour staged specifically to record it, is an attempt to address those points.
Fronting a typically top-notch band, Taylor ranges across his repertoire, back to 1968 for "Something in the Way She Moves" and "Carolina in My Mind," and up to 1991 for "Copperline," among other songs drawn from New Moon Shine.
Taylor remains sorely in need of a retrospective that would bring his work into concise coherence, but this one at least presents most of his best-known material in effective performances.

 SoundStage! DVD Review - James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theater
Taylor also has a self-deprecating sense of humor and an easy-going manner that perfectly suits his style of music.
Taylor’s vocals and acoustic guitar are superbly recorded, although somewhat overly center-channel oriented.
The real treat is when Taylor plays his acoustic guitar with little or no accompaniment and sings either solo or with a chorus of his back up singers.

 Amazon.com: James Taylor (Live): Music: James Taylor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
I was lucky enough to first see James Taylor live in a small outdoor venue called Avaloch in rural Lenox, Massachusetts in the summer of 1970, after this first album recorded by the Beatles in London had been released and just before the release of the fabulously successful "Sweet Baby James" album by Warner Brothers.
The live version of "Mexico" is quite enhanced by the life atmosphere, and by the time you get to "Fire and Rain", you can sense a flow between the singer and his audience.
Having seen him live some 6 or 7 times now, I can say that the producers and recording engineers of this Live CD have pulled off something of a minor miracle: they have put that energy in a bottle, only now we can enjoy the contents of that bottle over and over again.

James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theatre: On May 30, 1998, James Taylor and his band took the stage at New York's Beacon Theater for an extraordinary concert of greatest hits, personal favorites and live surprises.
So I'll leave James and Natalie alone, but I will comment on the quality of the productions themselves; despite my lack of affection for the featured artists, I should be able to examine the effectiveness of the presentation without any snotty remarks.
James Taylor offers what is probably the second best DVD musical audio I've heard, trailing only the amazing "Roy Orbison: Black and White Night" program.

 James Taylor Live At The Beacon Theatre
Whilst James Taylor is not my usually taste in music, there is no doubt that he is one of the pre-eminent singer/songwriters of the past fifty years and therefore you are guaranteed of quality when he gets up on stage.
Wonderfully clear throughout, the whole show was clearly designed with its live transmission on television in mind, which means that there are far less problems with extreme stage lighting.
This is comprised of a reasonably detailed effort for James Taylor, with short efforts for the members of the band.

These are mostly great songs, about every hit song he ever had and more, and his voice is in fine form.
