If you are like me, you could listen to James Taylor play a concert every weekend for an eternity. On Thursday the great Carole King joined him in Salt Lake City. It was a great night for music.
Taking the stage around 7:45 PM, these two old friends worked their way through all the classics, and in excellent fashion if I may say so myself. While at 68 Carole's voice has suffered the effects of age, James sounds as good as ever, clear and warm. He had me thinking of women and glasses of beer.
The original backing band from the Troubadour days was present, and they really rocked. The acoustics in the ESA are always questionable, but Thursday night seemed to be on the better end of the spectrum. I think its a combination of the talent present, and the softer, more acoustic setting of the show.
Some highlights of the night include: "Sweet Baby James", "Country Road", and "Up On The Roof". A good time was had by all.
