James Taylor:Fillmore East 1971[no label, 1CD]
thanks to bigozine for this review and bootleg
Live at
Fillmore East, New York, January 25, 1971 (early show)
James Taylor, possibly at the height of his popularity, played two shows at the Fillmore East in New York City on January 25, 1971.
While fans have traded and circulated recordings of the second or late show (click here), the first or early show proved more elusive. Recently, a soundboard recording of the early show appeared on the internet and the crisp sound of the acoustic set shows how much Taylor is a toast of the crowd. Apart from classics such as Sweet Baby James and Fire And Rain, Taylor covered Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskagee, Carole King's Up On The Roof, Danny Kortchmar's Machine Gun Kelly and even his own brother Livingston's In My Reply.
As the notes to the show states: "Incomplete show, but this is all that's in circulation so far as I know." What's missing are the songs performed with the band.
