    I saw him at Tanglewood last night and when he started playing this one I suddenly (and completely unexpectedly) burst into tears. I think it was a combination of getting through being a nurse during Covid and just how much his music has meant to my very being since I was young. Thank you, JT...

      I guess but for that sad time with addiction when with Carly - how I wish they had worked out. They were my favorite musical couple.

    Been listening to James since I was 12 !! I’m 64, my friends were into Donny Osmond not me. I’ve seen him live like 9 times in 3 states.

    I was in the audience the night of this performance. His "Pull Over" tour is on DVD. This show was recorded entirely live on a single night's show. No stops, no errors, no edits. Flawless musicians and great sound.

    The first time I heard James’ music was as a child on Sesame Street. I had no idea who he was but I loved his performances. I’m now 51 in 2024, and I will always be a fan!

    I'm so glad I got to live through the singer-songwriters of the 70s. James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Jackson Browne- we'll never see their like again.

    Have been a fan since the early 70's. Was so sad your 1 night concert at Fenway (2020) was canceled due to Covid19. I have always wanted to see you in concert and that would have been my time, on my birthday. I understand why it was canceled but still so disappointed. I may never get the chance again due to health problems.

Without even batting an eye, James scolded them by saying “I just luv it when you shout rude things at me”. Then he made the crowd laugh by pretending that he was an old fan in the future, who recalled the great hecklers from all his shows. Haha.
