James Taylor and Carole King are two special spirits who inspire love. It's warming to see them remaining humble in their fame. Their friendship and humor were touching. To bring back all the former members of their band 30+ years later is a testament to their sincerity. Schottenstein Center @ OSU provided a terrific forum for them to connect to their audience. I was crying before they ever sang the first note. Seeing their pictures on the big screens was an unexpected jolt. Within a huge arena, a degree of intimacy and shared energy was created by those larger than life smiles. Sound was crystal clear. CONGRATULATIONS on a dynamic, thrilling concert. Traffic management, graphics, sound quality, the whole experience was better than ever expected. Thank you ALL. I feel like I was part of a lovefest. Sincerely, Roxy, a child of the 70's

Carole King and James Taylor put on I would say the best concert I have seen in many years. Not only was the music fantastic, but Carole and James would go into their story telling about how the song came to be. James with his ballads, and Carole would follow with a song that got Allstate Arena jumping and dancing in the rows. Simply fantastic. I even went looking for tickets for the show at the United Center

This was the best concert I have ever attended. Carole looked like she genuinely appreciated the audience and was so happy to be there. Carole and James together were the best. They compliment each other so well. The whole audience sang along with almost every single song. What a blast from the past. Can't believe these people are over 60. The "kids" these days have nothing on Carole and James. It was GREAT!

Carole King and James Taylor- each a phenomental artist on their own. Imagine what they can do together! This was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They rocked the stadium together! The energy level Carole King showed was unbelievable- playing the piano, belting out my favorite hits, playing the guitar, running around the stage clapping, kicking and dancing----all with heels on, no less. Can you believe she is 68 years old? She is inspirational. James Taylor did not let us down. He played all of his hits in his sweet mellow voice and was the show's commentator. Who would have thought he had such a great, dry sense of humor! The duets they sang were perfect, playing off each other in a sweet, friendship kind of way. I would SO recommend this concert to everyone.

This concert was a culmination of the artists and music that have formed us over the years. The passion with which these people play and sing songs that they have performed hundreds of times is amazing. The bond between Carol, James and the band is obvious.
We left the tickets for this concert in Detroit. Ticketmaster was most accommodating. I will never purchase concert tickets anywhere else! Thank you for not allowing us to miss this unforgetable performance!

My husband and I bought tickets the week before the show and our seats were second row from the ceiling. That didn't matter, however, because Carole and James were absolutely incredible. We both totally LOVED the show. They played the songs we wanted to hear and more!! I was shocked the next day when I read that Carole is 68 years old. I knew her catalog went way back but I just didn't put it all together (what with watching her jumping around the stage, etc). The affinity they expressed for each other was so sweet and charming and all the musicians and singers came together perfectly. I've seen many shows in my 50 years and this was definitely one of the highlights. Thanks so much Carole and James. I hope you do it again and we will be there if you do (and we will bring friends and family twith us!!).

James Taylor was as expected, very good. But! carole King was increadible! She sounded as good if not better than she did in the 70's. It was one of the most enjoyable evenngs I and my wife have spent togather in a long while. I loved the format, no opening act. We did'bt have to sit through something else that we may not have liked, just the persons we came to see. I would strongly recommend to anyone who likes either one to go and you will have one of the best concert experiances you will ever have.

The concert started and I was amazed to see no opening act. James Taylor, Carole King and many of their original entourage started to play and the years slipped away. James Taylor sounds every bit as good as he did 30 years ago, Carole King had some good songs but her voice was strained at times, in between songs I saw her coughing so I am guessing that she was not in peak voice. But it didn't matter, because her energy, huge smile and obvious joy in singing carried her through the show.
With only one half hour break they played from 7:30 until 10:45...a truly amazing feat and a treat for anyone lucky enough to be there.

This event was truly magical. James Taylor hasn't lost a thing and continues his musical performance excellence. Mix in Carole King and let the magic begin. Carol has lost a bit of range to her vocals but overcomes this shortfall with energy and passion. Adding in the original band members made this evening even more special. What a truly talented group of individual musicians! The chemistry between Carole and James was wonderful and make for a lasting memorable concert experience. A must see in 2010!

I had looked forward to this concert with great anticipation...the performances exceeded all that I had hoped.
What I loved the most....both Carole and James appeared to truely enjoy what they were doing. Their connection was amazing and it produced what I call "my favorite concert experience ever".

The combo of Carol King and James Taylor is a blessed elixer. The staging and graphics matched the music and set a delightful atmosphere. The earlier images of the artists of the whole ensemble (singers and musicians) was brilliant. (It set a tone of "remember when" and "gee, we have all grown up together and survived!) The crowd's responses resonated with the excitement and joy of the evening. There was a sincere and appreciative chemistry between the audience and Carol and James - and between the two; in fact, between all the performers. The wonder gift is that the songs of King and Taylor are as relevant for the heart and soul today as they were when written. Those who hear their music and lyrics receive a celebration of the heart.
