Customer Ratings & Reviews

I saw this performance on public television and wanted a copy for easy listening in the car and at home. It is a great DVD to show during in-home entertaining for baby-boomers.

Very happy with my purchase! Great vocals, great music, fun and nostalgic to listen to!

Excellent music from the recent past. These two are very good together.

I loved finding music that brought back good memories

Absolutely fantastic, just like you were there!!!!

This is not the current (2010) Carol King/James Taylor concert. This combo CD/DVD is from the November 2007 Los Angeles Troubadour concert. But no mind. The magic is there. The music is there. And the love is there. As James Taylor said during the concert, Carol and James are pitching and the intimate Troubadour audience is catching. Backed by guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Russell Kunkel--all stars in their own right--everyone has fun. Even with those oh-so-familar songs, no one phones it in. The high point for me is the point and counter point between King and Taylor on "Up On The Roof." Both artists had hits with this Goffin-King song and both take turns singing verses in their own style. They both eventually join together for the song's climax. The arrangement is brilliant and very cool. The camera work on the DVD is shaky at times and has focus problems. On the upside, the audio is encoded in both Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1 sound is excellent. Plus you have the uncompressed audio on the CD--a generous combination. Nathaniel Kunkel is the recording engineer. I assume that he is related to Russ Kunkel. Peter Asher produced. If you like James Taylor or Carol King--or just want to step back to the 1970s with two classic and classy performers, this CD/DVD is sure not to disappoint.

This DVD / CD is perfect for any music lover. The lyrics have a real story to them, and James Taylor and Carole King sound exactly like they did years ago. All the songs are classics and it is great to see the pair back together again!
