I'm just sayin'.

Great minds?

[Lit]

Great minds?

Of course they are! Two of the greatest songwriters of their generation imo.

[Delta]

We were discussing how much we'd have to sell (art work, vehicles, first-born, whatever) to afford a road trip for this.

Chrissa....save me a space on your couch for mid-May until you hear otherwise!

In almost any generation. We saw Carole King a couple of years ago .... amazing. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a NYC show.

CAROLE KING & JAMES TAYLOR

2010 'TROUBADOUR REUNION' WORLD TOUR

TOUR KICKS OFF IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND JAPAN

HOLLYWOOD BOWL, MAY 14 CONCERT ANNOUNCED

NORTH AMERICAN & EUROPEAN DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

presale: purchase "BEST SEATS" tickets at our new Store. click here


Press release:
Nov. 10, 2009 - Iconic musicians Carole King and James Taylor announced today that they will embark on a "Troubadour Reunion" world tour. The world tour will kick off in Melbourne, Australia on March 27 and will travel to New Zealand and Japan before coming to North America and Europe. This once-in-a-lifetime event brings together two of the most beloved singer/songwriters for a rare concert experience. The set list will include a breadth of material including songs they performed during their 1970 debut show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, which helped propel them both to the world stage. Tickets for dates in Australia and New Zealand and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles go on public sale Nov. 23. Tickets for dates in Japan go on sale Dec. 12. Additional dates in North America and Europe will be announced soon.

"When James and I first played together in the early seventies we connected almost immediately, both musically and personally, with an effortless, comfortable familiarity. After we reunited in 2007 with Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel and Lee Sklar, the original band from our early Troubadour shows, none of us wanted the fun to stop. We can't wait to bring our Troubadour Reunion tour to Australia."

The idea for the "Troubadour Reunion" tour came together in 2007 after Taylor and King performed at the famed Los Angeles venue for the first time since 1970 to celebrate the Troubadour's 50th Anniversary. The shows sold out immediately and garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike. The Los Angeles Times noted "the sense of occasion [and] weight of history in the evening" and Variety said "Taylor and King reminded us about the intensity of song, that the artistically-rich and commercially-viable are not mutually exclusive and how one tiny club continues to be a birthing room for some of this city's most memorable music."

Now fans outside of Los Angeles will be able to experience what was created on that magical evening in 2007. Nearly four decades after helping define the singer-songwriter movement, King and Taylor will tour together with their original bandmates guitarist Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lee Sklar, famous in their own right as "The Section".

"This tour, our 'Troubadour Reunion' has been waiting to happen for a long time but the years seem to have vanished. Where does the time go? When we reunited for the Troubadour's 50th Anniversary celebration in 2007, it was, and still is, all about the music and the celebration of performing together."

Carole King performed with James Taylor at the Troubadour in November 1970. This historic show marked King's debut as a solo artist after penning 22 Top 40 hits for artists ranging from Aretha Franklin to the Monkees, while James was supporting his self-titled Apple Records release featuring classics such as "Carolina In My Mind" and "Something In The Way She Moves." Both have since become multi-platinum-selling artists, GRAMMY® winners, and members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

[linza22]

I would LOVE to see this show. Man.....

[swag]

Hmmmm... there seems to be a hole in the schedule late April/early May.

Seems like a really good fit. I'd say it's very likely, except that JT played Fest this year, and they never book out-of-town BNA's twice in a row.

Question is, is JT+CK different enough from JT alone to discount that?

[CEfromLA]

I saw this too!
We are SO there; I love the Hollywood Bowl!
The last time we saw James Taylor there, the minute he started to play, I got so emotional that I started to cry; Bruce looked at me like I was nuts, until he saw the woman on the other side of him was weepy too.....

[ozzie]

Thanks Chrissa, alas too close to Fest for us to spring for airfares, etc. to go see them. Bugger!

Hey you may need to use some flyer points to get to a certain persons 50th in early April,asuming he ever gets home of course.;)
RE Jim and Carol have you noticed who the Aus promoter is?
I do not think it is Frontier unfortunately,as I have some connection there.

[CEfromLA]

PRESALE starts at 10:00AM TODAY!!!

Since they are at the Bowl here, I would guess Bill Silva is the US promoter (I expect to get an email about ticket sales for those of us on a budget). Don't know what his presence is in Australia or if that helps you at all in your quest.

[MormonMatthew]

Chrissa, that is going to be such an amazing concert!!!

I was just listining to Carole King yesterday, and was again reminded how soulful her music is. What an incredible talent.

Of course James Taylor has long been a favorite of mine, and I am always lifted up and inspired by his music; seeing him and CK back together again is something that would certainly worth flying down for...........

Still not a done deal. The Pre Sale was for the boxes .... just a bit out of our price range :eek:. I'll let you know when the real people tickets go on sale ... you are always welcome here!

Tapestry is one of my Top 10 (maybe even Top 5) albums of all times! I think she is the #1 female singer/songwriter of all times.

[MormonMatthew]

It would be great to hang out again!!!

Keep in touch and let me know when the (what passes for) affordable tickets are going on sale.


And you are right on about "Tapestry". It is one of the greatest albums of all time, and has aged like a fine bottle of vino, sounding even better to me now than when I first heard it some 20 odd years ago...............

[festivalgirl]

Gards - here is the TV Ad for the Australian part of the tour. It says "Presented by ...." sounds like Michael Cobble ????? Hope you recognize the name.

[denideadhead]

Saw Carole on the Living Room tour and see JT annually at Tanglewood...they are both still rocking !! THIS WOULD BE A MUST SEE fingers crossed for a Northeast Show !
I have Tapestry and James Taylors greatest hits VOL I on vinyl. cassette and CD and (My parents have em on 8 track tee hee they still have the player Linza if you ever need a replacement maybe I can hook you up LOL !!) Plus almost everything else they have ever individually recorded.

Is that the one named for Rod Laver?

[Gards]

Is that the one named for Rod Laver?

Yes indeed.
Centre court is called Rod Laver Arena these days,and the rest of the year the year it is a half decent large indoor venue.About 12,000 people in end stage mode or 15,000 in the round.
The whole place was originaly all called Flinders Park/AKA National Tennis Centre, and then our idiot premier of the time,changed the name to Melbourne Park,for some reason. Centre court being named after Rod Laver is fine,although the second biggest court has a stupid sponsors name,which has changed from a mobile phone company to computer company,which was a bit controversial as most tennis fans thought it should have been named after Margaret Court the most succesful female Tennis player of all time in terms of Grand Slam titles singles,doubles etc,but she only got the 3rd biggest one named after her,which I used to call Margarets Court in meetings and be told to shut up.
So now you know,rivetting stuff I am sure.;)
I can also tell you who the Green Room is named after,if you realy want to know.

I love that - Margaret's Court is perfect!! The only other Aussue tennis player I can think of on the fly is Yvonne Goolagong ... I used to love to watch her.

Yes, I do want to know who the Green Room is named for (drum roll please) .....

[ozzie]

I loved Yvonne Goolagong. Margaret, not so much... great player to be sure but man she likes to bag other players. Esp. now that she's past it. At least she stayed out of politics.... unlike her brothers.

Now Rod Laver.... they should have renamed the whole State after him!

I don't know much about Margaret ... just had the perfect name. Too many good athletes need to shut up and play or shut up and retire.

By the way, looks like you had a great time at FG/FW!! :)

Green Room story is not very exciting.
It is named after a local John Farnham a MOR act who is a good singer and good guy,and has kept some good friends of mine in work for 20 years.
He held the record for most gigs in one tour at Flinders Park,until this year when Pink sold amazing amounts of tickets in Melbourne and every where else in Australia,from memory 23 shows at Rod laver or something out there.
I dont even know what she sings,but she sold a lot of Merch and to be fair donated a shitload of money to the Bush Fire Appeal

What can you say.
I believe that his correct title is Sir Cliff these days.
Envisaging him performing at an outdoor Winery, brings too many silly thoughts to my tired brain,and I must hit the sack,but if he sings poorly,he had better be aware of .
The Grapes of Wrath.

I saw that they added some dates,there have been hopeful rumours that they will play at Byron because that festival goes from April 1 until April 5.
I also heard on Off The Record this morning that both artists are trying as much as possible to have their bands from back in their prime days with them.

Great news about the bands!!

Great news about the bands!!

Byron is in Northern New South Wales only about 30 minutes or so from the Queensland border.Its beatiful spot where the rolling hills and forests join up withthe ocean.They have been lucky over the years by having a sensible local council,who have kept development low key etc and have attempted to keep the shops local,no Mcdonalds etc,but I noticed this year that some chain stores like KFC are starting to sneak in which is sad.It is about 2 hours drive from Brisbane and the nearest mass of suburbia is up near the border and on the Queensland side with a long stretch of coast that they call the Gold Coast,some parts of which remind you of Miami with high rises and man made canals etc which is not my go.

Byron Bay is truly a beautiful part of the world.

[tcloud]

Hey Fred Carole King was incredible at the Fairgrounds and in a bizzare turn of events had Slash from Guns and Roses come on stage and perform with her.If I recall correctly Boz Skaggs also performrmed that year and played an amazing version of "Somebody Loan Me a Dime".

[darbymom]

Good catch! JB was great last year. Would love to see him again.

[stlbarb]

Seems like a really good fit. I'd say it's very likely, except that JT played Fest this year, and they never book out-of-town BNA's twice in a row.

Question is, is JT+CK different enough from JT alone to discount that?

never say never.
never say always.
never say absolutely certain (unless you can blame it on the beer at a later time if needed).

but i would be (pleasantly) surprised to see JT back at fest in 2010.
would love to see CK with or without him.

Don't even know where to start ........ can't imagine a better show ever.

They were on the stage together the whole time. They joked about needing 6 hours to do the set they really wanted to do ... we were willing to stick it out. Can't think of the song I wanted to hear that they didn't do.

Carole King is the greatest woman song writer on the face of the earth ... no one can even think about being in the same room. Natural Woman (Aretha WHO???) .... wanna hear the song the only way ever - go to the source! She is probably the most under rated, under valued American song writer of her generation. And she still fucking rocks. The last two generations of women have a lot to learn and a long, long way to go. Carole King is a living legend.

James Taylor rose to the occasion ... playing with CK made him even better than ever if that is possible.

After seeing a show like this, I realize how much is lacking in current music.

Sounds like a great show. Glad you guys had a good time. Carole King is on my bucket list.

Chrissa and Steve
So Happy for you to have seen such an amazing show!
They come to Cleveland in July. It's on my to do list....

[Lit]

I would love to see this show. They come near us but I haven't gotten tickets yet.

L.A. Times review was pretty harsh:

I hate douchebag reviews like this. The one line that really bugged me was: "Despite the warm reception by a capacity crowd content to stoke the fires of nostalgia, Thursday’s show offered depressingly little of value to anyone not predetermined to relive good times gone by."

Gee, moron. Why do you think people forked out all that money to see what was widely billed as a REUNION of a show that took place 40 years ago? Was it to hear either of these artists playing their new material? For that matter, why do you think ANYONE forks out cash to see acts such as the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, the Stones and others? It's the same old tired song: some young prick with no affinity or attachment to the artist is sent out to review their show. Yeah, we get it: they're not nearly as important as Metric or The White Stripes. GRRRRRRR.

Indeed. It's like reading a thread on the bored with very different reactions to Fest performances.

Nice set list. The "Blossom" opener alone would have made it worth it for me. I'll be trying to get to one of these performances for sure. Two of my all-time favorites.

AMEN! The show was amazing! When they sang, "You Can Close Your Eyes" as a duet, it was magical!

The review in the LA Times, totally pissed me off. Instead of sending a kid (Really? Mikael?), they should have sent his PARENTS!

I have been madly in love with James Taylor since I was 13, but now I totally have a girl-crush on Carole King! She was the perfect, high energy counterpoint to James Taylor's cool, dry wit.

Chrissa, sorry we didn't manage to meet up. Waited by the tree until 7:05, but with the zillions of people, we must have missed each other....

I am so happy to hear this Chrissa. I agree with you about Carole King. We will see them here in Tampa on June 6th. Can't wait. I am looking forward to hearing all my favorites!!

The L.A. Times is a piece of crap .... it is a typical Tribune rag. [nothing personal Baconwrapped]

I don't know, a 68 year old woman rocking her ass off while 18,000 people sing and dance is far from a schmaltzy wedding. So many people brought their kids - teenagers - so they could see two legends. Didn't see one bored kid in our area.

Do not miss this!!!

[Lit]

Well I think Christy hit it on the head: They sent a boy to do a man's job. IIRC Steve had very good things to say about their show at the Troubadour.

[festivalgirl]

If you read some of his other reviews, this one is not a surprise. Don't think it's an age thing .... he just didn't get it.

Luckily it's a moot point here ....... tonight's show is also sold out.
