      You have to remember the man is nearly 80 years old and has been singing for years and years. His voice is gonna change, he slightly weaker and he won't have the lung capacity he once had. I don't care, it's James Taylor and he will always sound amazing to me and I'll cherish every day we have him alive, well and singing.

  • @russellzauner
    @russellzauner 5 років тому +12

    For the complainers:
    Not off pitch at all and sounds like someone was trying to fix a monitor lag in the background. Happens a lot that something gets out of sync or a bit off - that room is super reflective surfaces, too. Makes it a bit hot and squirrely for the sound guy. Doppler-type effects are what's responsible for a lot of perceived pitch andor timing issues on our end (where it sounds fine to the vocalist but doesn't match by the time it reaches the target's perspective), but that wasn't the case here; I think some people mistake an evolved voice for pitchy or weak. Good job keeping it together like a pro - if you pay attention it's like one of every 5 or 10 performances you watch you'll see someone fiddle with or actually take out their IEM and he just basically ignored it and kept adjusting realtime. After you start paying attention to the mechanics of modern live performances those failure modes start to become pretty easy to bust apart and categorize. It doesn't take long and anyone can learn, it's not some privileged domain or exoterica just a few minutes here and there trying to see not just what's going on but how it is happening. Anyhow.
    Can't wait to get a busload of people together and head over to Vegas and see the program. Thanks to Colbert et al for publishing this and sharing it with us.

    This is obviously played live. And it‘s phenomenal. The drummer is dragging. (I put it through a beat recognition system confirming it.) James‘ acoustic guitar isn‘t audible. Yet the whole thing fits together perfectly and you can say it‘s James Taylor blindly - not just because of the unique voice.. What‘s more, it‘s entertaining on a highest level.

    I have to smile myself
    Because I love you, yes, I do
    And when you give me that pretty little pout
    It turns me inside out
    There's something about you, baby
    I don't know
    Isn't it amazing a man like me
    Can feel this way
    Tell me how much longer
    It could grow stronger every day
    Oh, how much longer?
    I thought I was in love a couple of times
    Before with the girl next door
    But that was long before I met you
    Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
    And I thank my lucky stars
    That you are who you are
    And not just another lovely lady
    Sent down to break my heart
    Isn't it amazing a man like me
    Can feel this way
    Tell me how much longer
    It could grow stronger every day
    No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today, whenever I see you smile at me
    No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
    Whenever I see your smiling face my way
    No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today
