James Taylor - Pull Over (2002)








Amazon review
James Taylor's Live at the Beacon Theatre quickly became the demonstration DVD of choice for many high-end home-theater owners due to its gorgeous picture and pristine sound. It's a treat, then, that Taylor's second concert DVD, Pull Over (recorded in the summer of 2001 on the tour of that name), has those same qualities, with the added benefit of a widescreen picture, though it's not anamorphically enhanced for widescreen TVs. Of course Taylor himself is as reliable as ever, showing no signs of age in his warm voice as he and a great band cover a number of songs from his then-unreleased October Road album as well as such favorites as "Carolina in My Mind," "Fire and Rain," "You've Got a Friend," "Your Smiling Face," "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," and "Sweet Baby James." Pull Over is an outstanding concert DVD, but if it had beenn anamorphically enhanced, it might have laid claim to being one of the best ever. ~ David Horiuchi

Product Description
With a career thriving well into its fourth decade and one of the most beloved catalogs in the world, James Taylor is more than the definitive singer-songwriter. He's an American treasure. His latest project, James Taylor & Band-Pull Over, captures James at the height of his craft. Filmed in the summer of 2001, the 23-song program features James's greatest hits, fan favorites and a look ahead. The DVD features 5.1 mixes done by Grammy winner Frank Filipetti, a complete discography and a 10-minute behind-the-scenes look at the recording of October Road.
When James Taylor picked up the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance trophy at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony in February 2001 (for "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," a track from Michael Brecker's Nearness Of You collection), it was the latest in a string of Grammy wins for the artist going back three decades. Taylor earned his first Grammy (Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male) in 1971 for his recording of Carole King's "You've Got A Friend." After moving to Columbia Records in 1976, Taylor claimed his second Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male Grammy in 1977 for his wry interpretation of Jimmy Jones's "Handy Man." JT, his Columbia Records debut, has since gone on to hit triple platinum. In 1998, his platinum Hourglass album snared Grammys for both "Best Pop Album" and "Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical." His contribution to In Harmony, a Sesame Street album, helped that album win a "Best Recording For Children" Grammy at the 1980 ceremony.
James started writing music in the mid 1960s as a student at a New England boarding school, far removed from his family and friends in the Piedmont Hills of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The first artist signed to the Beatles' Apple Records, James Taylor released his self-titled debut album in 1968. Containing instantly memorable songs like "Carolina In My Mind" and "Something In The Way She Moves," James Taylor immediately established him as an important new voice in contemporary music. Moving to California, and Warner Bros. Records, in 1969, James Taylor recorded his first platinum album, Sweet Baby James, released in March 1970. A year later, Taylor was featured on the cover of Time magazine, which heralded him as the harbinger of "the singer/songwriter era."
His songs reflect his passion for music and a dedication to the constant evolution of his craft; and they have had a profound influence on both songwriters and music lovers of all generations and from all walks of life. Today it is no surprise to see children discovering his songs through their parents' record collections and immediately falling in love with the sound of his voice.

New York's Beacon Theater is the ideal setting for a James Taylor concert and this DVD brilliantly shows why. A theater of this style and size brings a unique intimacy between the performer and the audience and this is evident by Taylor's frequent banter with the audience, and the way he seems to be enjoying himself onstage. The warm and dynamic acoustics which this theater imparts were captured impeccably on this DVD, and are presented in one of the finest Dolby 5.1 mixes I have ever heard.
Live At The Beacon Theater showcases 25 song performances that go all the way back to Taylor's early 70's classics, and all the way up to his Grammy Award winning Hourglass album of 1997. He also mixes in a few interesting cover songs, including two from Buddy Holly. Taylor appears in excellent spirits this evening. His usual shy and reserved persona is clearly evident but he easily disarms the adoring audience with his charming between song chatter. However, like myself, the audience didn't come to hear Sweet Baby James talk, they came to hear him sing and pick that guitar of his, and he absolutely delivers.
Taylor's vocals have never sounded better, and he had an amazing sounding band backing him on this show. He took some liberty with the arrangement of some of his classic songs, most notably on a somber version of "Fire And Rain" that only included Taylor on the acoustic guitar, accompanied by some excellent cello playing. Most of the song performances were exceptional, and ranged from stripped down, acoustic guitar numbers with only Taylor's guitar and vocals, to full blown productions including every member of his band.
A few of the songs sounded uninspired and fell a little flat, when compared to the original versions, but this was hardly noticed among all of the other great performances. On "Shower The People", the male background vocalist handles the middle vocal section of the song and gives a dramatic, gospel-inspired vocal performance that made this old classic sound fresh. "Steamroller Blues" closed out the first set and featured Taylor playing a pretty impressive harmonica intro. This performance was a little bit lighter and more improvised than some other versions I have heard.
