By now, Taylor's skill at low-key love songs is a given, making him an archetypal "sensitive New Age guy" on the strength of his canny mix of emotional vulnerability, romantic imagery, and understated delivery. Less obviously, Taylor has gradually transformed the shadows of disillusionment audible in his earliest songs into a nuanced acknowledgment of his own age. "Line 'Em Up," from Hourglass, typifies his skill at limning disarmingly lucid, frankly philosophical vignettes, here woven around a recollection of Richard Nixon's last hurrah, while "Jump Up Behind Me" affords a testament to self-determination ultimately as serious in theme as it is buoyant in its musical framework. Throughout, Taylor's stage band proves a thoroughbred, its accompaniment rock solid and delicately detailed, and perfectly matched to a crack backing chorus.
Among the first video concerts produced with DVD in mind, Live at the Beacon Theatre has been in heavy rotation in home demonstration suites ever since its release, an achievement understandable after hearing the crystalline 5.1 mix engineered by Frank Filipetti, who shared a Grammy as coproducer on Hourglass and snagged a second award for his engineering of that album. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Reviews of James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theatre
Great moments you can play anytime If you're reading this, you're obviously a James Taylor fan. Simply stated, you will enjoy this concert immensely. I was interested by the review below complaining about the MTV short camera bursts and the lack of long shots of JT. While that's true, I didn't find it bothersome in the least. At a concert, I like to look around at the various singers and musicians, and this approach fits that style: maybe it was intentional? The selection of songs was great, the collection of JT veteran musicians and singers outstanding, and the whole night at the Beacon was magic. The only disappointment was the first song, "You Can Close Your Eyes," which was great but too short. Taylor's brief comments show a good sense of humor, and he shows that he is human when a "young heckler in training" seems to get under his skin. The sound is remarkable, and this is a concert DVD you will listen to often. This concert, along with "Hell Freezes Over" and John Fogarty's "Premonition" DVD are the best I've seen and heard. Buy and enjoy!
A superb and lively performance!
This DVD is a wonderful showcase for James Taylor and his wonderful musical talents. Age may not have been kind to his appearance (like so many of us!!) but it has done nothing to damage his wonderful voice and certianly hasn't dampenned his amazing enthusiam for his music.
This concert, recorded at the Beacon Theatre in 1998, is a wonderful showcase of Taylor's hits and some wonderful new material. Form the opening song, a wonderfully harmonised version of "You Can Close Your Eyes" to the final rousing rendition of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" Taylor is in top form. What is wonderful is Taylor's unpredictability, both in his behaviour (he's really just a big kid!!) and his delivery. He always has a new way of interpreting songs, new and old, and it is wonderful to sit and listen to an old standard done in a new a refreshing way as "Mexico" and "Shower the People" are on this DVD.
Taylor also has wonderful backing musicians for the concert. The standard of musicianship is excellent as are the backing singers, notably Arnold McCuller on the aforementioned "Shower the People".
This DVD is a wonderful showcase of Taylor himself and is one of the best going around. A must for any music fan.
Pullover is better!
After reading the reviews about "Live at the Beacon" I assumed that I was missing the better show, having already purchased "Pullover". WRONG! Pullover is superior in all respects; presentation, sound, and picture. Made me question just what those "Beacon" fanatics were listening to and looking at. JT was much, much more relaxed in Pullover and as another reviewer said "He was definitely having more fun." I sat through the whole Pullover concert (enjoying every minute...) but found myself using the "skip" button while viewing Beacon. You just need to purchase Pullover....you won't be missing anything by passing on "Beacon".
