Description: Anyone who took the gray-striped kitty on the cover of Tapestry as a totem, from your hip junior-high English teacher to Ben Folds, will recognize the import of Carnegie Hall, recorded the week "It's Too Late" went to No. 1. Mostly solo at the piano, King brought home 10 of that already emblematic album's tunes with a smattering of other numbers. Some of the latter are more callow than absolutely necessary, with "Carry Your Load" way too bouncy and "Snow Queen" too glib. But when she digs out "No Easy Way Down" (immortalized by Dusty Springfield on Dusty in Memphis) and "A Natural Woman," it's a little bit of heaven, even when her voice starts cracking. Actually, her nervousness is charming, though some of her between-song wisecracks fail to wow the very partisan crowd, much less the CD listener a quarter-century later. Guess that's only natural for someone just coming into her own in public after a decade or so behind the curtain, and no one seems to mind much anyway. As the history books tell us, this was a pretty polite rock moment; to further prove it, James Taylor shows up for the encores. Though Tapestry remains the essential item, this one gets by on the grace of King's heart. --Rickey Wright

Incredible

This album is from a time when musicians were very creative, and didn't tour with large entourages of dancers, hairdressers, and wardrobe staff. If you like Carole King's music, this album is a must. The quality of the sound and the songs on the album are fantastic. It also features guest James Taylor. This is real music, not manufactured stuff which is now often the norm.

Lovely Live Recording Of King's Best!

This is a wonderful live album capitualting all of Carole King's greatest hits. Carole King was one of those singer-songwriters who provided the musical backdrop for the exploration of alternative ways of looking at, exploring, and experiencing the world around us. Her many popular anthems described her feelings, existential angst, and sentimental deliberations about life, love and the battles between the sexes in very approachable and appealing ways. Both the melodies and the lyrics are topical, memorable, and quite up beat, although she is certainly capable of delivering some thought-provoking and plaintive songs, such as an existential wail over the problems with maintaining a long- distance relationship in songs like "So Far Away".

Yet Carole always keeps the tunes within the pop realm, and packages them in a seamless production with great vocals and impeccable musical arrangements, and what is included in this classic album is a treasure for the ages. From "Tapestry" to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", from "(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman" to ""You've Got A Friend", and from "Home Again" to "It's Too Late", the entire album resonates with her unique gift for terrific lyrics showcasing unforgettable melodies. It's all here, folks, a wonderful album that recapitulates all of the songs that this great pop star gave us as she emerges from the unbelievable sixties to prove the best just keep on singing! Enjoy!
