Carole King and James Taylor are giving fans the opportunity-of-a-lifetime, to see two musical legends up-close-and-personal with ’intimate and in the round’ Stage Seats on their Troubadour Reunion Tour. The Stage Seats were designed as tables for two surrounding the center stage performance. The original design recreates the intimacy of a vintage nightclub within the high-energy atmosphere of a up to date arena performance--paying tribute to Carole King and James Taylor’s legendary 1970 performances. In November of 1970, James Taylor and Carole King first performed together at the Troubadour on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. Taylor had just released his debut album for the Beatles’ newly-formed Apple Records and King was finding her way as a first-time solo performer even though by then she was a famous songwriter with a string of hits for other artists. When they returned to the club for a two-week co-headlining run in 1971, their lives were somewhat different.
That summer, Taylor’s "Fire and Rain" was topping the charts and King’s landmark Tapestry was on its way to making her a music superstar. Thirty-six years later, in November 2007, James Taylor, Carole King and members of their renowned original band "The Section" (featuring guitarist Danny Kortchmar, bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Russell Kunkel) returned to the Troubadour for a three-night, six-show run to celebrate the venue’s 50th anniversary. Those historic shows are documented in Live at the Troubadour, a special 2-disc CD/DVD available May 4th from Hear Music/Concord Music Group. This remarkable recording, culled from these unforgettable shows, features 15 songs and 75 minutes of pristine video and audio, including stunning performances of the pair’s most beloved hits such as Carole King’s "So Far Away," "It’s Too Late," and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", as well as James Taylor’s "Carolina in My Mind," "Sweet Baby James," and "Fire and Rain", to name just a few.
