when i first saw this concert on PBS13, i enjoyed it much more then the pre-recorded video i purchased. it's missing many songs like, "Sweet potato pie", "Mexico", & many others from the "Never die young" album. they should launch the original concert on DVD for us to see all the songs without interruption.

I have a copy of this concert I taped from PBS years ago. My VCR was not a HI FI unit when I made the recording. So I purchased this concert video that was recorded in Boston. It sounds great in HI FI stereo. It is the same concert but this video tape is missing most all the songs from the "Never Die Young" album. My copy from PBS has many more songs on it. Why the difference?

It's great except for one thing; It's not in 1979 it's 1988. Any JT fan or anybody who can use logic will tell you that in 1979 JT had a mustache, he had more hair, and the albums 'that's why I'm here' and 'Never die young' weren't out yet. On top of that in 79 he was filmed in the Blossom Music Center in Ohio, not Boston.

This is his greatest concert (IMHO)! The only problem is...it's missing some key songs that appeared on the PBS version. The continuity has been hacked by the way this one has been edited. It just doesn't flow like the original.
CAN WE PLEASE GET AN UN-EDITED DVD VERSION???
Here's a concert you could automatically re-sale to all the James Taylor fans that want the entire concert!!!

The best I have seen. JT gets the whole house involved whenever he performs. The audience is enthusiastic and JT sings all his songs just the way I like. MUST SEE!

The best James Taylor Concert Video to date. However, it is missing some songs from the originally aired PBS showing.

This one has all the real warmth of J.T.

Can we get to see the unedited version on DVD 5.1 Surround ?

This concert video taken in Boston is one example of how JT is able to take his classic hits, make a subtle change in a chord or a melody of the song, and you find a whole new reason to love the song and his ability to perform the song. I sincerely believe there are few artists out there today who sound better in concert than on tape or CD. His performance here makes him one of those artists.

This is a great buy for any fan of James Taylor. It is him in concert in Boston and he plays all of his greatest hits including Sweet Baby James, Smiling Face and Steamroller. END

I bought this thinking it was the concert at the Blossom Music Festival, its got the same title, why is this so? I'm very dissappointed. Thanks, a very confused James Taylor Fan.
