LENOX -- James Taylor closed out his two night stand at Tanglewood on Friday night with a two-set, three hour performance at the Koussevitzky Shed. Unlike opening night, the Independence Day performance was not impacted by weather.
“We have been tracking Hurricane Arthur all day on the iPad,” said Taylor at the outset of the show. “It has cleared the Berkshires.”

As a rule, singer-songwriters with acoustic guitars and heartfelt ballads don’t play arenas.

There was something appropriate about seeing James Taylor on Father’s Day.
An acclaimed artist with a catalog of comforting, reassuring — faintly paternal, even — songs, Taylor’s sold out stop at the Verizon Theatre felt akin to coming home.

Any Kings fans at the Hollywood Bowl June 7 for James Taylor’s first of two packed shows there, rather than across town at Staples Center where the L.A. team was facing the New York Rangers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, didn’t have to wait to watch the results via DVR.
As so often happens at his (or really anyone’s) performances, hollered comments from the crowd filled the gaps between songs throughout both halves of his easygoing but exactingly detailed set. Some shouted requests that went unnoticed. Many women (and men) proclaimed their love. A few vocal admirers down front let him know it was their birthday.
