First-Time Concert! (Atlantic City, NJ 6/27/26)
I’ve been a fan of James Taylor for most of my life and finally had the opportunity to see him in person. What an incredible show! I knew going in what to expect as far as what he’d sound like vocally but for being nearly 80 he’s funny and personable and is an incredibly talented performer. This experience is like a grandfather sitting around a campfire with his guitar singing songs and telling jokes/stories about his life.
I was hoping (but not expecting) that he’d sing my favorite song of his, “Never Die Young,” and he actually did! Totally made my night.
The audience seemed to want him to play “Sweet Baby James” and that ended up being his final song for his second encore, rather than “You Can Close Your Eyes.”
Overall, an awesome show. Wouldn’t have wanted to go any other way.
