-Carole's an interesting case,

because she worked as a
songwriter for 10 years, really,

before I met her, and she had
this entire career

as a major songwriter.

Mostly with Gerry Goffin,

but with a couple of other
people too.

-In ... in all cases the music
came through me,

and when it was somebody else's
lyric it integrated;

when it was my own music
and lyrics together

sometimes it would just,
all together, pop out of me.

-I asked her to be
a part of my band ...

I ... I wanted her to play piano
in my band.

But of course, she was also this
major musical source,

that she'd written all of these
amazing tunes,

that some of which
were my favorite songs,

so I felt this thing that Carole
really should be,

you know, singing her own songs.

-And you ... I remember you
pushed me out on stage,

and I was your side man, and
that's all I ever wanted to be,

and then you said to me, "I want
you to go on stage tonight

and sings your song."

"Wha-wha-wha-wait! What? What?
No! No! I can't do it!"

"No, you're going to do it, no,
don't worry,"

and you gave me
the loveliest introduction,

and you said that, "Okay,
everybody, I'm gonna turn

the stage over to Carole King,
you all know her

as a songwriter, she wrote
blah-blah-blah-blah,"

and he listed the whole thing,

and what he did was
he made me pre-loved,

because everybody
knew all those songs.

[ Applause ]

I know that many of you are
admirers of James Taylor.

I am myself.

I don't know, uh,

if you know he's also really
a fine guitarist

as well as a fine songwriter
and singer,

and I'd like to try to get him
out here to help me ...

he was kind enough to volunteer,
so, come on, James.

[ Applause ]

We're gonna do a song for you
called "So Far Away."

-I guess the first time I played
the Troubadour was the ...

was '69 ... was a big deal,

because it was the main gig
in L.A.

It had a proper stage
and a backstage,

and if you did well there,
people ... people noticed it

and, uh, the word got out.

-The Troubadour was a community
of people

who wanted to hear
that kind of music

and the bands
that chose to play there,

and they were often
interchangeable.

But this little unit
that we are right now

is an essential core of
the people that were there.

-We've been trying to ...
to, uh...

recast our minds back and try to
remember what ...

what songs were in the, uh,
in the set

that we played together when
Carole and I did the ...

the Troubadour in ...
back in 1903 or whenever.

[ Laughter ]

We can't, it's gone.

But probably, uh, we played
pretty much everything we had

back in those days, and, uh,
so this song

was probably in the set
somewhere.

I'd like to invite a very good
friend of mine to be on TV

with me, Mr. Danny "Kootch."

In those times
in the early '60s,

when I was trying to learn
the guitar,

I met Danny on ...
on Martha's Vineyard

and, you know, right away,

I started picking things up
from him.

-You have to remember
at that point in time,

there was a huge confluence of
all kinds of music

that were coming together,

and for anyone that was even
slightly interested in music,

it was a brilliant time
to be around.

-I brought a small band together
to make this first album,

and we already had
Danny Kortchmar,

James's best friend, and also
the person who had

introduced me to James
in the first place;

I found a drummer called
Russ Kunkel,

whom I first heard play at
a John Steward rehearsal.

-And the way
James accompanied himself

on the guitar and sang,

it was brand-new to me,
I never heard anything like it.

-And by this time we'd found
the bass player of our dreams,

Lee Sklar.
-His songs were really amazing,

his voice was amazing,
and his demeanor was ...

was unlike most cats I knew at
that time.

-And finally, I had met
one of my idols,

one of the greatest songwriters
of all time, Carole King ...

that was, by the way, Kootch who
introduced me to Carole as well.

I said to Carole, "About to make
this record with James Taylor,

and I wondered if you'd consider
playing piano on it.

Would you come over to my house
and meet him?"

So Carole said yes.

-Next thing I know, I'm down at
his house down in Hancock Park

and hooking up and we're all
talking about

doing this show.

-Which consequently
changed my life,

you know, for all intents
and purposes.

-I guess I didn't realize how
exciting it was at the time,

it is in retrospect that one
looks back and says,

"Wow, that was really exciting."

We were just out here, doing
what we did, being young,

and, you know, making music.

-It's kind of one of these
things I wished I had

been aware that my life was
changing at that moment,

because I might have absorbed it
in a different way.

It was one of those kind of
moments where

everything just goes "boom,"
and matches up,

and we all, you know, just took
off with them.

So, James, we got a problem.

-We have a problem here,
which is that we have

an embarrassment of riches ...

she ... she wrote
too many good songs.

-As did he.

So, we've got these cards here,

and there are
way too many cards,

representing too many songs,

for the time we're gonna be
allowed to play for y'all.

So, this, this is Carole's
brilliant, uh uh uh uh,

solution to it, and it is a
request slot in the set.

[ Laughter ]

So what we did is we ... we chose
this position in ... in the set

as our request position, and we
took a sort of pool of songs

that we really couldn't do
but wanted to,

and we ... we polled you ...
I hope you didn't notice ...

we ... we polled you very gently,
and ... and with our websites,

and, uh, and, uh, Carole and I
alternate back and forth,

it's her turn tonight,
and, uh, this ...

this is the song that ...

that Uncasville seemed to want
to hear.

-People are dying to hear this
stuff again.

They're hungry for it,
because it's uplifting,

'cause it's meaningful to them.

-When it wants me ... the muse
wants me, she comes and gets me.

So ... and as for this
Troubadour Reunion Tour,

as for working with James again,
and the band, and it's...

sheer joy, sheer pleasure, just,

"Oh, you called me for this?
Thank you!"

-The thing that I think makes
this ... this tour really unique

is the fact that
40 years have passed

since the first time we played,

but everybody is still at
the top of their game.

If this was the last thing I did
in my entire career,

I'm good with that.

-And the fact that they
play and sing together

and like each other and are
genuinely great friends

and musical collaborators,
is unique.

It's an event that
you don't want to miss.

-And even if we're not gonna be
in the Troubadour,

this is the most important thing
we cannot lose,

is that closeness that we feel
on stage.

We do it for each other,
but what they're seeing

is us having a great time
together.

-Our challenge was to figure out
how to do an intimate show

in a ... in a really large,
uh, arena.

-We wish everybody could be
close in.

Well, one way to do that is to
perform in the round.

-What we came up with
was the idea that we ...

we would basically have a club
in an arena.

We're also rotating slowly ...
the stage rotates.

Well, we've designed the show to
be as ... as close

and intimate as possible,

and to play to
everybody in the room.

You and I probably just had
the same musical DNA.

-Absolutely true, because you do
things with your guitar

that resonate ... like, I can
pick up on

something you're doing and it
comes out of my fingers

as you're doing it, almost,
it's ...

it's the most remarkable thing,
how that happens,

and that was the thing
that happened

that first connection
at Peter Asher's house.

And it happened throughout
the Troubadour Reunion Tour.

[ Cheering and applause ]

Actually, I ... I've been a fan
of James Taylor's songs

since I met him in 1970.

[ Cheering and applause ]

In ... in fact, to the point
where, prior to hearing

James's songs, I was writing
with other people,

mostly Gerry Goffin
and Toni Stern.

And James inspired me to try
writing my own music and lyrics,

I hope that worked out okay.

[ Cheering and applause ]

We're gonna play for you
right now, and ...

and, uh, see what you think.

A song I wrote
for my nephew.

I had, uh...been overseas,
and when I came home,

my brother Alex and his wife
had... had had a kid,

and in a moment of, um,
relaxed judgment,

they had, uh, named the kid
after me, little ...

little baby James.

[ Cheering and applause ]

I ...

I wanted to write him a song,
I was trying to figure out, uh,

I drove down to North Carolina
thinking about it,

what kind of song would be good
for a little varmint like James,

you know...

Had to be a cowboy lullaby,
you know, Gene Autry, or...

Roy Rogers, and the sons of
the pioneers kind of a...

"Lights out in the bunkhouse"
kind of thing.

Go to sleep,
you little buckaroo.

Thank you so much.

-It was such a mutual thing,
you know,

it defies description.

When we first sat down together
and basically

went back and forth and we're
hearing these things ...

-We were thinking so alike
at the time.

And when I wrote
"You've Got a Friend,"

i-it came through me, that song
purely, purely came through me.

I didn't have you specifically
in mind, though it

certainly applies ... has ... has
applied since I know you.

I didn't have anyone
specifically in mind.

I just sat down at a piano
and that song just came out,

just as you heard it,
just as you do it,

just came right now.

-On the opening night
at the Troubadour,

it was that afternoon that

Carole was doing her
sound check,

preparing for her first-ever
solo show that night,

just her and the piano
on the stage,

and she decided to run through
a song

she had just finished writing.

And James and I were sitting in
the balcony of the Troubadour,

upstairs, and that's when we
heard this brand-new song

called "You've Got a Friend."

-I'm not sure I was sold on ...
on "You've Got a Friend,"

I-I mean, people say,
"Did you know?"

I didn't, I just thought it was
a very nice song.

I had no idea of the reach
it would have.

-As soon as I heard it, I said,
man, that's just ...

that's just it, that's a great,
great song.

-And James went crazy, he fell
in love with the song,

told Carole it was one of the
best pop songs ever written

and asked if she'd mind if he
learned it.

And he did, he learned the song
from Carole,

worked out his own version,
and eventually

we did ask Carole whether she
would consider

letting James record
his version ...

which I knew was against all
the rules of show business,

because she was about to make
her own first record

and it was clearly an amazingly
good song.

But Carole, with exceptional
generosity and grace,

said that would be fine,
I'd be honored

to have you record it as well.

-When we play it together,
the way your guitar

blends with my piano part is
just, it's like that first time

we played together, it's that.

-That's a good thing.

-We did that, buddy!
-A good thing.

-We did that!

[ Cheering and applause ]

-At the heart of it, we have
a conversation with each other

and with the audience, you know,
like, we just feel like

we're there with
one collective friend.

-The connection with
the audience is a ...

is a very interesting thing.

When people come to a concert
and dedicate

two or three hours to listening
to a program of music,

it still is a mystery why it
works the way it does,

but I ... I really love it
and live for it, really.

-What I ... I'm sensing people
responding to is

the simple presentation,

the authentic friendship
that we have.

People are not really coming to
see us as much as

they're coming to see and hear
that which we represent

to the audience.

I like knowing that,
because that keeps our feet

on the ground and it ... it isn't
about us.

We're the deliverer of that
which they came to see.

that we have had together,

and we've been friends

-You have one picture of it when
you approach the thing,

and as you're having
a concept of it,

but then, you know,
when it happens,

the reality, it's hard for it
to ... to measure up to

what you had anticipated.

And in this case, it absolutely
did everything

that it was capable of.

That it had all of its juice,
all of its power, you know.

it really worked.

You know? It really worked
as a ... as a thing.

-It did.
-You couldn't ask for more.
