Notes:

My eighth annual recording of James Taylor at Tanglewood; the first where there was an opening act and first with no intermission. Show started late, at 8:50.

Recorded from the lawn, in a wooded area to the right of the stage over by the pizza stand on the stage side of the paved walkway. For a couple of tracks, I copied portions of the track from the left channel to the right, as the right channel tended to have more crowd noise (not intrusive, just noisier). It's not often and not noticeable without headphones.

Enjoy the show and support the artists.

Samples included in comments, artwork included in torrent. If burning to CD, tracks 1-26 can fit on the first CD, the rest on a second CD.
