It is clear that the weekly Mirrored Master recorded not only his royal road artists such as ZEP and Floyd, but also many surprising artists, but it was released this Sunday. Is James Taylor in 1981. A record of the tour that was carried out with the masterpiece “DAD LOVES HIS WORK”.
Originally speaking of Taylor, a person who followed the minimum band in the background and kept the acoustic sound to the last. For that reason, the mirrored master excavated this time can enjoy a taste that is a little different from his usual recording. Mirrored was usually good at recording closed sound images in the arena, but this day was a relaxing stage in the theater like Taylor. Therefore, the mirrored recording has a reasonable sense of distance instead of the usual on-balance. That said, from the perspective of Millard.

Because, this sound image fits perfectly into a happy show in the theater, and it is still the highest level of audience recording. Moreover, the freshness is also exquisite, and Taylor’s staging, which delivers a simple band sound with high purity in the first place, is fully captured. Try listening with headphones, and you can be assured that you will be fascinated by the transparent texture.

In 1981, Taylor’s popularity and status in the United States was unwavering, and the pace of recording slowed down with the release of “DAD LOVES HIS WORK” as a break. Instead, I focused on live activities, but the composition of this tour is a dignified song selection that looks back on Taylor’s career up to that point. Is it the best compilation live anymore?
In that case, the reaction of the audience will be enthusiastic for each song, and it will be returned as a warm presence unique to the theater, so the charm of mirrored recording that is different from usual is fresh. Wasn’t it okay to release it on a press disc, such as the exhilaration of peace that came when “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)” started? I can think of it.

The show begins with Taylor playing alone, but familiar musicians such as “Stand And Fight”, bass Lee Sklar, and guitar Waddy Wachtel are all performing in a full band formation. It also shines in the theater class venue.
And even though it was a long stage that lasted more than 2 hours, it was Taylor’s relaxed stage and the strongest set list that he never got tired of listening.
In “Her Town Too”, JD Souther who participated in the recording appeared and reproduced the same duet as the album, and then he also performed a surprise, and there are plenty of things to hear. Millard recorded the best acoustic theater show that Taylor can’t get tired of with great quality!
