  • Nice song, originally released 41 yrs ago. My first concert outing with my new Canon HD superzoom camera. Shooting was limited due to strict security.
    James performed this song at the 2011, 10th Anniversary Memorial for 9-11 in NYC. The lyrics are quite poignant...
    His backup band and singers are all major session people. Huge talents.
    A bit of trivia... guess which one was in the original Blues Brothers movie...

    Happy Canada Day weekend.
    Cheers!

      I knew the set list, and was gonna shoot Carolina and Country Road, but the security guard 10 feet away screwed up that plan!! He was there until the encore.

  • You seem to have all the names. I recognized Lasley, Markowitz and barely, McCuller, but what ever happened to Carter?

    Great stuff. A place too close to my soul/heart.

  • One of my favorite JT songs. My sophomore year in high school. Hate to change the subject, but that woman next to him on the right has fabulous jugs.
