Movie Reviews of James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theatre
Movie Review: Beware of the closed captioning!
Summary: 3 Stars
It's delightful to finally have a James Taylor release on DVD. The technical sound and video quality of this performance is superb.The staging, however, is mildly disappointing, and I feel the production never quite captures the special mood of a live performance involving JT.
My biggest complaint concerns the closed captioning. I thought it would be nice to watch the lyrics on screen during the performance, but whoever captioned the production is obviously unfamiliar with James Taylor's songs. In many cases, the lyrics are just plain wrong (and sometimes misspelled).
Bottom line: The Beacon Theatre DVD is fine while we wait for a more elaborate production from this outstanding musician.
