Double Live Album on 180-Gram Vinyl

This recording documents the first-ever concert performance of King’s Grammy-winning Tapestry in its entirety in London’s Hyde Park in front of some 60,000 people. While King is decades older, she continues to perform with few breaks and remains vital, every bit the athletic pianist and resonant, expressive vocalist. When the band takes the stage, they dig right in and go for broke on “I Feel The Earth Move.” King’s daughter Louise Goffin joins the band for “Where You Lead” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” which are given a new poignancy in this presentation. King even straps on a Stratocaster for “Smackwater Jack.” When she and the band finish the album, she and Goffin present a medley that offers a wider view of her career; they are snippets, but she pulls them off with finesse.
