I'm not sure how to explain this to those of you who haven't seen it.  Watching this footage of Taylor and the band from the Warfield last night was amazing.  I think that's a word that covers the entire hour and 20 minute concert.  I'm hoping that whatever may have been dropped from the original concert pops up as additional footage on the DVD.  The editing of the concert was good.  There are many shots of the band and they certainly are given good air time.  Taylor is, well, Taylor.  Those of us that have seen him in concert know what I mean.  He's his usual live performance self.  You can tell that this is recorded near the end of the spring tour (probably the uneducated person wouldn't know this).  His voice does seem a little tired but he goes through his set list with energy and unwavering passion for the music.

One specific performance that I do want to mention is his encore choice of The Fall.  I am so glad he chose to do an acoustic number for this DVD.  They captured every word, every breath, every sweat droplet of this song perfectly.  Do I need to say more?

Finishing with Naked In the Jungle, leading into Higher, was perfect.  He finishes with a dance on the speaker.  

Would you expect anything less from Executive Producer Taylor Hicks?

Great review amyrebo,I love your description of the Fall,it must have been breathtaking!

And the pic of you dancing to My Friend is where??????? :haha:

Nice review Amy! The Fall Can't wait to buy the DVD, my own little Christmas present to me Dancing on the speaker

Yes, where are all these pics from last night????

Now I can't wait to get my hands on that DVD! It will give me the Taylor fix I am sure I will need between now and the time he starts touring again.

Loved the DVD also, especially the Badge encore I think was outstanding. I only wish the audience could be heard a little better. It seemed weird watching him without the feedback we're all used to.

They should have been at one of the North East shows! We'd be heard!

For those who get HDNet or were trying to and ran out of time for yesterday - - - -

Just a reminder that HDNet is running Taylor's concert again this Sunday, Oct 14th, 6:30 PM ET.

It is preceded by a Robert Randolph Family Band concert at 5:05 PM ET
If you are familiar with them then you won't miss it - - and if you aren't familiar with their music you don't want to miss it !

Taylor sat in with them 6-14-06 at the Greek Theater in L.A. when they opened for the Black Crowes show.

Yeah I didn't have time, I have DISH and would have had to have them ship me the HD/DVR box and there was not enough time. Maybe I'll call them now.

I'm working on getting the pictures up. Between dial up and photobucket...pain in the rump!
