According to some sources, James Taylor, who was signed to the Apple label at the time, was invited to play Woodstock on the condition that the Beatles played the festival. When the Beatles declined (more on that in a post later this month), the invitation to Taylor was pulled. Taylor's first album, and only one the Apple label, was released in the US in February 1969. The disc included 2 tunes that would become classics, both of which also had links to the Fab Four. Paul McCartney and an uncredited George Harrison guested on bass and backing vocals respectively on Carolina in My Mind, which includes the lyric "holy host of others standing around me", which referenced The Beatles. The tune Something in the Way She Moves provided the starting point for Harrison's #1 single, Something. Ironically, Taylor said he originally wanted the tune to be called I Feel Fine, but the title had already been taken by a Beatles song.
In any event, this soundboard recording captures Taylor over 4 1/2 decades after Woodstock, at Fenway Park in Boston on August 3, 2015, 9 years ago today.
