Album Description:
Carole King is a legendary songwriter who has crafted a myriad of hit songs for other artists but by writing and performing her own material she charted new ground with Tapestry. Now you can experience Carole's vision in its original "unplugged" brilliance.This deluxe 2 CD Legacy Edition features previously unreleased live piano-voice renditions of Tapestry songs in the original album sequence.A runaway-train success, this landmark album stayed on the national charts for a mind-boggling six years and won King four Grammys®. "I Feel The Earth Move," "It's Too Late" and "So Far Away" were heard everywhere in the '70s on a string of newly-minted FM radio stations featuring adult-oriented rock.
"You'll hear suggested guitar and bass lines, and background vocal parts, because that's the way she plays the piano...that was the brilliance of her demos and that's the way I heard these songs for the first time."Lou Adler, producer
DISC TWO: Previously unreleased live piano-voice renditions of Tapestry songs in the original album sequence
Live material recorded in 1973 in Boston, Massachusetts; Columbia, Maryland; and Central Park, New York City, New York and in 1976 at the San Francisco Opera House, San Francisco, California.

This landmark album from the 70's is one that my older sister owned and played endlessly, using seemingly to tap into an innermost emotional well that only teen-aged girls seem to possess. I just remember that I thought every single song was great and how personal "Tapestry" sounded to my young ears. Now, almost 40 years later, that weird jumble of teen hormones having long dissipated and my sister well into adulthood, I cam listen to Carole King with an experienced heart and mind, and it holds up ...

- From the high school years
I used to sit around and listen to this with my hippy pals as if it were philosophy.Now, nearly 40 years later, I must admit that I found a lot of extremely callow - it hadn't aged well, unlike many of my old favorites like Freewheelin Bob D or Rumors by Fleetwood M.The ideas - get up every morning with a smile on your face, you make me feel like... -are about as deep as hippy speak.Even her voice seems limited in range to me, without a certain depth that I expect from jazz or soul vocalists. ...

Rating: - AWESOME
What a wonderful CD!The LIVE version is Carole King playing piano without all the other instrumentals you will hear on the studio version.
I hesitated initially because of the price, I have had Tapestry beginning with the album, 8-track, cassette tape and CD but it would be a mistake not to make the purchase.I have this 2 set cd on my ZEN and I LOVE it!!!
