James Taylor played here maybe 15 (?) years ago. Great show. People were calling out songs. One I don’t think I was familiar with and James looked up towards whomever called it out and said, “We’re not playing that. There’s a dusty old soul up there”. We cracked up.

I’d read that during intermission he put on a hat and just sat down on the front of the stage. Not a lot of security needed at a James Taylor concert. With the age of the crowd, intermission means ever jumps up from their seats and heads to the bathrooms. Lots of movement. Since I knew that, my wife and I got to shake his hand.
