The Carole King British Summer Time Concert
Tapestry in full
Once only never to be repeated
Our gang just in front of the mixing station centre pic



We was there!

Early afternoon before the crowds all came


Venturing out of the Priority Enclosure - mixing with the cheap seats








 Opening number
I Feel the Earth Move
Fantastic
All songs off Tapestry performed full-on no holding back


Great visuals 
 

Reprise of "You've Got a Friend" in the encore
(video)
 Crowd give it some wellie

Goodnight London

From the Daily Telegraph review
She’s an all time great songwriter with an authentic voice that has aged with the songs. There’s a fragility that blends warmly and humanly with a seven-piece band who possessed the formidable skill and touch to somehow maintain the ragged, organic personality at the heart of the original, even as they stretched songs out to fill the space
(wish I'd have written that)
 
Support acts pretty top drawer, here's Don Henley ex founder Eagle

He delivered!

Taking it Easy
Hotel California
One of these nights
Boys of Summer
New York Minute
Desperadoes
etc.
Short clip here

Before that a soulful set from Michael Kiwanuka
