Carole King - In Concert (1994)

Singer-songwriter Carole King captured live in concert at the Bushnell Hall, Hartford, during her 1993 “Colour of Your Dreams” tour. “In Concert” was the first of Carole King's live albums to appear, actually preceding the release of the 1971 “Carnegie Hall Concert”. The two couldn't be more different. Carnegie Hall presents a nervous, unassuming artist on the cusp of stardom. The Carole King of “In Concert” is a different woman an abundantly confident, slick professional, with all the timing, glitz, and glamour of a Las Vegas pro. Includes the classics 'Up On the Roof', 'Natural Woman', and 'It's Too Late'. Sometimes this works her mind-boggling collaboration with Slash from Guns N' Roses on guitar, on the version of 'Hold Out for Love' and the rearranged "Jazzman" betters its studio counterpart. But there are disasters, too  "Hard Rock Cafe" is a distinctly unwelcome inclusion, and the blandly flawless band plays as if in a recording studio, rather than on-stage. It's no surprise that King's most unforgettable standard "You've Got a Friend" elicits the warmest crowd response, which might explain why it appears twice, the second time with supporting vocals courtesy of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
