James Taylor performs at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California, on July 6, 1972. This recording was, allegedly, going to be released as an official live album back in the '70s. This recording is taken from an original silver version of the Baby James By The Bay bootleg by The Polar Bear Records. I uploaded this concert a few months ago, but it was taken down due to copyright reasons. This is a reupload without four songs.
This live performance is from my collection of live music downloaded between 2005-2010 when I was a moderator at dimeadozen.org. Thanks to the original uploader.
Here are the original notes that came with the recording:

A great soundboard recording.
Polar Bear Records claims that this is a Warner Brothers official recording that was initially going to be released as a live album but was instead replaced by another studio album. The quality is fantastic and James puts on a very good performance. There are a few fades between songs but that is all there really is to complain about. I'm not sure how much this show has been circulated but it will make a great addition to any James Taylor collection. Overall, a definite must-have!! Any additional info on date and venue would be greatly appreciated.
