James Taylor 'Ananas' - A&E Live by Request

[@Grooovin1]

Carlos did what every great drummer tries to do, transcend technique and chops and just make it feel really good. Thanks Carlos your groove is never forgotten in my world.

[@paullacsamana5886]

That snare and tom he did during the chorus is a thing of beauty... Thanks Carlos. Your music lives on...

[@paulamontana9970]

A wonderful rendition of Ananas song ! What great musicians , and of course JT’s vocals !

[@pianojay101]

This song is awesome, Carlos was awesome-he brought so much to JT's music and more...love him and miss him...JT's new album covers is awesome please go get it! pass the word its awesome a must have.

[@Fiahkla]

JT's voice is like wine... years go by and it gets even better!

[@andrewklish9512]

[@bigboijc]

man...still can't get it that Carlos is gone....he and my dad recorded together with the Bellamy Brothers...he was and still is one of my drumming influences

[@deborahsmith1639]

Excellent combo James and Carlos

[@carolyncolinhogarth8732]

this is one of my favorite sounds... nice

[@OliverKnieps]

God bless Carlos Vega!!! 👌🏻🥁🎉

[@davebucher6617]

Carlos -one of my all time fav. drummers..so cool..GREAT GROOVE player..an inspiration to aspire to..you with J.T. just memorable...sadly missed...

[@olivertruswell]

I think I'm gonna eat a lot of Pineapple just because of this man! Great song!

[@groovesville1179]

Carlos was all funk.That's what made him so special. Consider a drum machine if you need simple.

[@JimHilario]

Only JT can get away with singing with his reading glasses on ;) Love the "pineapple" song too ;)

[@vivianemartinhidalgo3245]

j'adore

[@RogerBiwandu]

My God I just LOVE this band !!! Thanks LeifKnutsson for puting this treat online, yes.

[@sparktv_9241]

ah man, I got this on a VHS Tape and I just recorded it on to a DVD about a month ago, this is a great performance, btw it is from June 25, 1997, a little over a month after the Hourglass album was released.

[@SuperC888]

Look at James groovin' Great!

[@SuperC888]

Ananas means pineapple So sweet on the inside, rough on the outside Great lyrics, James!

[@Bassarie]

One of my favorite JT songs, though I like the slower CD version more. Carlos Vega was a great drummer indeed!

[@bigboijc]

I think Carlos got a LOT of recognition especially for turning into a sought after studio drummer. he, Eddie Bayers, and Larrie Londin...three of the greats.

[@bigboijc]

no possible way he's too funky on this...it's just plain taste...that's what he's doing

[@yumha38]

Carlos Vega was perfect for JT, because he added drive, but in a very supportive way....come to think of it, any time Mr Vega picked up the sticks, he made everyone he played with sound that much better! R.I.P

[@onefoot7]

Yeah, Carlos was great!

[@melodymakermark]

What’s the Strat players name, Bob Mann? I think that’s him. He has some great fills. Fire and Rain from this show was awesome.

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Carlos the great...

[@bigboijc]

my goodness...is this the last show that James did with Carlos (the drummer on the video)?

[@jasonfallon4968]

This available on DVD?

[@drumfoomaster]

no it's not the last performance. carlos died in april of 1998

[@bigboijc]

sorry...meant to hit the thumbs up...I agree...no feel means your a drum machine

[@djebat88]

I didn't know James wore glasses THAT thick! But love the man just the same.

[@drumfoomaster]

no simple is good sometimes. consider a drum machine if you want no feel.

[@bigboijc]

@MsDiesIrae9 pardon me but are you making fun of him for killing himself?

[@jasonfallon123]

Too fast

[@hakanwetterbro8349]

Great version ! The exit somewhat square and corny.

[@teecee3866]

Music was better with Carlos.

[@groovesville1179]

Ridiculous statement.

[@peterwhalen1]

his material is very strong 1970-1986. Very weak after that. His last consistent album was "Thats Why I'm Here". Cannot even listen to anything after that!

[@ggrey5990]

Incorrect

[@Jisseppe89]

i feel he's tryin to be too funky. he should keep it simple imo.
