James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind (BBC In Concert, 11/16/1970)

In this restored footage of "James Taylor In Concert," James performs his song "Carolina in my Mind", on the popular BBC series "In Concert" on November 16, 1970.
"In Concert" was produced by the BBC in the early '70s and featured performances from legendary acts of the time. In November 1970, James was 22 years old and his second studio album "Sweet Baby James" had released earlier that same year.

Carolina in my Mind - James Taylor
LYRICS
In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine
Can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Karin she’s a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now
Well, I’m cryin’ ain’t I
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Ain’t no doubt in no one’s mind
That love’s the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
Hey, baby, the sky’s on fire
I’m dyin’ ain’t I
Ain’t I gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine
Can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Till I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens
Say I’m goin’, I’m goin’
Gone to Carolina in my mind
It’s with a holy host of others
Standing round me
Still I’m on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind I’m long gone to Carolina
Can’t you see the sunshine
I said can’t you just feel the moonshine
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
So I’m already gone
I’m gone
Say nice things about me
I’m gone
You’ll have to carry on without me
I’m gone
Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
I’m gone
Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

The bbc really knew how to record these artists all those years ago. Their sound engineers were just leaps above at this time. I’d love to dig into their archives, they recorded Genesis in 1970 and they are on KZbin and also sound excellent.

Absolutely, and the footage was so well preserved.

[@pinkie7803]

Agreed. Really recommend their 1973 recording of Bill Withers, too.

well back then it was more about getting "presence" into the recording, now it's about getting bass

I was an angry 16 year-old dude in 1981 after my Dad (who was in the service) was transferred from Hawaii to Washington, D.C. I left a job I loved, a school I knew and a bunch of good friends that I would never see again. I left paradise for the cold Maryland suburbs and was plunged into a foreign environment full of strangers. I was pissed. This song spoke to me and told me that someone understood how I felt. It really meant a lot to me and helped to teach me the power of music -- and art, in general.

[@timothylewis2450]

Well put my friend. I don’t know how I would have made it to 60 without music.

My grandad Christopher Heneghan is in the audience rolling a cigarette and laughing in the very first few seconds of this video. He told me you were his best friend while you lived together in London. I had the honour to meet you in Brighton last year and was so happy that you remembered him. I miss him so much but listening to your beautiful songs and getting to see his smiling face for a brief second makes me very happy. Thank you James 💕

[@gwynenglishnielsen8596]

My daughter graduated from UNC Chapel Hill. This song is the university's theme song. When they played it in the stadium before commencement, you could hear a pin drop. His father had been a dean at the school, so James actually did live there. Whenever I hear it, I cry for no practical reason at all.

[@poom641]

1970 i was a little kid living in South Carolina. Our older neighbor was a shy tall 19 year old with dark hair. He was drafted into the psychotic war in vietnam and was killed literally 2 weeks later. I can still see him in my mind, i have always once in a while throughout my life seen him among the bushes and foliage in their yard next door . At random times his blurry image comes to me, all these years. 19 years old he was, i can still remember his mother coming home from his funeral dressed in black with a black veil covering her face. We had thought she was mean as young kids me and my siblings, but we felt so bad for her then. The images have been stuck in my mind forever “War is a place where young people who do not know and do not hate each other kill each other, because of the decision of old men who know and hate each other, but do not kill each other ”. Erich Hartmann
