Description:

Carole King's legendary live performance in Central Park on May 26, 1973 will be released on May 26, 2023, exactly 50 years to the day! Carole King, one of America's greatest female singer-songwriters, gave a highly successful free triumphant concert on May 26, 1973 in front of an estimated 100,000 people at The Great Lawn in New York City's Central Park. This is the first time that the legendary concert is being presented to the public. This is a rare performance that captures Carole King at the peak of her popularity, both reputationally and commercially, following the huge success of "Tuszure Oriki". Producer Lou Adler and New York concert promoter legend Delsner have decided to present the first ever free concert at the famed Great Lawn in Central Park. This event changed the live performance landscape in New York City and ushered in the legendary performances in Central Park, marking the beginning of an era that continues to this day.Carole King delighted her fans by performing her best-known songs and songs from her soon-to-be-released 1973 album, Fantasy. Despite her great commercial success at this time, Carole King rarely gave concerts. On this special occasion, however, she began by playing the piano alone, and in the latter half of the concert she was joined by David T. Walker (g), Clarence McDonald (key), Charles Larkey (b), Harvey Mason (ds), Bobby Hall (perc), Tom Scott (sax), and many others. He was the front man for a powerful 11-piece band that included members who participated in the recording of "Fantasy" and performed in two parts.
