James Taylor at The Colosseum
James Taylor is one legacy artist who hasn’t played Las Vegas as much as one might assume, making his 12-show run at Caesars Palace, which opened Wednesday, extra special. “It’s always been very brief, and I’ve never had the chance to stick around and check the place out,” he says of Vegas. “This is going to be an unusual thing for me to stay in one place, since I’m usually gone by midnight, on to the next. It’s going to be something to have audiences come to me.”
Taylor sounds focused on rewarding those fans for showing up, backed by an All-Star Band that includes sax man Lou Marini and longtime touring vocalist Arnold McCuller. “Our priority is to present this material in a way that gives the audience the best possible experience of it. What that has come to mean for me is perfecting the set and building in dynamics that make for essentially an evening of theater. We will [have] some spontaneity, and a lot of that comes from the audience, but the framework is something we pay a lot of attention to.” April 19-24, 7:30 p.m., $50-$215. –Brock Radke
