Sorry, two-day show window has ended....
Back in 1970, when "Apple"was the Beatles' record label and not an iEverything megacorp, they signed this kid named James Taylor.
Remember the lime-green label?
The BBC had J.T. in with his guitar to record a studio concert. Fifty years ago, kids.
That concert--restored, clear as a bell and bittersweet--is running right now on YouTube.
But only for 48 hours--til mid-afternoon Tuesday. (3pmET)
Boomers, geezers and folk creakers will adore this: the time machine they've been looking for.
Such innocence. The audience smokes! Are there better times ahead? Then? Now?

Earlier today, Taylor--now 72--put up his memories of this concert and those times.
"Long ago a young man sits, and plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams.
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon.
Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be.
Where do those golden rainbows end? Why is this song so sad?"
