Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971

The Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 was Carole King's first concert performance in front of an audience.

Performed on June 18, 1971, it was released years later, in 1996, as an album. This album has seventeen live songs. Some songs included: "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", "You've Got a Friend", "Child Of Mine", "I Feel The Earth Move", "It's Too Late", "Beautiful", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "After All This Time", "Carry Your Load", "Song of Long Ago", and "Home Again".

James Taylor, a friend of King's, accompanied her on "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", "Up on the Roof", and "You've Got A Friend". Before she started singing, an old saying went into her mind, "How did the man get to Carnegie Hall?" Out loud she said the answer "Practice man, practice!" Then she performed.
