USA - The American folk singer/songwriter James Taylor performed at the Hamburger Laieszhalle with his One Man Band, Larry Goldings, accompanying him on piano and keyboards. The five-time Grammy winner, with 20 albums made and around 40 million records sold, has a career spanning almost 40 years. With famous songs like 'Fire and Rain', 'Sweet Baby James' and 'You've Got A Friend', he still sings and plays the guitar on his 'One Man Band' European tour.

The Alcons system deployed by Profimusik in Hamburg consisted of six LR16 cabinets per side, with six LR14s as underhang, powered and controlled by ALC2 and DDP processing, with for bass reinforcement a BF302 MK2 per side, powered by an ALC6 amplifier/controller with DDP processing.

As stage-lip fill for the first rows, four units of SR9, also with ALC2 and DDP came into play. Taylor's engineer David Morgan and James' crew were extremely happy with the system sound, say Alcons.
