“The way it feels to me — working like this and for so long — I’m surprised it still feels the same,” Taylor shared earlier this year with The San Diego Union-Tribune. “And the fact I’ve stuck with it is, well, when something works, you tend to stick with it. And performing is the realest part of a kind of a show-biz career, or a commercial artistic career. The fact that you put it in front of an audience — they come back to hear you again and again — and you know immediately how they’re receiving it and what their response is.”

He continued: “We don’t have a script. We may have a set list, but we’re free to do whatever we need to be present. That’s the main thing about the way I and my band perform. We want to be as present and available in the moment, right there in real time, as possible. If that wasn’t the case, people could just watch a recorded show on television. We want those moments when it’s definitely happening right now, there’s no question about it.”
