On November 11, 2018, longtime Eagles guitarist, @JoeWalshOfficial welcomed James, @donhenley, @chrisstapleton and @HaimTheBand for the second VetsAid festival in the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA to an arena audience of military veterans, active-duty military and military families. The concert raised over $800,000 which was dispersed to charity partners supporting vets and their families. The VetsAid Jobs Fair --in cooperation with Operation GoodJobs and Goodwill WA—was also able to connect dozens of veterans and families with meaningful employment and a living wage. The VetsAid veterans charity event was created in 2017 by Joe Walsh. The aim of the annual event is to raise funds and awareness for the urgent and significant needs of returning U.S soldiers and their families in the areas of holistic, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual care. “Fire And Rain” is a classic song written by James that first appeared on his 1970 album "Sweet Baby James". VetsAid 2018 Band: James Taylor, Joe Walsh, Will Hollis, Scott Crago, Steuart Smith, Michael Thompson, Jimmy Johnson, Erica Swindell, Lara Johnston, Lily Elise, Tom Evans, Chris Holt, Milo Deering.

Lyrics Fire And Rain – James Taylor Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, Jesus? You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walking my mind to an easy time My back turned towards the sun Lord knows, when the cold wind blows It'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line To talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby One more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now #JamesTaylor #JT 🎵 #VetsAid #FireAndRain #2018 🎵 NEW ALBUM 🎵 https://found.ee/JTAmericanStandard 🌟 FOLLOW JAMES ON SOCIAL 🌟 https://www.facebook.com/JamesTaylor/ https://www.instagram.com/jamestaylor... https://twitter.com/jamestaylor_com 🌐 VISIT THE WEBSITE 🌐 https://www.jamestaylor.com/ ✉️ JOIN THE MAILING LIST ✉️ https://www.jamestaylor.com/mailinglist/ 🎸 FREE GUITAR LESSONS BY JAMES 🎸
