The Living Room Tour


The Living Room Tour is a live album by Carole King released in 2005. It consists of live recordings of most of the songs from Tapestry. Her daughters Louise and Sherry and background singer and guitarist Gary Burr joined her on several songs. This album debuted at #17 in the US, becoming King's highest-charting album since 1977. That was largely due to television advertisements and that it was available in Starbucks retailers.
For the week of July 18, 2005, it was the #1 album on Amazon, and it was the #2 album of July 2005 on Amazon. In its first week, The Living Room Tour sold 44,000 copies in the United States, and has since sold over 330,000 copies in the United States.
In August 2006, the album re-entered the Billboard 200 at #151, because it was once again available in all Starbucks locations in the US.
A live video album filmed during the tour, titled Welcome to My Living Room, was released on DVD on October 23, 2007.
