CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND - Carole King wrapped up her first ever tour of Australia and New Zealand in early December with two more incredibly successful shows at the Trusts Stadium in Auckland and the Westpac Centre in Christchurch.

"The whole concert had that feel-good factor...accompanied by guitarists Gary Burr and Rudy Guess, King and her timeless songs were all that was needed and her gutsy piano playing behind her voice was more than enough to keep everyone enthralled."

Carole appeared on the New Zealand television program "Close Up", when she sat down with Susan Wood in her Living Room in Melbourne. The program can be seen here: http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/896905.

The lingering effects of the tour continued in Australia, as 'The Living Room Tour' album moved up on the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) charts from #64 to #51.
