feefeetee Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Went to see James supported by Athlete on Saturday, they were effing amazing, would love to see them at Glastonbury, please please please let them be on the lineup when it's announced! We didn't see them all the other years they were there back in the 90's, but they put on such a spectacular show, and one of the first things we said to each other as we left was, "they'd be so good at Glastonbury". They played a mix of old and new, and EVERYONE was dancing their socks off, even the old crones up at the very back in the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themuel Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 In contrast to that I saw them at isle Of Wight last year and they came across as smarmy self satisfied idiots and got booed as they went off by alot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaanypooch Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Im a bit gutted James havent played at either of the last 2 Glastos. Their best of has some brilliant tunes and I'd like to see them for old times sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themuel Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I was at Isle of Wight this year and they were fantastic. Had the crowd go wild. The energy was amazing. I'm not a die hard fan I like a few of their tracks but I really enjoyed their set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornslippy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Likewise, I like a few of their tracks, especially like the new album, but was never a huge fan back in the day, but they really blew me away at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 They were very good on Friday in Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Bites Back Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Tim Booth was amazing on his own............ Well with his backing band, but not with James!!!! It was back in 2004??? I think it was then?? They do seem to roll into one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finner Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Saw them at Brixton last night and they were incredible. Started with Tim Booth and Larry Gott (on guitar) weaving their way through the audience while playing Lose Control to get to the stage. Ended with mass stage invasion and dancing for Laid. If you've never seen James I would really recommend it. Definitely one of the best live acts I've seen and I've been to a few. They would be great at Glastonbury - Sit Down would be one of those Glastonbury moments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loosechange Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 If they sang it. They didnt at Isle Of Wight if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmonkey Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Their 98 show was great, despite it being in the pouring rain. England had just beaten Colombia in the world cup, Foo Fighters were giving score updates during the first half, second half was live on the big screens. James had a victory set and a defeat set lined up, having refused to play while the footy was on, and fortunately they got to play the victory set! Good times, would be great to see them back, and I reckon pretty likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornslippy Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 And the victory set was great! Fingers crossed they do play this year! Saw them at Brixton last year, and was blow away at how great they still are. Could go to the recent ones as I was away. A summer time set would be very welcome.

Chrispy77 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I love James, one of my all time favourite bands. In my dream world they'll headline either JP or Park on Friday night, and in my nightmare world, they'll do it on Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
