Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars

“It’s past the midnight curfew by the time band finish (although there’s no need to rush for last minute transport here unlike back home when the world stops around eleven o’clock) with a rousing combination of Ring The Bells that has the whole place up on their feet and bouncing and a slightly subdued in comparison Laid. The look on the band’s faces as they take a lingering au revoir from the crowd very much confirms a very special and mutual bond of true love between James and their Portuguese crowd, borne of appreciation on one side by the fact the band treat here like their second home and play where others don’t venture this far west across the Iberian peninsula, on the other by the audience’s willingness to take the band for what and who they are, coming with open hearts and minds and not arriving with expectations of this song or that song being in the set and having their night ruined by their absence. It’s a perfect and beautiful symbiotic love affair.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk

“Extraordinary Times, with its rumbling guitars and the contemporary feel that U2 wish they could still create, is an impressive introduction to the album it gives its name to’s material that forms a major part of the set. The live version of James 2019 feels hell-bent on challenging any perception of them being a hits-churning heritage act and the next three-song salvo provides compelling evidence to back up any waverers on this matter. In the soundcheck Saul described Jam J as post-industrial folk and it’s a pretty apt description for a song that has such a sharp-edged metallic bass line that feels like it’s warning of an impending apocalypse. Set to a wonderful strobe-lit background and Tim barking the verses through a megaphone, it might be twenty-five years old this year, but you wouldn’t know if you weren’t aware of their history.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk

“Waltzing Along (and later Say Something) may get huge roars of recognition, you sense the band have to push themselves right to the limits to give these songs the same adrenaline rush as their belligerent younger cousins. Picture Of This Place confirms that thought, Tim right on the edge of the stage channeling his energy outwards and being met by a huge wave coming back at him, particularly where the song stops dead and then explodes back into glorious life before Andy joins him for the “root toot toot toot” ending. Even those around us who’d said they knew little of the new record lose themselves in it.”

Review: Jamie MacMillan at GigList.com

“‘Heads’ transforms this cavern into a full-on rave, the incredible trance-like middle section transcending the usual parameters of what a band of this longevity can do – before merging into ‘Stutter’ for an astonishing tribalistic meltdown, with the combination of three drummers and the duo of Adrian Oxaal and Saul Davies on guitars driving it to a ferocious crescendo. That dazzling musicianship from the rest of James is the perfect match for Booth who, whether it is taking long journeys through the crowd and over seats, or by crowd surfing halfway through the hall, proves impossible to tear the eyes away from.”

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk

“Stutter, a song written back in 1982, doesn’t feel out of place amongst all these songs that came three and a half decades later, the same kinetic energy radiates from its core, the percussion acting as a centrifugal force and the lights not allowing the audience’s attention to wander from what’s going on up on stage.”
