Review: Chris Mackinnon at Edinburgh Evening News

They’re not fans of the outdoor gig sound limiters, tonight lamenting that they have to alternate slow, quiet songs with their more raucous outings and also advising the crowd that they’re not allowed to sing along. Best of luck with that.

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk

Then the problems start. Jim’s bass is knackered and no amount of trying to fix it seems to work initially. Jim tells a few jokes to try and amuse us, the audience sing “Getting away with it” whilst they decide what to do. Saul suggests “an acoustic version of something and you’re not allowed to sing, let’s see what happens” as they strike up into Sit Down. It’s not immediately clear it is their best known song until Tim starts to sing and then everyone is joined in unison and one voice, with two fingers cocked to the decibel counters, apart from when the lyrics are changed to the original Rough Trade version mid-way through.

Review: Roman Gokhman at Riff Magazine

Booth jumped off the stage and then hopped from picnic table to picnic table before singing in a sea of fans who had encircled him. That song rolled right into James’ biggest hit, “Laid,” off 1993’s album of the same name. The energetic performance got most people up from their seats as Booth remained in the crowd.

Review: Shaun Astor at Tahoe Onstage

It was clear who attended [the co-headline tour] to see James, as a good portion of the audience members were on their feet, phones in the air while singing along to the group’s light-drenched renditions of their cerebral club rock. Singer Tim Booth would move in spastic motions beneath the strobes before climbing over the barrier from the stage and performing a final song, “Come Home,” while walking through the Grand Theatre’s aisles amidst the audience.

Review: Jason DeBord at RockSubculture.com

When you see a line-up of guitars on a rack, and members playing different instruments throughout, you know this is a group that is serious about musicianship and are truly ones to see live, as they were very much in their element on stage.

Review: Martin Alldred at Panic Manual

James came on first, and performed a set of material mostly from albums they have recorded since they reformed in 2007. They sounded tight and Tim Booth’s voice has not lost any of its power. It was disappointing to not hear more of the old favourites, “Come Home” being the only song they played from back in the day. It sounded fantastic, and only made it more disappointing that they didn’t play one or two more.

Review: EvenTheStars.co.uk

…during the set closer Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) Tim is joined on stage by an older chin-braided geezer in a straw pork pie hat who dances up a storm. The dam has been breached and soon a multi-generational and multi-gender crowd is up on stage dancing up a storm. As the tune finishes, Tim reminds the crowd that ‘it only takes one person to break through and make change’, and as we think about Greta Thunberg [the 16 year old Swedish climate change activist] and other new leaders, it is a good thought for all of us to take home and ponder before we start our new tomorrows.

Review EvenTheStars.co.uk

“James then crank it up for the romp through the final third act. Tim dives into the audience for How Was It For You? and is surfed aloft almost right round the King George’s Hall. Born Of Frustration provides more audience interaction as Andy pops up around the balcony like a manic trumpeting troubadour. And Attention is even better with the stronger drum beats that are the new band trademark.”

More Information & Reviews

James were supported by Peter Hook And The Light. James’s Tim and Jim turned up on stage to play Love Will Tear Us Apart during Hooky’s set.

Even The Stars

“With the release of remastered versions of Stutter and Strip-mine this week, it’s wholly appropriate that Johnny Yen gets played and it feels like welcoming back an old friend, but one that’s changed since you last met. It should have been a single way back in 1986 and it could have been a game changer, yet thirty one years on it feels as fresh as if it were a new song.”

James produced a unique T-shirt for the Castlefield gig, with each sale providing a donation to the Manchester Emergency Fund.

Even The Stars

This type of stage was made for James and tonight they deliver possibly the finest hometown show we’ve seen them deliver. There’s something for everyone in a set that spans the best part of three and a half decades from their Factory single Hymn From A Village, that still sounds as fresh and vital as it did when it came out through to a brand new song called Busted that is being played for only the second time and which makes us firmly believe that this is a band with years still left in their tank with their creative spark burning stronger than ever rather than dimming with age.

Manchester Evening News

…Nothing But Love has the crowds in raptures, many giving random strangers high fives and hugs, and up on the sloping grass upper-echelons of Castlefield Bowl the giddier kippers in their daisy t-shirts are near sliding up and down with joy.

Sounds

It’s hard to explain the ragged attraction of a James show to people who are used to polished and over-rehearsed slick performances or acts that rely on backing tapes, but it’s that knife-edge of excitement of knowing that a song the band have played a million times could fall apart any second that keeps the diehards coming back. It’s called live music; you should try it sometime.

James well and truly came home and whilst Booth sang the lyrics “I’m in awe of you” during ‘Of Monsters & Heroes & Men’ earlier in the evening, the bands set left a sold out Castlefield Bowl full of fans well and truly in awe of James.

Flick Of The Finger

Having attended a fair few James gigs over the years their ability to draw in a crowd as they perform is a joy to behold, I don’t think I have ever encountered a band who can layer up a song is such intricate layers that drag you some place new.

More Information & Reviews

Billed as the warm-up/debut gig of the Summer 2017 ‘Daisy Tour’, James cover hits, recent songs, as well as older archive material. Also included was the debut of two new songs that the band are still working on, named Busted and Overdose. A third new song, Trouble, was played at the fan VIP Soundcheck, but not at the gig itself.

Top Of The World was included as the last song on the setlist, but the support band overran, James hit the 11PM curfew, and it was dropped.
