James.
The best band ever (in my books).
I discovered them mid career and was immediately taken by the lyrics of Mr. Tim Booth. Laid, Seven and Whiplash were on constant repeat and although I don't have a voice that should be heard outside the shower, I sang every song like my walls were soundproof. Wanting nothing more than to see them live in concert, I waited for a North American concert listing...it never came. My sister and I discussed flying to Europe for a concert several times but sadly the budget would never allow. In 2001, came the announcement that Tim was leaving James and the band was no longer. Dark days, my friends...dark days. Knowing that somehow life would be different if only we could see the band play live, we sulked for 7 years straight. In 2008, the skies opened and the sun shone down. James was getting back together AND coming to Canada!! After cartwheels and hysterical cheering subsided, we bought tickets to two shows, one in Montreal and the other in Toronto. The venue was general admission so we went early to ensure spots close to the stage. What we didn't count on was FRONT FREAKIN' ROW. I'm talking draped across the stage (for both shows). The show. Was. Amazing. Afterwards we took 7 bottles of maple syrup around back of the venue thinking we might catch a glimpse of the band. Not only were 3 of the 7 hanging around out back but we got to chatting them up and after giving them their bottles of Canadian goodness, were then invited backstage to take pics with the rest of the band. HELLS BELLS. Seriously. A great night... the best and the following night we got to do it all over again. Anyway, it's been one year since that craziness happened and I thought I'd post some of the concert pics in celebration. Shot with only a point and shoot, many are fuzzy and out of focus but all really capture the feeling of the nights.
If you aren't familiar with James, check out "All Out To Get You"...it's perfect.
Went to see the newly reformed James tonight at Brixton Academy (I was initially irked at the reformation considering I was at the atmosphere-heavy final gig at Wembley.. but I got over it). They're just one of those bands for us, more than a safe bet, a certified classic. We have a lot of shared James memories and they've never disappointed us live. We'd see them every week given the opportunity. I didn't have such high hopes for tonight, but what we came away with was (via consensus... including one 17 year veteran of James gigs) the best James gig... evah! Really, the spirit they had on stage tonight, the relationship with the audience, the audience's reaction, the set-list, the smiles on their faces, even the new songs were something special. Came away with a glow.

Getting Away With It.
Tim Booth performing live in Istanbul at Refresh the Venue. After completing their performance, the crowd started cheering for more...
And they rewarded their fans with two of their greatest hits, Laid and Getting Away with It...
