James - 9/27

[Frank Gallagher]

One of the most underrated bands to ever grace a stage.....
Anyone who doesn't go to the show is a complete tosser and missing out on probably the best show this year!
I'm looking forward to Ft. Lauderdale this Monday.
Their new album (The Morning After) is now available in the states.....BUY IT!

Hey Mankie!

Kosmette and I are super psyched about this show, even sprung for the VIP tickets.   Last time through town I went in a causal fan and left a convert.  One of the best shows I've seen of late.  Kinda bummed they aren't doing two nights, because they strike as the type of band which are worth seeing multiple times...

I just jizzed my pants.  A little.

[homeboy]

any James fans getting together somewhere in DC prior to show? Would love to join and celebrate the SECOND visit by the band in TWO years!!!!

My friend is coming down from Michigan for the show.  Super excited to see them for the first time!

[lagas]

I was there in '08 and will be there next Monday...

if i am in town, i will be there. looking forward to seeing ed harcourt as the opener too. it's been a few years since i've last seen him.

Culture Room, Ft. Lauderdale - James as sharp and professional as ever and seem to be really enoying their second lease on life. Probably the best James gig I've seen. Culture Room about 1/4 the size of 930 so quite the 'intimate evening with James' as Tim Booth announced at the start of the show.

Set list was a nice mix of very old / brand new songs, so it's not a "buy our new album tour"

I wanna go. Hoping tix available at door if I make it.

If I had the luxury of time and funds I would drive up to Orlando to see them again tonight..then fly up for the 930 show next week, but reality tells me otherwise unfortunately.

I turned a friend onto them last year and when my wife was unable to come along I begged, coerced, threatened her to drive from Clearwater (4+ hours) to come with me. She reluctantly agreed but thanked me at the end of the show for 'making' her come along. She's a die-hard DMB fan but admitted james are a better live band, which is saying something evidently, having never seen DMB live.

[bearman🐻]

Wait...you're friends with a die-hard DMB fan?

[vansmack]

I know.  I feel like I don't even know him any longer...

[Frank Gallagher]

Hot chicks get a pass!

[James Ford]

This James will take a pass on that James, but if it takes a James to get Mankie back on board, I say god bless that James.
