Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like so many bands before them, JAMES were just to damn good for the average, American record-buyer. Musically and lyrically, they are, without a doubt, one of the finest bands of the 90's (though they emerged in the 80's, they really hit their stride in the early 90's).
This concert, in their hometown of Manchester, was taped on the last night of their final tour with lead-singer, Tim Booth. What you will see here is a tremendously talented group of musicians performing highlights from an extremely impressive catalog of songs.
Everyone knows "Laid," but it is some of the other gems here that really are worth checking out. In fact, if tracks like "Say Something," "Sometimes," "Vervaceous," "Out to Get You," "She's a Star," and "Getting Away with It," (too name just six!) fail to shock, amaze and move you all at once, then something is just not right with you (either that or you hit the mute button by accident!).
The bonus features are pretty impressive too! In addition to the videos for "Laid," "Say Something," and "She's a Star," we are treated to an entertaining and informative Behind-the-Music-esque documentary on the band.
As I mentioned, this concert was the emotional farewell to lead singer Tim Booth who left to pursue other interests. His smooth, passionate voice and charismatic stage personality will be sorely missed. As for what happens to the rest of the band, only time will tell. One hopes that a group of musicians this talented can continue on. And in the event they don't, at least we have this DVD to serve as a reminder of just how amazing they were.
