Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Beautiful Beaches is euphoric, a song that few bands in their fifties and sixties could create. Powerful, uplifting and joyous, despite the undertones of the lyrical content and concluding with eleven of the thirteen on stage turning, mostly kneeling and watching Dave and Debbie’s drum outro with the same wonder as the rest of us. They finish on Laid, way after curfew, a devil-may-care romp that feels on the edge of imminent breakdown that encapsulates the band and the live experience in a three minute pop song.”

Review: Steve Adams @ What’s On Live
“And as for the setlist, we got most of the heavy hitters we wanted to hear. There was no Come Home or Ring The Bells, but the likes of Waltzing Along, Born of Frustration, Five-O, Say Something and Sometimes (Lester Piggott) more than compensated. Those last two got the biggest singalongs of the night but the most enthusiastic receptions were saved for Sit Down (ironically the first song to really get everyone on their feet) and the mercurial Laid, which makes for a terrific finale to any evening.”

Review: Laura Dean @ God Is In The TV Zine
“Unusually for a band who play arena tours, James have a tendency to mix things up with their set lists to keep things fresh, and they aren’t even afraid of stopping a song if there’s a mistake – this all makes for a unique experience for each audience and presumably keeps things interesting for the band, so it’s a great approach that’s still working for them after all this time. There’s no-one quite like them and they show no signs of slowing down.”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“The buzz in the room is electric as the lights go up. It’s rare for James to play a show this small these days, their June 2024 show is at the mammoth O2, 10 times the size of this. They make those arenas feel intimate, but tonight you could see the whites in their eyes, smell the intensity of the performance and revel in the fact that it could all coming crashing down in an instant. The song choice might have been more straight-forward than usual, but this band is all about the delivery of them. And that was as unpredictably unpredictable as ever.”

Review: David Brown @ Even The Stars
“Tim takes himself down to the audience, much to the initial shock of security, and lifts himself up on to the barrier, first during Born Of Frustration where he risks getting whacked on the head by an inflatable penis that’s held aloft near the front for most of the set and then during Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) where he dives headlong in to crowdsurf. He’s not carried as far back as he’d usually be but it’s accompanied by a huge roar as those further back see it on the big screen. Sit Down and Laid in particular have the crowd bouncing and as they finish with Sound and Andy stands aloft on the monitors as Dave and Debbie’s drums combination bring the song to a powerful finale, it feels like they’ve convinced much of the crowd that they’re a bit more than one of those bands their parents used to listen to and the two or three songs they might have known beforehand.”

Review: Scott Ancliffe @ Yorkshire Post
“Manchester-rockers James also had a standout set with enigmatic front man Tim Booth crowd surfing and climbing the barricade to serenade the fans. Classic hits Sit Down, Laid and Born of Frustration were all crowd pleasers.”
