James performing Getting Away With It (All Messed Up) with Orchestra 22 conducted by Joe Duddell & Manchester Inspirational Voices Gospel Choir live at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 17th May 2023.
My first James gig at the age of 58. Where have I been? Absolutely blown away with the peformance. More of a spiritual experience than a gig and not in a bad way. Fantastic. Now looking forward to the show in Halifaxe in July.
Beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. I heard them across the Mersey when they played the Pier Head in Liverpool and I've regretted not seeing them live in the past, ever since. I will not make that mistake again. Thankypu for sharing ❤
For me, there have been so many amazing Manchester bands and comparison is futile but the longevity, continual reimagination and back catalogue put James ahead and the band gets nowhere near enough credit. How good is Tim Booth.
I have a complicated relationship to this song. How many songs can you say that about? I hate one line because I misheard it and I still think my wrong version is better. I hate these two verses until the last line which is searingly beautiful. James always makes me feel but this song makes me feel so many contradictory things all at once.
