james - live - 1990 

No one underrates them

Been uploaded many times

I was there as well, my first ever gig 15 years old, saw them last year and they are just as good now as they were then.

I was with you. you and 9,999 others!

I feel the same way as you. James one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager and I still love them. I also had two other favorite bands at the time. U2 and Simple Minds. Simple Minds is still very active to this day, they keep getting better. I'm Hungarian, but I've always been a fan of British music. The British people have no rivals in popular music, that's my opinion.

James Lasts....

Parr Hall was boss.

Totally agreed on that one .

He hasn't has he!

@@mattjammy9884 What alarms me is the 18/19 year old youngsters in the front row; they're all nearly 50 now. I wonder what they think when they watch this?

@@jonnyfrench19 I commonly think the same when I waych old live gigs especially the ones I was at and I'm 47 and still attend gigs when there's not a pandemic on! been doing it since 1990 :)

@@mattjammy9884 You were very lucky to have been there: I wish I could have seen James in their live glory days.

@@jonnyfrench19 I saw james on their millionaires tour. Was at Reading 91 when James headlined. For some reason I found myself in the camp sight with some girls sitting around a camp fire with the sound of James playing government walls and how was it for you on the mainstage clear as a bell....should've got off me arse and went!!!.....

First saw James 1990 g.mex Manny (stunning) and still r

16:47

It's such an inspired and inspiring cover. They manage to pay homage to the original song, and the Velvets generally, but make the song their own, and even kind of add a bit of live sampling there at the end! It's glorious.

Are you on the video?

Started to listen to James when I was 14 I'm now 42 and still loving them best band to come out of Manchester since the Roses that's my opinion anyway 😂

Been listening to James 20 plus years still going strong best British band ever

I was at Leeds gig booth and diagram ended up in balcony walking through the crowd one of the most amazing gigs ive ever seen

bold statment...certainly the most underrated....I always wondered why they never conquered America and then learned about the burglary that fucked up their early tour that was about to do it. Survivers...always conquered me with their seductive touching melodies and Tim's pleasant voice.

Let’s not go nuts now.

I was there also never seen you. Where about's was you😊

Remember the t-shirts with the flower on front and come on the sleeve. Come as in "Come Home'.

They were from Leeds not Manchester, a common misconception.

@@simonwhitehead5757 yes Tim Booth was born in Bradford, original members Larry Gott was from Manchester, Jim Glennie was born in Moss side Manchester and Gavan Whelan of Irish descent but grew up in Manchester, The original James four piece line up were formed in Whaley Range Manchester and rehearsed in Manchester rehearsal studios from the beginning, I worked as part of there sound crew as technician and guitar technician for many years. Sure Tim was born in Yorkshire but they have always considered themselves as a Manchester band as primarily three quarters of the original lineup were from Manchester and formed in Manchester. It doesn’t really matter anyway if they all were from Yorkshire, Manchester, Outer Mongolia or Timbuktu, they are are great Northern band that have written some classic songs over the last 40yrs and still doing it now and have stood the test of time in the music industry entertaining the world. Also it’s funny how when they played the James Come Home Gig at G-MEX Manchester on the 8th December 1990, self titled by themselves as their homecoming gig, make of that what you please 🙏🏽 Yes Tim Booth was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, that you are correct 👍🏻

thank you that you have been part of this great crowd! :-)

I loved his moves 😂 😂 😂

And the connection with James is.....?🤔

The fifth song is Sunday Morning by the Velvet Underground ✌️🤟✌️🤟✌️😎😎😎

It’s the album with a banana on the front cover obviously James loved them 😊

@@juliebrownless2102 Bananas?

James must like bananas check out Laid album cover all of the band members are eating bananas 🤟🤪🇬🇧😎✌️🤣🤡

Sound wasn't released till November 1991.....

It was the dance don’t see that anymore 💃🏻❤️🥰

86 🤦🏻‍♀️ I mean

Definitely 90, either the 4th or 5th December, my first ever gig, gives me goosebumps watching it now.

Ahem , there's audio here mate ! Go to cnet download.com , get a free video/mp3 down-loader and away you go. I`m downloading the audio only right now so I can listen to it on whatever mp3 player whenever I like

Años luz por encima de U2

I have a bootleg cassette but have never seen any film. Shame

They have been around since 1984/85 but got there fame early 90s love em

@@christopherday8551 Kewl! Quite a show!

@@christopherday8551 Oh OK, I looked them up. Got big with the Madchester thing. OMG so many great bands then, I didn't know about any of them until about six months ago. Now I just bought me a Reni cap.

@@klausrain111 haha. You've got some good music to discover. I was at his concert...I'd been following James since 1985. This was like a farewell to the 80's James and the birth of the new James. I preferred the 80's James so this was kind of like a farewell concert for me. I never really bothered with them after that. They had a big hit in the 90's in the US with a song called Laid that was featured in the American Pie movie.

@@mana3735 Thanks man! Looking forward to it. Seems that what I'm doing now is connecting with a lot if great stuff I missed out on, for one reason or another, back in the day. I have always liked a lot of great bands, but I didn't have time to check them all out. In college it was easy, I and most of my friends were always getting cutting edge music, so that's how I heard a lot of stuff I didn't buy. Also the radio. Do they even have good rock stations now?

Government Walls

It was supported by Radiohead!

I'm thinking of 1993, you are right 1990 was That Petrol Emotion
