Age is more than just a number.
by James Groupie on 2025-03-03Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonRating: 4 out of 5We LOVE Mr James, we go to every concert brought to town and areas surrounding. He's never disappointed.
This show, my husband was ready to leave after hearing his favourite song, National Steel, which Mr. James lead the concert with. The feel of the concert was dissociated. and disconnected. I didn't feel the plugged in feeling as per usual. I saw Mr. James strain to remember words, and figure out where his place is on stage. My personal favourite song Into the Mystic, usually can move me to goosebumps, but this time left me numb and wanting.
The audience was full of ADHD humans that had something put in their Koolaid. I've never been interrupted so many times in my life, just to let people out so they can feed their inability to pay attention to something longer than 30 secs. I stood in the aisle more than my seat.
We did leave after Into the Mystic, I had enough of the audience effect.
We are hoping concerts go the way of live streaming tickets. So we can stay home, and try to enjoy the artist, and not be effected by the audience games.
I hope that Mr. James, finds a break to regenerate, and truly heal from his accident in September. He's had no healing time. Can't push the machine when it's not in top condition.
We wish him continued success, & it's time to ground self and heal.
We will see him at his next concert!
