James Tickets

Waited a long time for James to return to Canada. Flew to the show from Edmonton. Was well worth it. Tim engaged the audience and the band was amazing. Loved the venue as well. Hope that they have more dates the next time around.

James delivers another in a series of superior live concert experiences. Portland was better than Seattle which followed and Vancouver which preceeded it.

Absolutely mind blowing! a superb performance by a fantastic band. This is a band you must see before you die or before they call it quits, they are that good and they have got better with age. This gig was so good that on the Saturdayday we bought tix for the Seattle show and drove 3 hours there and 3 hours back again in the rain to see them again and it was well worth it!

From start to finish the show was awesome. Best show of 2010.

James delivered again - a solid performance, top flight entertainment with new songs and old. The band was in fine form; Tim dancing his heart out, Saul prowling the stage like a hungry tiger, Jim trying not to get carried away with the music, Larry beaming celestial joy during his solo pieces. Andy's trumpet carrying the band away and Dave as anchor. Mark, your keyboards are amazing and sometimes lost in the overall outburst of the music; that's a shame as they are a subtle element in some songs that gets overridden, unfortunately. The crowd was constrained by the venue - blue plush seats, very old Toronto. (My mother, now 90, used to come to this theatre - just saying) The evergy was not untrammeled, needless to say, but we did our best, and judging by the sound level, the cheers and hoots; Toronto, we did ourselves proud and gave back to the band as good as they gave us. A night of enthusiasm and keen pleasure - Oh, yes, Toronto, don't lket anyone tell you that you can't rock out! All you need is the right Svengali, and that is James.

Okay, I confess -- I didn't stay for James. I came to see Ed Harcourt, and he was utterly brilliant. Unappreciated, yes, but brilliant. This is a man with multiple albums of Grade A material, fine pop chops and clever-as-all-get-out lyrics singing his heart out, and half the audience was in the lobby getting plastered waiting for James to come on. Harcourt also did a totally entertaining job of simultaneously singing passionately, switching between guitar and keyboard leads, triggering loops and managing sound effects. And the man couldn't even get himself a spotlight when he asked for it! I would have stayed for the band most people came to see, but it would have been like Kraft Dinner after a trip to Morton's for sirloin. Nothing wrong with macaroni, but Ed Harcourt is the real musical meal.

Great show. First off Tim Booth walked down from the where we were sitting and sang "Sit Down" all the while slowly walking up to the stage and greeting fans. He hugged, he danced, and he was so nice. They played some songs of their new album, but played all the hits from their previous albums. When their big hit "Laid"was played he invited about 30 people up to stage to dance. He sang so perfectly. Great stage presence and such a moving performance.

James was better than ever!!! Not the middle-aged singer trying to relive his glory days like so many of the other concerts by eighties and nineties stars. Old favourites and quality new stuff as well.

This James concert "it inspires". Unbelievable stage presence, interaction with the crowd,light show, sound was fantastic. Great choice of songs as well. They played mostly older songs. Can't wait for them to be back in Toronto.

James is by far my favourite band to see live. They put on an excellent show. They engage the audience, they want you to let loose, to actually feel the music. It's an amazing expereince. All of the band members are incredibly talented. I didn't want it to end. Until next time, Thank you James :)
