The Gig!

December 11, 1999 was a special night, because not only did James return to Manchester for one top-notch, riproaring performance at the MEN Arena.  It was a special night in which, despite technical problems, James managed to outdo themselves yet again, and Tim Booth even took flight!  So, without further blathering about how great the gig was or how drunk we got afterwards, we'll simply show you a few of the pictures.

Now couldn't this have been taken at any James gig ever?  Give us a smile for a change Jimmy!

Is it us, or does Saul look like Satan?

Saul, faster than a speeding bullet.  Tim, drinker of large microphones.

We can be Status Quo if only we choreograph our guitar solos!

Ok, Tim, jump, but I ain't coming in after ya!
