Comments: In Plymouth so I can see them. Entrance in darkness except Tim wearing the pig mask with spikey hair dancing to the Come Home chorus (like at Exeter Uni in 1997). Man, that's a surreal experience and one which introduced me to the joy of James. |

Comments: Unfortunately, I have only had the opportunity to see James once, and that was in 1992. Considering that it is now 1999, their grip on me has been pretty secure. I had a ticket for a concert in Dublin but it was cancelled due to Tim's neck injury. I hope to see them again soon playing all the tunes that they have released since. We can but live in hope. Their live set is unbelievable...full of energy!! Tim's voice being absolutely supreme. |

Comments: I'm only 14 and I have never been to a James concert before, but they never really played anywhere close to where I live, and since I can't drive then it is really hard to see distant shows. I really want to see a James show live. |

Comments: James should never play "Sit Down" again -- it was great in 1990, but now even my mother knows the song and it's getting a bit tedious. |
