i am definitely going now. very excited for this show. its rare that i want to see both the opener and the headliner. it's been at lest 5 or 6 years since i've seen ed harcourt.
James - 9/27
RIGHT YOU LOT! If you haven't already buy your ticket for James tonight or I will come to your house and pee in your rosebushes!
Seriously, even if you've never heard of this band you will be a convert after seeing them live….just ask Kosmo and the like.
(Do you think I have a career as a concert promoter?)

Kosmette and I are super psyched about this show, even sprung for the VIP tickets.
I had forgotten about this show but am now going.
Hoping it's as good as y'all say!

I could rub salt in the wound by saying where we had preshow fish and chips :)
Short attention span review.
Great show with a setlist geared towards the diehard fan, with deep cuts reaching back to the beginning of their career. Several high points including Tim and a guitarist doing the beginning of "Sit Down" while walking through the crowd from the back of the club. Gonna have to say that the last show was a tad better if only because "Hey Ma" was a really powerful performance.
The pre show mini-concert was just a real treat, four songs and a chance to hear the band doing a bit of chit chat with the fans.

Definitely better last time, but this one had a few great moments. Looks like DC got a longer setlist than Boston (I read they had technical difficulties throughout the show and they only did 17 songs).
Kosmo, what did they play at sound check?
Far be it from me to complain about the show last night, but I do wish they had played a few more newer songs off of Hey Ma and the new double album. Last night's show didn't have the energy the show in 2008 had, mostly because they stuck to their more jammy material, but hey, I'll take a 2hours+ show from James anytime.
Here is my interview with Tim Booth on DCist in case anyone missed it:

Thanks Kosmo for the setlist!
Really good show last night. It had it's moments but their 2008 show set the bar too high. The mood was not exactly the same. I actually thought the crowd took a little while to get into it. But hey! I couldn't go home more satisfied. I left the club with a smile on my face.

They didn't play Hey Ma in Lauderdale either…I wonder if they're skipping that one because if it's anti-war/political views? That would've been the only song I was bummed they didn't play. They didn't do 'sit down' either in lauderdale but I've heard them sing that live so many times it wasn't missed.
Is it just me who is in awe of Saul and his instrumental skills?

The four song listed as the mini concert were done at the soundcheck.
Destiny calling was quite the treat. The last two songs were to get the choir rehearsed.
While some of us were waiting to gain early entry, Tim was going into his bus and said "the band is crap"
Show was taped here because of their fond memories of the last show here.
And at the end of the show the band looked exhausted
