Notes: The quality, setlist, and performance is great except that the wind blowed hard sometimes, that remember me that I need to buy some windshields for my mics.
In preparation for their Oct 2011 Orchestral tour, James along with arranger/conductor Joe Duddell enlisted the help of the Manchester Consort to try out some of the initial arrangements. The footage here is from an early run through in July 2010 at the Powell Theatre, Salford University, in front of a small group of family and friends. Enjoy.

Notes: Having missed both James' portuguese shows at proper venues last year, I welcomed the news that James would be back for another show here, albeit in a less ideal setting - another student festival. This is the second time they played this particular festival, and this show was vastly superior to the first one, setlist wise, performance wise. Tim was a bit annoyed about the late hours the show took place, having complained about it in the middle of the show. It was an overall angry show, lots of raw energy, with several members joining David on percussion duties during a few songs. Tim even filled in for Mark on keyboards while he drummed during a wall-of-noise rendition of Stutter, making for the highlight of the show (along with Jam J). Waltzing Along was meant to be played before Come Home, but was cut due to time constraint issues. Laid had right to the now traditional stage invasion, putting an end to one of the best James shows I've ever seen. Some loud parts sound a bit saturated and distorted (mainly It's Hot), due to my preamp battery being not so fresh (should've replaced it, I know...). To make up to this, the crowd was very respectful, making this tape probably my most enjoyable to listen to date.

James have been invited to help Portugal's largest radio group, Rádio Renascença, celebrate it's 75th anniversary at a one-off event tonight which will see them perform a very special set with the highly acclaimed Beiras Philharmonic Orchestra
Not only does the concert James is 75 years of the Renaissance, but the British band is one of three strong names that will be headlining. Go play with the Orchestra of Beiras, as Rui Veloso and Dulce Pontes. Speaking to the Renaissance, before the show, revealed first-hand that are even thinking of doing a tour with choir and orchestra.
