This is probably the earliest James live recording in circulation, with original guitarist Paul Gilbertson in the band and Larry Gott still performing the job as their guitar teacher (and possibly recording this gig). This show is a support slot for New Order, with whom the band had become friendly in Liverpool. It features James at their most wild and frantic. It also features the unreleased Discipline, We're On Fire and A Lovely Day For Life (which may, or not, be the end section of Vulture) and the live classic, but never studio released, Stutter that James resurrected on their recent December 2008 tour.

The second of two hometown shows from James' recent UK tour. The set features a smattering of tracks from their excellent 2008 comeback album Hey Ma, which has been criminally excluded from most 2008 best of lists, some of their greatest hits and a few gems from their back catalogue.
