James at House of Blues (Anaheim)

James played an excellent final US show in the somewhat surreal location of downtown Disneyland... Definately more energy than the San Diego show although still a little pedestrian in set arrangement in the middle third. The encore was the highlight with a runout for the baggy curio 'Gold Mother', the romantic 'Fred Astaire' and the sing-a-long 'Sometimes' with support band Unkle Bob joining the festivities...

Went to the after show but was happy to take a back seat and vicariously experience the joy of our friends Carlos, Sarah, and Cynthia (all James freaks...) meeting their heros...
