fumps Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I went to see The Jim Jones review last night. My giddy ant they were hard rocking guys. My ears are still ringing. The band were great players & brilliant showmen but the piano player was something else. Its a total shame this is going to be their last tour. A great band already gone, which is a real shame, they were a really awesome band. Quote
BigRedX Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0WtJ3RYlTo Saw them a couple of years ago and was much impressed. Would have gone to see this tour but they didn't come to Nottingham and the rest of the time I was too busy with my own band. Quote
discreet Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I was in a band with their drummer back in the day. He's bloody good. It is a shame they're packing it in, but the upside is the guitarist will have more time to spend on his parallel career as a promoter, so it's not all bad news. Quote
fumps Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Was a cracking night, although a gig is never the same when your drinking lemonade (school night & I was driving). I'm still semi deaf lol Quote

I'm still dumbstruck how people can be exposed to people playing music to that level & not be stood watching him. I would have missed my train lol Quote

JJR were on 6 Music not so long ago, and it was a real blast of fresh air. I watched that clip with a face-splitting grin and two Strummer legs, so thanks for posting it, Stu-khag. Quote

IzzyT2807 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I didn't know they were breaking up.... genuinely gutted! Saw them last year at the wardrobe in Leeds... they were out of this world Quote
Bassmonkey Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I was also at that gig Izzy. There again on Friday night for 9 Below Zero. Yee har Quote
IzzyT2807 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 they were awesome that night, only one wrong move that night. They did this really slow number at the end that just died on its arse but other than that they were fantastic Quote
bassbiscuits Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Good band - saw them a a few years back at a festival where i'd just wandered into their gig and BAM! They were frighteningly loud! Good stuff tho. Shame they're calling it a day. Quote
