Finally this amazing live act will be releasing a Blu-ray, Live at the Acropolis arrives January 31st, 2025, on a variety of formats including a 2CD+Blu-ray set with Dolby Atmos.

Live at the Acropolis captures the band’s unforgettable live performance at the historic Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an open-air amphitheater beneath the Acropolis in Athens. Recorded on the 10th of July, 2023, this album transports listeners to that magical night, where James along with along with a 22 piece orchestra conducted by Joe Duddell and an 8 piece choir, delivered a powerful set against the backdrop of ancient history.

BluRay contains the full concert film, produced and directed by Chris Atkins.

Filmed on 16 cameras in glorious 4k and mixed in Dolby Atmos, Tim Booth said of the film "Athena smiled on us, Chris Atkins and his film crew captured the moment and collectively, we did it. In this gig the band, choir and orchestra become one. Magic in a bottle."

It sounds like you’ll be waiting on the used market, the 2CD/BD set appears to be exclusive to the James store.

I have been waiting since 2001 for a new James live release to get excited about and haven’t spent a lot of money on James because they rarely ever play in NA - so for me it was easy to pull the trigger on day one lol. Less money than I spent on the SDE releases.

James is one of my all time faves though, so there’s that.

James has sold over 25 million records yet seems hardly any of us, including me, have even heard of him before this thread!

Them; James is a band. The singer’s name is Tim Booth, who has had a respectable solo career during James’ break from 2001-2008 and also appeared in Batman Begins as an escapee from Arkham.

While most in NA may not have heard of them, a sizeable chunk will know the song Laid from 1993.

Brian Eno produced a batch of their albums - including “Laid”.
