Love Hearts - The Gig Set Lists!

[debris4spike]

James always writes out his set lists, and then gives the sheet to someone - so I have managed to track down the 2 lists, so that I can complete my write up .... plus share with any fans who want to know.

Day 1

Louise
London City
Looking at You
Moonshot
Don't worry Son
Birth of the Blues
Too Fast
All that She Wanted
Katie
For what I need
Poor Robyn
Goodbye
Layabout
Civilized Man
Angel
Dangerous
 ~~~
Smile
Vandals
Finer Than Gold


Louise - It is a great song, and I especially love him commenting on the girl in question - I shouls imagine that he likes singing this live in England for that reason alone.  A great first song.
London City - As most of you know, my favourite sone ... even if it makes me want to jump up on the stage and give him a hug ... I restrained myself!
Looking at You - The first time I heard this live was 2 years ago at Union Chapel, and I had walked up to the front to take some pictures ... and yes he did look at the camera, so this always makes me smile.
Moonshot - He again commented on his YouTube and on Sullivan, who he said had great talent, but hadn't learnt to write words yet! 
Don't worry Son - He told us that once when driving back to see his son after a long week of shooting buffy he had fallen asleep and ended up in a field ... "Black dogs after midnight" was refering to that tiredness. 
Birth of the Blues - Not one of my favourites, although I did enjoy hearing it this time ... maybe i will grow to love it as much as I do the rest of his sonsg! 
Too Fast
All that She Wanted - One of those songs i like, for no other reason than I like it! 
Katie - He said that the girl he fancied, who he thought was gay ... but he had later met the girls husband, who commented on the song!  I love one line in it about her wearing long sleeves to cover tattoos ... I used to know a really weird  guy who always wore a long sleeved shirt (even when he was meant to wear a uniform polo shirt) ... so it made me wonder if he was tattooed! 
For what I need - When I first heard the song on the CD I was unsure about it - but hearing it live is another matter - he admits he loves singing "naughty" songs. 
Poor Robyn 
Goodbye - I think this was the first time i had heard this live. 
Layabout  - I heard this first soon after he had written it for Patricia, when they were both in Cardiff while he was filming Torchwood.  A great song.
Civilized Man - A song that has slowly grown on me, especially aftre hearing him siong it live. 
Angel
Dangerous - I loved this song the first time I heard it on the GotR CD, and still love it now. 
 ~~~
Smile - One of the ones I find hard to listen to, although I like it.  But someone pointed out to me, when I said that last year, that it's because I have never been in love ... now I get the song much better! 
Vandals - His  first song.  he seems to change the words of the last verse each time i hear it to fit in with what everyone is doing nowadays! 
Finer Than Gold - I love this song, but find it very sad.

Aw, I'm glad you had such a fab time \o/

[debris4spike]

Yes - a truly great weekend ... I'm still buzzing

[kudagirl.livejournal.com]

I know how you love London City. Pleased you got to hear it twice. I think I've told you that Don't Worry Son has special meaning for me. I love it so. I also love Up On Me.

In The Garden is one of his naughty songs I like. So he didn't sing it?

Surprised he sang Too Fast. That's the song he refused to sing at Dragon*Con due to Eliza. Maybe they are past what ever was going on or just because he was out of the country.

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

In the Garden is Look at Me :)

And he sang it

Debris well done for tracking the set lists down

Finer Than Gold is great but I missed Fall Of Night

[debris4spike]

Oh yes - Fall of Night is my second favourite ... it's a beautiful song.

[debris4spike]

Oh - didn't know the story about Too Fast!!!

Yes, I thought of you when he sang Don't Worry Son!

[strikske.livejournal.com]

Nice to get the set list. I couldn't remember every song that he sang. Do you know in what song he wistled?

[debris4spike]

It helped that I knew that there were the 2 sheets of paper - and who had got one of them, just had to find out where the other went ... and turned out I knew both the ladies, one really well, so they sent me a scan of them both.

I know he always whistles in one - Angel, I think ... I will try to concentrate ... you may get a 2nd answer if I re-think that!!

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

He whistles in Dangerous

[debris4spike]

Thanks Deb - funny thing is I thought it was Dangerous (must mhave known it was one off that album) ... but thought it was on the more mellow of the 2 songs!

BTW - It was strikskes first visit to a James gig!

[deborahw37.livejournal.com]

Awww!!! I love it when new people come to see a James \0/

[debris4spike]

Yes, that's why I thought I would tell you - she came from Holland, as well, just for the one evening!

"I had walked up to the front to take some pictures ... and yes he did look at the camera, so this always makes me smile."

Guh... What a perfect moment to remember!!! :)

[debris4spike]

Yes, that song is really special for me now!

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Oh I see that I forgot Louise and Moonshot in the list I gave you yesterday!
Thanks for posting both set lists; I enjoyed Not Fall Down it was the first time I listened to it live and I thought it was great.

[debris4spike]

Yes, it was a great song ...as deborahw37 said the one missing for her (and for me) was Fall of Night.

[idlesloth.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for posting this. I was there on saturday concert only, and it was great but I had such bad James Fog that afterwards, when I tried to write down which songs he'd played, I could only remember about half of them, so it's great to have the list! I love Finer Than Gold and wish it was available somehow, even on YouTube in a shaky version, as it is so lovely. Fall of Night would have been a joy, too. Also, IHMO James's version of Tom Waites's Chocolate Jesus is The Version. When I asked him last year if he'd sing it that night (this was at The Drill hall day thing) he said no, he didn't sing other people's songs any longer. Which I understand but when he said it makes him realise that Tom's a much better writer than he is, I was horrified and blurted out But You're a much better singer! Anyway, I guess he has so many of his own these days.

Thanks for posting

[debris4spike]

It took me a bit of tracking down - but one of the lists was given to a friend, so that was a start!

I do love the song Finer than Gold ... I just find it very sad!

Yes, I love Chocolate Jesus, and Picture in a Frame, which he sang 2 years ago ... I suppose he has enough beautiful songs without having to worry about copyright. I missed Fall of Night, as I love that, but maybe things are great with him and Patricia at present, so he didn't want to sing it.

Glad you enjoyed reading.
