New (Old) JIm James Solo Performance Video

[hazeyjane]

Hi Guys. Way back in 2001 I shot a video of Jim James performing a solo show in Bloomington, IN. I submitted it to the Community Access TV station there and they still play it from time to time. Well, a fellow Bloomington fan saw the video, emailed me about and I got to thinking that there are a lot of fans here who would like to see it. If you want more back story, see the thread in the "Music" section of this form called "Jim James in Bloomington last night (sort of). I'm so excited to share this with you all. I have hosted this video as "unlisted" on Google therefore you must use this URL to view; you cannot search Google. Let me know what you think and maybe I can get a copy of the actual video out to those who *really* want one.

Beautiful. If you have an original video dvd of this and/or have any way of upping to any torrent site so it's available for download, that would be the best.

Thanks!

I love Jim's performance of Dylan's I'll Be Your Baby Tonight.

Good stuff.

Thanks!

thanks so much for sharing.  I loved the video.  It seemed like Jim was performing for like 5 people.  pretty intimate.  The quality of the video and sound was much better than I was expecting.  Great to finally hear I'll Be Yr BB Tonite (as Jim spells it)!

Just one thing: I'm having a hard time finding the richie valens cover that is referred to in the credits.  maybe i just missed it.  if i did, could someone tell me exactly where in the video he plays that song?

He plays what sounds to me to be an early version of sooner before just because i do.  maybe that's it or maybe i just missed it.  

Thanks again!  and good work!

You're right.  It seems that the song is listed in the credits but does not appear in the film.

Correction.  I think you can here about 10 seconds of this song at the very beginning of the show.  He is singing a song during the opening credits.  Notice in particular when the title "Live at Space 101" fades to black.  You can here Jim scream, "Well," as in "well come on lets go."  Sorry, it doesn't look like the entire song is here.

You're right!  It's a real small snippet, I didn't catch it at first.  I wonder if the filmmaker has a more complete version of that song for the covers comp?  If only we knew how to get in touch with her...

Yes, the Richie Valens cover is so very short in the video but I needed to list it. I have the raw footage but have no clue where to look for it. Maybe one fine day it'll turn up. He probably played four or so songs that didn't make it on the video because the sound was too distorted.

That pick scrape blew me away.
