h We ani•l!d at the Virgin MCIIISIOI"e earl)' ( lukewarm, possibly •.symptom of givinj: the tickets. ~ abo..r!UO)andfoundarathc: james Maida Vale 23rd March 1998 To promote the Best Of , James played five songs live for Radio 1 on Monday 23rd March . Jo Whiley's lunchtime social gave away 10 pairs of tickets to watch the session at Maida Vale studios. When we arrived we were told that James had already recorded 2 songs live to be aired later in the day. We were taken dOINn to the studio and onto a balcony overlooking the band. We watched the band run through rehearsal of the 3 songs they were to play, each time changing the style noticeably. lt was extremely interesting to see the interaction of the band, Saul agitating and encouraging the others They played a wild version of Bom Of Frustration live into the show and then during a 40 minute break Adrian, Mark, Michael and Tim jammed a new song, possibly called Maybe, a soulful . bluesy number which they recorded despite Saul tuning up defiantly over it. If this song and Run Aground are indicative of the new material James are writing, we can look forward to an immense album in the Autumn. Towards the end of Jo Whiley's show, they also played Sit Down and laid. Saul got excited about talk of a party with exotic dancers later that evening. Following the performance we were allowed a 'meet and greef session with the band to ask questions and get autographs and photos. We were amazed to discover the band hadn't seen the limited edition package. Tim told us about the play he is going to perform in at Bolton's Octagon Theatre and the treatment that he is having on his neck. Jim was ribbed for his support of Manchester City, unfortunately Tim had a doctors appointment and the rest of the band had to go and honour other commitments so this session wasn't as long as we would have liked. Thanks to Jo Tyler and Jo Whiley at the BBC for arranging for us to attend and review this session. contzol'.
