His best stage performance ever. Full stop.

(from there to the beginning of Overture 1928)

He stayed on stage during the instrumental section of Metropolis?!

His dance during Overture

EDIT: At the Helsinki show in 2007 James' pants reportedly cracked and when he came back on stage during Blind Faith, he was wearing a towel. I can't find the video where he acknowledges this during the verse of the song, but you can see the towel on him in this clip.

Yeah, I was there. He had the towel only in Blind Faith. It was quite weird because he didn't say anything about it, I heard it later from somebody.

But really, that video!! This is the only video I have seen where JLB is on the stage the whole instumental sections, Metropolis and Overture 1928. This is also the only video where James is so full of power and energy, I liked it! Just wondering if he didn't have any place to go during the instrumental sections in that gig or if he only had the best evening ever! 

The stage is quite big in that venue, so there was definitely plenty of space for him to go. I would just say that he was having the time of his life!

On the Six Degrees tour, they had a little percussion area set up on stage where James would go during the instrumental sections to play tambourine or shakers or whatever.

I'd like to see him on one of those mini-stages Transatlantic had for Daniel Gildenlow

I remember seeing a video where he says something like "I cracked my fucking pants!", but I can't find it on YT anymore.

"You like the fucking towel?"

Oh, I have missed this! Thanks anyway!

This thread contains so much goodness. James is a  hero

[DebraKadabra]

He sure is.

Also be sure to check his signature stage running with a cloak:

Also, he unbelievably stays out for most of Overture 1928 to dance, and even starts directing the chants of the crowd at some point!

There has to be a story behind this show. This is just absurd!
