Jim James 4/17/13 Louisville, KY @ Brown Theatre – Regions of Light and Sound of God

Jim James - Louisville

On Wednesday night, Jim James began the tour for his Regions of Light and Sound of God album here in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky at the historic Brown Theatre. His 38 minute solo album was expanded into a 75 minute live opus with a dazzling light show and 15 foot tall animated puppet monsters. He encored with 2 classic My Morning Jacket tunes solo on guitar (Bermuda Highway and a particularly moving version of Wonderful (The Way I Feel) that devolved into scat yodeling), Dear God, and 3 rocking Monsters of Folk songs and a New Multitudes song. The highlights for me though were the extended Pink Floyd-ish instrumental passages on several of the songs from his new album. At times it felt like Live at Pompeii, just without the howling dog.

Notes: Sold out Forecastle Festival aftershow on the Belle of Louisville steamboat, which did not leave dock. The show occurred Saturday night / Sunday morning from 1:30am to 2:40am. Pres Hall playing 6 or 7 tunes before Jim James joined them, but I did not record those. The boat was just too crowded for me to get up front for a video view, so I held my microphone & video camera directly in front of the extra set of speakers near the middle of the room for a direct pull from the left speaker, which avoided much of the crowd noise.
