April 2024, im now 50, and this is still my favourite song. I hear the opening line and my heart bursts open ❤🎉 Makes me smile BIGLY every single time 😁😁😁
I'm a 48yr old metalhead and this is still in my opinion 1 of the best, coolest fucking songs of all time. I think it's time I checked out their other stuff.
Great statement mate... its not about the metal... but the harmony fella!!As a lad I was a "mod" my Brother a "biker". Quietly id listen to his motorhead while he was out lol.
I can guarantee you put this song on any pub jukebox and watch the mood of the the people change .It has never failed me yet . Let's get the party started !!
You got this Erin..James has gotten me through many rough patches..His voice lifts me..I am a classic 60-70 rocker..James can crosses me over to the joy of his music..
I bought it on a sampler, I never heard this song and I did´nt know James! And now: I put the CD in my car player and I heard it about 50 times on my way from Berlin to Oldenburg. For this concert I would have payed 1000 €, without any doubt! A wonderful audience, a lot of happy people!
2:51 I am a gay man and in the moment I felt in love, unfortunately unhappy and just only from my side. This guy looks like Tim Booth! But when I hear this song and see the people and him dancing, it gives me a smile!! To watch this video makes me happy! Tim Booth has so much charisma!
So PURE HAPPINESS! Tim can heal just with his positive energy, his wonderful smile, his ability to bring some pure childish joy to people;) Thank you, JAMES, Great band, Outstanding Frontman.
If ever im feeling a bit down i watch this video, it always cheers me up, loads of people living the moment, having a fantastic time and a brilliant song to boot. love it. 😊🎉❤
Hi there one and alI, I must have seen this performance over a hundred times. I usually forget about it for a while and then randomly come across it again in my library, let out a whoop, pump the air, smile and enjoy! I don't watch, I absorb all that's going on. Watching everyone's raw emotions and inhibited interactions throughout just illustrates how 'feel good' this is. I feel awesome every time I see it........I always try and imagine how they all felt being part of that....if asked afterwards, what adjective would they use to describe their feelings....better one than awesome I suspect. One love.
Your music takes me away to a place i used to love to be when i was sharing special time with that special girl....this guys voice is just carries a very heppy overtones....
I remember this. I lost track of time and missed nearly the whole set, and rushed back in time to see this from the back of the field. It was magical from there, and still is even on my phone 5 years later.
I have a great big smile and goosebumps on my face you see all those lucky people on the stage they are all GEN X you will never see another era of people doing this James are legendary ❤
The beautiful girl onstage with James, the blond one with flowers in her hair wearing tiny denim shorts, is my niece Lauren. This was her hen party - she is getting married to Matt next month! I am so proud!
i never knew this was such a popular song in the UK, i played on guitar here in argentina in a singalong night with some british tourists in an apartment full of drugs. i tough it was a forgotten britpop gem
I remember a guy attending class in 1993 in a dress exactly the same as on the James album cover, Pomona College literature course on James Joyce with Prof. Brian Stonehill. That was a thing for a brief time in the 90s.
The thought of this happening again literally makes me so happy I can't even put it into words. These people are LOVING life and everyone was about it.
Best era ever...this shows the best side of humanity...the unity and love we have for each other when we let our hair down and relax and forget about politics etc... James always make me feel so happy and I have many find memories attached to there music... My favourite tho has to be my daughter when she was just a 5 year old singing thus song out aloud in her bedroom... SHE ONLY CUMS WHEN SHES ON TOP!!!! Lol...so funny...she had no idea what it meant back then but me and her mother used to kill ourselves laughing... The world is changing so much now and we are in the grip if corona virus on lockdown 4 weeks into it and music is the only way through it for me.... I sure hope to God that we see gatherings like this again...I am 52 this month 2020 May...and I still can't wait for a good festival...we never grow old spiritually and music keeps us all together in harmony and ling may it continue..
from Barcelona, your message thrills me ... this virus we will all overcome it together and soon we can meet to hear things like this ... thanks James .. I'm happy to hear you ...
@@miwilly08 Thank you so much...i am so glad my message made you smile...there is not enough love in the world due to psycopath politicians causing wars.. Its time people pulled together and unified... God bless
Didn't know James sang thing this. Even more 2 like them for. Very underrated band. But oh so good love em. Let's hope we can get back 2 concerts like this sometime soon fingers crossed

Same
60 an still grooving on it. 🕶️
this is the most positive song and performance in music history
Always play the best of James while travelling to the British Grand Prix
Hear James and think of Silverstone
Great memories 50 also,teenage days full of fun
Now that is how you play live!!! James were so lucky to have that drummer, the guy is legendary!!!!!
I'm a 48yr old metalhead and this is still in my opinion 1 of the best, coolest fucking songs of all time. I think it's time I checked out their other stuff.
Yessir, and I'm 50
Start with tommorrow
start with hymns from a village ( early stuff ) and go from there.
Great statement mate... its not about the metal... but the harmony fella!!As a lad I was a "mod" my Brother a "biker". Quietly id listen to his motorhead while he was out lol.
@@graemepae100 God Bless Lemmy and may he Rest in Peace
The guy in the black coat was absolutely dancing like nobody was watching and I love it !
I agree!
Absolutely brilliant, such a fun song, watching in 2024
I can guarantee you put this song on any pub jukebox and watch the mood of the the people change .It has never failed me yet . Let's get the party started !!
Do jukeboxes even exist anymore,bur totally agree 😊
A jukebox in a pub is everything. If I walk in a pub with the jukebox blasting out i know I’ll stay there. Not a chance if the big screen sport is on.
So true
I would love to be on that stage. One of the most underrated band of the 90s
This gives me the will to keep living on this Earth......
🌎❤😎
Hang in there
You got this Erin..James has gotten me through many rough patches..His voice lifts me..I am a classic 60-70 rocker..James can crosses me over to the joy of his music..
God I hope we can all do this again soon
The human race will go before live music will, somehow. Because Keith Richards will still be here. :) (Rock N Roll Cryptkeeper)
This is the biggest thing making me depressed over Covid, no live music or gigs. 😔
James was my last concert before COVID. I am so looking forward...!
@@tobarragl hang on in there good times are coming
This video defines the meaning of fun! Boy does the the world need to return to events like this!
Bring back these days. Avoiding death isn't living.
One of the best live bands I've ever seen and still cutting it after 40 years.
They’re coming to a local festival really close to me next Summer. I can’t wait 😛
Ynot?
This brings back so many good memories that it makes me cry
This is what life is all about. I always watch this to cheer me up
I bought it on a sampler, I never heard this song and I did´nt know James!
And now: I put the CD in my car player and I heard it about 50 times on my way from Berlin to Oldenburg.
For this concert I would have payed 1000 €, without any doubt! A wonderful audience, a lot of happy people!
easily one of the most beautiful things i've seen
This is by far my favourite RUclips video of all time. Whenever I’m feeling down I just put this on!! 😎
Yes my friend
2:51 I am a gay man and in the moment I felt in love, unfortunately unhappy and just only from my side. This guy looks like Tim Booth!
But when I hear this song and see the people and him dancing, it gives me a smile!! To watch this video makes me happy! Tim Booth has so much charisma!
So PURE HAPPINESS!
Tim can heal just with his positive energy, his wonderful smile, his ability to bring some pure childish joy to people;)
Thank you, JAMES, Great band, Outstanding Frontman.
amen!
You got it!!!!
Absolutely spot on
Well put my man/woman
Amen!
James are such a great rock band. I think they are extremely underrated
If this doesn't make you smile then nothing will. Absolutely brilliant. Just people living the moment having fun.
Whos here watching James songs in 2021 🥰💜💚
I am. March 2021. When I see this I want to cry, it makes me so happy.
✋
Me!! Counting down until we see them in Manchester.
I'm 60 I still love them
November... Watching from Portugal 🇵🇹
Idk anything about this band or their songs but I watch this one and every time I think that this is what music is about!
Going to see them tonight in Glasgow, buzzing after watching this 😂
If ever im feeling a bit down i watch this video, it always cheers me up, loads of people living the moment, having a fantastic time and a brilliant song to boot. love it. 😊🎉❤
Spot on comment. "living in the moment"....just every face totally lit. Magic stuff.
Thank you American Pie for introducing me to this gem of a song 20 years ago. Best times of my life and a great coming of age anthem.
Love forever.
OMG what a song, what a performance, what a trumpet, what a wonderful band....I LOVE THEM!

Well looks like a good time had by all . Respect to James for sharing the stage .
Your music takes me away to a place i used to love to be when i was sharing special time with that special girl....this guys voice is just carries a very heppy overtones....

I’m 47 been a James fan all my life they just get better and better 👍
I am 61 and stil loves it
I have a great big smile and goosebumps on my face you see all those lucky people on the stage they are all GEN X you will never see another era of people doing this James are legendary ❤
God I love that man. what a dancer, singer, entertainer
I can't believe how awesome they sound live. With everything else going on onstage.
James have to be one of the best live bands. I thInk I have seen them over 10 times now and desperate to go to the next one. Priceless.
gotta love that guys air drumming skills lol
Best dad dancing I've ever seen.🙈
The beautiful girl onstage with James, the blond one with flowers in her hair wearing tiny denim shorts, is my niece Lauren. This was her hen party - she is getting married to Matt next month! I am so proud!
Karen Vincent-Jones Lucky guy
That most be cool!!!
Midway into the song he invites them out. Sheep? Just looks like a bunch of people having a great time!
i give it 3 years....
Matt is a lucky man...😁😁😁
What a brilliant band, the singer is amazing, a great memory from the early 90’s 👌👌❤️❤️
i never knew this was such a popular song in the UK, i played on guitar here in argentina in a singalong night with some british tourists in an apartment full of drugs. i tough it was a forgotten britpop gem
alejandro rodriguez it was pretty popular in the Midwest US back in 95 or 96. Takes me back to college. Fun song to play.
Its a UK band and a UK song... what were you expecing...? more missiles on the Argentine navy...? lol
James aren’t britpop. They predate it, and whilst this song came out just at the beginning of britpop it’s not britpop.
Saludos de ingleterra
WOW that's an energetic arrangement for an already energetic song
This song reminds me so much of high school, probably 9th grade. I’m almost 30 now and still love this song.
Can’t help keep watching this video such a great feel good factor song can’t help enjoying themselves on stage
I remember a guy attending class in 1993 in a dress exactly the same as on the James album cover, Pomona College literature course on James Joyce with Prof. Brian Stonehill. That was a thing for a brief time in the 90s.
can't wait to see them next year!!! one of my fave bands ❤
I don't usually listen to music like this but heard it for what I think was the first time and I can't stop listening to it!!
listen their album "Laid", a jewel ;)
Love James seen them twice in Sheffield just brilliant lifts your spirits
I’m watching this in 2022 and it is awesome
I have to say I like the good looking women on stage, love from 🇨🇦 Canada
Here’s a guy that knows how to enjoy life and bring others along for the ride!
I knew this song had more energy that the offical video!! Well Done!!
2022 still watching James songs hell yeah ROCK ON 🤘🏼 James!!!!!! Party on !!!!
The sheer exuberance is amazing! Such an underrated band. The drummer is tight!
We really DID used to have fun in this world. I swear! We REALLY did!
Many changes in my life the one constant has been this wonderful band
The thought of this happening again literally makes me so happy I can't even put it into words. These people are LOVING life and everyone was about it.

Never gets old this, absolutely brilliant. All loving life on that stage 🥳
2022 and this is still one of the best things on RUclips
Olá. Brasil. Também. Adoro. Os. James. ,,,,,,,,,,, Portugal 🇵🇹
One thing I will say is when I’m in a supermarket and James song comes on you seriously think of busting into Dance Mode 👍🏼🇦🇺🦘
Aside from being outstanding performers, they always look they’re having fun every gig. Love James!
I was at this festival they were brilliant, even better than the first time when they supported the Smiths
Just fantastic...best drumming riff ever!
It's a 4/4 beat with a drum roll.
Year 2022 and still claim: James live is the best thing you can experience
What a great finale---looks like everyone including James was having a good time!
the lead singer is called Tim !
30 years on and the song is still accelerating!
I believe i was in the first year of university, at Lisbon. Beutiful! Kisses from all Tugas : ) Thanks
What a good time had by all! Definitely infectious!
2:06…the Phil Collin’s of air drummers…this is so cool.
Bunch of morons on stage who are prancing about to a song they’ve a obviously never heard before
"it's like warm apple pie"
with custard.
Oh And this one time at band camp I stuck a flute up my 🐱
Mcdonalds or homemade?
Hope no one bangs this pie 😊😉
💜American pie💜
Damn, this song takes me back to my senior year in high school (2021)
That's summer, that's fun...that's as good as it gets! Bravo!
Got to be one of his best performances.
Can you believe life was ever this good?
Tim having the time of his life i love it
amo esta cancion
Nostalgia
I know it may not happen, but i would have loved to be a friend of James.
He is happy, talented and looks fun to be around
Marvelous song, changes the mood all the time. 🥳🥳
American Pie 3 and 4🙏. Best films and song.♥️
Love, love and love. 😍.Best, moment of my lyfe.🖕
