I saw James Hall live in 1989 with the incredible band Matt My Hope. The very next day I went out to get the album… I still have two copies of it plus the EP.
I will never forget seeing this guy play to a half empty tent at a festival over ten years ago. I've never seen anyone perform with so much energy, in a state of frenzy. Amazing.
He was awesome in NY too. he hit himself in the face with the mic and almost fell of the stage while playing the trumpet, SO intense, I've never seen anything like it,
I was starting to think I just imagined this song lol. I'm on a nineties music binge and a small part of this song popped in my head so I typed "illingness", thanks google!
Outfucking standing! The energy this cat puts out live far surpasses ANYTHING i see and hear on a daily basis on commercial radio. Proud to call him my friend. Early Thomas 2010
Been seeing James from when he was in mary my hope through the 1990s as a solo artist into the pleasure club He know me but Internet im not great with last time we meet up was Camden monarch 2002/4 I'd dearly love to hear from James u may pass my details on to him I know he will be very happy to hear from me I thank u in advance
This whole album is excellent, yet it seems like hardly anyone got the chance to hear it. Geffen really fucked up with this one. I'm shocked to see that any videos were even made from Pleasure Club. Still great after all these many years...
James Hall... one of the truly unsung greats of all time.
Nobody touched his Live Shows they were a spiritual Experience”
Definitely I saw many many of his solo shows in the uk since 1988 mary my hope days
The pleasure club is spot on as well

Saw him a handful of times around NOLA 89-92 and HE WAS THE SHOW
Well as things have gone full circle I am sure you can see him these days playing to even smaller crowds on the bar and clubs circuit.
this album is all I listened to and defined my relationship with my wife for 18 years

Thankyou 💜
Love everything James Hall...why have so few heard of this awesome performer...
This guy should have been more popular. He is so good. Reminds me a little of Lenny Kravitz
the best. from my all time favourite album.
So great
