James Blunt (aka James Hillier Blount) lived all over Europe as a child with a father in the British Army Air Corps, taking piano and violin sessions and later learning guitar and writing songs as a teenager. After graduating from the University of Bristol, Blunt served six years in the British Army and was stationed in Canada, Kosovo and Switzerland, achieving the rank of captain before he left the army in 2002. The next year, he signed to Custard Records and starting recording his first album in Los Angeles. Back to Bedlam came out in 2004, with five singles including “High,” “Wiseman,” and the smashes “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover,” and received five Grammy nominations. With his endearing voice, poignant and sincere lyrics, and catchy pop-rock sound, Blunt’s debut has sold over 11 million copies. His second album, 2007’s All the Lost Souls, produced the hit “1973,” and 2010’s Some Kind of Trouble featured “Stay the Night,” “So Far Gone,” and “If Time Is All I Have.” The folky lead single “Bonfire Heart” premiered in October 2013, a few weeks ahead of the release of his fourth and latest album, Moon Landing. With a world concert tour planned for 2014, this charming crooner is set to dazzle ticket holders across the globe.
Christina Perri played nearly 10 songs, all of which were amazing. She is so raw and honest, and her voice is one of the best in the biz. Jimmy started the show by running down the aisle, which was so fun. He was super snarky and so enjoyable. The energy that excuded from him was contagious...and he sounded wonderful. He is on my MUST SEE again list....
Great show. intense and fun. james interacted with the crowd on several ocassions while playing many of his hits. Great energy and concert. Christina perri was good too!
He is one of those guys that gets better live and this was a really great show.
James put on a great show, was a little dissapointed that he did not play more of his older stuff though!
Awesome concert! James Blunt was energetic as always and a great entertainer! He sounded as great as he does on my iPod! Even better!
Great show and venue. Could have been longer. Played for 1.5 hrs.
Good opening , and great show, second time I saw him.
The show was great as always....he is a great performer with a lot of energy....He sang for almost 2 hours without a break and still sounded good for the last song....I could listen to him sing all day....
James Blunt played hard throughout the set....his live show sounded like his CD's.... clear, great range and unique arrangements. His audience was incredibly diverse from teeny bops yelling "I love you James" between songs to the older middle agers that struggled to stand up to listen! Acknowledgement needs to be given to his sound team, his instrumentals never drown him out.and his voice is able to sing through clear. No back bashing base or over zealous drums allows his music to shine. James Blunt was engaging, fun and didn't disappoint! Will see him again!
INCREDIBLY FUN!!! I bought the tickets to bring my girlfriend for her birthday and wasn't sure I would have a good time but both James Blunt and Christina Perri put on amazing shows!!!! Cheers
I loved it! It was an amazing evening...but he should do less of the rocky songs...
show was amazing! James and his band are very professional. everything was on top. only ''-'' security didn`t allow people to stand up((
Jame Blunt is an amazing talent and he connects with his audience in an awesome way. At this concert the audience had enormous connection with him. The audience knew all the words to his song and sang in a dual with him. The hair on my arms were standing up. The energy at this event was super and the band was invigorated to preform at there utmost. What an night bravo the James and his crew ! Love the music and words and the connection to the peopel. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Loved every moment. James Blunt came out so energized and the audience was so enthusiastic! Loved when he stayed silent and let the audience sing the song for him. Very faithful fans. The night flew by. Could have done without the opening act.
I knew that I loved James Blunt's music -- great songs to sing along with.... but I didn't expect him to be such a good showman! Really enjoyed the show and so did my friend who went with me expecting NOT to like it!
blunt's need for audience idolatry is irritating although his music is terrific. he needs to stop talking about how he should be appreciated more and just sing.
Amazing :D, i would recommend this event to a friend
I have been to every concert James Blunt has played in NYC and LongIsland, this show essay the top! The sound system is extraordinary and the venue( Beacon) was outrageous. Cannot wait for the next concert!!!
Disappointed he only played 1 time in NYC this year. Would definitely see him again!!! Awesome concert!!
Until the US, in particular terrestrial radio, gives him his just due, James Blunt will continue to be one of the most underrated songwriters plying his craft today. His witty exchanges with the audience, brief and infrequent though they are, mark Blunt as a special performer capable of commanding and mesmerizing the crowd. In addition, Paul Beard, Ben Castle, John Garrison, and especially Karl Brazil may be even more underrated than Blunt himself. They deserved more than just token spotlighting and a brief throwaway thanks by Blunt at the end of the show. Nevertheless, the show was fantastic, containing hit after hit and showcasing James Blunt's immense talent for songwriting and performing.
