James Bay - Surprise Set (Glastonbury 2015)

[@maxgerry9222]

So cool that fame has not got to his head. The fact the day before this he performed on the pyramid stage and then next day he played on this acoustic stage. He clearly just loves what he does not matter the size of venue / amount of audience . Keep the good work up James.

[@eezeee]

One of the things that I love most in James is that he really loves what he does, independent of the public. He is just amazing. What bothers me a bit is that he is really really REALLY VERY talented, and this enormous talent he has isn't very know, but I know he is only in the beginning of his career and that has a lot to conquer yet, and I really hope that he conquer all that deserves because this guy spills over talent! But also I hope that he never ceases to indulge in music, have this passion for it, and always has this likeable and loving way he has, because in addition to talented, he is a good person, and that's what matters. That's why I love this amazing guy.

Your my hero

[@Pearl882]

James Bay is ridiculously handsome & extremely talented. Your new album "Chaos and the Calm" did not disappoint.

[@shayanbhattacharya4628]

What's your favorite song?

[@liseprahm5491]

New? I heard it years ago 😂 first time, and again 💞 many more times.

[@whitneykibble7979]

This boy can sing! His lyrical content is perfection! He's going to be big!

[@maryt0o]

i really hope so!im craving musicians like him !

[@AzizNoend]

+Whitney Kibble Yes, he's big already!

[@nikolabakich9709]

+Whitney Kibble i think the best music has already come and gone nobody will ever come close to the beatles and when you think about its a 20th century thing in 20 years nobody will remember this guy even though he is good at what he does its nothing new or fresh just like everything else these days.

[@estelasanchez.]

+Nikola Bakich but even so...for such a time like this it's his voice and music and his crazy guitar skills is totally touching the hearts of those who ate listening to him. He's inspiring and awakening a thirst into the new generations to make more amazing music and changing their entire life like mine. I can say this because I'm that young one being greatly inspired .

[@KortniKline]

+Nikola Bakich Jesus Christ, I hate comments like these. Music existed before the 20th century and it exists after it. There's good and bad in every generation, and one is not better than the other. To state otherwise is simply wrong because musical taste is incredibly subjective. You think the Beatles were the end all be all, I think they're overrated. I honestly feel bad for you if you think the 'best' music is in the past. There are so many amazing artists of every genre out now that it seems tragic to limit oneself to the 'best' music of the past. But like I said, musical taste is subjective. Also, being remembered 20 years from now isn't the point of music. Music is one of the ways we define ourselves, it's how we tell our stories. Whether James has a long, illustrious career or is a flash in the pan isn't the point. The point is that his music is speaking to people, inspiring them, or is just really damn enjoyable.

[@Zimologist]

James Bay's band: Russell Crowe (bassist), Bono (drummer) and Olly Murs (keyboards)

[@vendysueholinkova1201]

Okay, I've just laughed so hard 😂

[@gdfggggg]

+maeraki Yeh man, all good

[@Randothol]

This lads voice is velvet. Such a talent, this set is sending wave after wave a tingles down my spine.

[@hudaleghari689]

Okay, he is one of the best singers I've seen. Seriously talented and he is good-looking too. Totes in love with his music. We need more people like him! ❤

[@liseprahm5491]

I won't let go of you is he singing right now! Thats what I feel .❤️🥰

[@liseprahm5491]

Nice song ☺️

[@shayanbhattacharya4628]

I love how on "Scars" he just carries the whole song on his back until the crescendo and the keyboardist just admires him from the side lol ❤️

[@jacquelineburgos2388]

Any fool giving James Bay a thumbs down should immediately remove their thumbs and shove them in your special place where the sun doesn't shine. You clearly don't know talent. This guy is the best thing to happen to music in a while. He's a soulful singer, song writer and extremely gifted guitar player. Authentic to the bone! Talented to the tenth power! Get an effing clue!

[@kat4965]

Such a good set! James Bay + BBC = Perfection

[@rebeccawilliams2445]

Everyone out here outside Glastonbury is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo happy that you all did this extra show! I was tickled pink for the EXTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Never too early for rock-n-roll!!! Love it all! Bring it to Portland again so I can see you for real. You came, but it only the same day notice for me (I'm from Denver). Love you!!!

[@liseprahm5491]

Husk altid at minde mig om den ,gode tone! Tak for hjælpen ,med den gode tone!

[@MixBetterNowTV]

They don't come much better, more talented, and humble than James... This guy keeps blowing my mind! :-)

[@JulieJulieTheRockChickhermiz]

Love his style, so refreshing to see real talent, got a little crush on him, oh well okay, a BIG crush 😳

[@clareedge4111]

I've never seen this up until now, amazing!, likeable then, even more so now, what a talented young man, awesome personality, stands out from so many artists, will definitely go very far and above all, deserves to. James Bay is top my list of most favourite artists and it will take a lot to move him from that place. x

[@hollylangfield1334]

The bridge of collide gets me everytime! What an amazing set, I can't wait to see James live again with a new album now the chaos and the calm tour is over. X

[@blackcherrytrees]

James Bay music is amazing and his voice is so beautiful. I have all his EPs and his album #Chaos and Calm. I love it!

[@09spicera1]

its so amazing

[@RH3D]

wow I really wasn't expecting much from this guy but every single song was amazing. not even a genre I usually listen to... first time I've heard this guy

[@matchbox3eb]

Amazing concert and quality

[@Riccardoferriscuccimarra]

A super epiphone, a great singer

[@liseprahm5491]

I loved this song first time I heard it ❤️ and 💯 time's more.

[@alexashleymusic]

This is so awesome. Also want to point out how great his band is, including whoever the backup vocalist was (you can really hear them in the first song)

[@liseprahm5491]

Yes James bay has a great band ❤️🤗 I love all of them 😍

[@liseprahm5491]

Nice 👍

[@foster_bay]

This is amazing

[@libfuzzy]

He's so down to earth and talented , love him ❤

[@lizdowner14]

Utter drivel. Since when have looks mattered. He sets the bar so fucking low. There is nothing here to listen to that better musicians haven’t ploughed previously. This is like your first orgasm. It only needs a second and much better orgasm... Trite, utter childish shite... Go find Ed Fucking Sheehan, this is like watching pInt stay wet.. truly awful...

[@inge.lamboo]

Gosh. I LOVE HIM!

[@danangseta]

18:25 Best Fake Smile 23:00 Hold Back The River

[@JamilaColeman]

Just amazing!

[@hudaleghari689]

It's taking him such an effort to control his voice at Let It Go. I'm so amazed! He can sing pretty well.

[@alsicemoy6717]

I love him!

[@kittypiex]

My love 💓

[@nellaazizah9647]

For first song like rock genre by beat blues, James bay is the brilliant musician...

[@bellisaevans]

[@Formula-602]

I think what is throwing the crowd is there is harmonies..not just one guy who can sorta sing.. real talent in other words..

[@XimenaRoblesChile]

Que publico mas apático...James Bay, come to susdmerica,,somos más alegres ..

[@ikanbesareroda6605]

[@requiem6336]

이 버전이 더 좋은듯 사랑함 ♥♥

[@cassimini1]

A l'Olympia le 2 Novembre j'ai hâte 😊

[@alim-oj9un]

the guy is amazing and its such a shame that most of this crap crowd cant appreciate a fantastic talent....most of them should have stayed home that day

[@slotssnstuff]

Glasto crowds are awful, cos their either drugged up, dead on the 3rd day! Don’t know the artist, bored, drunk or just too old

[@exceptgood1651]

💕💙🎸

[@ObadiYah]

Wow! Really surprised by that Glassbury crowd dead or what? I think most had a rough night. James Bay will soon be headlining... Great talent!!

[@CarolVieira96]

20:52 help

[@Hamemrnick10]

Anyone else spot Maisie Williams on 25:57??

[@gazlp1]

Hold back the River I have to say sounded very weak vocally in there. It was stunning on the Pyramid.

[@spose198]

whats the songs name 14:00

[@mattcardlelover]

Let it go 😊

[@PalomitayDarkCrystal]

Cute :3

[@NyakzOTSD]

Vocals need to be louder

[@liseprahm5491]

How do I express my feelings here? 'nice" is that allowed to say?

[@christianbarca]

Where is the big band - this dude could take it.

[@elizabethmarcinova184]

omg thats so rude at 18:15 there was a female voice saying james gay wtf get a life

[@harryjacob2004]

+Elizabeth Marcinova no she was saying yes james

[@elizabethmarcinova184]

oh it sounded like she was saying james gay

[@laviniavianini602]

20:50 I just died

[@RayAndre]

I feel bad for saying this but the drummer wasn't doing him any favours :( He constantly sped up the songs and James looked uncomfortable.

[@bigpercy4124]

+André O. I find that hard to believe considering they all have in ear monitors. The drummer will be playing to a click track, Soo you'll need to think of another excuse as to why you think the drummer wasn't doing the band any favours.

[@RayAndre]

+Darran James If you're 100% certain they were playing to a click track, then it was the chosen tempo of a couple songs that seemed to be too fast.

[@simonhendriksjade]

fuck me he is a coollllllll dude. and yes my wife thinks so to0 hahahahahahahahah

[@ShowerTheHorse]

Worst crowd ever

[@tjbraley4567]

James has been singing his butt off these past two years, especially this year.. I feel this wasn't his best performance only cause that great voice of his is a little fatigued.

[@jhanaaaaa]

I think you would be the perfect guy for Taylor Swift

[@xboxTVgames]

+Ale Marquez Herrera FUCK. NO.

[@jhanaaaaa]

jaja easy..

[@reflexivmusic]

CyberPoodle you're goddamn right.

[@AaronCan2]

They sucked at Scars! Super fast!
