The Fat James Band "Sweet Dreamer"

Performed by the Fat James Band at the Mt Baker Blues Festival on July 31st 2011. This was a reunion show by the band that has not been together full time since the early 2000 period due to health issues with James. He is fit enough to play and play he did.

This was recorded in SD using a JVC GY-DV5000u 3/1/2" CCD digital broadcast series camcorder.

I felt band about not getting any shots of Dave in this video. I even called him and apologized. Good for me he is not a Diva! I'll have at least one more video up soon of this performance and make sure there are good scenes of that fine handsome keyboard player. (this has to be his wife)!

That was my brother commenting about SLR's. I filmed this using a full sized JVC GY-Dv5000u broadcast camera! Old school SD can still look real good using the right camera. Thanks to all the HiDef great the older SD grear is selling for pennies on the dollar!

Read the reviews before you buy one. There are serious design issues with the Nikon. The Canon kills it in functionality. As far as washed out colors go, it was rendered for 680x420 on a small computer screen, not a 32", although it looked great on my Sharp 32"! JG

@katharineanne46 Chris Eger was very excited when he found out about James' appearance with the band again.

Awesome to see these guys back! Winthrop R&B next year? Yes, please post up Little Wing if you can. Saw him do that one with Too Slim at the aftermath at Jack's years ago and it about knocked me out the door!

Thanks for posting this! It's a great song which deserves wider audience. I'm hoping you also recorded the band's killer rendition of "Little Wing" and will be posting it as well. Any chance?

The band sounds great, but turn up the volume on the keyboards and how about showing the keyboard player once in awhile or even just twice, since he is the handsomest guy onstage.

Thanks John! Loved watching the video... Loved being there live!!

Nice video John, of a fine song. Another one I really want to hear again was also written by the keyboard player; it featured some cool chord changes and periodic recurrences of a Led-Zep style riff.

So good to see the band is back on track. Thanks for posting this clip. Frankie. Saw them ages ago at the Moulin Blues Festival in the Netherlands, been looking for clips here on the tube for a long time and hey, here they are, LOL!

Thanks, that is why I've used Canon for the past 17 yearsand Fuiji before that . I get the results I demand. Many thanks for capturing this .... much appreciated... it was an emotional highlight for a lot of us. Be well ~ Suzanne Swanson
