just saw them the other night, anybody else seen them recently? AMAZING show, only disappointment (& it wasn't really THAT big a deal for me) was the set-list, just 2 songs from his first 5 albums, both from love is hell. second half of the set the crowd started losing their patience & was yelling out requests like come pick me up, carolina & some gold tracks. seemed like it was agitating (sp?) not only ryan but the whole band?

i can understand them wanting to play mostly cardinals stuff due to ryan no longer wanting to be considered a solo artist, but since he wrote everything anyway, where's the harm?

i haven't checked out his recent setlists, but anyone seen him play any old ones this tour? other than that, amazing artist, great show, thanks ryan! hope we didn't fuck you off too much!!

    it was exactly the same when I saw him last october. fucking FANTASTIC show but the crowd were dicks and kept shouting "play something off Gold". I would have loved to hear some of the older stuff but I'm aware that he has to play what he's comfortable playing. by the end of the show he was getting noticeably pissed off and half way through the last song, which was a really beautiful piano ballad that he'd just written (and I still don't know the name of), he got sick of the heckling and walked off. I felt really bad for him because he gave it his all and people just couldn't give a shit.

    I was treated to To Be Young and electric versions of Bartering Lines and When the stars go blue.

    If he played Let It Ride that would be enough for me.

    I absolutely love that tune.

    I'm seeing him next month. I don't care what he plays, he's been sounding great lately. His voice sounds so much stronger lately.

    One of his shows from June is archived here:

    Love is Hell is my favorite album by him so I would be happy. I thought about going and seeing him when he comes to Cleveland, but I have tickets to the Ohio State Penn State game. I think I'm gonna have to pass on Ryan to watch the Buckeyes kick some ass. I have a ton of bootlegs though form this site:

    JCN is my favorite album. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

    I'm seeing him in Toronto next month. I really look forward to it.

    I'm seeing him in October for the first time. Just started getting in to him.

    I currently own Easy Tiger, Cold Roses, Rock N Roll, and Heartbreaker. Any recommendations as to which album I should by next??

    Also, does he post his setlists anywhere?

    Love is Hell is my favorite. It's not like alt-country, it's more Alternative. Lost Highway wouldn't let him release it as a LP so he did it in 2 E.P.s that went over very well. I would definitely give it a shot. I've been a Ryan fan since 2001 and I feel it is up there with Gold as his best album. His latest albums have been decent, but they have their down points.

    As for set lists, try the website I posted earlier. They have a bunch of bootlegs and should give you an idea on what he plays. But if your going to a show wanting to hear just one of his songs, your bound to be disappointed.

    Even though the elite will snub it, I say "Gold". Such a great album from start to finish. Very poppy.

    gold is essential. it may not end up being your favourite but it's class start to end. love is hell would probably be my most played R.A.

    he's releasing a boxset before xmas07 with 4 unreleased albums (!?) & b-sides/rarities disc. Oossh.

    Ah yes i say gold too.

    I just went to see him, i have to agree with the whiny people making requests (we had them too) there was only two songs from easy tiger, no two or halloweenhead which was odd, everything almost was cold roses which was dissapointing too many slow songs. But aside from that a very good show and you're right his voice is the best it has been, so much better then last time i saw him. Just a shame he didn't mix it up more i thought, must be a cardinals thing.

    So, I saw them last night in Houston. It was unfortunate to hear about some of the other shows being rather short, be we got lucky. It was fuking amazing, all of it. Not sure if it was the crowd, or just the general mood of the band, but they were loving it. A near 3 hour concert is indicative of this, especially considering they broke curfew by 20 minutes. I guess you never know with seeing Ryan if it'll be great or not, but hopefully it's a sign of things to come for the remaining shows in the tour.

    Here's the set from http://www.ryanadamsarchive.org (thanks Joel) :

    On about 8:30

    1. Peaceful Valley
    2. Please Do Not Let Me Go
    3. Cold Roses
    4. Bartering Lines
    5. Off Broadway (rockin') >
    6. Peaceful Valley (reprise)
    7. Goodnight Rose (groovy and mellow)
    8. Freeway To The Canyon (Neal Casal)
    9. Rescue Blues
    10. Freebird (Lynyrd Skynyrd) (just the solos part)
    11. When The Stars Go Blue

    Set Break 9:45

    12. Two
    13. Shakedown on 9th St
    14. Improv song about Jon Graboff
    15. Happy Birthday Spacewolf
    16. Beautiful Sorta
    17. Wild Flowers
    18. A Kiss Before I Go

    Encore 10:25

    that sounds like an incredible show. i saw them in may in morgantown, wv and it was a great show, but extremely short (about 80 minutes). i'm seeing them again outside of cleveland next week and i'm hoping it's something a little more along the lines of the show you just witnessed!
