[Sydneyfan]

Several TBYers have tickets for this, so fingers crossed for a great night :guitarsolo

[La Cienega]

Robotulism, Ewok's Groupie, and I got our tickets this morning!
Had a bit of a scare when Botch and I were 5th in line at the Fillmore box office (since 9:30am) and were told it'd sold out... But we grabbed them when they went up on Live Nation later in the day.

[robotulism]

Oh, so now you believe it.
Prick.

[loserer]

^ Must. get. tickets.

Most excellent. I'm sure we'd love a review of the show if you can manage it.

Had to make sure the finances were in place to buy a couple tickets. Medical bills + family emergency airplane flights + 2 funerals & burials in 2 years + rising gas prices = tighter belts. :\

sorry to hear all that :ok were you able to get them in the end?

[loserer]

sorry to hear all that :ok were you able to get them in the end?

Nope but I'll keep tryin'. :)

[magnoliahead27]

hopefully they break out some Dead given the history of The Fillmore, here's hoping for covers of "Estimated Prophet", "Terrapin Station", and maybe "I Need a Miracle"

[Faded Rose]

Some more Dead is long overdue. Ryan is talking jamz though so hopeful...

[magnoliahead27]

love your sig, that was a funny quote

[Faded Rose]

I laughed because I can't imagine Ryan rewiring a lamp.

[Libertine4Life]

this show is gonna rock like 2006, i can feel it

[magnoliahead27]

[QUOTE=Libertine4Life;450123]this show is gonna rock like 2006, i can feel it[/QUOTE

that was a fockin good year indeed

[La Cienega]

my excitement's getting un-containable

[Libertine4Life]

my excitement's getting un-containable

i hope you shall be taking pics...

hell im excited, and im not even gonna be there :banana

[Faded Rose]

Me too - I can't wait to see what he plays. I'm even at the stage when I don't care if it's the same old setlist. I hope it's a great show for everyone going. Ryan does sound quite excited to be going on the road again so maybe he's in the right frame of mind to put on really good shows.

[Libertine4Life]

I'm even at the stage when I don't care if it's the same old setlist.

I wouldnt go that far :P

[Faded Rose]

His blog always turns me into that sort of fan.

[Rob]

His blog always turns me into that sort of fan.
It does the exact opposite for me :(

[Faded Rose]

We'd never guess.

[La Cienega]

I'll have my camera and a new bigger memory card I got for this purpose, so if I can focus through my excitement enough to do so, I'll take some pictures and try to video a song or two. Me, Bot, Way, and EG should be right up front :D

Ryan's blog today made me really happy and excited... he sounds so genuinely pumped to be getting back on the road, trying new jams out, rocking some crazy shoes... His last show at the Fillmore was a great one and he turned out that fantastic "Welcome to the City" improv song about SF. Hopefully we'll get another fantastic show. Start of a new tour, new album, Saturday night in SF, GA venue with an awesome rock history feeling to it... I'm feeling really optimistic.

[Wayfaringmind]

*convulses with excitement* Oh god. I have to remember to charge my camera tonight. YES!!!!! I am seeing you ladies TO-FUCKING-MORROW!.

[La Cienega]

So, ROLL CALL. Who will be at this show?

La Cienega
Robotulism
Wayfaringmind
Ewok's Groupie
stickie

anyone else???

[magnoliahead27]

god I wish man!

[Rob]

We will need a real time setlist.

[Wayfaringmind]

As opposed to a fake time one?

[robotulism]

We will need a real time setlist.

Give us your phone number, we'll text it to you.

:D

[ewok.online]

Oooh, smooth moves on the Robs.

[Sydneyfan]

According to the blog there will be new jams tonight. I do not like the jamz in general, but at least it sounds like we might here some new material at this show. :upyours

[Libertine4Life]

i presume when he says jams, he just means new material...cannot wait to hear reports of these. should give us a massive hint at what the album will sound like

[Sydneyfan]

Ah, yes, that's probably true. And I agree about them probably being indicative of the new album sound.

[La Cienega]

yeah i'm thinking by new jams he means new songs. yyyyyeeeeah!
The girls and i are heading over soon! Crazy that showtime's not til 10pm. Hopefully we'll get a late, late night out of this. And be slightly more in control of ourselves than we were last night.

[Libertine4Life]

GRRRR!

So jealous

[La Cienega]

I think one of the raa guys going is a taper... after the january shows he put stuff up really quickly

[radioradi0]

Such an exciting night! :banana

[twistedwings]

I'm really wondering if there will be a live stream!!! So far it looks unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to blindly hope...

[Sydneyfan]

I'm really wondering if there will be a live stream!!! So far it looks unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to blindly hope...

I checked out the Little Moon Radio site, where the previous live stream have come from, and there is nothing about tonight's show. Still, it might be worth checking again later on tonight I guess.

Yeah, I know sometimes they didn't announce live-streams until fairly last minute due to the possibility of technical problems or whatever... Crossing fingers here~ the 1st show of a tour would be a huge treat to hear after the lapse!

[Faded Rose]

New songs- that augurs well for a new album surely.

EVERGREEN!!!

COBWEBS!!

oh my god...cant wait for the album :banana x 1,000

[Libertine4Life]

also, what was the music sound like? was it more mellow like the 2007 tour, or did they rip into it a bit more?

[Wayfaringmind]

The new music was fucking awesome!!! It sounds like cardinals play...but the jams were so tight and they sounded better than I have ever heard them!! I hope this show got taped. There are some songs i want to rehear.

[magnoliahead27]

describe them, What Sin dark? Cold Roses happy?? JESUS

[Libertine4Life]

me too, it better show up soon. so were they doing long versions of songs? like the 7min version of Off Broadway and the super long version of Maggie Mountian?

[Faded Rose]

I hope it has a bit a different sound. The set list is good and I like the idea of new songs but I was hoping for a more edgy sound not the same tight old Cards.

[La Cienega]

sorry I'm being lame and need to get to bed so I'm just reposting what I just wrote over on the other board:

I agree, the Wonderwall was divine... really intense... and Sweet Lil' Gal came damn close to ripping my heart out. That was the best I heard Ryan's vocals all night. It seemed like Ryan might dive into another solo tune on the piano after Sweet Lil' Gal, then he turned around to one of the stage guys and said "have you seen my friends?" in a sorta sad, cute voice, then turned back to the piano and started the little improv song about how he wishes his friends the cardinals would come back. That's when the band came back for Nightbirds.

The new song that I also thought was called "Go Easy" was dedicated to 'Bug' 'who is also playing a show tonight' (like foggy mentioned). I'm no good at describing songs so I can't try to relay what it sounded like... But I really, really liked it. Chorus had a line about "go easy on yourself."

The Danzig banter was mostly about a Danzig show he went to, and how there were 'ladies of the night' dancing topless on stage, and the funniest part was watching them try to pole dance to Danzig. Then he was commenting that their album title Lucifudge wasn't very badass and sounded chocolatey, or like sex candy.

Easy Plateau was intense... Went pretty spaced out in the middle, with Ryan screaming over and over into the mic "I want an easy plateau." For whatever reason it made me sad, it was just this very intense/begging scream "I want an easy plateau!" over and over... then went all the noise and reverb shut off and it quietly eased back into Easy Plateau.

Elizabeth was gorgeous but seemed slightly faster/more upbeat than I recall hearing it much (not that upbeat is ever a good word to capture that song).

I could not stop dancing when Shakedown came on.

Pearls was awesome too - more rocked out, really different from the album or the Letterman performance. In fact, there wasn't an acoustic guitar played all night as far as I could tell. There were two organs on stage but sadly those didn't get touched.

When some people started shouting song requests, Ryan politely told them it'd make no difference since they have a setlist and that he likes to go on the fly (paraphrasing here) so it makes for a better vibe... Then he said something like if you don't like the setlist, why don't you go make your own band. He completely seemed in a great mood all night, he and the boys were sharing smiles and laughs on stage (Brad's faces while Ryan's talking or tinkering with his guitar between songs are great), I caught Spacewolf jokingly petting Neal's hair... Ryan made a poke at Neal for being cool for his guitar-playing stance and did a hilarious imitation of it... Ah, and a personal highlight was when Ryan was tuning his guitar and said he wished he just had a saxophone, because then he wouldn't have to tune it, he could just jam. And that the show was brought to us by cheez-its and diet coke, and someone should tell those companies to give him a million dollars so he can build a helicopter out of unicorn feathers.

For what it's worth, the only "--->" I noted on my setlist was Peaceful Valley --> Beatiful Sorta.

Can you tell I'm still on a giddy post-show high and need to come off it before I can try to sleep? (being on here isn't helping)

[La Cienega]

I took videos of Wonderwall (it was awesome), half of Why Do They Leave (batteries died)... then Bot's camera came to the rescue and I stuck my memory card in there and got videos (some might be partial, I can't remember) Like Yesterday, Games, Evergreen, and Cobwebs. No idea yet how the videos came out or how the audio is. I hope I'm not getting anyone's hopes up for nothing!

What that setlist called Windowpane was on either the blog or youtube as "Like Yesterday," back in the post-JJ days around when Evergreen, Broken Arrow, and Cobwebs all went up too.

Several rad new t-shirts at the merch table (mostly Cardinology or space themes), as well as some old designs - me and Way got 29 ones. One had some constellations on it, a bright blue one with the new peace sign/cardinal symbol, another was black with what looked like a heart monitor line across the front that formed the cold rose on one side. I also saw stickers and a few CD's, that was it.

Thanks for the awesome update, La. I am so totally jealous but glad you guys had a great time and I can't wait to hear more!

Holy crap - this was exciting to wake up to. Like Yesterday??

Okay, I'm geeking out over here...must calm down..

[Wayfaringmind]

So I really did take over 400 pictures, and I am ready to upload them but the internet here is SO SLOW. So I will have to do it when I get back to Colorado. But here are a few I managed to upload.... Also, I am not sure if this is where the pictures go :)

Thanks Way - those are amazing. I like the last one - Looks like Brad is giving him the WTF glance.

[Rob]

From the looks of that set it seems like we're in for a treat.

[Faded Rose]

Thanks for the photos. They are really good. Hope it gets uploaded somewhere soon.

Of all the Ts he has, why that one? Glad he wore those shoes though.

See Brad has the new Cards logo on the drums.

[Libertine4Life]

i have so many questions about this set...better just to wait for a recording to surface

[Ewok's Groupie]

The show was awesome. A few new songs - all of which sounded great. Very Cardinals-ish (of course). All very catchy and in the same vein as "Easy Tiger" (don't groan) and even a little "Cold Roses" sounding. I liked them all. Ry's voice was in top shape, as was Neal's. Spacewolf was looking especially sexy. Ryan was in a great mood and talked to the audience a bit - mostly about Danzig and Christopher Cross meeting in imaginationland.

That is as much of a show review as I can give in short form.

<3

[Tim Simmons]

So this is being hailed as a great set?


Funny.

[Rob]

[Libertine4Life]

^ like it a lot

[twistedwings]

WOW!!! Love the poster!!! I wonder if it's the same artist as previous or a different one. Looks like a different style to me.

[Tim Simmons]

Why is it funny? A 30 song set with new material is pretty good.
Because outside of the 5 new songs, the set is no different that what they have been playing the last 2 years. And with the amount of complaining over the past few years, the addition of 5 new songs upgrade it to a great set. I find that funny.

I think its a great set. That being said, I haven't been complaining about how boring the sets have been the past few years.

New songs will always dramatically increase people's interest. I'm sure by the end of the tour we'll be complaining again.

[Tim Simmons]

I have no doubt about that.

Maybe Ryan will be dating someone else so we can have 356 threads with 700 posts to distract us.

I agree and I've been complaining but I've had a change of heart after listening again to the shows from January and I think it's a good set.

[Rob]

Using the blog to have pictures from the set is a great idea. It would be nice if they did a live setlist on the blog.

[Sunny44]

So from the shows I've been to and the live ones I have from various sources, I can say, probably yet again, that I don't get the complaining. I burned a cdr of Rescue Blues live from a variety of venues, backup bands, years, and every one of them sounds different. I've been listening to that song-- and a lot of the others-- for years and years, and I have yet to get tired of any of them. Maybe that just means I'm weird, but I could repeat that with a truckload of other RA songs and get the same result--they sound different almost every time-- and never get bored with any of them. That said,
I think some of the 07 shows toward the end of that tour started to sound like the band were getting tired (not surprising). But I also thought the Jan 08 shows sounded really good again. Good to hear new songs, of course.

[magnoliahead27]

there will always be whining so who cares man, and yes there are songs that will never die, especially Magnolia Mountain!

Great pics, Way. Love that he's wearing his new shoes.

:)

I wouldn't complain one bit about that set. Or any set. I just want to get to see them this year.

[SkortBrun]

Looks like it was a pretty good set. Can't wait for a recording of the show to become available. How long does that usually take?

[Sunny44]

Those were great pix. Thanks for posting them.

[taparoo]

Thanks for the great pics, Way. I hope a tape surfaces.

[magnoliahead27]

I know, haha, Ryan Adams has been to Utah twice and the last time I didn't get to fucking see him, so I would never fucking complain about what the guy plays. In fact, I wouldnt want to dictate it to him, I'd wanna be there for his journey and the Cardinals journey. I dont see myself getting off his train any soon, especially since I just discovered Suicide Handbook and 48 Hours (I know, how could I miss them?).

Let's just say these are the holy grail.

But complaining about a 3 hour set?! You should be fucked by your own grandma and flogged in public! Theres only like 4 bands who would dare play a show on their own with no opener anymore, and then the list thins when you're talking bands who would play a 3 hour set. My Morning Jacket would. Radiohead goes about 2 hr 40.

So I'm not saying that you should shut up if you complain, but seriously when Ryan, Neal, Chris, Jon, and Brad come back after 7 months and play 5 new songs, and a 3 hour show and kick ass their first date back, you should really consider yourself an occupation with pitchforkmedia.

[Friendly Fire]

Please don't talk about my grandmother..

[magnoliahead27]

fine, Jesse Ventura's penis in your ear;

[ewok.online]

especially since I just discovered Suicide Handbook and 48 Hours

Don't wait around for that sound again.

And 48 is possibly his best record.

[magnoliahead27]

Don't wait around for that sound again.

And 48 is possibly his best record.

i know man, I'm listening to Cry on Demand for the first time and lets just say epic. Cracks in a Photograph was amazing as well, shame on Lost Highway for not releasing this.

Is it just me or should Lost Highway seriously just let Ryan run the show? It seems like almost every good album he made was rejected by the label at first.

[ewok.online]

I 100% believe 48 should have been the follow-up to Gold, as was originally planned.

And I highly doubt LH would turn down 48 hours. That album is right up their alley.
I bet is has more to do with Ryan wanting to change it up, rather than stick with one thing.

...which in this case, he should have done.

[magnoliahead27]

maybe so, maybe so

[JackStark211]

48 hours is great.

[JackStark211]

48 hours is so much better than gold, me thinks.

[Libertine4Life]

I 100% believe 48 should have been the follow-up to Gold, as was originally planned.

really?? never heard that before

[lukin]

So I know that this probably gets asked all the time, but I was kind of waiting around for that box set last year and I don't think it'll ever happen so I'm thinking I should get hold of Suicide/48 Hours etc.. but where do I get them from?

[roxy031]

Don't wait around for that sound again.

And 48 is possibly his best record.

I agree, it's hard to pick a favorite but I think that's mine.

[twistedwings]

Using the blog to have pictures from the set is a great idea. It would be nice if they did a live setlist on the blog.

Looks like Ryan listened:)

[ewok.online]

Well, I'm kind of speculating.
Because they're very similar, but not.

As much as I like the music from 2003, I wish the Gold/48/Suicide could have been explored a little further.

[Faded Rose]

Great pics. I love the one with his glasses on. But I love him best in his glasses...Not exactly rock image though which I find so sweet.

[Sunny44]

Thanks for the pics! And I agree with Faded Rose, I love him in glasses.

[stickie]

Great, fun show. Woo!

Dug the new songs, too.

I'll second this one....
So I know that this probably gets asked all the time, but I was kind of waiting around for that box set last year and I don't think it'll ever happen so I'm thinking I should get hold of Suicide/48 Hours etc.. but where do I get them from?

[Faded Rose]

Try Dime or RAA

[twistedwings]

RAA wouldn't throw those out due to the copy factors, I'm pretty sure. Dime might... I never go there. Otherwise, people could be PM'ed... I'd be able to help with something.

[robotulism]

Well, this thread is all talking about something else entirely now, but anyway. Uh, I gave Ryan a present and he talked to me a bit.
The story:
Well, um, I met him in January of this year, during that west coast tour. And we talked about the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remaster of Heartbreaker. He said he liked the MFSL stuff because the cds sound like vinyl. So, I tracked down the vinyl remaster of Sonic Youth's Goo that MFSL did in 1990. I believe it was in a limited release of 1000.
Anyway, that took forever to find a sealed one that I would not have to give up my first born for, because, I mean, I love Ryan and all, but, I was not going to go super crazy when he probably would not even be that appreciative of it.
Anyway, so I finally got it, and just in time, Went to the city with the gals, and then we were scrambling to find wrapping paper. We settled for a poster with a wizard and dragons on it, which actually looked pretty rad. Wrapped it, I made a card and drew a robot and we went to stand on the street outside the Fillmore.
Ryan and the guys passed by, and the other Cardinals returned, but Ryan was gone for a while. When he came back, I crossed the sidewalk so that I would be on the side that he was on, and kinda shoved the gift in his chest when he walked by and told him to take it, as it was for him. He answered, "Aww, I didn't get you anything" and I told him I really didn't expect that he would.
Anyway, so he was walking back into the venue, and he yelled back some sort of "Hey, thanks" or something. Wait, I don't remember very well after this, I think I had some sort of stroke. Girls, what did he say after that?!?!

[Rob]

Why did you have to shove it in his chest?

[robotulism]

He was in a group of people talking in a line, and he was purposely trying not to see us before, I think. He definitely ignored us during his first passing.

[Wayfaringmind]

After she gave him the gift, she came back over and sat by us, as he walked away. He was reading the card, and then stopped and turned around to look for her and said "Hey! Thanks!" and she yelled "Open it!!" and he said "I read the card, I am pretty sure I know what this is!" and she said "Open it anyhow!" and he looked lovingly (I mean it, I am pretty sure he loved the hell out of that wrapping) and said "But I don't want to ruin the wrapping paper", and she said "Its a poster" and he yelled "Oh WOW!" and said he'd open it later or something like that. Then he went inside :) Thats how I remember it. It was kick ass. Bootch rules.

Oh, yeah!

Thanks Way!

You rule, too.

[Blindtiger]

That does sound awesome! She totally rules!

[roxy031]

That is so cool, bot. Many people would not go out of their way to do something so thoughtful. I hope he really appreciated that.

[roxy031]

Thanks for the videos, taparoo :)

[Faded Rose]

Thank you for the vids.

[Wayfaringmind]

Those are La's vids! :) Thanks for those!!!

[JackStark211]

Thanks for the vids. I hope some come up showing the new songs.

[La Cienega]

yup, the Wonderwall and Why Do They Leave (sadly cut - my batteries died) are ones I took. I'm uploading vids of three of the new songs right now! I had quite the drama and thought I'd fucked up and lost the videos... When my batteries died, Bot (yay Bot!) lent me her camera and I put my memory card in there and got videos of Like Yesterday, Cobwebs, Ever-Green, Games, and maybe some banter, and a bit of Kiss Before I Go... But after trying four friends' computers + 2 Walgreens + one internet cafe + one camera store yesterday afternoon I was convinced I couldn't get those videos off, or maybe had never recorded them in the first place 'cause I was unfamiliar with her camera. I think my memory card is disgruntled/corrupted too.

Good news is I found a camera store this morning that pulled them off and burned them to DVD for me! So there'll be videos of the last 3 new songs soon... Stupidly I dialed a friend so he could hear the first 2 new songs so I don't have videos of them... I wonder if he saved the voicemails...

[Sunny44]

Thanks-- nice videos, especially wonderwall.

Went to the show & liked it. Didn't love it but maybe was just tired. (The week before showtime my household was crowded with houseguests; I was & am dealing with estate stuff after a relative's passing including some family dramaz.) Ryan's voice was in good form & it was fun to get a glimpse into his universe. Arrived after the doors opened, left before 1AM 'cause I went with my cousin and she was ready to depart back to bed at her apartment then.

Ladies -- groupies? -- hope you all had a fantabulotastic partyriffic 23rd. I think I may have heard some of you folks over the rest of the crowd. :D

Stickie -- I think we may have crossed paths on the floor ? If so :wave and sorry I didn't pipe up with a greeting.

Well, this thread is all talking about something else entirely now, but anyway. Uh, I gave Ryan a present and he talked to me a bit. *snip*
Aww. Great story. Glad to read it, Bot. The wrapping paper sounds perfect.

[robotulism]

Loserer! I am so bummed that we missed you! And you probably did hear us, we are loud, and we were near the microphones.

[La Cienega]

I hope loserer wasn't thinking the skanks behind me & bot just to the right were us! You could certainly hear them above the crowd a few times:
"ryan, you make me so wet!"
"ryan, i'll be patient for you all night long baby!"
"ohhh! thank you!"
"ryan I love you! ohhhhh"

[Wayfaringmind]

you should have punched them in the mouth.

[robotulism]

I was worried about that same thing. La.

And, Way, I couldn't after they told me that I had nice boobs. That is just not nice.

[SweetlilGal]

man, i wish i could find a video of fix it and everybody knows AND of his danzig story. i LOVE danzig so it was neat to be there and hear ryan talk about him

[taparoo]

Here's a video of some of Fix It from Seattle I found

wow thank you!

Where's the soundboard?

Where's the soundboard?

Don't know but I wish it would hurry up and surface.

Damn, I'm sorry I was so loud, guys.

I'll try to be more quiet next time. ;)

[La Cienega]

M-squared.... on here, it's funny. If I went to a show with you and you pulled that shit, I'd smack ya! :slap

[Magnolia Mountain]

I know....I'm just joking.

I would never really say that (especially if I was in earshot of the man himself).

[La Cienega]

These girls were a class act. Before the show even started, security came over to talk to them b/c they'd already gotten a complaint. I never saw them in line, so they must've just shoved/stumbled their drunk selves up to the front.

it was terrible. When other people cheered at the opening notes of a song or when it ended, these chicks were screaming like they were having orgasms. I seriously thought to myself several times "I'm glad ryan's going deaf and probably can't hear them"

[Faded Rose]

I can't believe anyone would say that stuff where there was any chance he might hear.

[Sunny44]

So I guess nobody got a video of sweet lil gal? He sounded so wonderful on that. And I'd love to hear "Go Easy" again, it's the only one of the new songs that hasn't surfaced anywhere.

[La Cienega]

For whatever it's worth, I just read this (http://www.ryanadamsarchive.com/showthread.php?p=182218) on RAA, re: the Fillmore show recording. JohnC usually knows what he is talking about.
all Ryan's shows are taped
it'll turn up just may take a little while that's all

[Wayfaringmind]

WOO hoOO!!!

[Sunny44]

I'm extremely glad/relieved to hear that. Thanks for posting it.

[La Cienega]

hmmm, but...

I have a feeling that it wasn't recorded by anyone.
There was a bit of problem with the new patch cables that we encountered in Boston. If people were patched in SF, I don't think they got a useful recording. I could be completely wrong however.

[robotulism]

Aww, now I have to pretend not to have read that at two places?! Damn you. La. I like denial, it is comfortable.

[La Cienega]

woooo - happy news! From Deviant at RAA, re: a request for the 8/23 fillmore recording:
"Your wishes will be answered. I hope to have this up soon... thanks to Ryan and crew."
