Still no word on a setlist that I can find. Couple of early reviews...show was electric, no encore, Ryan polled (ISO: Quincy) some of the audience apparently asking what songs they wanted to hear. All seems pretty positive.

If anyone can help out with the setlist, please do.

I would assume so. Although "I C Monsters" would be shorter.

Well, with the included space between letters, it's the same.

I was in my seat and saw this guy standing across the aisle from me. I thought, "Damn, that guy looks a little like Ryan Adams... Actually a lot like him... Wait, it is him."

He was walking by and I said "hey" and we shook hands. He sat down next to me and asked what I wanted to hear. I asked about older stuff like "Chin Up, Cheer Up" and "She Wants To Play Hearts" and he said the band doesn't know most of the material from that era, so I didn't get to "Walls." I moved on to stuff like "Cherry Lane" and "Life Is Beautiful," the latter of which made him jump a little. ("Ohh, that could be a good one!" Wrote it down.) I wanted to ask him about that track anyway, since he recorded all the parts himself. ("Haha, yeah man. That's why the drums and bass totally suck on it!") Cool stuff.

Like KCE and others have said, last night was awesome for many reasons. Personally, it rocked because he was in the best mood I've ever seen him in. The San Francisco show had no interaction and he rushed through the set to leave, and the Santa Cruz show he just mumbled shit into the mic most of the night. He was even happier than previous years and the first tour with the Cardinals. Last night he talked a ton. At one point he was describing his underwear, and he sang an improvised happy-birthday song to some girl in the audience who he talked to while walking around taking requests.

Bottom line, and we all know it, is that you never know what side of Ryan Adams you're going to get at a show. I'm glad I ended my run on this one. It was pretty mega, rocked very hard and Rx was headbangin' and holding his guitar straight up while ripping riffs most of the night.
