Ryan Adams - City Hall

comet

What can we expect from this show I wonder, I've heard his gigs can be hit and miss, some excellent some dodgy. Solo show should be interesting, anyone know if theres any support act?

Who's Ryan Adams?

Mr E

Ryan Adams is cool.... Holy sh1t - there are still tickets available for it. Did that City Hall gig just go on sale?

- Dave.

comet

They've been on sale nearly 2 months, doesn't seem to be that much talk about it though. He's been raved about in the musical press over the last year so its a great chance to see him. Bono + The Corrs covered his beautiful song "When the stars go blue" recently. A lot of people seem to think he's Bryan Adams!

Ryan Adams played London last night, this was the setlist apparently

Oh My Sweet Carolina Tomorrow Sweet Lil Gal (23rd/1st) To Be Young (Is to be Sad, Is to be High) The Fools We Are As Men Sylvia Plath Call Me On Your Way Back Home Batering Lines My Winding Wheel Dear Chicago You Will Always Be the Same Brown Sugar La Cienega Just Smiled Encore Lovesick Blues The Rescue Blues Everything in Its Right Place Wonderwall 2nd Encore Come Pick Me Up

I can't wait for it, it's really good that an artist like him is playing in Cork instead of just playing Dumpland and nowhere else.
Fair play to the Cork City Arts Committee for bringing him here.

Pint for anyone who shouts out "Play Summer of 69!!" and gets heard.

I wanna hear about him having all the lights turned on again:D

Pep

The gig was amasing he has a really good voice,( the support guy was great cant remember his name though) and he was really funny not wot I expected I thought he was a bit of a slurly bast*rd, the set list was class but none of the big singles

He played a few others but I dont know the names

He also played a song he wrote the day of the gig, he really got into it at the end but was forced to leave cos of the curfew dose anyone know if he played anywhere else later?

comet

Yeah, what a gig, fantastic!! Was the curfew the reason he left? I was wondering why cos he seemed to be getting really into it and the crowd were loving it. He had played 2 encores in recent gigs so it was a slight anti-climax when the house lights came up and i realised he wasn't coming back. The songs sounded so good solo, its the way to hear them i think. The support guy was Jesse Malin and yeah he was cool a great way to open a great night. I had the full setlist(yours looks pretty right), but i've left it at home, got a couple of pics too hopefully they come out.

Pep

I got the setlist off the stage and his packet of fags aswell

comet

nice one, the last couple of songs at the end were Amy and Game of Hearts

Mr E

Damn.... wish I'd gone now

Didn't know Jesse Malin was supporting. Got his CD a few weeks ago and its been in my car stereo since.

Feck.

As in the Nada Surf song Firecracker? The chorus goes along the lines of
"Firecracker the one you keep inside, Firecracker you don't know how to light"

Pep

No his own song firecracker as in "I just wana be your firecracker, maybe be your baby tonight"
