It’s been a while since I promised to post a recap of the Ryan Adams and the Cardinals show that I went to in Salem. I guess I’ve been busy, but the show was incredible. Ryan was pretty talkative and the Cardinals seemed pretty cool. I came across the recorded show last night and downloaded it. I’m hoping to give it a full listen today on our drive up to Portland for Rachel’s birthday. Below are a couple of my favorite tracks from the night.

The Rescue Blues

Oh My Sweet Carolina

I am so excited for tomorrow night. After a few days of scouring craigslist for tickets to tomorrow’s Ryan Adams show in Salem I finally found three pretty good tickets. Believe it or not, I’ve never seen Ryan in concert. I had a couple opportunities when I was in grad school, but couldn’t bring myself to miss class.I didn’t even realize Ryan was coming to the area until I was looking for some of his music on The Hype Machine and saw Salem, OR listed as an upcoming tour stop. I immediately tried to buy a couple tickets online but they were all sold out so I then checked all the online resale sites without any luck. Finally last night I struck Gold. While up in the middle of the night fixing some DMX issues, I checked craigslist and found what would eventually be my seats to the show - and pretty good seats at face value, too.I’ll definitely provide a recap and photos tomorrow.

Yesterday Cam told me that Ryan Adams and the Cardinals were playing a live concert on MHD. I quickly set the DVR and got home from work today with the Yahoo! Music/Nissan Live Music Set ready to go. It was only half an hour, but it was awesome. Seeing Ryan Adams play in HD is the only way to go. If you have MHD, you definitely need to check this set out (it’s on all the time).

In other Ryan Adams news, he’s got another album coming out next week (believe it or not!).
