I still think this is one of his most underrated songs, I could put a million things about Ryan Adams but I think it's all been said before - if you "get" it you will forever.......there is just something that makes you feel right there in the middle of his songs every single time, he is a truly unique man
I think that there's a big difference between "sloppy" or "off", and "loose". I think that this performances is "loose" and this typifies many of RATC's performances. If they were anything else, then we wouldn't find them so mesmerizing. I respect your op, but this IS Ryan, nothing more nothing less.
Overdriven mics.......overdriven voice.......lyrics which reflect the same........i have often wondered even about the studio version of this song.......perfectly mixed......but the voice ....reflects the soul which generated the lyrics.....and their content............Burned out landscape .......except......the remains of life remain. Plus......he may not have wanted anyone to get a perfect recording in that venue......who knows.....the kid's soul is laid bare in most of what I have heard of him.........keepin it real......and I agree with you. It is him.
Thanks so much for posting this!! Also, I went to Ireland on vacation Sep '07. It (especially Dingle) is the most beautiful place I've ever been. If you ever get a chance to go, do it!!
Thanks so much for posting these.... very good! Love the one about Cher's ass, just another example of his wicked sense of humor. Thanks again! BTW you have a great account name.... kinda of wish I had thought of it!
Thats fine, much better than 'it is what it is'. I know you've uploaded another one, and the sound unfortunately didn't get rid of the distortion and it wouldn't would it if it is in the original file. Congrats on uploading wonderful content, that in itself magnifies the problem. But i have to say, all your other videos have the same sound, so it begs the question that its the orignal file. Very Good content anyway :-)
Look, I've ALREADY addressed this problem. This is, quite simply, the sound present on the original file. Maybe you can fix it. I don't have the resources.
Let me explain what jaysis means. you've processed it with the input gain too high, which results in clipping (distortion). This is the classic sound of major clipping!! Ps. I've noticed you have the same distortion sound on your other videos of other artists too. So maybe it isn't 'what it is'.
I agree there's a big difference between sloppy and loose. This one is sloppy at the beginning but better as they go. I think most live performances are better than studio cut because of the loose sound but this is not that. They just missed it in the first quarter of the song. As a guitar player myself I'm familiar with playing loose versus being off rhythm. They are definitely off at the start. Sometimes you just have to play through it which they did.
This whole performance is kind of sloppy in my opinion. I'm a HUGE fan but this whole set is a bit off. I love the format and the set performed but I think it could have been better rehearsed. The timing wasn't good between the two in this and other songs from this set. They need a do-over. 3 stars.

Good Post!
You can even see Ryan realize this at about 0:26 as he shifts about a bit and gathers himself.

It's a Harmony, I know that. Model name or number, can't tell ya...
sorry! corrected. Who'd have thought there'd be TWO St. James Curches!

jaysis the sound again,,,, can you upload it again with some tone control please... thanks
I'm not gonna go so far as to say that people who don't like him don't 'get' him, but I'm totally with you on everything past the ellipses.

they are kinda like Jack White and Brendan Benson from the raconteurs, both singer-songwriters working together
what guitar is he using?
Nope. It is what it is.
