Well, I'm 66 and I love Ryan's music and lyrics. Wonderful songwriter and a true musical artist. This is most certainly not the spoon fed garbage the mainstream "popular" music industry foists upon us. This particular song, like many of those written by Mr. Adams and some other artists, entices the listener to imagine the meaning of the lyrics while enjoying the musicality of the arrangement... Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. Best Regards, Ron from Texas
Thinking someone’s a ‘twat’ doesn’t also mean you don’t recognise their talent. Janis Ian: “Ryan Adams is an extremely talented songwriter - beautiful, wonderful stuff“. Her criticisms were of his attitude, not his work, which was spellbinding, and on another level to the other two that day, quite frankly. Neil and Ryan have previously had positive things to say about each other, too - including when Neil let Ryan use his studio for free while touring NZ. Despite an argument about Ryan not wanting to sing some backing vocals during this TV show, they both had complimentary things to say about each other during this show, too.
I watched that show went it went out and it was my introduction to Ryan Adams. I was floored by how fantastic he was, best performer/songwriter i have heard for many years.
I'm also 14 and I completely agree I would rather listen to Ryan Adams then any other artist alive. He's such a huge influence to a lot of people including myself.
If you like these Ryan Adams BBC songs, especially if you're not familiar with him, check out also on UA-cam: Ryan Adams with Neal Casal acoustic. Performing "Two" from St. James Church, Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland, on June 6, 2007, and other songs from the same night/performance. Guitar playing superb.
MLIN20. i want your babies!!! thank you so much for the upload. i tried to get tickets for this gig and was rejected. i was more angry than a wasp nest with a vibrator in it.
I don't think musical discernment is necessarily directly related to age. I'm not 30 yet. I've loved/listened to Ryan Adams, A.A. Bondy, and tons of other singer/songwriters for years. It's more a matter of lousy top 40 "hits" dominating radio. Interestingly enough, it isn't just the "kiddies" that listen to it non-stop. It's actually my annoying middle-aged coworkers. So, if you're tempted to post another "Thank God, there's hope for the next generation of music enthusiasts" comment... Don't.
@kiwiguy77 man this is quality music, if you don't appreciate it there is a cross in the top right hand corner of your screen click it! Seriously though, this is good!
I saw Neil in 1980 with the Split Enz; I respect his stuff. But what can you expect with little or no rehearsal between them? I wish they could have worked up his parts a little better, still a compelling tune.
I get that Neil Finn has clout, but I wish he would've just sat back and enjoyed, as Janis Ian was admiring, instead of noodling around trying to get in there. He especially ruined the ending.
DANGER!-NEVER EYEBALL THE CREATOR OF THE THE MUSIC-ESP WHEN IT'S DRA NEIL FINN KNUCKLIN IN WHERE HE WAS NEVER WANTED ON THIS TUNE HENCE-TITS UP CALLOB-FLY ALONE RYAN AS ONLY YOU DO BEST:)~~HAIL HAIL!!

Holy shit… he really was untouchable back then. What a spooky, beautiful, special talent. Even the God-like Neil Finn is in awe.
Untouchable songwriting.

This song depicts every emotion, human or otherwise. Simply indescribable.
Neil and Janis are shitting themselves watching this brilliant songwriter. I'm a huge Neil fan, but u can see he is in awe!!!!!
The whole time too. Truly incredible.
The look on yer man's face from Crowded house's says it all...
If only Dylan could dream of a drifter to you Caroline the torch was indeed passed on
Neil and Janis thought that Bryan was a twat. Google it.

Genius. DRA. What an extraordinary song and performance
this is just beautiful - absolutely astounding version - one of the jewels in the vast RYAN Adams catalog......
I watched that show went it went out and it was my introduction to Ryan Adams. I was floored by how fantastic he was, best performer/songwriter i have heard for many years.
Amazing! So good to hear this live and what a performance. Untouchable.
Ryan at his very VERY BEST !
I'm also 14 and I completely agree I would rather listen to Ryan Adams then any other artist alive. He's such a huge influence to a lot of people including myself.
for the music, not for the money - real beautiful to the ears and heart
come on. how good is this. jesus.
speechless, amazing talent. can't get enough!
One of the GREAT SONGS !
Ryan condensed an entire Netflix miniseries in 1 song.
I was just playing far cry 5 and one of the characters does a cover of this song. Nothing better for a Ryan Adams fan.
Phrasing. ❤
The screech in his voice is not usual but fuck it sounds great.
This is so good Ryan
stunning
when neil looks like he's in awe its a big deal
Ryan always brings it at The Bush Hall!
Amazing....
There is nobody better alive today.
Holy shit… he really was untouchable back then. What a spooky, beautiful, special talent. Even the God-like Neil Finn is in awe.
Damn. So good

SUPERNATURAL
ready to die. ready to live. ready to listen.

Caroline is worth it all
people that don't get it, I don't know what to do with them

To all the 14 year olds who like Ryan Adams listen to John Martyn.......
he will be remembered as baring the Dylan torch in the music history books I hope...if there are such thing as books in the future...ha
Indeed...
It's really good to know your 14. I would not respect your opinion if you were 13 though.
Watching it again, years later, and the years between have not had any kinder view of his stage mates- they have no idea.
Did you guys see the POP COUNTRY CRAP commercial before the video? Wow...
Ryan is in a different building than these guys.
+Lawrence Frauens I think Neil Finn is in the same building if not in a higher floor, fantastic performance from Ryan though can't get enough of this.
+Lawrence Frauens absolutely no comparison between all 3 each perfectly unique
I saw Neil in 1980 with the Split Enz; I respect his stuff. But what can you expect with little or no rehearsal between them? I wish they could have worked up his parts a little better, still a compelling tune.
So is Lindsay Buckingham...
Pleae someone tell me what this song is about?
I'm not good at English, and I can't understand the lyrics : (
I get that Neil Finn has clout, but I wish he would've just sat back and enjoyed, as Janis Ian was admiring, instead of noodling around trying to get in there. He especially ruined the ending.
Neil and Janis all thumbs
