Happy @ 27. announcements The mix is all over the place and strange for a while -- especially in the first song, where everything but the vocals and drums comes and goes seemingly at random. Once it settles in, the mix is usually quite balanced (though at times the horns and organ are not well represented). Jesse Malin opened up, but I was unable to record his set + = Ryan is unfortunately a bit sketchy on a lot of the lyrics to this song ^ = seems to be the last documented live performance of these songs % = seems to be the next to last documented performance of this song @ = only known performance of this Rolling Stones cover, w/Jesse Malin on guitar and vocals I had started out this show in a PERFECT dead center up-front location, and just as I put up my mics to record Jesse Malin, the park security surrounded me and told me that even though Ryan is very open about allowing taping, that taping wasn't allowed in the park they didn't care...and that I'd have to pack up and leave. So I packed up....but being this was a HUGE outdoor show I walked and walked and found a repeater speaker that had nobody at all near it (except for one other taper), so I put my mics back up, pointed them right into the single repeater speaker, and that's what you hear here, essentially a mono recording with no crowd intrusion at all. Far from ideal, but really not bad (once I reduced the overpowering bass response on the recording). This seems to be the only show that Ryan played between 1/28/2003 and 11/5/2003 and the final performance of this lineup known as "Ryan Adams And The Pinkhearts", with only Brad Rice from this band continuing to play with Ryan Pinkhearts Lineup (thanks to "The Answering Bell" http://www.archiveasylum.com/ab/setlists.php): Ryan Adams (Vocals / Guitar) Dan Eisenberg (Organ / Wurlitzer) Jesse Malin (Vocals) * Billy Mercer (Bass / Background Vocals) Brad Pemberton (Drums) Brad Rice (Guitar / Background Vocals) Unknown (Trumpet) Unknown (Saxophone) I found a nice set of photos from this show (not taken by me) here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/marcevan/sets/72157600113301548/detail/ Taper notes: For BARN160, I bring you a classic uncirculated Ryan Adams set. This is after his big hit "Gold" but well before The Cardinals, hooking up with Phil Lesh, fights with his record labels, etc. Some of you might know that Ryan (at least back at this time) was quite the erratic performer -- he could be brilliant or awful from one night to the next. At the time (this was the first of only 2 times I ever saw Ryan), I found this show to be brilliant in spots, but on the whole to be unfocused (with Ryan babbling on and on about silly stuff), quite sloppy in terms of performance (looking back now, this was a 1-off show not part of any tour and it'd been 6 months since he'd last played -- and it'd be nearly as many months before he'd play again, and with a different band and a mostly different repertoire of tunes)...though you can't completely write it off as there are some tunes that are truly excellent. Ryan does cop to being hungover from the night before and to having slept throught 2 practices the band was supposed to have...so that may explain some things. Setting the scene, this was a FREE concert in Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan (where coincidentally my beautiful wife Jen and I would have my wedding almost 4 years minus 3 days later -- though at this point we hadn't met yet) on a SCORCHINGLY hot day. For a few years going the park was throwing a free show every July 4th, and this show with Ryan and Jesse Malin was the offering in 2003, and having heard that Ryan was very cool about allowing open taping, I got there early and set up in a great spot, hoping to also tape Jesse Malin. My plans were thwarted by Park security who told me that they didn't care what Ryan's policy was and that I was not allowed to tape in the park. So I just cleared out, found a repeater speaker far away that nobody was near, and put my mics right up to it....so that's what you have here, essentially a mono recording, but clear and crisp (after I wiped away a ton of overpowering bass from being so close to the PA). 11 years later I finally present this capsule of Ryan at the time for you to check out for yourself.
