They are on to something folks. I wish they would just throw down a massive Amphitheatre/Arena tour next year. With a little nudge towards bigger venues this band will broadcast good vibes to the world! Ryan Adams and the Cardinals: PLEASE BUST OUT!!!

Just Keeps Getting Better Bryan Salva 2007-07-23 20:04:18 2007-07-23 20:04:18 5 absolutely amazing. well worth the 5 hour drive from santa barbara. they busted out the electric guitars for the first time on the tour (according to his publicist Ray who we talked to before the show). The band is so tight - not a single glitch. flawless show! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING mrmusicdude 2007-07-23 20:09:52 2007-07-23 20:09:52 5 I just have to say that all the post here are so well done, thank you for all that you do. I'm so happy to hear Ryan and the Cards doing it electric again. I just wish that they would have incorporated more of the new album with in this set. With that being said another great night from America's best songwriter and best band. One more thing, does anybody have any leads on the Wilshire Theatre show? The version of Goodnight Hollywood blvd. was amazing. Thanks again.. Another great one. rmacdad 2007-07-23 22:49:03 2007-07-23 22:49:03 5 Acoustic or electric, they just get better and better. They're on a roll austin nyc 2007-07-25 03:07:38 2007-07-25 03:07:38 5 Wow. I have seen RA so many times and so many times he just sucked. Just listen to the Munich gigs (Muffathalle and Elserhalle) and you know what I am talking about. Been to both. His skateboard accident seemed to have forced him to re-discover his acoustic soul and strip back his songs. The last couple of shows were just amazing and they made me understand Easy Tiger. The more amazing is his return to electric at The Catalyst (!). Couldn't have picked a better place. The band is so tight and Ryan is so - in the lack of a better word - focussed! 13 minutes of Easy Plateau is simply fantastic. Also great sound quality. If you love this show, do yourself a favor and check out Neal Casal's stuff. Hard to find the CDs unfortunately, but if you can get your hands around Fade Away Diamond Time go grab it. Heard him solo and with band a couple of times, he roc ks! See Neal´s pictures of the recent Cardinals tour at http://www.nealcasal.com/photosbync.html What's going on with Ryan?

I saw Ryan a few times with Phil Lesh and was less than impressed. I have a couple studio recordings that haven't kept my attention for very long. Man, I can't believe what I've been missing. This show kicks ass and what a band the Cardinals are. The recording quality is top notch and the song selection is great. What a show! jeffsetz 2007-08-04 01:28:25 2007-08-04 01:28:25 5 Great show! Hopefully they will upload the Red Rocks show from Friday 8/3. Another fantastic showing by The Cardinals. Side note: The show at the TLA in Philly (June) was Ryan's first gig back on guitar and was electric. His publicist is wrong!! Great show! nedboz 2007-08-06 15:33:16 2007-08-06 15:33:16 5 what a great show and great recording..... i was blowin away with the guitar work... neal and ryan are fantastic together.. there is definetly a jerry garcia flavour there for sure awesome mailhot 2007-08-11 02:26:11 2007-08-11 02:26:11 5 I would like to give a big thank you to all the people making this possible which would be the Cardinals and the people putting up the recordings. These shows sound unbelievable! 1st Red Cave show in a while sounds super-tight! We drove down from Portland and caught the S.F. and Berkeley shows before coming back for the home show. They played alot of the same songs but seeing them alter between acoustic and electric shows just left us itching for more. Hands down the best R.A. shows I've seen since seeing him at the Gothic in Denver in '01. As far as the band playing these size venues, we need to cherish this before they move on to bigger venues. After the Portland show the entire band came into the bar connected to the venue after the show. The ladies were harassing Ryan a bit but all the band members were all very personable. We won't get that if they start playing amphitheatres. Thanks for all your hard work barrio31 2007-08-14 16:47:55 2007-08-14 16:47:55 5 It's been 4 weeks since I saw The Cardinals at the Michigan Theater and I've been immersing myself in the abundance of great shows available on this website ever since. Thank you Cardinals, thank you dedicated recordists! "When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around..." What a show! Great clarity, great ambience - next best thing to being there. Thank you so very much. Beautiful Band - Great Performance edzep54 2007-10-20 14:41:04 2007-10-20 14:41:04 5 This might be the moment when The Cardinals decided to become the Grateful Dead. Grateful Dead Billy Congo 2008-02-01 03:54:25 2008-02-01 03:54:25 0 An electrical oasis in the acoustic desert that was mid-2007. The band played several months of acoustic shows, waiting for Ryan to heal and the right venue to go balls out. Picking the Catalyst, Neil Young's old stomping grounds, to bust out a feedback laden rock show was nothing short of genius. Big thanks to Tom Hambleton (of sugarmtn.org fame). Killer! hh4 2008-02-14 00:29:57 2008-02-14 00:29:57 5 always heard he/they were good...but never bothered to listen...wish I had sooner, but better late than never...original material, but the most reverent nod to the allmans/dead/neil I've ever heard...can you hear that jerry 71 in peaceful valley/trouble on wheels? is he channeling spirits of rock past? being that i live in santa cruz, i'm both ashamed that i missed the show, and proud that he did us right with some high quality rock...dowload now! oh my god loonylobo 2008-02-28 05:42:09 2008-02-28 05:42:09 5 Download now and see why...
