Ryan Adams Live

I’ve been meaning to follow up on one of The Blot’s very first posts, An Evening with Ryan Adams & The Cardinals. It was my very first concert review and I was hoping to eventually link to a recording of the show since almost every Ryan Adams concert finds its way onto the internet sooner or later. Thankfully a very gracious taper has recently uploaded the show to Archive.org’s Live Music Archive. You can download or stream a recording of Ryan Adams & The Cardinals’ October 18th, 2007 show in Houston, TX at the Verizon Wireless Theater here. It’s been posted in MP3 and Flac formats and is truly a great concert. Unfortunetly I didn't have a complete set list for my earlier post, so’ll include the entire set list for the Houston show below.

Before I do that though, a little birdie told me to forget the Houston show and check out a show from earlier that same tour. Dani G. recommended I immediately download/stream Adams’ October 14th, 2007 show at the famed Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA. I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet but I’ve been told the set list is equally as good as Houston’s, but the sound quality is 100 times better. You can find the Atlanta show here. Feel free to compare the two shows yourself and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear some other fans’ opinions on which is the better show.
