Comments on: Review: Ryan Adams & The Cardinals – Overture Hall http://www.muzzleofbees.com/2008/10/06/review-ryan-adams-the-cardinals-overture-hall/ Half of it's you, Half is me Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:16:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Craig http://www.muzzleofbees.com/2008/10/06/review-ryan-adams-the-cardinals-overture-hall/comment-page-1/#comment-110613 Craig Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:25:39 +0000 http://www.muzzleofbees.com/?p=4159#comment-110613 I was 2nd row center Mezz, and I too thought the vocals suffered a bit. The sound quality was fantastic; just thought the Ryan's mic level could have come up a bit; even had a hard time hearing the between song banter. In the end, the Cardinals gave us a wonderful (and lengthy) show with plenty of new material. I'm anxious to hear this show's recording compared to the one I saw in Red Rocks last summer; seems like some songs have been getting reworked a bit. And finally, my one real gripe with the show...why do people feel compelled to yelp, yeehaw and woohoo during the soft parts of a song or song lead-ins? Is it like nervous laughter? To me, it's just disrespectful douchieness. And I swear, if you're sitting next to me and it happens, you will get an elbow right in the yelper.

This was a fantastic show (much better than the truncated State Theater show last year in Minneapolis), and the venue is one of the best I've been to-you people in Madison are lucky to have it. I've written a review myself (to add to Ryan's already stellar review) check it out if you would like. Cheers. http://wordstosell.vox.com/library/post/ryan-adams-the-cardinals-overture-hall-madison-wi-100508.html I agree.

(cough) could a band play more tighly ? you do not suck anymore VXO man, what a show — ryan adams was prima donna of the cardinals minor key with voice, lyrics, accoustics, and finally, (shut the fuck up) repetoire with audience–despite his attempt to be under-recognized in press, new album and website (www.ryan-adams.com).

I agree with the reviewer, last year's show at the Barrymore was great, but this was even better. My favorite songs were "Goodnight Rose," "Easy Plateau" and the closer "When The Stars Go Blue." There were definitely a lot of idiots screaming out requests. I enjoyed it when Ryan put that one guy in his place though, especially when he made the comment that they wanted to play for people who came here with an open mind.

It was to a point where I couldn't even hear the other lead guitar parts very well. Wasn't there for the guy yelling for Whiskeytown, but some douche up by my row was yelling for some other song over and over again, despite people telling him to shut up. Good show- from my POV not as good as last year's Madison or Milwaukee shows- just longer, and certainly not as good as My Morning Jacket in Milwaukee Friday night, which was unreal- can't believe there isn't a review for it...

He loved the show and couldn't sit down. It's great watching people get so much enjoyment out of music. That muppet in the front row was my friend Kevin, who is a Ryan Adams superfan.

Met Ryan before the show at Fair Trade Coffee. He told my friends that they looked like "elves". Haha. Goodnight Rose was my personal highlight. It was so funny how they mocked the whole fine ordeal.
