just picked up a ticket for night 2 standing! will be flying out to dublin, getting my pints in, seeing wilco and getting back on a plane to come back to london and catch ryan and the cards at hammersmith the following day. rock & roll.

...or desolation row, love minus zero/no limit, she belongs to me, it's alright ma, john wesley harding, girl from the north country to name a few. this set is lame.

where is my london date at?

i'm with you on this. CR & JCN happen to be my two favourite ryan albums, very closely followed by Heartbreaker. i'm all about the cardinals, what a stellar backing band. i sure hope what ryan has been saying lately about officially becoming a cardinal stands true.

you can listen to clips of the new album at his webiste: http://www.joshritter.com/historical/ i am looking forward to this one!

...or wish you were here for that matter, and i think many of the more hardcore floyd fans would argue that WYWH was floyd's best work (post-barrett), not dark side.

ouch!

23 and going strong.

still haven't recieved your package?

i hope this shows up on youtube at some point, as i dont get CNN over here.

now that's rock & roll. it would have been nice to run into one of them there so i could express my love for 'boxer'. i wonder if any members of wilco were at the national's gig at the astoria the following night? that sure was a rocking show!

good read, cheers for the link! i had no idea that wilco has had such an influence on the national.

my thoughts exactly. that and the RA box set that is due for release at the end of this year is also going to put a healthy dent in my (lack of) funds.

i feel for you mate, i really do. i have seen both wilco and ryan on their current tours (shepherds bush and bbc/koko respectively) and both were perhaps the best live musical experiences i have attended to date. however, the intimate/acoustic set-up with the cardinals is defnately a once in a lifetime experience. ryan has never sounded better and the song selection the cardinals are currently playing with this set-up is mind bending. the new songs are sounding great acoustic and an emotionally charged dear john/carolina rain/ blue hotel/goodnight hollywood boulevard is enough to make a man dr

yea, i feel bad for whoever is going to have to make that choice between seeing wilco or ryan on the release date of ET in a venue that small! mind you, tickets for that gig are going to be close to impossible to obtain...

unfortunatly, yes i think it is.

Cirque du Soleil founder and CEO Guy Laliberte, whose Love show at The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas is celebrating its one-year anniversary, will also join them on the sets. Laliberte show is known for featuring digitally remixed recordings

i don't understand why the album has been so neglected of late

i see where you are coming from, and many people have given me the same response about cutting the album down to one disc, but i would be very hard pressed to cut anything off the album. MS and rosebud and fantastic songs, though I would agree that beautiful sorta and blossom are some of the weaker tracks on the album. still, as much as i love easy tiger, there appears to be more 'filler' on this album than on CR, which i think flows brilliantly despite being 2 discs. to each his own though! on a side note: i hope this dvd that graboff mentioned is being released this year is all these st

i too am a big fan of easy tiger, but you think it is more consistent than cold roses??

yea, he had those on when i recently saw him at the bbc and koko here in the UK. i reckon it is because he had his book of lyrics on a stand in front of him and didn't want to be too obvious that he was reading from them. he also kept taking them off inbetween songs, so i think it was just to hide himself if he needed to use the book... sounds like last night was a great show, hope everyone had a geat time! the tunes, new and old, sound incredible with the current 'acoustic' set-up, especially goodnight rose, dear john, oh my god whatever and i see monsters.

indeed he is, but isn't he always?!

haha who just saw pat throw those marracas on the floor in a fit of musical rage pat is hardcore. i love it.
