mike squires Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan and Conner will both be making appearences in Champaign in October. Do do not having a lot of money to spend on concerts (hey, day care kills money dead) I could only pick one. I chose Adams. 7th row on the side. If M Ward lays along with Bright Eyes I may have to sell myself on the corner for 30 bucks. Which one would you pick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So Long Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sir Ryan Adams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan Adams. Mostly because I have seen Bright Eyes and wasn't too impressed-- never gotten the chance to see Ryan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan Adams. Mostly because I have seen Ryan Adams and was EXTREMELY impressed-- never gotten the chance to see Bright Eyes but I'd listen to SarahC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I was honestly expecting the first reply to be "Gram Parsons". I'd vote for Ryan Adams if I was to choose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 ryan, no question. i'm very biased though. i hate conor oberst & have a total man crush on ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rareair Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 i did see bright eyes a few months ago and he had a rather large band, a cool etch-o-sketch background and a white suit to boot. he sounded great as well. i would probably go with ryan adams but bright eyes most recent show was a large upgrade from the previous tour i saw.

DrNo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sorry folks, but I gotta go with Bright Eyes, even if I'm not that into the new album. Go check out the setlists from Ryan Adams' tour. BORING. "It takes two when it used to take one" :thumbdown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan Adams. I've made my opinion of Bright Eyes pretty clear in the past ... let's just say I'm not a fan and leave it at that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan. Unless you can confirm that Matt Ward appearance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Kick my vote into the Ryan Adams bucket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Seen both within the last 6 months. Bright Eyes with the large band and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings as opener. Highlight of that show was Gillian and David joining Conor and then the whole band for a couple of tunes. The Bright Eyes set was average, unless you're a 16 year-old girl, most of whom were unable to contain themselves (actually, that was pretty entertaining). Ryan Adams and the Cardinals was an excellent show. Most of the set was from ET, CR, JCN, 29 and LIH. One of the tightest, well-performed shows I've seen. I think you made the right choice.

cryptique Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The Ryan Adams crowd could easily beat up the Bright Eyes crowd. I'm not saying that's a criterion by which to decide. It's just an observation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rileykill Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ryan Adams. I'm not a Bright Eyes hater, but given the choice I'd pick RA. If Gillian Welch was the opener for the Bright Eyes show, I might change my vote. I would pick a Gillian Welch show over RA or BE any day of the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 If its with The Cardinals, then I'd say Ryan for sure, then again both times ive seen Conor he's put on a hell of a show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
