It ain’t raining anymore. 244,920 minutes, two seasons, and a radical perspective later…Ryan Adams, yet again. The man cannot be stopped, and I can’t stop seeing him.
Overall the song selection wasn’t as epic as the Hammerstein Ballroom show, which was pretty much made for me. But it didn’t matter one bit. I got to hear some stuff not covered in the last three shows, including (yay!) I See Monsters and an unforgettable Wonderwall. Maybe you’re gonna be the one that saves me.
Last time I was here you were crying, you ain’t cryin anymore. The set’s highlight was an insanely mind-blowing Dirty Rain. Why do you see a guy over and over again? Because your mind can be blown by a somehow more intense rendition of song you’ve seen performed four times in 10 months. That’s why. And because the same notes can strike completely different nerves 244,920 minutes, and maybe a world, away.
Follow your gut, follow your heart.
