I'm here in the second row somewhere. : ) One of the greatest concert experiences of my life. Certainly the best festival. ACL really did it right the first year!
Why is everyone making a fuss about what he said? He was VERY CLEARLY high or drunk or a combination of the two. That is a un-sober man if ever I saw one.
Well the chatter in the beginning is awfully silly but once the song starts who cares! Ryan rocks! One of my fave Male voices. I was wondering if there were any clips of this particular song and as always You Tube delivers!!!
He's talking just like Mitch Hedberg...Except without the humor. But really, when people get famous they just get up on stage and say the most ridiculous stuff and get away with it. I play local music and if I ever acted like that I would get booed off the stage. What a cocky, smug man he is. He and John Mayer are perfect for each other.
Funny, I was just going to say he talks just like Mitch Hedberg. I don't care about his stage patter though; who cares when the song is that awesome? At least he's trying to engage the audience.
Mostly the music. I mean I hear popular artists (like George Harrison, Billy Preston, Elton John, etc.) who do religious lyrics and I don't care because the music is good. But bands like Creed, The Almost, and Jars of Clay who are Christians band with mainstream success suck because of the sheer repetitiveness of their songs and overbearing religious themes of their songs.
LOVE IT !
He is drunk and stoned. It doesn't matter. What a great performance.
I was at this show! I love this guy. I wish he would play again. Great footage.
Just been watching Old School and had to look this song up. Great song.
the drums in this version are brilliant! i love the energy
Drummer is Brad Pemberton.
One of my all time favorite live rock clips. KILLING IT
Maaan, this is the shit! I can't believe he's started playing this one at a slow pace at his shows. This is rock'n'roll the way it should be.

Great !!
THIS IS A BLAST THANKS
fkn love this music
so glad this exists on YT. :)))
I'm young and he's right. Oh the rain...
I think TS should be a mensch and cover his "Heartbreaker" album. It would be a blast to hear her scream "Lord, I got high!".
+radiozero93 brilliant idea!
"smokin the pot, eatin some bbq, thinkin about fkn." lol.
Big up UK! love you Ryab
Seeing him at Acl Live on the 4th
i love ryan!
Who cares about anything beyond the music? No need. It's good enough.
I've heard stories too, but so what? I don't know him, I just love his music. go read the enquirer if that's what you care about.
Obviously that person above must be talkin bout themselves...R.A is one of todays best!!!
This was ACL '04 - I was there - he was off his trolley
That is great.
Why is everyone making a fuss about what he said? He was VERY CLEARLY high or drunk or a combination of the two. That is a un-sober man if ever I saw one.
amazing
F@#king Fantastic!
This is from Sept '03. Ryan is in his "Sticky Fingers" phase, he played a great cover of "Brown Sugar", that day.
ryan adams can say what ever the fuck he wants. hes ryan adams...
PLAY IT LOUD, RYAN!! ;)
like any great rock and roller, he thinks with his two little brains instead of his one big one.
That WAS fuckin ROCKIN
oh man is right
I live in Maine and I'm sad.
pretty cool...
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible
thinking about fuuuuuuuuuuuking LOL!
How much did he sound like Mitch Hedberg? A lot is the answer I guess.
sober since 04 .. LOL
even he himself says different!
@ethylmercaptan69 Totally agree mate, it always sounds better when your out yer head!
Thats his Mitch Hedberg impersonation during the comedy commentary
bad ass motherfuckin' song.
Well the chatter in the beginning is awfully silly but once the song starts who cares! Ryan rocks! One of my fave Male voices. I was wondering if there were any clips of this particular song and as always You Tube delivers!!!
ryan adams is pretty close to jesus, and he wrote a lot of stuff.
@11rockiton
when you write and release 10 plus great albums and acheive success youll be able to say whatever you want too.;)
@ryanat You're dead on. I noticed it too.
@dwinkle99 He was clearly joking.

@ 0:12 that certainly aged like already rancid milk.
obdviously during his speedball days lol
Ryan Adams, who is actually a very talented and prolific songwriter, as opposed to Bryan Adams whose songs are commercial dribble.
that doesn´t mean that I dont love him:) Lol. i really love him. i just really dislike every guy that got 6 feet close to him
That was the douchiest intro ever...."look at me look at me!!"
haha he is high as a kite...still not sure which Ryan is best...blitzed Ryan or sober Ryan...

yeah you're gonna need all sorts of coke to get through a hot day of performing that hard.
ya think? LOL.
lol begining is soooo awkward.
Learn how to spell his first name. Then criticize his language if you must.
Learn to spell first: Then criticize my beliefs or lack thereof
this bryan adams has a foul mouth
yah he gave up being sober
crapest bridge in a song ever, what was he thinking!?
