The jam in the middle is guitar genius, it's an out of body experience. Not many current guitarists can even approach that level of playing, yet Ryan gets so little recognition. RIP Neal, you are sorely missed.
@@wlgj1341 I can't even find you in a Google search. You at least have to show up there to get some validation, or get over it. Obscurity sucks I guess.
Absolutely!! Man, i love Ryan's new music, but I can't help wonder what it would sound like with the Cardinals. Doesn't get much better. The performances from the Henry Rollins show are my favorite... these sessions are a close second.
Fantastic. As soon as he started singing, he had my complete attention. I discovered his captivating voice on an episode of Blue Bloods titled Silver Star. Just beautiful.
Ryan is a total tool, but the work w the Cardinals is undeniable. Killer version w the Grateful Dead vibe jam in the middle. RIP Neal, lucky to have seen you live.
I love 95% of Ryan's music, but seriously, he's never had a better band than The Cardinals. I've seen them 5 times, and each time was a complete different yet just as magical trip
Just now learning Neal died by suicide last August. This breaks my heart. This song popped into my head yesterday and I needed to hear it again. The world lost another top notch guitarist and singer.
In 2007, Netherlands, Europe, Ryan A. & C. started their gig with this song, lifting me and everyone else up, to put us down on our feet two hours later after a mindblowing version of I See Monsters. Best concert of my life.
From the 2min mark on, it’s an absolute masterpiece of musicianship. I love Ryan’s albums , esp easy tiger and cold roses. This performance is like the figurative “jumps out of the page” scene. Just a simply magnificent performance…what I’d give for a dvd (lol) of this whole session of the cardinals in full flight. RIP Neal!
Ryan Adams is arguably the greatest and most prolific songwriter of his generation. It really is a shame how his career was bascially destroyed overnight. There are other legendary artists who have done far worse and are still remembered fondly.
@@macrosenseEXACTLY he was cleared of anything horrid and the major big mouth against him has recently been proven as a creep that enjoys making up things to hurt men. Phoebe Bridgers is a psycho. There’s texts proving she made up stories to hurt Ryan out of spite like she did for 3-4 other men. Another woman doing the same to Neil is what drove him to suicide. It’s disgusting. This band was brilliant. Unreal how pettiness can ruin life
Would have to be my favourite youtube clip. Perfectly captures the live brilliance of R. Adams and the Cardinals. Having caught their shows a couple of times all the way down in Australia around 2007/2009. They were absolutely outstanding!
Very cool. Ryan Adams with his band featuring the great Neal Casal. Those two made some unbelievable music. Neal has a great catalogue of his own but him teaming up with Ryan Adams is pure magic.
+Todd Garno You two guys know whats going on, yep this era of Ryan with the Cardinals was majestic, saw them a fair few times. Was a bit worried the first few times i saw him with the Shining but last few gigs were really excellent, maybe not quite as good as this but still top notch. Loving how he can do this and and at the same time do the Taylor Swift covers and make them sound like they could be his to begin with, all good...
I will never forget The Cardinals. That was the most amazing period in my life. Followed their tour here in the US in 2006/2007...ended up seeing them 26 times, got to smoke some really good green with Ryan and Neal 3 or 4 times, long conversations with Neal sitting on the curb by the tour bus. Taught me A LOT considering I'm a singer/songwriter myself...especially Neal. He's an amazing dude to kick it with. When it comes to Ryan, it depends on what mood he's in at the time. I miss The Cards so much.
ryan adams ... you were born in the wrong decade. the 1960's are the time of your calling . you speak to me although you are the age of my children. i love your poetry and your "hippy mentality.. thank you.. i love your music..you are an amazing human!
One of the BEST SONGS written in the last decade, , , I really love the studio version but this is awesome, , amazing guitar interplay, , looking forward to more genius from you Ryan!
Amazing track. It just explodes in the middle. The drummer is really follow the difficult guitar part on his crashes. And then you have the psychedelic mellow melodic part. Than back to the beginning. Its a powerful journey. There's a looseness to the band. Not every section blends into the next. But an explosive middle section in this song.
I grew up listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse. This reminds me of their sound, but with the Ryan Adams touch and like I said the band is the great.
First Chris and now we lost Casal.... I'm glad I got to see them play together years ago! Those guys could take a song wherever it wanted to go! Miss 'em both! Sorry, John for the previous post in which I accused you of being dead! I'm gettin' old, ya know.....
@@mysecretworld6603 I'm so sorry! I'm at an age where my name recaller is not what it used to be! John is rather well, and I should consider proof reading my comments from now on!
@@grandudetonesnob7107 Phew thank God, i'm still getting my head round Neals passing. I never saw that coming in those circumstances as he always appeared such a happy go lucky fella. I saw the Cardinals around 20 times and its shocking two are now gone as it only seems like yesterday. Well i'm the same buddy, my problem is not remembering things like song titkes and the rest, none of us getting younger. Stay healthy and stay happy my friend.
the definitive version....the first time I ever heard it. The first song I ever heard of Ryan's? What Sin Replaces Love live from the Henry Rollins Show on 4/20/2007. I then saw Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, this exact lineup, in summer 2007 at Red Butte Gardens. One of the most incredible bands ever. almost effortless the way they jammed.
I know this was the best band at the time …. Wished had seen this live but, by the magic of the Tube of You, I can imagine being there… with an egg shaker.
Here in 2022. Just been getting into DRA’s latest stuff. Inevitably I’m drawn back here to this golden era. Also to the poster who said this is pure aural crack.. yesss 💯
I'd love to see Ryan collaborate with Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes... I think they're both from the same musical world. Love this and everything Ryan does
They were the best band in the land for a while there. Glad I got to see them a bunch, though it was never enough. Going to see him in Maine, VT & RI in July. My only planned vacation revolves around DRA
Probably the best song released in the first decade of the 2000's** - and what a version! (** Strong competition from "Sleepdriving" by Grand Archives though!)

@@craig5649 and also for the record, we aren’t sure you could find your dick between your legs, monkey..?
i believe this was the best band in the world at this time.
baliscotsurf one of!
+baliscotsurf i don't believe, i know you are right ;-)
Agree 110%
Absolutely!! Man, i love Ryan's new music, but I can't help wonder what it would sound like with the Cardinals. Doesn't get much better. The performances from the Henry Rollins show are my favorite... these sessions are a close second.
So blessed to have seen them in action.
Incredibly powerful version. The band is on fire playing this. This is hall of fame worthy performance
RIP, Neal. Such a heartbreaking loss. Much love.
Logan Starkey I agree, had to come watch this after hearing the sad news.
Neal and Space Wolf are jamming again.
Ryan n Neal were the next Simon n Garfunkel
Fantastic. As soon as he started singing, he had my complete attention. I discovered his captivating voice on an episode of Blue Bloods titled Silver Star. Just beautiful.
RIP Neal Cassal and Chris Feinstein. An absolutely amazing band at the peak of their powers.
So true , this was Ryan's best band in my opinion.
RIP Neal and Space Wolf!
They did very little at all together compared to Neal and Adams
My wife and I just saw Ryan Adams & The Cardinals in Nashville. They rocked! And the played this tune also.
R.i.p. Neal Casal
I really wish they would release the entire Avatar sessions on DVD!
Yes, albeit re-engineered.
This is so ridiculously good! I love the Cardinals! Can't wait to see Ryan live again next year!!!!
Ryan is a total tool, but the work w the Cardinals is undeniable. Killer version w the Grateful Dead vibe jam in the middle. RIP Neal, lucky to have seen you live.

They are sounding on form here
The Sweetheart Revolution ain't bad right?
What a killer version of this song! Jerry is smiling.
I miss the cardinals.
God damn, me too dude. Me too.
Just now learning Neal died by suicide last August. This breaks my heart. This song popped into my head yesterday and I needed to hear it again. The world lost another top notch guitarist and singer.
Ode to Ryan...Neal...the Dead...just simply amazing

Woow. What a band. Such a sound. Nothing beats this kind of togetherness
Steady your soul. That man can write poetry better than anyone
Soul is not a genre. It is what they bring right here. Manna for guitarists.
this world is not right. This video should be ranked number first in youtube... it's the best damn thing i've found in the last years... genius band
I think this is one of the best rock songs ever written.
Chefs kiss on this one. Everyone compliments each other.
Such a heartbreaking loss. RIP, Neal Casal.

in 2019 there is a thing called music.I listen to it...i take out the garbage and listen to the good stuff..and im back here
….. never get tired of this performance, this 335 and whatever rig Ryan is playing through here is dope!
Ryan Adams is arguably the greatest and most prolific songwriter of his generation. It really is a shame how his career was bascially destroyed overnight. There are other legendary artists who have done far worse and are still remembered fondly.
I agree!
Oh Ryan that man gives me some serious shivers!
God he is so hot I’d sure take him to his bed and lay him down.
From the reports it just sounds he gets clingy and needy. The stuff a lot of guys got up to in the 60s and 70s sounds way worse.

Rest In Peace Brother Neal. Enjoy that kind Jerry show in Forevers Sky for me until I join you one fine day...
I keep coming back to this song and video. It haunts me with its beauty.
Very cool. Ryan Adams with his band featuring the great Neal Casal. Those two made some unbelievable music. Neal has a great catalogue of his own but him teaming up with Ryan Adams is pure magic.
This is beautiful. This man is a musical genius.
From 2:45 till 4:05 is why you play in a band. Pure Crack! Ryan's face at 3:04 is the Punk Metal kid coming out. I can't get enough of this session.
+Todd Garno I saw his current band a few months ago and was so glad they played this. Not quite up to the levels they reach here but it was very good.
Parry Wolfe I bet that was awesome! This band here was something special for sure. They brought it every night if you were lucky enough to see them.

Nick Sweat killing me today, man. He was such a kind guy.
Stumbled upon this gem...absolutely amazing!
Excellent! Neal Casal was such an underrated talent. And Ryan, oh my god!
If you like to smoke a j and listen to this on your headphones loud...I wanna be your friend.
Still reigning supreme all these years later.
When he's on form Adams always delivers brilliantly live. When he's fucked up its a disaster.
Still amazing after 16 years
Absolutely great guitar tone!
Geryl Nontell right? It's absolutely dirty and warm and twangy.
RA&C could hold on to this level of intensitiy during a whole gig, on their good nights.
I was lucky to be there, on an good night.
How can anybody dislike this? This is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard! Thanks for sharing
Masterpiece
This is the best version RIP neal
This track takes me to Gibson Heaven every time. 🤘🏻🥃

Long live Neal Casal
Rip 💔
Ryan and the Cardinals always killed it . I bet Ryan misses jammin 'with Neal Casal and the boys . I was lucky enough to see them a couple of times .
This is peak Neal. RIP
This song is so badass
One of the BEST SONGS written in the last decade, , , I really love the studio version but this is awesome, , amazing guitar interplay, , looking forward to more genius from you Ryan!
he'll yes, cold roses and Jacksonville city nights are two of the best albums ever made
ever
Ugh....Ryan does things to me. I love him. I love him.
Amazing track. It just explodes in the middle. The drummer is really follow the difficult guitar part on his crashes. And then you have the psychedelic mellow melodic part. Than back to the beginning. Its a powerful journey.

This is so unbelievably good.
That's Rock and Roll and I'm crying Ryan. Steven. Help
yeah this is like "drink whiskey and dance around the house in lacy underthings" type music. Love it!
A. Carmela Angeli that is the perfect description!
Damn straight...All the great elements are there in a 8 minute package...Pure Ryan Adams greatness with a great band...
Love you Ryan and Neal
Love this band!
The sound of heaven right there
Neal, we miss you every day.
I'm in love with this.
True Gem! Best Ryan song for me! Love this!
Holy Christ. I've just had an experience
incredible performance..
I grew up listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse. This reminds me of their sound, but with the Ryan Adams touch and like I said the band is the great.
That was sick. Can't wait for this band to get back together.
Impossible. Two of them have passed beyond this living world.
Amazing performance.
Check out his set from the Soskilde Festival summer of 2015 here on utube. Best set ever.....waaaay better than his Glastonbury set last year....
Beautiful song, unbeatable team!

Oddly enough it really starts at 4:20… lolol
i love how the transition sets in around 4:20
such a great tune, goosebumps all the way around!
About as close to a perfect song as there is. DAYUM

I'd agree with that, it somehow never gets old, absolute gem!
Holy Shit
What a song!
Peak Ryan Adams.

'Cuz there ain't nothing but the truth up on Magnolia Mountain where nobody ever dies. Steady your soul and ease your worry, they got a room for you.
I like Ryan Adams who play with The Cardinals.
great band.
Love the sweet warm glow of the red or blue light on those Fender amps!!! Not to mention the great classic sound. Princeton Reverb perhaps?!
No matter what you think of Ryan and his bullshit this is an incredible version of this song. RIP Neal.
If I could get tone like that out of my guitar setup, I don't think I'd leave my basement. Man, that 335 and SG sound good together!
has nothing to do with the 335 or sg. all in those magical hands
It's a crime this video sessions are not available in better quality
