Justin C With you, man. Unlike some, I actually get a kick out of watching RA shed his skins, pick up new musicians, and make some more incredible new music. But never was he better than with Neil Casals on his left, playing and singing. The unplugged session in County Cork, Ireland, with just RA and Casals playing and singing together--transcendent!
runs thru my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like thunderstorm. How many things in life are just like that. so damned perfectly felt and described.
Ryan Adams music is all about the details. no matter what type of music people are into all will agree that Ryan is wicket talented . i get it!!! he is far above all else and the fact that we hear it makes us lucky.
Love him singing Pearls on a string.His voice really carries.Do you think Ryan Adams gets sent all the teeshirts that nobody else will wear?lol.Noticed him donning an Iron Maiden one in another video..
Ryan is already one of the all-time greats and deserves a lot more recognition. As for FORtheCURE2008's comments...I believe you don't know what songwriting is about. Songs are living things that change with the mood of the singer.
yup that line's amazing. every time I hear it I wish I could've written that, and it makes me think of how moving it must be for the person he wrote it for.
I completely agree with Jeff. I like the album version but this is much better. Thank God for TH-cam because I can listen too it whenever I'm on the computer.
The only reason I've favourited this video is that How Do You Keep Love Alive is my favourite Adams song and I can't find another video when hes singing it live. The album version is a trillion times better, however. I've seen this guy live 3 times now and not once has he played How Do You Keep Love Alive.
just heard a band in the park where i live that reminded me of this band ," Old californio " wish you guys would come perform here in Paso robles ca. either in the park or at the midstate fair !
It's actually called "how do you keep love alive?" which might make it easier to find tab on the internet. Throw a capo on the second fret, and then the chords are just G,C, and D, with an occasional Em.
This version is great. Lots of songs are that way, not so good on the album but when you put the correct instrument arrangement together they take on a new life. Sounded too contrived on the album.
"She runs through my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like a thunderstorm". This song rattles my tool like a thunderstorm. Boner achieved.
just listened to dave fronseca's version. great version. but he didnt write the song. ryan did. and you have to admit fronseca sounds like chris isaac. very much like chris isaac. i'll take ryans version everytime
Hey Ryan it's cool we're gonna actually eat that paper towel roll and after at least half a week when or matches in tune singing tunes spit stains meet for a fry
Man I miss this band

Like,... I can't even conceptualize that there are eight people who watched this and clicked 'I dislike this'. That,... mind-blowing.
maybe youre just superior to all..
cant conceptualize why someone might agree with your opinion on a matter?
Great versions of great songs from a great show. RIP Neal!
There can only be One. Ryan Adams forever. Simple as that. No one comes close.

Thanks, me too, I wrote it
I forgot how much I loved this clip.
RIP Spacewolf.
It's not just adams. Letterman has all the best musical guests. Either Dave or one of his staff has great taste.

the harmonies are amazing
I don't know how old you are but Ryans music has me as spellbound as jackson browne and gram parsons did me in the seventies. i just love him.
I saw a show last year in Ohio and walked outside and Neal was chatting with some fans, it was off the hook!
There's always new songs to sing but few as wonderful as by this man and this band.
Love him singing Pearls on a string.His voice really carries.Do you think Ryan Adams gets sent all the teeshirts that nobody else will wear?lol.Noticed him donning an Iron Maiden one in another video..
ryan adams = SUPER TALENT. PERIOD

Elton John/ Andy Dick on the keys... Ryan Adams is an absolute beast of a musician. This guy pretty much owns everyone in every regard
thanks!!
2nd half of this video is instant classic!
Love the Misfits shirt.
beautiful.
RIP Neal
glorious kind and always on time
yup that line's amazing. every time I hear it I wish I could've written that, and it makes me think of how moving it must be for the person he wrote it for.
Do you, because I DID WRITE IT
Even better than the album in my opinion.
thanks ryan, you help when i feel the need to cry sometimes.
I completely agree with Jeff. I like the album version but this is much better. Thank God for TH-cam because I can listen too it whenever I'm on the computer.
An amazing performance, as always. One of the best "Pearls On A String" ive heard.
oh my, that second performace..
"I don't care sad it didn't rain and stay out"🌸
amazing.
great versions. this guy never lets me down.
amazing guitar!
their freakin amazing!!!!
love this!!!!
yes, this is probably one of the best written lines ever.
Pearls On A String is one of my all time favourite songs.
a genuine country artist
first song is off cold roses, second is off of easy tiger
Unseen sounds scary💙
I absolutly adore Ryan Adams. . . Jesus chirst, that was back when I was into guns n' roses/ohter shitty 80's arena rock bands
fuckin' tight.....ryan rocks!
Same here. That was a cool idea to sit around Dave's desk and do that one.
yeah! great!!! still love him
songwise he has never reached anywhere near the "perfection" of LA CIENEGA"
If you aren't a troll, you should be.
You need to check more stuff out. The song you mentioned is great. I agree. There is much, much more.
man thanx for posting great performance Ryans great live!
yup! and he's been on quite a few times.
but, he rarely ever mentions that Ryan's been on more than once.
I met Ryan on the street in Wellington New Zealand, talked to him for about a minute. Wish I'd said something cool tho.
you are all over these sites. If you don't like ryan...WHY?

Pure Genious
Hello webcasters! lol. What a goofball! Pearls on a string is genius! Great track.
He found his calling.
just heard a band in the park where i live that reminded me of this band ," Old californio " wish you guys would come perform here in Paso robles ca. either in the park or at the midstate fair !
they have a pretty extensive history...it'd be interesting to see them chat casually.
I would know, I have nearly all of it..
Ryan is the best but it is a close second- Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is also great. Our generation's two greatest, our Dylan and Lennon.
NC is the best
Postively heaven. B.T.W. - Go, Nellie! (Your pal Lynn from Queens)
It's actually called "how do you keep love alive?" which might make it easier to find tab on the internet. Throw a capo on the second fret, and then the chords are just G,C, and D, with an occasional Em.
💙
How do we keep this kind of music?
In what way🌸
Damn, I wish I knew.
Elliott Smith is in that category as well.
haha, "hello webcasters!" Letterman is great, Adams is all-time, what more could a person want in 6:30?
This version is great. Lots of songs are that way, not so good on the album but when you put the correct instrument arrangement together they take on a new life. Sounded too contrived on the album.
AGAIN SHAYLA...SHAYLA SHAYLA.....
I actually think that Ryan and David Letterman are good pals. There was a special thank you note to David Letterman in the tray of "29"
Dave says🌸
It's on Easy Tiger, actually.
someone help i can't find the 3d button on my keyboard, no but seriously this video freakin rocks!
Ryan Adams thanks Letterman in one of this CDs... so I think what you heard is completely wrong
Aramh🌸
How many times has he played on Letterman?
its a harmony jet set sovereign jumbo,
Grant Gardner🌸
please listen david fonseca cover- write 'david fonseca how do you keep love alive' and listen the best cover of this great music
anyone who likes this should check out Dillon Campbell's "Time Will Heal"...
Girl = Nellie McKay

"She runs through my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like a thunderstorm". This song rattles my tool like a thunderstorm. Boner achieved.
such talent..unbelievable talent....in such an arrogant person lol
@CitizenJohnSmith Oh hes back
just listened to dave fronseca's version. great version. but he didnt write the song. ryan did. and you have to admit fronseca sounds like chris isaac. very much like chris isaac. i'll take ryans version everytime
that is Jon Graboff ( maybe you were joking tho...lol )
thats definitely not a tear in my ey.
It seems when he got married his music 🎶 suffered. Not sure though.

ralhds🌸
what guitar is the one that Ryan is playing?
H1264 "Jet Set" Soverein Jumbo made by Harmony 1970-1972
( A famous copy by Ibanez was the Concord 752 Jet Black )
Hey Ryan it's cool we're gonna actually eat that paper towel roll and after at least half a week when or matches in tune singing tunes spit stains meet for a fry
