if I had $80 to spare.

#1 would be to buy a ticket to Ryan Adams & the Cardinals, playing here in late Jan. Unfortunately I don't have $80 to spare, so I'm settling for recorded live shows on the Internet Archive. There are some pretty old ones here.As a side note, today I found almost every album of his for $5. That was money I did spare. If you were wondering, this has no connection to Rock N Roll being in the album loving section on the side. Pure coincidence.. and what a coincidence.Ryan Adams live at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan - December 13, 2008Ryan Adams - Let It Ride (Live 13/12/08)Ryan Adams live at Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, Scotland - December 1, 2007Ryan Adams - The Sun Also Sets (Live 1/12/07)Ryan Adams live at Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool - January 22, 2004Ryan Adams - So Alive (Live 22/1/04))Ryan Adams live at the House of Blues, Los Angeles - November 15, 2001Ryan Adams - New York, New York (Live 15/11/01)Ryan Adams live at The Brewery, North Carolina - February 4, 1994Ryan Adams - Americanized (Live 4/2/94)I noticed in these archives that he doesn't play So Alive much, he only plays it around the time Rock N Roll was released. What's up with that. While many probably disagree and with the whole anti-Rock N Roll phase that Adams fans went through, in my opinion, it's for sure his best song, and the recordings that do exist sound rad, especially the one above... it's great when you hear everyone yell in unison "IIII AM ON YOUR SIDE..." Here's an acoustic version too.Ryan Adams - So Alive (Live 15/1/04, Music Lounge, London) // (Complete Show)And a video from Letterman. May 5, 2004
