Ryan Adams European tour setlists so far

Over the four dates in Europe so far (Cork, Dublin, Stockholm and Oslo) Ryan has played 37 different songs (if we’re including the improvised Animal Jail/Chopsticks and Mr. Man?).

Constants throughout the four shows have been ‘Desire‘, ‘Everybody Knows‘, ‘If I Am A Stranger‘, ‘Let It Ride‘, ‘Sylvia Plath‘ and opener ‘Oh My Sweet Carolina‘.

He’s played three times: ‘16 Days‘, ‘Blue Hotel‘, ‘Damn, Sam (I Love A Woman That Rains)‘, ‘Firecracker‘, ‘New York New York‘ and ‘Please Do Not Let Me Go‘.

New song ‘Invisible Riverside‘ has been played once so far (in Stockholm) – it was also played back in April at the Emmylou Harris support show (El Rey, Los Angeles).

I think ‘Ashes And Fire‘ is also new (Cork), and ‘Dirty Rain‘ which was played at both Irish shows (Cork/Dublin).

Ryan has been playing some Whiskeytown songs too on this tour: ‘16 Days‘, ‘Avenues‘, ‘Dancing With The Women At The Bar‘ and ‘House On The Hill‘ from The Strangers Almanac.

Next up on tour is Malmo (Sweden) followed by Copenhagen (Denmark) and then two shows in Portugal (Lisbon, Porto) – before Ryan finally hits the United Kingdom on Sunday :)

Thanks to the posters on RAA for all the setlist info. Please leave a comment if I’ve made any mistakes above.

Initially I was going to post links to the YouTube videos I found of this European tour (there’s plenty of them from Stockholm and Oslo) – but on reflection it’s pretty clear from what Ryan’s saying onstage that he’s not happy with people recording the shows from mobile phones/cameras. I’ll just stick to trying to collate the Tweets, reviews and setlists.. but the best coverage is over at RAA

It’s intimate, it’s fun and it’s just like Ryan Adams would have it: quiet but incredibly beautiful.

http://mobil.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/musik/rockbjornen2011/article13159445.ab
When Adams peels away and sings as vulnerable as he can, songs like “Halloween” and “September” become two of tonight’s big moments. In addition, he offers pure stand-up comedy, with brilliant talk about zombies, mobile phones and his harmonica sounding like it has been out carousing all night. The eternally moody person suddenly feels really harmonic. Liberating, somehow.

Just checked on Ticketmaster.ie and there are still some (restricted view) tickets mentioned above available for Ryan Adams tonight – I searched for 1 ticket at 18:11pm (UK time) and it offered up Stalls row R for 55.35 Euro (inc b/fee). Good luck!

Update1: Spotted a lovely photo on Twitter taken by @Darren_Kelly meeting Ryan, I presume in Dublin earlier. I’ve Tweeted him to ask if I can upload the photo to the site, but in the meantime I’ll leave it as a link to Yfrog.com.

edit – Thanks Darren for giving me permission to upload his photo. It was taken earlier today outside the Dublin Olympia:

@Darren_Kelly

"@TheRyanAdams looking forward to the gig later dude, thanks for the pic&handshake! Sitting way up back so big shout out! http://yfrog.com/gy6hidzj"

Update2: Photo of the stage set-up tonight from @supplanterjem: "Waiting for Ryan Adams. http://campl.us/bmaF"

And plenty of stories. Good fun to get things going. Will leave the dra updates to someone else."

21:23pm @TheMandyMoore posted a photo of the stage: : "It’s about that time…… http://twitpic.com/58ta87"

Update5:
All over. peterpharm posted a quick report on RAA: "Brilliant show. 16 days was the obvious highlight. Time of need, stranger, bartering lines and the improv stuff also excellent. The dra was in great form.He said he was on the other side of a wave of caffeine from all the barry’s tea! Great great show, but how weak are our Irish bladders that so many people can’t sit still for an hour and a half."

Some good initial reports coming out of Twitter (I’ve retweeted a few), and also check out this Twitter list I created of fans at the show tonight.

Update6: 00:37am @ 9th June

some more reviews appearing on RAA…

whiskeyman posted:

"What a gig!
Apart from some woman shouting ‘I see Monsters’ 3 or four times (in the most droll voice?), the crowd were good and gave Ryan time to do what he does best.
16 Days the massive highlight as already mentioned. I simply couldn’t believe it. A girl to my right just went ‘oh my god!’ as he started it.
Every song, every note, everything…. simply perfect!!
Although we probably could have got another extra song or two if not as much time was spent tuning his guitar… but we wouldn’t have gotten the amazing banter then!
Thanks so much for playing Dublin Ryan!
Hope you all enjoyed it.

(and Jesse was fab too!)"

Update7: 01:50am @ 9th June

There’s a bootleg floating around on Twitter from tonight (the piano version of ‘New York New York’). However, having just read yesterday’s official announcement on RAA (see below) about Ryan not allowing taping at these European shows I won’t link to it.

"Dear RAA members,

Over the years we have all come to love and treasure recordings of Ryan’s live shows. RAA was formed with the intent of providing recordings by and for its members. Prior to the current Europe solo tour, Ryan Adams decided to no longer allow taping by the public. It is not clear whether this is a temporary or permanent decision by Ryan. While this of course comes as a disappointment to us all, it is our hope we will still have the opportunity to hear the shows one way or another. In the meantime, we hope members will continue to use RAA to discuss current shows, Ryan’s music and download and listen to past shows. We will provide more information as it becomes available to us. Thanks for your continued support of RAA."

Apparently Ryan asked the audience to Tweet that he played The Dark Side Of The Moon in full!

I’ve created a Spotify playlist of all the songs played the track order (excluding ‘Dirty Rain’ & ‘Ashes And Fire’ which aren’t available).

Update1: over at tobeyoung.org, Rob also has a forum thread for the Cork show

Update2: Tweet from Ryan last night at 2am – sent from his iPad:

@TheRyanAdams

"Thank you to all the lovely people in Cork who came out and shared the evening with @jesse_malin and I. Was so lovely. Xx"

Jesse Malin’s Facebook status update: (thanks ewok.online)

"The first night supporting Ryan Adams on the Acoustic Nightmare tour was a blast and Ryan Killed it!!! New songs are great, especially “Dirty Rain.” The Cork Opera house sounded amazing with two sad bastards breaking in their solo cherry! Dublin tomorrow back at the Olympia!!! Classic!!! JM…."

Jesse also posted a photo which you can see on his FB here

@TheMandyMoore

"SO proud of my guy @theryanadams for an UNREAL start to his eu tour…and he played “carolina rain” to boot! :)"

Update3:

Here’s a photo of a new Ryan Adams ‘Acoustic Nightmare’ t-shirt on sale at the merch stall during this European tour. Photo credit: ailishmac on RAA (and Music City Monster for uploading it). lewisdhead posted on RAA: "Some t-shirts that apparently didn’t have the Irish dates on, I didn’t take much notice. No other RA merch music, posters etc. Jesse Malin cd’s, a 7″ and and re-issue 200gr vinyl, numbered edition of “Fine Art……” ."

JohnC at RAA [2] posted some thoughts:

"Ryan’s playing was delicate and quiet but that Bucky kept going out of tune on him
he was in great voice throughout

highlight for me was Caroilna Rain which he owned
and Everybody Knows with all those delicate hammer ons/offs
and Ashes on Fire and Avenues

he’s got a big book with a PAX -AM logo on it andthereis a load of songs in there by the looks of it "

"Ashes and Fire has that G/C/D Em Firecracker thing going on but it’s an epic story song with the main character a girl who has a heart made of ashes and fire with Ryan blowing great harp-it’s awesome"

I’m hoping to use this blog to collate all the news and info I discover in an easy to manage summary.
