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.

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

I’ve created a 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

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 realise most people won’t have time over the next 3 weeks to be constantly scanning Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and the forums at TBY & RAA for news of the Ryan Adams shows. I’m hoping to use this blog to collate all the news and info I discover in an easy to manage summary. Thank you to all the forum posters who are providing the info and apologies for just cut n pasting in some cases. I will do my best to credit you – thanks: Rob, plath, Sydneyfan, La Cienega, ewok.online etc
