Ryan Adams and Neal Casal - Let It Ride

[losthighwayish]

Killer version of this song. Ryan looks like he's got Keith-teeth here. Good thing he's off the H.

[yourpaljc]

Wonderful.

[hugosalarm]

Rarely find myself in the company of such greatness in these years of barren melodies and shallow lyrics showcased by technological wizardry.

[dannyboooy72]

I think Neal's playing a southern jumbo on this and not a J-45 based on the fret board markers. Can anyone else confirm this?

[jbloss6]

This is a beautiful acoustic version with incredible harmonizing!

Thanks, toodrunktodream! Awesomely enjoyable!

[theamsterdamlover]

I feel so privileged that I get to see Ryan perform tonight in Cork. I can hardly wait. The fact that it's an acoustic performance just adds to it. Wow, I actually feel so lucky, roll on 7:30. :)

[razmataz13drums]

@theamsterdamlover hey im seeing him in london on the 19th. i am really excited. anything this man does is just sublime :) i agree on the acoustic front

[theamsterdamlover]

@razmataz13drums Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Was the best concert I've been to and THE most special night. Ryan talked to the crowd with ease, making the night even more brilliant! His acoustic performance of Firecracker is a rare treat, and he did an amazing four song long encore. His supporting act Jesse Malin was great too, and a very very funny guy, look him up before the concert if you can at all :)

[razmataz13drums]

@theamsterdamlover ahh jeeze im really excited. i swear ive got as many ryan adams songs as physically able to get included all ep's and such. ive got an acoustic firecracker song it really is amazing. doing his songs in acoustic gives it a new light. he should record all his stuff again acoustic! yeah im very familiar with Jesse Malin, a very talented guy! ive listened to most but only got the album: The Fine Art Of Self Destruction which is his best. i swear im counting down the hours! thanks

[kennago81]

ryan adams is playing an acoustic gig in the cork opera house on 7th june! got my tickets the other day, by god i hope he plays this what a class song!!

[Fenner1976]

@kennago81 Hope you have a great night! My tickets haven't arrived for his gig in Oxford on the 26th yet? Hope they do...or major disappointment will set-in!

[skitzonacid]

thanks for posting i cant get enough!

[ImTheTawnyOwl]

I actually watched this on RTé Two when it was first aired. And it was stuck in my head for years untill i finally got the album. and i have to say this live version is far better than the album version. I love you Ryan,

[niceebba]

He's a genius

[fishygordon]

quality upload

[Stewarty88]

Good performance let down by the poor recording of it :(

[baddogcandles]

Sound sounds good to me.

[becca151615]

[Wabbos124]

The guitar is a Harmony Sovereign Jumbo H1264

[Wabbos124]

[hombre3000]

This is so beautiful. Thanks.

[tailesill4]

the cutest pirate of all TIME.

[darkanddiamondzz]

i love neal's harmonizing.

[eugejnr1]

the great thing about this man is he never does the same format twice...signs of genius!!! what a version...what an artist...viva ryan!

[dfesta]

three losers were pillaged by pirates in 1857

[mcschmidt84]

Beautiful Song, thanks for uploading

[gizzad]

it's all about 2:34

[wookie37]

@cjonezz1

Hey just curious what do you mean "the processing?" It sounds clean to me. TY!

[crimnalmindslover]

This song is amazing. I know it's in a movie. They are like driving over a desert road. But what is the name on the movie. Plz help me figure it out (:

[rossbj138]

1857 wow thats not funny ryan

[54mor1544c]

[lastfl0wers]

Oh really i'd do anything to marry this guy, but i'm already pretty psyched that he gives us his incredible music :'D

[normanhate]

Excellent



[litford]

Ahhhh.. this is so lovely.

[Duncen123]

@litford true

[satellax]

Ireland brings out the best in musicians

[Duncen123]

@satellax true

[MrFitzek]

my fave song on this album!!!!!!

much faster and melodic on the album but this will do mr adams!!!

[nickrollo]

What a beautiful song, I can forgive how tired his concert was in Melbourne when I here him play like that!

[juurviljasupp]

I love how Neal either forgets the setlist or doesn't know what Ryan is playing until the first go around. They're both so good, they just fall in step, it doesn't matter.

I would love to hear a good bluegrass band cover this tune. It just has that sort of theme.

[krishotsaucemiller]

Greatest songwriter of generation Y.

[74DrJB]

We are claiming him for Gen X. Born 1974, has it tattooed on his arm.

[dgg3jab]

@krishotsaucemiller - He's Gen X. Born in 1974. He's ours, but you can share him.

[delicatethings]

This is such a sexy song.. makes me think of a cozy big wrap sweater and a warm country morning.

[szucsfranci]

this is perfect...

[lehks]

love the intro here; wish there was an album version like this

[sciencekiller7689]

What brand guitar is Ryan playing?

[larry54912]

Its an old harmony sovreign... it looks as good as it sounds!

[redstar69my]

absolutely awesome!!! i'm fan

[dbldee22]

His music is amazing. incredible feel

[hinzogamble]

amazing times

[molly2564489]

"I wrote this song in 1857 when I was a pirate". This is why he is one of my favourites.

[TheJuliusJT]

[ReneHolmOlsenCPH]

amazing.

[DeathbyHair]

[pllikertop]

Does anybody have a high quality version of this so that i can rip the audio from it? I need this on my ipod!!

[artemousfowl]

[BigDog453]

[etbyrne]

[etbyrne]

the sound is terrible, can you try again?

[toodrunktodream]

no. That's the way the sound is. Live with it.

[etbyrne]

yikes, wasnt meant to sound nasty dude... just thought the quality might have been lost during transfer... wow

[toodrunktodream]

K. It was lost in translation....AND I was in a bad mood. Ha. Yeah the sound isn't great, but that's the way I received it... ;)

[gizzad]

@toodrunktodream haha, that was a great read to stumble upon. =) this version is amazing man, is there a dvd of this?

[razmataz13drums]

@toodrunktodream i actually think the sound quality is pretty decent. thanks for sharing this video. i love how different his songs are when he plays them stripped down and acoustic.

[toodrunk2dream]

@toodrunktodream look at your tag...great minds brother, thanx for uploading

[Cationification]

@etbyrne Good joke, another one?

[sugarybiscuits]

[ccwgirl31289]

[MrSongsmith]

[pregnantcornbread]

amazing harmonies

[smurfieboo]

what delicious chords

[askjewel]

I haven't heard a Ryan Adam's song that I haven't liked yet--the dude is brilliant!

[Cubs2Bears2Bulls]

Sweet version of this song. Also Ryan lays down a pretty good joke right off the bat hah!

[calaisk9]

does anyone know the chords for this. theyre on ult-guitar but they don't match this performance exactly.?

[Dilznoofus]

There are only five basic chords (the intricacies are obviously impossible to explain in a comments section). Capo 5th fret, and from there it's all Am, G, C, F, and a couple D chords

[calaisk9]

thanks :) for some reason i was thinking his pinkie was holding down some strings. But doesn't seem like it.

[lllChokelll]

Ryan's voice is always comforting to me. And Neal's harmonies are amazing.

[riri1124]

<3

amazing

[myenergytrade]

lol that first line is funny as hell.

[drewricky567]

Oh...my...GOD. This is the best thing I've ever heard in my life.

[ccwgirl31289]

Wow, I love this song acoustic at this tempo. It's so much more dramatic.

[Bing42]

This song is f*king beautiful

[evyluna]

Speechless...

[championofidiots]

[whed9]

wow. just wow.

[darvelgringo]

[ZBritt92]

[appleturnover1]

mesmerizing........

[HeadlightsTaillights]

great version of a great song .

[mlobato34]

This song acoustic is unbelievable!

[InLoveWithTheMoon88]

So I got one of Neal Casal's solo cds the other day... and it is incredible. You guys should check out his solo stufff you haven't already.

[mrhead86]

is neal playing a hummingbird artist or is it some other type of gibson?

[mrhead86]

take it back... it's probably a southern jumbo. any other ideas?

[JuliannaHindemith]

its a j-45 gibson rosewood acoustic

[PaperMoon09]

Thank you for posting this...! I love this version. I listen to it all the time and it makes it me smile : )

[clydeandangus]

I much prefer this acoustic version of this song, seems to have more depth and feeling to it

[thefishydevil]

definitely mate, the acoustic versions are much better in IMHO. They have more soul

[balthier0090]

what's that about Harmony Sovereign ?

[clydeandangus]

just greatttttttttt, never really listened to these dudes before but will be searching them out now

[magicpie77]

clydeandangus, i would suggest the following from ryan adams: "when the stars go blue", "i taught myself how to grow old (live versions)", "two", "fix it"...he's got so many greats!

[jareddiehl1]

The Sovereign was first used by pirates in the mid to late 19th century. It's popularity grew from there.

[jareddiehl1]

It's a Harmony Sovereign

[adelitaroundtheworld]

What guitar is that Ryan is playing?

Anyone know?

So cool!

[jainonen]

Could anything be more perfect than this!

[Fuzzyrush27]

this is just perfect

:)

[withoutvowels]

holy. shit.

[Caulfieldrocks]

These performances are incredible!

[hijodelchostomo]

El mejor cantautor en lo que va del nuevo milenio, sin duda alguna. Larga vida a Ryan Adams y sus hermosas canciones.

[biganakhanhda]

Best version I've heard. He is so emotional and sincere with his music.

[patb20civic]

Excellent video. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[JuliannaHindemith]

simple amazing. ryan adams is brillant.

[blackberryrao]

the best thing neal ever did was team up with Ryan, Neal's a great musician but never really had the songs, that's where Ryan slots in perfectly. they're something else. and personally i love the fact they arn't huge artists. it means tickets to see live performances like this 1 are still easy to get hold of. i wouldn't wanna miss a second!

[nyy9h]

this song is incredible

[vanpitt]

Simon and Garfunkel Part II...

[walmartshoes7]

i know. i'm glad they prefer it that way wist. i guess it just says somethinga about those that overlook them...

[walmartshoes7]

this song is one of my favorites. it is still puzzling to me how neal casal isn't huge though.

[wist0301]

ryan adams isnt even nearly as big as he should be. both him and neal are very content in being hidden fixtures in the music scene. if they were huge, i dont think their music be as great as this.

[Erk1982]

Not necessarily. Fame doesn't always mess with the songcraft. Look at Sheryl Crow. I think Ryan, if he was bigger in the business, would still be awesome.

[missunia390]

Ryan Adams isn't even close to 'hidden'.

[pufforosso]

great american conteporary artists at their best.

[terrortwylight]

jesus, this is very moving

[cathrynw]

wish i had been there. cool venue...they sound amazing as usual.

[jebusfubar4]

I like this one more than the album version. both still great though.

[AssBaggins]

I fucking love this song so much.

[gratephuljoe]

Yo

27 yrs of nothing but PHailures and Promises I couldnt Keep.

Wow

Da Heat...

jOe HOfer..aka demO

Until it brings me HOme

[TheScrotumTickler]

This is the front runner for best song written in the last decade. I can't even think of another that comes close, one of those perfect songs I've only ever heard come out of Neil Young and a few others

[reppin72rap]

its a good song but best of the last decade, thats ridicolous

[bwreck1]

Total sweetness

[setteemezzo]

ryan and neal ......great!!!!!!!!!

[sultankinkari]

hmm, you're right.

[toofastforlove07]

what kind of guitar is ryan playing?

[sultankinkari]

it's an older gibson, not sure of the model.

[TheFlatBat]

It's a Harmony. Possibly a Harmony Sovereign.

[pjsinnett]

wow, i've loved ryan and neal for a long time but after seeing this i now love them even more... breathtaking harmonies..

[duhzippo]

perfection...plain and simple. this is the art of songwriting personified.

[webbsr1]

Absolutely tremendous. Hey, can anyone recommend a good acoustic guitar for <£400? About time I invested in something half decent after all these years!

[wist0301]

if you look around, you can find a nice martin for that price. cant go wrong with a Martin, the best of American craftmanship.

[webbsr1]

Cheers. I'll check em out!

[rockweaver]

& even jesus wept....(OMG!)

[theeskimofriend]

man thanks for these videos...great performances!!

[jainonen]

Unbelievable performance, this is what great music is all about!

[thevioletiris]

this is one of the most amazing musical moments i've ever seen on youtube. this is absolutely beautiful

[ohsteella]

thank you for sharing this. this slower version is so awesome, i must have seen this video a thousand times!

[tdesolina]

So lovely.

[lookinhereyes]

Thank you so much for posting all of these videos from this performance. There are few musical collaborations I enjoy more than Ryan and Neal.

[illone45]

When is this from?

[ianrubes69]

These videos were recorded in St. James Church in Dingle, County Kerry in Ireland - NOT London!!

All the 'Other Voices' sessions are recorded in Dingle.

[toodrunktodream]

my bad! corrected.

[ClassicRocker30]

I wonder where you got your name

[bpldjgetc]

dud you are my hero! ryan adams is my fave singer ever, but neal has to be my number 2 fave! thanks a lot! =)

[FenceItIn]

Well that was f*ing superb. I really enjoy the slower version.
