[Diearscage]

there are no words to describe what is ryan in my life... he's the soundtrack of my life

[maxieraymills]

Got that Jim Morrison doo goin!



[SS20118]

Perfection!

[mcalle31]

4:43 Pumpkin James Iha

[medler312]

It takes balls to cover Gram Parsons and to execute his ache. Ahhh...Ryan Adams...where did you run off to?

[ptmacp]

Such a beautiful rendition of an achingly beautiful song. 

[CelticBadBoyPoet7]

RA Has Some Serious FUCKIN CHOPS...I Respect Few & Fear NONE, But RA Garners BOTH.......

[Ipausestuff]

oh snap thats james iha playing the les paul!!

[drafan42]

Sessions at West 54th..."Return of the Grevious Angel",a Gram Parsons Tribute...As soon as I watched the show,I searched eBay until I found this awesome CD!

[jray5363]

@drafan42 One of the best cd's I've ever owned. It's a shame it's so hard to find.

[1stSaintsFan]

@jray5363 ...Exactly, I ordered it when it was released...I still get reactions when I put it on for a crowd..'.I know that song from somewhere', they say...

[uprightboy]

Caitlin has perfect taste for violin and harmaonies.

[TheFireflyspirit]

This is a magnificent song and they are REALLY GOOD!!!!

[maevestarsgoblue]

RYAN ADAMS IS PERFECTION.

I think he and Gram would've have a great drinking/singing session together!

[nestorian9]

I knew my marriage was in it's last stages--that I didn't have a thing in common with my then-husband anymore--when I was listening to this loud one night in the bedroom and he came into make fun of the song.

[schmackyback]

@nestorian9 Hmm. My wife (now separated) used to laugh at me when I listened to this.

[lastarmintrout]

I love the Bon Jovi Hair, in addition to the stellar GP cover. Truly a gem.

[Chinesevituperation]

OMG HE IS SO GOOD LOOKING IN THIS VIDEO. AND IM A GUY. but im not gay

[BillOWright]

Amazing.......the voice is so similar to Gram in these tribute songs. Whiskeytown was heavily influenced by Gram and Ryan pulls it off perfectly. This was Grams' love song for the south of which he was from. Gotta love Gram, the ramblin man!! Also, look at Ryans version of Return of the Grevious Angel in which Emmylou is actually accompanying him...Awesome!!!!!!

[inta31]

So beautiful Gram Parsons song and great performance !

[elvisabeth]

I miss ryan.  And gram.

[cornelissimon]

This is great! But what show is his from? Sorry if this sounds stupid....

[Mistysin3]

@cornelissimon

It was a Gram Parsons tribute concert...not exactly sure what the show name is though

[anticlimatic21]

@Mistysin3 "Return Of The Grievous Angel"

[okicuru12]

@cornelissimon

sessions at west 54th, PBS.

[peechyq]

i totally didn't realize ryan covered this. fuck! i'm covering it!!!!!!!!!! it's miiiine!!! muhahaha!!!...ok i'm stopping now...i know i will never be a s good as ryan.

[NicoDebris]

All amazing....absolutely great cover of this ever great Gram P. song! Cheers and keep on covering the great ones! ND

[Zilimanjero]

what a great performance !!!

[TLynch12765]

Ahhhh my soul is in love with yours Ryan

[saygoodbyefortyone]

this song reminds me of driving through the virginia countryside while the sun is about to set....such a great song

[bnburns2000]

Nevermind that last post. That's definitely James Iha. Just had to wait another minute for the camera to get a good look at him.

[bnburns2000]

Is that James Iha in the blue shirt w/ the Les Paul? I know he worked on Pneumonia and a few other misc. sessions w/ Ryan Adams.

Either way, Iha has surprisingly appeared on more non-Smashing Pumpkins projects than I ever imagined would end up on my iPod.  Very versatile musician.

[turtlens]

Who's the fellow in the green shirt (0:15)?

[madseng]

"A song for you" one of the most beautiful songs and lyrics in this world!!! Gram Parsons and Ryan Adams are favourites!!!!!

[damngiver]

Greg Leisz is also playing steel guitar. Not bad for a kid of 23? at the time. I count 10 people on stage. He's so crazy.

[fireflies333]

He's wearing eye shadow, powder and lip color. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just having trouble imagining him being talked into stage makeup.

[Mikemaniax]

@fireflies333 Probably did it for the cameras. They usually make everybody put on makeup when filming.

[ColdRoses]

Ryan Adams was born to make music.

[victoriandaad]

get the fuck in!

[securedbymac]

is that really James Iha...it looks just like him...

[comesapart]

Definately is. James also helped produce and played on Whiskeytown's last cd, "pneumonia." Pretty cool to see him playing with the band.

[securedbymac]

Ok...so that lead guitarist in the blue shirt looks like James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins....Is it?

[westoneorama]

The title of the tribute CD is "The Return of the Grievous Angel". Emmylou Harris organized it, and sings on many of the tracks. Lots of great musicians on it. BTW, you might note that the bass player in this video is Buddy Miller.

[SMITT2512]

WOW!! thanks for the post!! u rule :D

[stina20a]

This song can be found on the tribute album to Gram Parsons

[Sthorndike73]

EddieAR- I have this song on CD in my personal collection. If we could trade e-mails I could send a CD-R your way.

[EddieAR]

@Sthordike73 Thanks a lot, but I already got the song. It's always good to know that are still people out there to help.

[Wecanmakeitifwerun]

when was this recorded? Can you buy the CD?

[Kelter82]

This is my favourite version of the song. Gram Parson's is good too, but I love this one.

[easyst1180]

who's the guitar player other than Brad Rice?

[sultankinkari]

James Iha from the Smashing Pumpkins.

[chanxxx]

no shit?

[smurfieboo]

no it's not.

[gringoloco4]

why are the ratings disabled ? if you don't like this cover and this version, you don't like music !

[edharcourt1]

By the way, Whiskeytown recorded this on the album "Return Of The Grievous Angel: A Tribute To Gram Parsons"

[EddieAR]

I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIS SONG...NOW. I have looked everywhere (iTunes, Amazon, ARES, Limewire) but not luck. If you have the song from the Gram Parsons Tribute CD, and you want to donate it, I would really appreciate it.

[EddieAR]

Wow, I cannot understand how I discovered this music jewel . Thanks
