Fuck yeah, I forgot the kick ass What Sin!!!! Thanks John.... I'm pretty sure though he used the intro to Bartering Lines twice, as teasers more or less.... first with Magnolia Mountain if I'm correct and then again with September.

(Why is my name in yellow? Should I feel honored, or does it mean I'm on the brink of being banned by whoever?)

Can't wait to hear "She Turns It Up To 10". bang (again....)

Hey JohnC - I need to pay you for that DAT and batteries,....when you next in London?

Was thinking of maybe flying over to an Irsih gig..... :eek:

[left4dead]

Well that was an experience! Ears ringing like hell this morning...I'm getting too old for this sh1t.

Jesus those guys play LOUD, God knows why they bother with the pedal steel or piano, just good for decoration on the most part.

Well, I enjoyed myself fabulously when all is said and done. The final theatrics and the reaction to it just added to the occasion (I am sure most would not agree with that but I like a good spat and mass confusion).

Was he ill?
Did he throw all his toys out the pram in a moment of rock n roll madness, I don't know but I hope it was the latter. Seems it could have been leading up to either as there are rumours of tantrums as well as chest infections.

The music was great....Loads of new stuff. One quiter song with a great 4 part harmony and one choppy chord lovely, something about making me smile with the opening line of hava lil faith in me...reminded me of mid 70s funky pop...loved it.

Cold Roses stood out from the tracks I knew, great harmony and RA & NC seemed to be having a larf. A couple of major duff notes (last being possibly deliberate) made me gaffaw.
I had a good sing along.

One problem, F*ck me those Dutch are big bu**ers. I felt like a midget.

The end was bizarre and very premature, only just over an hour into the set...by this time it was getting seriously loud, I could hardly hear Ryan singing (actually screaming), the poor guy sitting in the corner was totally inaudible (though visually nice to look at in his cowboy shirt and horn rims....nice) , there had been a lot of self-indulgent jamming in between tracks (which I liked) and some apparent inter-band discussion about set lists and RA moaning at sound engineers about various levels. Then there was a big band huddle, Ryan puts down his axe and..... he's off, loads of feed back, band look befuddled for a few minutes, NC says something totally inaudible and with a kind of sheepish look......exit band stage left.

OOOOOOOO...... now the fun starts. We're abooin and a stampin, throwing lots of plastic cups......Then "dancing man in his pants" gets on stage....love it. Now we're awhoopin and a hoolerin.....boooooo here comes Mr Security, we don't like him......throw things at him......throw beer.......At last (and it ain't easy to man handle a sweaty almost nekkid Dutchman off the stage) they get him off and stand there looking hard (throw more stuff and boo a lot).......stage right....nekkid guy is back......do your stuff oh funky panted dutchman. Boooo more security guys.....panted guys friend gets up on stage and now it's all kickin 'off....I didn't see this on the set list but it should be mandatory at all gigs. The last time I had this much fun was when the Wedding Present played Kilburn National....that was a true ruck and no mistake.

So..you get the picture, more booing, loads beery cuppy action for a good half hour, then I leave.

Met a nice posh young English guy outside who's been following Ryan around. He insisted on calling me dude a lot. I tried calling him Man once or twice but it didn't fit me very well. I said sweet a few times too but it's just not me. I was in my tweeds, not very alt-country. There was also a nice Scottish lass who's off to Assen etc to follow him around, finishing in Munich I think. I hope she like Weissbier and wurst!

Anyway they were all very sicophantic (not an engineering word so I have no idea how to spell it) talking about RH as a "tortured soul" and "genius wordsmith". A bit faux but made me smile, they were nice young people (although none seemed to have any fags......God they reminded me of me during my student days).

I thought the band was excellent and I could see touches of "rather goodness" if he just picked up that Hummingbird at the back of the stage and talked to the crowd a bit.

Anyway, I love a good hissy fit. Long live all us stroppy bast*rds. I'm off to throw my coffee at the project manager, strip down to my grundies etc etc.

Kees,.....I think it means you are a god of the RAA. Something we all aspire to,,,,,, ;)

[JohnC]

the Paradiso management told Ryan's FOH to be off by 10.45
and this was implemented
then at the end when the beer started getting tossed at the stage they denied it
Ryans crew were furious at them

but a very strange end to a show nonetheless

[kees]

Haha, thanks Andy, this review lightened things up a bit. Good laughs!!!

Well, I don't feel like a God, today. My head is pounding away, and I didn't even have a good few drinks yesterday.....

that's the egyptologys in the list Kees

[Rosebud]

Lol Andy.

Way to make lemonaide out of the whole thing.

Best first post I've ever read~

Welcome to RAA mister.

Mornin' kees. Glad you finally got to see the Cards.

[maarten_vis]

I was at the show and I was very surprised. Ryan did not say a single word to the audience all evening. And at the end he just suddenly walked off without saying anything to his band or to the audience.

Even if he was told off by paradiso management, which seems highly unlikely because there was noone near them at that moment, he could have just said goodnight and thank you. It all came across as a huge lack of respect for his audience.

sinner: sweet.

[Factory Boy]

Good work as usual John, getting that set list out to us. cheers.
Thanks to Andy for that highly entertaining review.......sweet, dude! ;)

Rosy, you're yellow too!! What've I gotta do?!!! :(

[Rosebud]

Well you're green so don't ask me!

[Carollynn]

Thanks for the setlist John (pity I didn't get to meet ya). Who came up with Egyptology? Is this written in a setlist? Cause this is the intro to Bartering lines with the St. Stephen beat to it. I don't believe they were told off at 10 45 simply because band can play way longer there and there wasn't even another program after the show. In the begining they had a bit of trouble with Jon's piano but for the rest it went nicely, I thought the sound was perfect and I must say that Jon's pedal steel brings a lot of identity to The Cards sound. The last song (she turns it up...) I thought was pretty mediocre by the way. It was a pity it ended like that and I think security handeld it very well , they could have gotten way more agressive with all that beer being thrown at them, which they ignored.

oh my god

I think if someone from paradiso had said that on stage, there would be no problem, and again it would be better for the critics on ryan. I now understand why the lights when on so fast after ryan the stage!
