was most likely due to his over-consumption of that poison called diet Coke. Ryan is such a riot and he's the gayest-sounding heterosexual male ever. I mean that in the nicest way possible, though. This show was very good, great song selection, great sound and the way the band just fell in line with the impromptu "Gary the Smell" song? Awesome! Ryan's voice is a national treasure or should be.

One of my top ten shows from the Cardinals era:

When I went to see this concert with my girlfriend I was expecting an acoustic set and an electric one (hadn't been keeping track of his concerts in a while), so when he came out with Peaceful Valley I was a bit shocked. Anyway, as I got into the concert I enjoyed it more and more. When It was over, I was still expecting an acoustic set, so I left the RAI a bit bummed. When I downloaded this and started listening it it I was finally able to recollect what a great night it was! He was 'on' the whole night and played some amazing Dead-like jams, heartfelt ballads ('When the stars go blue', 'Why do they leave', 'Please do not let me go') and great live versions of his recent material. 'Cold roses', 'Everybody knows' and 'Rip off' where great, but the steel guitar licks on 'Easy Plateau' are the best (and coolest) I ever heard and really stole the show. Apart from that he had some funny rants, the crowd was really respectful (apart from one guy who shouted out 'shut up and play'). Ryan responded to a request for Wonderwall very gently as well. What can you say, he was in a good mood. I was happy he played 'Two' during the encore, as my girlfriend was expecting it (I promised her he would play it) but she was disappointed by it, in the light of the rest of the concert. Anyway, she came out a huge fan and for me, this is a reassurance of what a great artist Ryan really is and how lucky he is to have the Cardinals as a backing band.

This gig really is a favourite from RA & C's.

Amazing heavy performance, great sound.
Shorter than some gigs,possibly all the better for it!
I love this gig!

Although a short show compared to say Indy or Ohio, this is by far one of the BEST sounding shows of 2007. There's a good mix of older to newer songs. PV, CR, and EP simply melt your face off and the PV solo is amazing. This is a great set for a newer fans and it sounds like an official recording.

My only nitpicking complaint is they way the show is edited. Tracks end when the song ends so there's roughly 1-2 minutes of crowd noise at the opening of each track instead of starting right into the song. Not that big of a deal, really.

This is definately worth a download!

Ryan and this ensemble are getting tighter and tighter musically... the opened up jamming is getting increasingly creative and spontaneous...needed badly in the depleted jam genre..but the between song Ryan raps aren't exactly 12 step raps...way tangential. borderline dementia, or I hate to speculate, but he has sounded more together before..Opinions? That said, wonderful show start to finish

I want Peaceful Valley to be played at my wake!!

Great sound quality and great concert!
No acoustic part was made to RA & C...
