"This is really happening"
I happened to check Ryan Adams’s website on Saturday. Sunday night Mal and I were in Charlottesville, VA watching him live. It was a great day to see the mountains near Monticello, the University of Virginia, and to catch Ryan Adams at the Charlottesville Pavillion. Ryan played for over two and half hours to a relatively intimate crowd of a couple thousand at most.
He played mostly stuff from his last 3 albums including:
Some stuff from the new album 29
Magnolia Mountain
Easy Plateau
Cold Roses
Let it Ride
A Kiss before I Go
Trains
He also played a couple of oldies:
What Sin Replaces Love
To Be Young (Is to be sad, Is to be High)
Call Me on Your Way Back Home
Dear Chicago
Anybody Wanna Take Me Home
Encore: This is it
I have been waiting for a chance to see Ryan since I missed him in Memphis back in ’04. I don’t know what made me check the website for the first time in months, but I’m glad I did because we had awesome time... much better than our Saturday night experience watching "Hard Times Idol" at a local Fredericksburg bar.

I'm really glad you all got to see the campus. An APSU President gave us a directive once to make his campus look like UVA. Not an easy task.
You got to see Ryan.. that is freakin awesome! Jealously.. envy.. these are but two competing emotions at the moment.. followed closely by naked hatred and anger. =p j/k hope you guys had a great time. keep in touch.
