@@BBPalmer420 Dude, this is Monsters of Folk 2.0. Serious.

@@BBPalmer420 You gotta squeeze in "Jolene" with "Libraian" or Law Low, you gotta flow it in.

...and I love all his fans too 💞❣

Same! :)

Monstars of Folk 2.0

I was there as well. Wonderful show.

oh you are in for such a treat....listen to all of his stuff from the beginning....a class act from the very beginning...his rare 'first' album...welcome to many 'Ray Days' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KWWXV4VCn6c.html

@@bodinski100 Thanks! Incredible! I recently met his father, Roguie. He’s quite a song writer and musician himself.

@@markieproductions22 Wow, would love to hear some of his stuff..All the best of health and happiness for 2023 to you and yours.

I couldn't put Jack Savoretti's first album BETWEEN THE MINDS down for a whole year. 13-odd years ago...and it still sounds great.

P.S. Then i met Jack...lovely human being.

Before I became a fan of Ray, I believe I had seen him in a bar in Louisville. It wasn’t rare to have performers come by this place, and I assume it was after a concert. Even if I knew it was him, I’m too shy to introduce myself. That’s cool you got to meet Jack!

That Louisville show was off the hook! I was second row on bass player side by the aisle and it was great to see ray with the hometown boys from MMJ.

I feel that SOOO deep!

Empty is #1 for me too!

Ray, you have captured my heart ❤and my soul. I will always be your fan.

Rays voice is a raspy lullaby i cant get enough🥰

Amen!!

Looks like me n my neighbors are about to enjoy some super high quality concert action!! 💗

Huh? Carl was absolutely on stage for this tour at Red Rocks.

Brian is right about not seeing Carl on stage at the Red Rocks. He had a health issue that came up part way through the tour (shortly before I saw the show at the Greek in LA in September), so Ray and the rest of the MMJ guys finished the remainder without him.

Carl was recovering from appendicitis and missed that part of the tour.

Hey my friend, if you can find it, see my comment about All the Wild Horses... Blessings...🕊️

Sexy!

And the change in cadence from their original versions doesn’t do these songs any justice.

I understand why it might come across that way to some. But, I see and hear a musician who is also a human. His wife's genetic disorder's negative symptoms started showing up somewhere around this time. I see both Professional Musician, Human Being, Husband, Father caught in an internal storm. Just a theory, but I imagine during his tours post her health's decline, he was/has been perhaps quite torn knowing he needed/needs to be both places often but physically can't. Since this concert was recorded, I believe their family have quietly fallen into a rhythm of dealing w/his touring. Honestly though, if I didn't feel some sense of his longing to be at home w/her, I might not think him as authentic as he's shown himself to be. Also, I can't think of many musicians who don't have shows back to back that don't exactly give them time to prepare for the next show. I miss when ticket prices were more reasonable so that audience's might be able to better understand and appreciate the human being behind the Professional. I would also argue that there are some songs in this concert where he was very expressive. I'm not sure how to address the guitar not telling his story. The fact that his wife is sick at home and he can't be there w/her is literally evident if you think he's playing isn't as pristine as was recorded. Like any other Performer who is also a real person, there will be occasional shows that are more difficult than others and reflect it. But, like ALL Professionals, he shows up, and for that night he gives you what he has in him to give. And then, by tour manager's scheduling, if you can catch any performer on a rested good night, you're going to get a better show. That's just the honest truth In regard to live performances by any performer, even the best of them. The Professionals show up, walk on stage, and in that moment in their lives, they do their best to give the audience a good show. Some may come across w/more perfection, if there is such in a live show. And some, might reflect a human being doing their best in that moment because they aren't a robot. Perfection was recorded in the studio. You don't have to attend a show if you're looking for robotic perfection. I only speak for myself, but I attend live concerts for the experience, to see one of my favorite artists, and show them support and my appreciation for ALL of their work, not just what they played during the last hour. But everyone is different and free to have their own ideas, opinions, feelings, and expression them in the US, at least for now. I respect everyone's freedom of expressions. Huzzah & Blessings! 🕊️
