Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cobwebs on Letterman 

I was there for this performance, right in the front row! You couldn't imagine how huge the sound was...absolutely blew my mind!

Psyched that Adams is back but its bittersweet with Casal gone.

I always felt that the live versions of songs from "Cardniology" were much better than the studio versions

Ryan Adams can write the songs that I am thinking in my head and feeling in my heart without ever meeting him in person

Never sick of this performance

This guy just tugs on my emotional heart strings like no other..Just an incredible genius

I can't put into words how much I love this band and Ryan Adams ... @#$% amazing.

i cant wait for saturday when ryan and the cardinals come to ireland! love u guys

Excellent... One of my fav ever

wow, that was genius! best version ive ever heard!

Great Fucking Band!

just love the amp sound...

I miss Neal Casal so much

Incredible!

One of my favourite tracks of Cardinology. Really well performed. I hope they tour back to NZ again, I'd love to hear some of these tracks live.

wow, thats a great version..wall of sound!

GREAT GREAT GREAT RYAN IS THE BEST!!

I totally agree. I didn't like it that much at first, but then I thought, "Wow for not liking it, I sure listen to it a lot". It's a definite grower - it's great.

well easy tiger was only a year ago. I've been listening for at least four years.But heartbreaker got me started so thats nice.

RIP. Neal Casal

ryan is amazing!!!

there IS no off position on the genius switch-love it man, you rock, even thouh you may have quit the cardinals, fuck it

Man I miss Neil so much

Does it come better than this?

fucking amazing, a class apart.....

thats how I took it too, like will you confuse my love for you, for something pointless.

Awesome !

Everything he does is damn good. There are real music gems on all his albums. Saw him live once however and he was very poor. Only for he is such a genius I wouldnt have forgiven him

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

YESSS!

wish this had been the one actually on the show. I like Fix It but I much prefer this one. Although, Ryan so rarely disappoints anytime. Glad he seems to be a favorite of Dave's.

I do love his old stuff heartbreaker is one of the best albums of all time. This stuff is really good though.

Neal Casal has such a pure voice. These guys together , it doesn't get much better. Ryan's amp is a little silly . . . but those shoes rule. They was made for peddlin'.

This is actually the first time a new album has come out since I've been a fan, and it's hard to adjust from old to new when you are hardly aquainted with Easy Tiger and such to begin with.

Fucking Wow!

@wrongemboyo79 It's actually a big case that fits four smaller amps. Look at the knobs on it. They're just pictures. Franz Ferdinand uses it too.

regarding the genius switch, I beg to differ. see phil specter, francis crick and many others. but ryan's switch continues to be in the on position. and his t-shirts are awesome too.

that amp rules. i want one. put it in my shed...maybe

Not a snare in the entire song!! How cool is that?!

I would reckon so

@dph5150-how wonderful-good for you!!!! Sooo jealous....

look at that big ass amp!

Rya Adams is th esong writing genius.. Trey Anastasio is the musical genius !

I didn't know Andy Dick plays keyboards. Great song!

@1bmarsh + Conor Oberst and M. Ward in my opinion, Conor especially I mean he's really just finding his sound now

Neal Casal=brilliant.

At least Jeff Tweedy could go sober and still entertain us. Ryan will be back...it just seems like some chick told him to be "good" for a while. YO RYAN - THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY F'N FUN! The Andy Kaufman of Rock-n-Roll has turned into Ned Flanders. Rock on Ned.

@1bmarsh if he's here then how did the generation lack him?

yeah, but cobwebs are not just spiderwebs -- they are old, discarded ones which are dirty and cluttering. so, i think perhaps ryan is making an analogy to worthless, unrequited love. brilliant song. great, moody lyrics

true word he wont match heartbreaker again, but he can get close.

That's not really an amp, It's just a big box that's covering up his other amps. I believe there are 4 amps stacked up in there.

This is my favourite track. Its so fab and Neal is so hot here! lol

This music really has to grow on me before it's meaningful. I can't believe that I said that just a day ago. And I'm not even just trying to be a bitch for everyone else. Listening to exactly the same song 24 hours later is entirely different.

I kind of take it to mean will you confuse love with something worthless or which seems to have no meaning, that can be easily discarded. Personal opinion.

Me I didn't its great. But Heartbreaker is one of the best of all time to me so.

what does he mean with cobwebs? im dutch so cobwebs are to me spider-webs

song only good live and in person

It's not, I was wrong, end of story. It should be though. . .

you know things are going wrong when your getting pissed at the people who love the same artist as you.

Haha. what is that supposed to mean?

holy shit, Ryan looks a lot like Rivers Cuomo

no way. Heartbreaker and Whiskeytown were inspired by Dylan. This is Adams trying to venture into a more popular genre of music which he sucks at. I don't hate Ryan Adams, I just wish that he would go back.

It's just four Princeton's in one big, fake Princeton.

Rivers cuomo?....pfffft

Lol your funny david letterman! NOT

really am not a fan of the new album .. yuck

Yawn
