Happy New Year! Another great show from Ryan and the Cardinals. The best in Seattle in quite some time. This is an excellent recording of an excellent show. Thank you Bryan! I was just over your shoulder in Row 'G' in section 14 :-). I give this show 4 stars, but that has nothing to do with the content or quality of the recording and show. RA & the Cardinals; Paramount Theatre, Seattle, WA -- Saturday, January 26, 2008 j_jeffrey_wagner 2008-01-29 17:56:31 2008-01-29 17:56:31 4 The emotion and vibe at this show was amazing. Though feeling "under the weather," RA was loose and talkative - almost like a stand-up comic. Hilarious at times.* He felt comfortable enough to play Come Pick Me Up. The CR jam is so sweet. The Bartering Lines opener sets a beautiful "blue cave" feel. Halloweenhead is haunting. This is a great audience recording. But I would die to find a lovingly crafted SBD/AUD matrix of this show. Please? * For instance, check out the "she's chewing that gum now" track. He says he's been watching a girl sitting w/ her boyfriend. She looked pissed and her BF was oblivious to it. She started chewing her gum harder and harder through the song. "She started chewing the hell out of it," he said. They responded because he says, "yea, you guys." He says to the guy, "Man, when you leave, you gotta go, 'Hey baby, how you feeling'? Because she's chewing that gum now but pretty soon she's going to be chewing your ass!" After the laughter, he says, "I'm sorry, I just notice stuff!" Spectacular show - need SBD/AUD Matrix! kirklwa 2008-01-31 18:45:09 2008-01-31 18:45:09 5 Ryan was on, made the concert seem intimate. Strong performances of all songs. I'm a huge fan and missed his last show in Seattle. This was my first Cardinals show, and it makes me want to hit the road and catch a few more. Good job on the recording, thanks so much for providing the chance to re-experience it! Great show eelsongs 2008-02-02 15:49:20 2008-02-02 15:49:20 4 Amazing recording.... Sounds like a SBD for much of the show... The crowd musta been very into the show.... "Down In A Hole" is amazingly intense given Ryans recent experiences & our local knowledge of Layne Staley's experiences.... Amazing performance... Amazing show.... Whoa!! WHoa! mystickaya 2008-02-03 05:18:14 2008-02-03 05:18:14 5 There's now a better sounding sbd recording of this great show on LMA. Check it out and thanks to Kevin for that! SBD is now up on LMA! farfromperfect 2008-05-05 08:37:39 2008-05-05 08:37:39 0 5 4.50
