Ryan Adams Bedhead, Volumes 4 & 5
I know that I promised the rest of these live Ryan Adams Bedhead compilation recordings a long time ago, and posted Disc One, Disc Two, and Disc Three, but then fell off the wagon. I kind of figured that after the ginormous orgy of Ryan Adams posts following the San Francisco concert that I would just give it a rest for a few weeks.But now I'm recovered and am going to go ahead and post up these last two batches, there is some really fantastic live stuff on them from the 2005 tour. Check out the scorching, bluesy rendition of "I See Monsters," the stunning piano of "Nightbirds," and darned if you can't help but laugh at the "Summer of '69" (BRYAN Adams cover). That's the spirit, sport.
Also, I was reminded of this vastly entertaining interview with Ryan Adams via Pitchfork last year. Worth a read (or re-read). It's like listening in on a phone conversation or something, very fly-on-the-wall.

Thanks for these I loved the Bed Head series, especially the hilarious Ryan Adams pictures. Great site!
Thank you so very much! The first three were great!
thanks for these, dear lady ;-))
meant to grab them a while back, but forgot.
worth it alone for the cover of Summer of '69 -- hysterical ad-lib -- followed by the brilliant segue into the 'Mats' / Westerberg's "Talent Show" as its coda: GREAT stuff!
i've always been amazed by Ryan's very keen ear, making connection of chord progressions etc.
love jp bowersock's lead, too. i do miss Bowersock's sound being in the Cards' mix -- much preferred to Casals, even if Neil fits the jam-band aesthetic much better, if you will.
thank you very much for these, well over at Ledbelly nothing has been going on, but please check in to see how i'm doing:http://yellowledbelly.blogspot.com/ Well heather, i'm having trouble finding out exctally Bedheads i have. i have your #5 1-5, but i have some other ones i obtainted via bit torrent, and i'm confused about what ones they are, they have no informatin besides Bedhead I, II, and III. and the track info, is their a site with information on the bedhead series?
Great interview. He's a piece of work, but you know, all in all I don't think he's a bad guy. Very driven, and he obviously takes no crap. He's blessed us with some amazing music, and I feel there's a lot more to come. Thanks for the post, Heather.
nice post. i have some of the good ones, but each is worth a listen. good choice - i'm glad you didn't forget to come back to this series...
cheers - ryan (ryan's smashing life)
There are 5 different bedhead Series - for a totla of (I think) 19 CD's worth of material. So, if you're wondering which one you have, good luck. The best place to try and find out is www.answeringbell.com.
Best,
Chris
thanks for this stuff. it's interesting that ryan plays that bit from "talent show" - he played a show here in mpls in december 2004 where he called out westerberg, referring to him as a "bitter old bitch", but then extolling his virtues as an influence. it was a great show to be at; i felt like i was witnessing a nervous breakdown breakdown right on stage.
wasn't able to download....can you put them up again?
Sorry, took em down because they are huge files and I needed the space on the server for more modern stuff; I believe you can get them at the RyanAdamsArchive.com
I noticed u posted the Behead volumes. I've been wanting that for a loooong time.. Do you think that you can repost them all in a zip or something?
i realise this post is well over a year old, but do you have these files still for me to download? im pretty much in love with ryan. i have a lot of live shows for a trade if you are interested!
