Ryan Adams rocks Carnegie Music Hall

A Ryan Adams show is one of the great rock 'n' roll question marks of the Common Era; historically, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of witnessing either brilliancy or breakdown. Will Adams pick a fight with the monitor engineer (or a fan) and storm offstage after three songs? Or will he play for three hours nonstop? Will he charm his audience or revolt it?
Fortunately for those at last night's sold-out Carnegie Music Hall performance, Adams kept the capriciousness under control, delivering a solid show of career-spanning music to an elated crowd with the help of his stellar four-piece band, the Cardinals. Despite a few sound issues at the onset (which the guy in the balcony yelling "More Vocals!" definitely didn't help), the band hit full stride early on and justified the range of Adams' material.
New songs like "Goodnight Rose" and "Two" sounded even better than the versions on his latest record, "Easy Tiger," -- though everybody on stage seemed more comfortable plowing through classic tunes like "Come Pick Me Up," "Stars Go Blue" and "Please, Do Not Let Me Go." Adams was enjoying himself, it seemed, commenting on the beauty of the venue and even taking time to mock himself by sitting in the crowd and yelling "requests" at his band onstage.
He's still a strange bird, though. He'd pause for minutes between songs to hug a speaker or chug a Diet Coke. He'd mumble into the microphone. At times, he acted like the show was his first ever performance in front of a live audience. But then he'd launch into a classic barnstormer like "Rescue Blues" and all would be forgiven. Despite his idiosyncrasies, there's no denying he's a pro. Furthermore, he seemed near apologetic when he told the crowd he had to stop the show due to the Carnegie's strict 11 o'clock curfew.
Considering what else could have transpired, we got a good one.
