Ryan Adams – Live At Carnegie Hall (2015) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Ryan Adams’ Live at Carnegie Hall was recorded over two nights at the historic Carnegie Hall in New York, NY on November 15th and 17th, 2014. Featuring hit singles “Come Pick Me Up”, “Gimme Something Good”, “Oh My Sweet Carolina” and many more.

Recorded live November 15 & 17, 2014 at the Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage in Carnegie Hall in New York, NY.

“When you look up into the crowd at Carnegie Hall there is a feeling of reverence. I know what the seats feel like. I know the angle of the stage from the seats…so I sort of have an idea of what is happening…Strangely my only thought ever up there is to make the people feel relaxed and like there is no pressure. I love diffusing it. I cannot explain why but once diffused it can build to an even deeper place. Once you destroy the 4th wall you can rebuild. I like to rebuild the emotional space with the audience. It feels like the best thing. It feels real.” -Ryan Adams

One for the fans, the 2015 concert set Live at Carnegie Hall — released just months after his exquisitely sculpted 2014 eponymous set — showcases two entire concerts, both largely solo, intimate, and loose. It’s the antidote to the lush Ryan Adams, an album which, at its best, occasionally sounded like a lost gem from 1980 by focusing on the man and his songs. Where he used to push these buttons hard, Adams seems relaxed, running through his songs with an insouciant ease and seeming almost more invested in the between-song patter, where he tells wry jokes and plays the role of a genial host. Not one for the skeptical, but Carnegie Hall charms: give yourself over to it, and Adams wins you over, first through his act and then through his songs. -AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
