Adams, Ryan - Invisible Riverside Lyrics

Dude is a good song writer, good singer, good playing while singing. Its very basic stuff without much innovation but most people aren't looking for innovative song writers anyway.

Neil did nothing wrong. Now, the sound engineer. on the other hand, should be written up.

Not bad for no rehearsal.

That Buck Owens guitar is going to be worth a fortune some day. :)

Aren't geniuses generally a mess? All they care about is the thing they are creating. That's why we don't want to know the back story (how he was rude to Finn and Janis)

CookieCrumbles Great Point.

ryan adams is an amazing performer (which makes his average songs sound good). but he'll never be a writer like finn

I couldn't disagree more. Neil Finn is a fine songwriter but Ryan Adams is sublime both as a songwriter and as a performer.

I find the interest in the controversy strange tbh. Even people who were in the audience don't know the whole story about what went on. News flash, everyone of us has an ego and musicians have the biggest of all.

Brilliant songwriters are troubled people. I'm sure if Ryan Adams was super nice it would reflect into some pretty bland music

This is the Ryan at his best. Best version of "Invisible Riverside" I ever heard. No question about it.
It's too bad this show is known more for the feuding between Ryan and Neil Finn & Janis Ian.

Beautiful doesn't even describe it. Deeply moving. He's a musical genius. Thank you Ryan.

Beautiful version of Ryan Adams singing "Invisible Riverside"

Lovely

HOLY SHIT!!! It's an acoustic performance guys. It's not supposed to sound like it was recorded for hours in a studio.

No disrespect to Neil Finn, but he clearly almost screwed the song up several times. I have to give kudos to Ryan for staying focused and pulling it off.

listen to it with head phones. you can hear the mess ups. i mean i guess its not a huge deal but its noticeable.

Hm it sounds fantastic to me, but maybe my ears just don't pick up on that stuff haha

I think that's the idea, but they kinda fucked this song up and nearly ruined it, in Ryan's opinion. You definitely hear some bum notes though and things that don't quite work.

i dont know :S

I was a little confused when I heard about that spat...I thought the idea here was for each musician to play a song in turn, and the others to chuck in a bit of backup guitar or vocals whereever it worked...and all three should be honered when the others play with them.

Beautiful voice.

piss on my parade you talent trolls!!!

Jesus Christ, Ryan, grow up and realize how good you've got it. I'm a huge fan of both Neil and Ryan but seeing or hearing about them throwing tantrums over things like this just irk me. How long has it been since either of them actually had a real issue to whine about? I'm pretty sure they both are making the mortgage payments and have reliable transportation.

someone try to pull the chords from my hands,a visual oz!!!

Best singer/songwriter going, there is just him.

Lawrence Frauens And with the release of his latest album - Prisoner - RA's greatness continues.

Ahhhh.... good memories. I was there that night at the recording. No love lost between Ryan and Neil Finn, that's for sure!!!!

Who knows what actually happened amongst this crowd,but there were alot of bum notes coming thru on this particular song,i've seen ryan play live regularly,whether here or in the flesh an he doesn't do bum notes! I think the other 2 wanted to throw in a few tasty bits here an there and nearly derailed the tune in parts! Not kool,either way...dont give your ball away next time ryan...

Am I missing something here, did something happen after the song that the clip doesn't show??

Arstistic conflists aside, I can't think of a live song that comes close to how perfect this performance is. My God!

Who's that unlike ?? Bierber again !! *-*

Great song! Gotta love the wonderboy, Ryan Adams.

The guys a bona fide genius in my book but he needs to chill out....

As much as I love Ryan's music, the dude really needs to stop with the diva nonsense. If he did not want to participate with the other two, then he should have politely declined the invite to be on the show. It's not hard to be nice, Ryan. You are sitting next to two amazing songwriters who deserved the respect they were trying to give to you. How rude of you to pack it up while they were finishing the set.

Brilliant song by Ryan, and great to see Neil Finn!

Sounds to me like Ryan's a prima donna bitch.

I didn't think Neil was playing too loud at all. What is Ryan's problem?

This is a real atmosphere inducing timeless song. Some shades of the old classic Neil Young I think at times.I'd heard of this guy before but thanks to this & some of his other stuff you've been kind enough to post here, I'll be keeping an eye on him.
