Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Live at Avatar Studios

For Ryan Adams album Easy Tiger he and The Cardinals made a video for each of the songs. All of them were filmed in Avatar Studios with Christmas lights on the walls and candles everywhere. Some of the video's were made available via bonus disc and others were available on the internet. I have not seen all of the videos but I do think the majority were available somewhere. Anyways, I got these recordings from a fine gentleman (or woman) over at www.alt-country.org and converted them to MP3. I had myself a solid listen last night (twice) and again this morning (twice). Easy Tiger - Live at Avatar Studios may be better then the actual studio album. Listen to the intense jam during Off Broadway and the truly mind blowing version of I Taught Myself How to Grow Old. His voice is amazing throughout (as usual) but check out The Sun Also Sets.

Halloween Head is live, you are correct. As far as I know that song was not played during these sessions so they filled it in with that.
