Austin City Limits Web Exclusive: Ryan Adams "Dirty Rain"

[@mattmarshall569]

Ryan Adams has been my favorite artist since 2001 and this version of this song is probably my favorite song of his ever. Just freakin awesome.

[@tohuvavohu]

Hope you've gotten to see him

[@lindag8073]

Wow. Just found this man. Not gonna let go.

[@toddg9609]

Don't let go, Linda. I haven't for almost 20 years now.

[@kennethward4985]

Whiskeytown too , his early band.

[@ScottStLouis-fu3lz]

The songwriter of this generation

[@torontolarrivee7965]

Ryan Adams & The Shining, ladies & gentlemen.

[@miamirice6840]

Thank you Ryan 🙌🏽

[@mozart4733]

Love the way the song changes pace in this live version

[@IDontTalkToCops]

I saw them play in Melbourne at the Forum the other night & they absolutely nailed this song. Well, they nailed every song, but Dirty Rain live was a highlight for me. Fucking eargasmic! He also played some of his older stuff too and finished off playing Sweet Carolina as a duet with Jenny Lewis. Best damn live performance I've ever seen. If you get the chance to see Ryan Adams play live, don't miss it!

[@beef88]

Get into him. Deep into his music.

[@TheWoozawooz]

Last time I was here, it was raining, it ain't raining anymore The streets were drowned and the waters waning All the ruins washed ashore Now, I'm just looking through the rubble, tryna find out who we were Last time I was here, it was raining, it ain't raining anymore Last time I was here, you were waiting, you're not waiting anymore The window's broken and the smoke's escaping All the books scattered 'cross the floor And the church bells are ringing through the sirens And your coat was full of bullet holes Last time I was here, you were waiting, you ain't waiting anymore So, may the wind blow, may the moonlight know your name So, let the needle move the record 'round 'til the walls cave in And you and I are out there dancing in the dirty rain Last time I was here, it was raining like you ain't never ever seen it rain And your eyes were filled with terror, and the smoke from the gasoline As the stars exploded with gunfire, I saw you smiling just before Last time I was here, you were crying, you're not crying anymore So, may the wind blow, may the moonlight know your name So, let the needle move the record 'round 'til the walls cave in And you and I are out there dancing in the dirty rain Mm-mm, the dirty rain In the dirty rain, mm

When you got it you got it.....;

[@stephencburdett]

That's about as close to walking on water as you can get as a performer.

[@wlgj1341]

Thankyou for the sentiment..I wrote this storyline

[@reignking1]

Last time I was here it was raining It ain't raining anymore ...

[@gamjammer]

[@richardkenna149]

I didn't think the studio version could be improved upon. .how wrong i was...

[@richardkenna149]

I saw RA two nights ago - what he did with Dirty Rain went even beyond this version, thanks to some incredible lighting..luckily I videoed that song so I'm going to try and upload it

[@loadedready]

If we should be considerate about sharing why put it out here at all...? I don't get that. Ryan is the best though!!

[@wagesofsin623]

[@Sionare]

One have to tell Ryan he needs to wash his jacket and pants, almost 3 years!

[@maynardcm]

[@ericwarren3833]

[@alicasoto4497]

[@Sionare]

@@maynardcm man, i almost forgot, his underwear had to be dirty too, u know, cause the rain.

[@themikelewis94]

Benmont Tench has nothing on this guy. Master class on the rock-n-roll organ!

[@roknjok6491]

Really?? Who it he?

[@VinnyDrysdale]

No need to denigrate Benmont to praise this guy. Benmont's awesome.

[@Christer364]

How dare you.

[@wlgj1341]

and the self-imposed exile for sight accomplishing practiced performance with very little rereference

[@themikelewis94]

Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear.....

[@bobf.5538]

why not grow hair all over your face...

[@maynardcm]

he keeps his hair in his eyes to help block the stage lights and camera flashes, otherwise he gets intense bouts of vertigo because of his inner ear condition. he's very open and honest about this situation in basically every interview.
