Ryan Adams How Keep Love Alive/Pearls On A String Letterman

[@chillrobots]

Man I miss this band

[@GregDrJJones]

Justin C With you, man. Unlike some, I actually get a kick out of watching RA shed his skins, pick up new musicians, and make some more incredible new music. But never was he better than with Neil Casals on his left, playing and singing. The unplugged session in County Cork, Ireland, with just RA and Casals playing and singing together--transcendent!

[@gringoloco4]

RIP Neal

[@zinnyzan]

Great versions of great songs from a great show. RIP Neal!

[@BrianEstabrook]

Like,... I can't even conceptualize that there are eight people who watched this and clicked 'I dislike this'. That,... mind-blowing.

[@timothyh6670]

maybe youre just superior to all..

[@timothyh6670]

cant conceptualize why someone might agree with your opinion on a matter?

[@eddieroot]

I forgot how much I loved this clip. RIP Spacewolf.

[@john-michaeldietz1302]

There can only be One. Ryan Adams forever. Simple as that. No one comes close.

[@stevicki]

runs thru my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like thunderstorm. How many things in life are just like that. so damned perfectly felt and described.

[@wlgj1341]

Thanks, me too, I wrote it

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

This one I wrote specifically for an early love in my life , Candace Norene Shockley…

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

She’ll flip at this broadcast, maybe why I wrote the lyrics…not, however, Adam’s compunction…

[@isabelappleton3155]

the harmonies are amazing

[@deepsix34]

It's not just adams. Letterman has all the best musical guests. Either Dave or one of his staff has great taste.

[@philipwilkinson988]

There's always new songs to sing but few as wonderful as by this man and this band.

[@stevenbb007]

Ryan Adams music is all about the details. no matter what type of music people are into all will agree that Ryan is wicket talented . i get it!!! he is far above all else and the fact that we hear it makes us lucky.

[@olebrent]

I saw a show last year in Ohio and walked outside and Neal was chatting with some fans, it was off the hook!

[@jennabayliss1942]

Love him singing Pearls on a string.His voice really carries.Do you think Ryan Adams gets sent all the teeshirts that nobody else will wear?lol.Noticed him donning an Iron Maiden one in another video..

[@odomi121]

2nd half of this video is instant classic!

[@pauljensen4535]

Adams and the Cardinals are back

[@goodbye41]

oh my, that second performace..

[@subpoprec]

Love the Misfits shirt.

[@zr24X4ROCKS]

ryan adams = SUPER TALENT. PERIOD

[@stevicki]

I don't know how old you are but Ryans music has me as spellbound as jackson browne and gram parsons did me in the seventies. i just love him.

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

He is good..but he’s singing my storylines only

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

His entire career will be with my storylines..

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

Fortunate, yes.. for only Adams..

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

The individuals of the Cardinals contribute LARGELY to this artists’ success and $$$

[@fredmep]

beautiful.

[@methtastesgood]

first song is off cold roses, second is off of easy tiger

[@samvanmeter4]

glorious kind and always on time

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

"I don't care sad it didn't rain and stay out"🌸

[@beneb1]

Elton John/ Andy Dick on the keys... Ryan Adams is an absolute beast of a musician. This guy pretty much owns everyone in every regard

[@sagacioussue]

I completely agree with Jeff. I like the album version but this is much better. Thank God for KZbin because I can listen too it whenever I'm on the computer.

[@liljgoneman]

thanks ryan, you help when i feel the need to cry sometimes.

[@craberlocker]

Ryan is already one of the all-time greats and deserves a lot more recognition. As for FORtheCURE2008's comments...I believe you don't know what songwriting is about. Songs are living things that change with the mood of the singer.

[@Bm1nor]

amazing.

[@justingarman]

An amazing performance, as always. One of the best "Pearls On A String" ive heard.

[@bizou311]

thanks!!

[@andrewjon]

great versions. this guy never lets me down.

[@dunkafelic]

yup that line's amazing. every time I hear it I wish I could've written that, and it makes me think of how moving it must be for the person he wrote it for.

[@wlgj1341]

Do you, because I DID WRITE IT

[@jicrookham]

amazing guitar!

[@tookool4school]

their freakin amazing!!!!

[@sshep13]

love this!!!!

[@munchie944]

fuckin' tight.....ryan rocks!

[@sblood311]

Pearls On A String is one of my all time favourite songs.

[@ZBritt92]

I absolutly adore Ryan Adams. . . Jesus chirst, that was back when I was into guns n' roses/ohter shitty 80's arena rock bands

[@goodbye41]

a genuine country artist

[@jeffreyjaguar6929]

Same here. That was a cool idea to sit around Dave's desk and do that one.

[@justingarman]

Even better than the album in my opinion.

[@lonely1251965]

yes, this is probably one of the best written lines ever.

[@Bizzy49565]

yeah! great!!! still love him

[@ohio1968javelin]

man thanx for posting great performance Ryans great live!

[@ferrousdogma]

just heard a band in the park where i live that reminded me of this band ," Old californio " wish you guys would come perform here in Paso robles ca. either in the park or at the midstate fair !

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Unseen sounds scary💙

[@Nearlyprescient]

yup! and he's been on quite a few times. but, he rarely ever mentions that Ryan's been on more than once.

[@MrUhrbrand]

Pure Genious

[@walkinghomeatnight]

I met Ryan on the street in Wellington New Zealand, talked to him for about a minute. Wish I'd said something cool tho.

[@운이좋은-h1c]

He found his calling.

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

In what way🌸

[@goodbye41]

I would know, I have nearly all of it..

[@Lena181]

Postively heaven. B.T.W. - Go, Nellie! (Your pal Lynn from Queens)

[@dewetowie]

Damn, I wish I knew.

[@SociallyRejected]

The only reason I've favourited this video is that How Do You Keep Love Alive is my favourite Adams song and I can't find another video when hes singing it live. The album version is a trillion times better, however. I've seen this guy live 3 times now and not once has he played How Do You Keep Love Alive.

[@boschvox]

they have a pretty extensive history...it'd be interesting to see them chat casually.

[@54spiritedwill54]

NC is the best

[@theflyingartist]

Hello webcasters! lol. What a goofball! Pearls on a string is genius! Great track.

[@jeroenbezuijen3767]

How do we keep this kind of music?

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

💙

[@ioriedwards7554]

songwise he has never reached anywhere near the "perfection" of LA CIENEGA"

[@gorillabeardedpup]

If you aren't a troll, you should be.

[@cegtown]

You need to check more stuff out. The song you mentioned is great. I agree. There is much, much more.

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Dave says🌸

[@stevicki]

you are all over these sites. If you don't like ryan...WHY?

[@thesevisions]

haha, "hello webcasters!" Letterman is great, Adams is all-time, what more could a person want in 6:30?

[@ryanguis]

Ryan is the best but it is a close second- Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is also great. Our generation's two greatest, our Dylan and Lennon.

[@jaykrause]

It's on Easy Tiger, actually.

[@mattosburn5]

its a harmony jet set sovereign jumbo,

[@deepsix34]

It's actually called "how do you keep love alive?" which might make it easier to find tab on the internet. Throw a capo on the second fret, and then the chords are just G,C, and D, with an occasional Em.

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Aramh🌸

[@stevenbb007]

AGAIN SHAYLA...SHAYLA SHAYLA.....

[@tookool4school]

someone help i can't find the 3d button on my keyboard, no but seriously this video freakin rocks!

[@aslison1]

How many times has he played on Letterman?

[@travassinhos]

please listen david fonseca cover- write 'david fonseca how do you keep love alive' and listen the best cover of this great music

[@bumpofcoke]

Elliott Smith is in that category as well.

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Raysotf🌸

[@feinschmeckeren]

I actually think that Ryan and David Letterman are good pals. There was a special thank you note to David Letterman in the tray of "29"

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Grant Gardner🌸

[@ImportanceOfWhatever]

Ryan Adams thanks Letterman in one of this CDs... so I think what you heard is completely wrong

[@BrettHowe2]

@CitizenJohnSmith Oh hes back

[@scottallenQ]

what is brand of guitar is he playing? looks very cool

[@jeffreyjaguar6929]

This version is great. Lots of songs are that way, not so good on the album but when you put the correct instrument arrangement together they take on a new life. Sounded too contrived on the album.

[@GettinBoredAgain]

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Lygt

[@SalvatoreVitaleTV]

what guitar is he using??

[@incubusmun]

such talent..unbelievable talent....in such an arrogant person lol

[@Mslin1961]

that is Jon Graboff ( maybe you were joking tho...lol )

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

ralhds🌸

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

This is confusing, these numerous ditties aren’t selective, just bunched together…?

[@axegas76]

what guitar is the one that Ryan is playing?

[@paolozanocco]

H1264 "Jet Set" Soverein Jumbo made by Harmony 1970-1972 ( A famous copy by Ibanez was the Concord 752 Jet Black )

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

[@Marphale]

"She runs through my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like a thunderstorm". This song rattles my tool like a thunderstorm. Boner achieved.

[@SilverZipperRecords]

anyone who likes this should check out Dillon Campbell's "Time Will Heal"...

[@Stellamaeby]

Girl = Nellie McKay

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Shwt

[@cegtown]

just listened to dave fronseca's version. great version. but he didnt write the song. ryan did. and you have to admit fronseca sounds like chris isaac. very much like chris isaac. i'll take ryans version everytime

[@trollingisme]

thats definitely not a tear in my ey.

[@mitchparel18]

It seems when he got married his music 🎶 suffered. Not sure though.

[@TimOdne-bb9vd]

Hey Ryan it's cool we're gonna actually eat that paper towel roll and after at least half a week when or matches in tune singing tunes spit stains meet for a fry
