Interesting experience
by Nita on 5/18/25Orpheum Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 4 out of 5I love Ryan Adams. He’s one of my favorite musician/songwriters. My husband is a die hard rocker and I really wanted to turn him on to how awesome Ryan can rock. Unfortunately, this show turned out to be solo acoustic with LOTS of talking. I was hoping it was going to be a full band show much like the I’d seen him perform a few years ago at The Greek. While I was disappointed it wasn’t, we still enjoyed him when he was performing and enjoyed his stories. The cool part of it was it kinda felt like you were just hanging out with him in his leaving room listening to him blurt out his thoughts and play a song here and there. However, some of the audience banter went on way too long and there were times I just wanted him to quit stalling and play some music. After all, that’s why we were there. There is a Ryan that is so deep, so beautiful and so very very talented. There is also a Ryan who can be intolerable, annoying, tortured and selfish. We got a little of both.
