So, I am finally getting around to writing a post about the Cardinals last show. The Cardinals’ put on a pretty excellent show Friday, March 20th at the Fox theater in Atlanta! I was fortunate enough to get some very close floor seats with my friends care of the free make-up tickets. I have to say, the show was certainly better and a lot longer than October’s pitiful performance…

For those of you interested in what the Cardinals last show sounded like, download the entire concert recorded from onstage microphones here in FLAC or MP3 formats. I am listening to the FLAC recordings as I type, and it is certianly worth the download.

This certianly won’t be the last we will here from Ryan Adams or the Cardinals, I assure you. In fact, Ryan Adams is getting ready to release his second book, Hello Sunshine. If the music doesn’t return though, that’s alright. Enjoy some much deserved time with your new wife Ryan.
