At his second show at the Beacon Theatre on his Prisoner Tour, Ryan Adams mostly kept his trademark wit under lock and key, though he managed to throw out some quips to a heckler an hour into his set. Perhaps Adams did not want to step into the domain reserved for his opener Alex Edelman (a comedian). But more likely it was because he planned a set packed with 23 songs he needed to get through in two hours. As he has been on each night of the tour, Adams has performed a different new song (from his forthcoming Prisoner B-Sides release) and he gave this crowd “Are You Home?” The sold-out capacity audience was on their feet for the entirety of Adams’ great show.
Super awesome bonus! Check out two not so great shots from Adams’s iHeartRadio Theater show. It was a privilege to attend and I was likely invited as one of the purchasers of Adams’s super deluxe Prisoner “End of the World” Edition box set (which I still haven’t received but, hey it should be great!).
