Before my wife really knew anything about Ryan Adams, I dragged her to the 2005(?) Meyerhoff show in Baltimore. I assured her that she'd like it, and if not at least there were seats. I thought it was great, but that was the show where he kind of freaked out, sent the Cardinals off the stage, and somehow ended up playing a few unamplified songs while standing on a stool in the middle of the audience while being heckled by the 90% of the crowd that couldn't hear. Then after he made it back on the stage, the whole audience rushed to the front, and we ended up packed in like sardines. She found it all very unseemly.
