“He was 10 feet in front of me, so close that I could actually hear   the guitar and his vocals without the PA, which was amazing.  Such a great crowd, too. Not a single song callout, so quiet and respectful… Ryan’s voice was phenomenal.  Before English Girls (the part where I grabbed my girlfriends knee and   nearly shit myself) he mentioned something about writing a lot of these   songs when he was “insane” and said something about changing the  words,  but I don’t actually think he did. Either way, between that and   Cannonball Days……  When he came out for the encore —  leaving to a standing ovation — he  spread out a few sheets of paper on  his guitar case and went into some  AMAZING new songs. God, I LOVED  hearing those new songs. He saw someone  with a camera during one of  them and said “do you see me looking at you?  put it down. this is  between me and the people here.” … and proceeded  to play at least 1/2  of the new album. He apparently loves Sweden, said he would  get shit for it, but that it  was his favorite country in the world in  which to play. That he would  live there if he could. I concur. I’d grab  an apartment in Malmo and a  bike and be merrily merrily merrily all  the way. The show ended with literally a 3-5 minute standing  ovation, with Ryan  kneeling down and tapping the stage with his  knuckles. Unreal night. Oh, and I love the Buck, which he said  was used to record all of the  albums, and he wanted to bring it out  “just this once” for everyone to  see. There was something about hearing  those songs with the same guitar  tone as they were recorded that made  it extra special. The strumming on  English Girls, for instance…”
