Made my way to Rochester this past weekend to see Ryan Adams & The Cardinals play at the Auditorium. A very nice venue, in a very sketchy town. An armed security guard in the Wendy’s (the only place we could find to eat dinner at) was a first. Anyways, after eating we headed to the venue. Our seats were perfect. Dead centre, about halfway back just before the balcony overhang started. Though we didnt use our seats that much since everyone was standing. Ryan and crew got things started around 9pm and played for almost 90 minutes before taking a 10 minute intermission. They came back on stage and played for another 30 minutes. We were waiting for an encore but i guess because of the 11pm curfew it didnt happen. All in all, it was a great show and well worth the drive from Toronto. Looking forward to a hometown show next year.
