who’s here for Neal?

And the award for best backing vocal and instrumental accompaniment goes to: Neal Casal.

Now Neal is with the stars...

A song of rare beauty and perfection! Great pairing!

It makes me shiver every time. It gets to me. Ryan Adams gets to me, in all his heartbreaking and beautiful honesty. No one compares to him, and no one gets close to his musical genius, so why bother arguing about which version is better? Ryan'll always win in the end!

Best songwriter I've heard. I've heard versions, of this song & liked them, but after picking one after another of his, discovering the most original songwriter & musician I've heard, well a devoted Ryan Adams fan was just born tonite. By the way I've seen and heard a lot great musicians but this Ryan guy just jumped ahead of artists I love & at 62 yrs. alive & 50 yes as a guitar player that loves music & performers with that class & style & soul & to be that complete at 40, mr. Adams you are something, I can't find a song yet that doesn't impress me or style, I'm a guy that didn't get stuck in the 60's or any other decade's music too, I like it all, I had an slogan for a Radio station I dreamed of having that their motto: ALL THE HITS, NONE OF THE TIME would get listeners that really likes music, the songs between the hits, so I'm glad that I met your songs tonight, I am flat knocked out how good & how many songs that won't let new or old fans down , I love your music & want to hear it all.

Neals playing was always so gorgeous.

i have to admit that the first time i heard this song was on "one tree hill", but once i youtubed the original by ryan adams, there is no other version for me. this is definitely one of the best songs of the 2000s and no tim mcgraw or bono can do it better than the songwriter himself.

my, Now, wife chose to walk down the isles to this song. But, it HAD TO BE the Adams Casal version. This Song captured every essence of the of the moment. Hands Down, this version of "When The Stars Go Blue" is the absolute best. An Adams/Casal duet at its finest. Thanks for the Memories Guys.

LOVE these two artists together. At a loss for words really. Whoa. Just surfing KZfaq tonight, and fell upon this. Stunning. Simply stunning.

This and a few other by RA and NC are some of my favourites that keep my faith in real musicians and performers

forever will my ears, hold this the standard of emotion and acoustic balance...

#RIP Neal..... :(

This song always makes me cry. My dad played it for me when I was little all the time. Great song!

Absolute classic!!!...there r many versions out there,but none warms my heart as much as this one

Neal will be sadly missed .. R.I.P.

Brilliant and Beautiful! I could listen over and over and never get tired! ♡♡♡♡

can't stop watching this, great raw emotion ryan puts into this song

Not one second of this could've been any better. To the eleven thumbs down, I would never play music with you and I just don't want to know you, PERIOD.

This song sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

Seriously, to the person that shared this video with the rest of us- thank you. Of all the vids on you tube I've seen over the years- I'm sure I've watched this, by far the most.

There's no question this song is absolutely beautiful performed this way. I love the raw passion of it.

been to this church in this gorgeous lil harbour town on a magnifient peninsula, dingle. it's so extraordinary. and this song is so the equal of it. thank you, once again, ryan adams.

this is why im learning to play guitar......this is the guy that made me listen to other types of music and not just one.....i owe

Magic

Beautiful song, beatiful venue, beautiful performance.

Beautiful version of this song--Ryan Adams is a genius when it comes to song writing--he is extremely talented!!

Touching, pretty, sensational!

speaks straight to my

This song is where I go.. It's beauty is unmatched.

He really hits that falsetto note. Great singer, that Ryan Adams is

such a sweet sweet tune...

this song is crazy good

gold is one of my fave albums and this is one of my fave songs of all time!!! love his albums..very talented guy indeed!!!!!!

This is pure real music!!! :) Thanks a lot

this is such a brilliant version. the solos make it so so good.

Oh dear lord I'm actually going to see Ryan Adams on Tuesday night in Cork... can hardly believe it!

Greatest singer/songwriter of our time and sadly reminds me of what Gram Parsons might have accomplished if he had respected his gift and was dedicated to his craft in the way that Ryan is. And just to imagine what a Gram Parsons' rendition of this beautiful song might've sounded like is enough to put a smile on your face all day, (or night.)

great song, sweet sweet performance. thanks for posting!

So great. Thanks so much for posting these!

gorgeous have been a total RA fan forever

Ryan Adams got robbed. This is without a doubt the very best version of this song." Let it ride" also is another sign of his tallent. The man has a gift!!!

I like every version of this song I have ever heard.

Ryan can absolutely make his guitar scream along with him. This version is amazing!

Love this. Adams is huge in Ireland..

This is a really beautiful song! Thanks for sharing this!

Awesome version, such a full sound with such a simple arrangement. I have to admit I am offended that Tim McGraw covered this song in techno-country... when Ryan wrote it and nailed it... but I suppose it bring Ryan royalties, so that's good.

Here for Neal. RIP

Excellent !!! I love this song !

this is amazingly beautiful

My Dad just passed this song reminds me of him-oxox-By the way he was from Couny Kerry-PERFECT-Gave me chills to find out this was performed there-2007

Great!Awsome! :D

toodrunktodream thanks so much for uploading this. great name by the way, its so true

you took the words out of my heart and wrote them yourself! no way I could have put it better than that! x

its amazin song and i've heard it so many times.

F'ing brilliant!! I hope i could come too!!

thank you thank you thank you for posting!

this a beautiful song....and they play it well.

This gives me chills

No one can sing it as good as him.

thank you for sharing! I

Beautiful version

homg this is like the best version of this song... the guitars are beautiful..

nice man, nice, you said it perfect. he can't be labeled as a certin singer.

With gratitude to Michael Jewell Haley who pointed me in the direction of the original version of the song...I now give you this little gift. Am I wrong or does his voice just float like a bird. Love this acoustic version and now I'm a fan of Ryan Adams who I'd never heard of before.

Simply wonderful

Where do you go when you're blue? Love this song

you rock Taylor

Ryan wrote it, most beautiful thing ever

i miss neal

Couldn't agree more! amazing performance, but how sad the input level has been screwed up!! Would love to find a clean audio version of this gig.

@jaqiithebest This song was composed and written by Ryan Adams, the song in OTH (Tyler Hilton and Bethany Joy Lenz) is just a version of this one

This song is utterly beautiful, Ryan Adams' voice is just stunning; perfect for falling alseep to. Though I must say that the cover by The Burden of Paradise with extra saxophone (!) is a bit nifty too. :)

Por que eu tô ouvindo essa música cara !?!?! ❤❤❤❤❤

For those curious, Ryan is playing a Harmony Sovereign..same oddball guitar that stairway to heaven was recorded with ;)

bela canção

sehr schön!!!

Weee I love the marionette and the wooden shoes!

Rest In Peace Neal

I love that Harmony Soverign.

sorry, I know it skips. Trying to see if I can reupload a HQ version now. Thanks for the comments, TDTD.

Maravilhoso!

first time i heard this was Tim McGraw as im a pop country fan.....but this version is the best i've ever heard

Magic......

Can't believe the news that Neal Casal has passed away :'(

The only word that comes to mind when I watch this is "magic".. that's it

@Jaxton98 it's all good natured. Thanks for listening!

Man, they've really improved this song since Gold.

Wow, Neal.......I was a fan.

i love this version with neal casal. i wish i could find the mp3.

@Jaxton98 Ryan Adams is the original writing artist of this song, all others including Tim, covered it from him.

I need some R A today.....

Good song 🙂

Just throwing it out there-- Drugstore(band)...Never Come Down(song). Sick. also hear El President(Thom Yorke guest vox). Thanks fer reading.

I can't stop listening to this video...is there any way to find the version that doesn't skip??

AGREED!!!

so are those 5 videos the only ones from this gig? thanks for postin 'em by the way...awesome

Agreed.

@Jaxton98 this is Ryan Adams original that Tim covered. theres a funny bit on a Yahoo performance where after the band finished playing the song, Ryan says, "I wrote that song. ME! It made a ton o' cash and paid for my pool made of Unicorn bones." Gotta love him. But yes, Ryan did write the song, and yes he made a shit ton of money letting other artists cover it (Tim, the Corrs, etc...).

ack.... Love this youtube, but am I crazy or is the video skipping a bunch? Making me crazy trying to watch it.
