Not sure if anyone cares but here's a review from Adam's show in Cleveland on April 2nd.

One of my cats has been sick since Tuesday so I wasn't sure if I could make Adam's show in Cleveland on Thursday or not because I was waiting to see improvement in his health. He starting eating and drinking better that morning so I called my Mom to see if she was interested in going to Cleveland with me, I know it sounds lame but she's loves going to see Adam play, and got my brother to come over to watch the cat for the night. Adam started playing around 9:00, I was surprised to see that neither Nate or Gabriel were with him, but it was a nice change to see him play by himself. When we got to Wilbert's there was only about eight other people there, I was extremely shocked when all of them left before or shortly after Adam started. I felt bad that no one else showed up to see him play but it was kind of nice to have our own private show.

Setlist:
The Loneliest Hour
I Look Forward
Come Undone
All Night
Sweet Angel/Light of Memory
Love in a Riddle
Ordinary - Portion
Glory
A Growing Voice
Never Good Fighting
The Dream

Adam played for almost an hour, after the first four song he asked if there was anything we wanted to hear and I asked for Sweet Angel, which he played the first verse of before transitioning into Light of Memory. After Love in a Riddle he asked again and I said anything from Portion, not really expecting him to play anything, he said he would try and got out the first verse of Ordinary. We talk to him after the show about Gabriel's new cd, asked him if he knew if Live would be coming back to the Cleveland area any time soon and he said he wasn't sure. He did mention that Live's will be doing a summer tour but didn't give any sort of information about it. All and all it was an excellent show, one of the best shows of his I've seen.

Wow, excellent review. I feel bad that no one was at the show, good thing that you were there to support Adam. By the way, I don't think its lame at all for bringing your Mom to a show, I think that rocks. I'm also glad your cat is feeling better.

Awesome news about the summer tour! We are getting tons of confirmation, we just need details! Thanks again.

I don't see the connection. This should be in the Off-Topic Thread.

[Pokey]

So how was this decided to be the "official" Adam Kowalczyk thread, like .. if I start another one would that be unofficial? Did he have to sign off on a contract or something to open this thread, can you guys sue SOY if they have a thread titled official? .. I'm confused.

This should be moved to Other Music probably... that section did not exist when this thread was created.

When the fuck is he releasing a new record?

Adam has mentioned at a few shows that he was hoping to start on a new record this year but who knows if he'll get around to it. I know that right now he's producing/playing the drums and guitar on Gabriel Kienzle's new cd, right now their in the mixing process on that cd.

Who is that then? Worth a listen?

Who is that then? Worth a listen?

Gabriel has been playing guitar for Adam for awhile now, I was fortunate to see Gabe perform a few song of his own last time Adam played in Cleveland. I personally liked the songs he played in Cleveland and am quite intrigued to hear what they will sound like with a full band. Here's a link to his MySpace page, I believe that all the songs that are currently up are demos.

Guys, some time ago someone (I feel it was Dangum) uploaded a videoboot of Adam and the Weight. It was around 80-smth MB... I do not remember the venue or else. So if anyone knows what I am talking about, please, upload it again...

I really wanted to go to this show but unfortunately I couldn't find anyone to go with me. Well that's not entirely true I asked one of my friends to go but she didn't seem interested in going until 3:00 on Friday when she asked me what time we were leaving and by that time it was already way too late. This isn't the first time she's pulled this BS with me so I can't say I was that surprised by it but I was extremely pissed.

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Zmanpga, Adam really does put on one hell of a show. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures and videos from the show. How long did Adam play for and what songs were on the setlist?

Im disappointed to say I didnt get the setlist from him or make notes..He & Gabe played for about 1 hour...then AK played an encore by himself...
he hung around with us at the bar afterwards, I bought a bunch of cd's which he autographed, and he signed some pix I had of last show in Westbury of just him
maybe plans for another AK show this fall nearby if all goes well, I HOPE!
I have been working everyday..maybe tonite I will get to some vids
Thanks
