Ryan Adams performed for the first time in over a year on 10/29/2010 at "I Found This Funny," a benefit for 826LA, an afterschool writing program founded by David Eggers.  This rehearsal was filmed by Farhad Parsa, photographer for the event.



Adams, along with new bandmates Marshall Vore (drums), Sebastian Steinberg (bass), and Jamie Candiloroo (piano), also performed a few new songs ("Ashes & Fire," "Dirty Rain," and "Shining Thru the Dark"), although it's not clear whether these are from his in-the-works new solo albums or songs from the hopefully soon-to-be released "old" (but unreleased) Cardinals III/IV or Black Hole.
