Following a break from live performance that lasted years, Ryan Adams' return to the stage began with a 15 date European tour in June of 2011. Sandwiched between the recording of "Ashes and Fire" and the album's release, the tour featured Adams performing solo acoustic with setlists featuring tracks from across his career - from Whiskeytown through through his early solo work and his albums with The Cardinals and his then unreleased material from "Ashes and Fire"... allowing him to reconnect with his fans and stretch out within his own catalogue. Now, in celebration of its one-year anniversary, LIVE AFTER DEAF provides fans a way to experience that tour.
