Nobody Told Us: Ryan Adams @ 12 Galaxies

ryan adamsWe keep missing the rock-n-roll celebrity sightings around this city. Last week Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies) were at Rock It Room on the night of the Madame Legal show we told you about. And then after playing two nights at the spacious and refined Palace of Fine Arts, Ryan Adams stole over to the tiny 12 Galaxies on Thursday night to jam with Phil Lesh. Friends who've known him or met him tell us he's obnoxious/crazy/The Devil, but we still love Ryan's music and wish we could have seen him at this show. Reader Leanne sent us the scoop:

"Did you guys hear about this? I suppose it's old news by now, but I'm still so thrilled that for $5 the Galaxies packed em in at 12:30am last night, and let Ryan & Phil play Dead-esque alt-country jams for hours and hours. I know they were still playing at 3am.

Ryan Adams said several times (between his mopey aggravating stage act) that he loves San Francisco so much. Even if he gets so high and so wasted that he can't walk straight."

Our friend Rosemary says the lovely Jakob Dylan was in the audience, and Leanne says tons of people were snapping photos. We found this great photo set from harpy on Flickr (we hope she doesn't mind us linking). If you have photos or stories from the show, please share them in the comments. And next time you have a rock-n-roll celebrity sighting or hot tip for a secret show, email us!
