RITTER,JOSH - Live At The 9:30 Club - Amazon.com Music
Recorded Live at The 9:30 Club (Washington DC) Oct. 2007 by National Public Radio. For the last five nights we had been careening south down Interstate 95 as the air got crisp. The clubs had gotten bigger but onstage we didn't really notice. We were playing brand new songs for the first time and each night was exhilarating. But DC, now that was a perfect night. As time goes by and people ask me if I remember some of my favorite shows, I'll always have this one on the tip of my tongue. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making it happen.... - Josh Ritter, March 2008

I'm a big fan of Josh Ritter's songs and although his studio records are great, there's a bit of flatness to the sound, to my ear anyway. When I saw him play the first time and realized what a wonderful band he was playing with and how nicely they play off each other I was frankly a bit surprised. Big swinging rhythms, interesting dynamic shifts, lots of energy, lots of partly-tongue-in-cheek rocknroll fun had by all. The bass player's marvel of a handlebar mustache really doesn't translate on the studio records. Here it is. These are really good versions of familiar songs, but more than that you get a sense of what Ritter sounds like having fun in front of his band.
You can hear the smile Ritter sang through during this whole evening. It was a magical show. He was just starting to get his first big public attention and had, I think, just returned from the UK and this was apparently the biggest US show he'd ever played. He walked out on stage and just stood there squinting out into the lights grinning in near disbelief for a long time, bouncing around on his heels. He played with huge energy and gratitude and he got plenty back from the audience. I think you can hear that here.
I have listened to the original NPR podcast dozens of times. It was a super set. I got this CD recently and was disappointed to find much of the original performance missing. Not sure why so much was omitted...I don't think they included what made the original so great.
Ritter's Historical Conquests album contained more let-it-all-hang-out rock-and-roll than his previous records, which came through in a rollickingly fun live show. Josh has always given fun live shows, with some high-energy songs (e.g., Lillian, Egypt), but the Historical Conquests tour had a higher proportion of such songs, with more electrified rock sound as well. I own a few live albums from previous tours but was wishing for a quality recording from the Historical Conquests era, and this captures the feel of being there in-person to the extent that a live recording can. The guitars are more gritty than on the studio album, you can hear the laughter in Josh's voice every now and then (just at how fun this performing thing seems to be for him), and you get the energy of an excited audience singing along. The two ballads are more stripped-down but also more raw and intense (especially The Temptation of Adam) than the original studio recordings. For those who had the pleasure of seeing the Historical Conquests tour, this album provides some re-living, and for those who didn't, this record will give a reasonably good idea of what it felt like to be there.
At the time this was published, it was the only decent Ritter live album available apart from Live at Vicar Street. It is a short set, but manages to convey the excitement of the live band, without quite such good acoustic quality as the Vicar St recording.
