Just started to think about Counting Crows the other day when I was trying to catch some sleep. Now, what really caught me was the though of a beautiful song; "Round here"
Wow, that song is amazing!
I love most of counting crows work but this song stands out a bit I think.
So damn beautiful!
"Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white."
mmmm. sweeeeeeet! I can feel the taste of the words and it tastes sweeeeet.
Adam Duritz is a very talented storyteller. He's telling stories with his lyrics and he does it well.
Peace out.

There have been loads of bands that over the years i have developed and then lost an interest in but i still listen to them now and again. Bought a new ipod yesterday and a.a.e.a was one of the first albums i put on it.
Yeah, I also think that August and everything after is their best album, though I like This desert life too. well I like all of them.
mmmmmmmmmm round here. i just can't get it out of my head. It's just soooooooooo good.
That's too bad. i've never seen them live. maybe it's for the best...

Have not listen too intense to say i really know their music, but they sound really good.
Bad live, ey?
Only heard a live recording, but on that one they sounded really good!
the show i saw from them alst summer was one of the most disappointing shows ive ever seen. i remember them being very good several years ago. but i think they played maybe 8-9 songs and stretched each one out forever while adam rambled (usually repeating the same lines over and over ad nauseum). im all for improv and jamming, but you've got to make it interesting and balance things. they did not.
With Adam it's hit and miss. I've seen him blow the lyrics to Long December which basically wrecked the song and then deliver a spine tingling Rain King next.

Have to agree.. saw them a while back and wasnt too impressed. They were good but not as good as I would have thought.

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
Adam is different live. He doesn't sing......he just talks & says the lyrics. Veyr differnt from the studio albums.
I remember he was on Stern once & told a story about Eddie. I guess there was a Crows song in a Coke commercial. At a benefit show, Eddie went into his dressing room & left him a book about soda companies being evil. Adam said they were always cool & got along before that.
it's a shame. they were a great band back then.
mmmmmm round here.
gosh, i am starting to loose my voice. i sound like an old lady who have been smoking too much and have been drinking too much whiskey... i'm ill. going to sleep now..
nighty nighty
Word! I think the only one worse is snoop dogg...course is that really considered a live act or a circus? Hey I had free tickets and some acid so I decided to check out some hip hop. But to the original point, I've seen CC live a couple of times and they've sucked all the time live.

is it because they dont do 30 songs?
they certainly mix it up.
just released heinken hall is a fucking gem!
apparently shrek 2 and big fish are completely different hypocryte.
heineken hall was the most disappointing release i bought last year. even my friend, a die hard crows fan, was disappointed with the show we saw. i dont mind songs sounding different from the album version, if it's good. but it's not. adam rambles. he doesnt sing. he doesnt even improv... he must've said "cos when i think of heaven" 50 times in a row during rain king. that WAS the jam. adam SAYING (not singing) that line over and over and over and over... then going back to the regular song. they just weren't good. they played MAYBE 9-10 songs. and they ALL had the same worthless and repetitive jams.
i saw them in 2000 on the desert life tour and they were NOT like this. they were incredible that night. they jammed and rocked out and improv'd and everything. it was one of the best shows id seen. but their last show was atrocious. i had high hopes, and it was the worst show ive paid money to see in a long time. i like the crows, i wanted to like the show, and being a jam band fan, i am a-ok with changing things up and stretching them up for a live show. but they were just boring and frustrating.
I have to say that he was one of the nicest, most down to earth people I've ever met and it was an experience, and a conversation, that I will never forget.
