I think it would be cool, if they opened up for PJ. I like them alot, and August And Everything After is a GREAT cd, is it not? I also think they were one of the better 90's bands. I didn't get a chance to listen to their newest album.

Perfect Blue Buildings has to be my fav song from them.

    they really went into the shitter after this desert life (had to look it up it's been so long). their first three albums are incredible. got a chance to see them way back on the recovering the satellites tour. now they're horrible adult contemporary bullshit.

    I LOVE The counting crows. All of their albums are great. I am looking for all of their vinyls except RTS, pm me if anyone has some to trade or sell. But yea...they are great.

    The only thing that impresses me about the Counting Crows is the lead singer somehow dated both Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox from friends.

    I'm for it. Just add "live" and collective soul. The triple play tour was a great tour two years ago.

    Crows are not very good live. I have seen them twice. once by choice and once by association. Neither time were any good. Duritz takes a lot of artistic privileges with the songs and they just do not come off right. He is also a jerk. New album has a couple good songs though.

    A great opening band would have been The Gits! Been listening to them alot lately, fabulous music.

    Counting Crows are one of my favourite bands.. I'm a massive fan of every album they've put out, bar none.

    I hear a lot of shit spoken about them and most of it is down to the fact that they've occasionally written 'pop' songs (and we PJ fans are oh-so-sophisticated.. pop is so beneath us, or should I say 'pap', meh he he heh).

    The rest of the criticism is based on Adam Duritz himself, and totally avoids the fact they make music. 'He's got fake dreds so he's a douche.' Clever that.

    Make your own opinions. Don't follow the hype people.

    Sorry, got a bit militant for a second there. ;) On topic, Counting Crows opening for PJ would further weaken my control of my bodily functions.

    Counting Crows are the most boring band I have ever seen live and I find their music terribly dull. If you're going to be a miserable git then at least get angry and passionate about it! Bands like that just make me want to give them a big kick up the arse.

    So, uh, every drug lobotomized musician who's every made a great record, even if was over 10years ago, should get the chance to open for PJ?
    Oh at least Duritz would be preferable to Sleater Kinney I suppose.

    Bring on Ringo Starr, he could play the ghost of Yasser Arafat.

    I love the Crows, but it's an odd combo. I think I wouldn't be satisfied with just an opening set. Saw them years ago on a bill with The Wallflowers and 311. Wish they would tour by themselves and not have outrageous ticket prices. I'll always regret missing their $10 show at the Tower (move from the TLA) back in'93/'94. Must've been something.

    I have heard they are very hit or miss. I've also seen them twice and they were fucking great, both times! :D

    I have also seen them twice and they were brilliant both times.
