Saw them in Madrid in 1994. Absolutely amazing show. Didn't have a ticket but was given one by an American dude walking by with a group of friends simply asking "Hey man, do you want a ticket?". Eternally greatful.
We hadn’t heard Omaha before and misheard the lyrics as “old heart” which We yelled out in ecstacy during the chorus:”Old hea-art, somewhere in the middle of America…” :-)
Still one of the best damn live bands around playing rock and roll. Scarecrow was downright vicious. That kind of energy can't be phoned in. Fuckin' rock and roll.
These songs shiver me , thrill me . So many years later and these songs are so contemporary. Music with soul. One of the best bands in the world forever in history . Duritz is a amzing artist , one of the top 5 in the world , in my opnion .
I was wondering where this concert was as I was watching. The people look so happy. I was like "What American city IS THIS????" Then I saw it was The Netherlands.... then I was like "Of course."
If only the Isle Of Wight crowd were as appreciative as the PinkPop crowd. I felt like i was the only proper fan at Isle Of Wight and I was down the front! I've seen so many live videos of Counting Crows live at Pinkpop it's definitely on the bucket list!
One of the worlds best livebands and one of the worlds best lyricists and a band of amazing mucisians. And i dont care at all for americana. Absolute Legends
Yeah, I love Adam.. and I think it's hilarious how that song is about wishing to become famous, that very song is what made them famous, then Adam hated the song because they became too famous. 😂
I had the privelege to watch them in LA..I was in the front waiting as the crowd was still gathering..Duritz came out and told me "Hi John " :D lol my name is not John but that was a kind greeting from him :D
it's a shame that most of the people who have seen this song performed live can't manage to hang on to the way it makes them feel for more than a day or two afterwards, if they could the world would be a much better place to live
I seen the counting Crowes years back and was very excited about it. Pretty good. I just wish Adam wouldn’t take so many liberties with the way the songs are sung.
I understand what your saying but keep this in mind...do you really want every song to sound exactly like the studio version...why not mix it up a little bit
I understand, Michael. Spice it up! I'm a fan of that. I just didn't feel his 'vibes' went with the music. Slow the band down at least. For example, Have You Seen Me Lately is so fun & then he performed an acoustic which sounds just as great. I just didn't feel like he meshed this one together well. I can not argue with you, Kordax. He is great & beyond talented I just think he could have thought this one through a little more. Like I said, the concert was great, I just personally didn't care too much for the way the song was played out.
Live music separates the real from voice auto tune crap...you can only pull this off if you actually can sing...love this...and the band instamenal..so good
Please dont get me wrong....I love Counting Crows to death! But i really dont like the way he sings on live that is so diferent from the CD...I know that´s his(their) style ...but I think he does it a lot and changes completly the song.... but again thats just me
+Vinícius Buzzero Not just you, bro! I also feel like, I don't know, he is kind of talking away the songs more with all these interjections. The music is forceful, the vocals are kind of revealing a deep routine, bored by having ever sung all these songs a few times too many. I really adore Adam, but…sometimes it just doesn't feel right.
+Vinícius Buzzero With respect guys, I can't understand why you'd want to watch a band live if all they do is a bland, carbon copy version of the studio recording. For me, it's the improvised, soulful changes they make from the originals that make the CC's such an awesome band to see live - particularly the bits they slot into Rain King. The first time I heard Adam sing the first couple of lines of Thunder Road sent shivers up my spine.... and it still does, every time I hear it!
+Codfisher77 Me too! I love how EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE is different. I'd know. I've been to so many! I've been trying to get my hands on a boot from the best show of theirs I've ever seen - HOB Chicago April 24 2011 - because I was brought to sobs from his version of Round Here that night. I never know what song will be my favorite. Another Chicago show "Sullivan Street" was... truly astounding. I had shivers for 10 minutes! Every time Adam does an add-in is amazing for me. My favorite add-in is "I will walk and talk in gardens misty wet with rain" (from Sweet Thing) and then the Thunder Road one of course!
He does it a lot because he's emotionally invested in the performances. Not just going through the motions like a lot of bands. If you want to hear the CD version, listen to the CD! You'll always have those versions. The beauty of Counting Crows live is that you never know what you're going to get it.. it's a new experience every time.
Oh no! I love Counting Crows but I will stick to the CD's and videos. I couldn't even finish this song, Round Here. He talks more than sing. Really disappointed.
You know what Adam...Led Zeppelin got God damn sick and tired of Stairway To Heaven too....but they played and sang it as it was recorded, and as the fans knew it. There's nothing wrong with that. Made you what the fuck you are, and don't forget it. Mr. Jones too. Stop trying to "reinvent" yourself every time you pick up a live mic. Reinvent yourself with new shit, but leave the old stuff that everyone loves alone.
I like the Crows, no way, but I don't like how they reinterpretate their songs every single time when they are on stage. Singing anlong with them is not possible live. And it is a shame how they ruined RAIN KING. There is not a single live version which fits to the originally recorded one. My opinion.
They are a studio band at best. It's hard to play an instrument when your lead singer is totally off key because he's talking and not singing the lyrics. I would of walked out of this shit concert.

You got a miracle…
@@MurphdogMandates my compadre managed to buy a tckt from a scalper and We had the greatest time.

Adam Duritz.. one of the best song writers ever..
Mesmerizing! Simply one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen in my very long life!
Still one of the best damn live bands around playing rock and roll. Scarecrow was downright vicious. That kind of energy can't be phoned in. Fuckin' rock and roll.

28:36 Omaha 50:04 Rain King: For future references. Thanks for uploading. Counting Crows: The ones and only!!!
That Guitar TONEEEEEEEEEEEE.....EPIC!!!! this is a superb live recording!
Best version of rain king yet.
Couldn't agree more.
There's an honesty in Adam's delivery and performance.
One of America's greatest bands.
I was wondering where this concert was as I was watching. The people look so happy. I was like "What American city IS THIS????" Then I saw it was The Netherlands.... then I was like "Of course."
+Shon Pistoll So true!
+Shon Pistoll This Chicagoan would have been the happiest girl in the universe
@Default Name Give me your source, son. Or else, don't sell bullshit
Every concert I have ever been to has been a joyous event. Have you ever been to a concert?
And that settles it. I have always liked The Crows, and they are going to be playing in my backyard here in CA next month. Going.
Hot August Fest coming up!! Aug15th in Baltimore. EXCITED!! Thanks for sharing.
If only the Isle Of Wight crowd were as appreciative as the PinkPop crowd. I felt like i was the only proper fan at Isle Of Wight and I was down the front! I've seen so many live videos of Counting Crows live at Pinkpop it's definitely on the bucket list!
You should definately visit pinkpop! Im 15 and ive been there 3 times now, always had fun and I discover a lot of new bands :-)
i was at this concert and it was amazing :')
Every time i see them do this song it is different. They are so good.
Best version of Round here. Amazing
One of the worlds best livebands and one of the worlds best lyricists and a band of amazing mucisians. And i dont care at all for americana. Absolute Legends
The world is better place for this song, and this band being in it.
0:55 yep that overly happy kid is me :)
So lucky!!
Good on ya. Hope you are well and still hold on to that joy in life at least every now and again.
I just love this band.
Still living and loving them.❤❤❤2023
Great show,one of their finest live performances imo.
Mr Jones and me,my pick me up happy song of all time
Yeah, I love Adam.. and I think it's hilarious how that song is about wishing to become famous, that very song is what made them famous, then Adam hated the song because they became too famous. 😂
I had the privelege to watch them in LA..I was in the front waiting as the crowd was still gathering..Duritz came out and told me "Hi John " :D lol my name is not John but that was a kind greeting from him :D
Thanks for posting this mate, great.
This video Is Magical. Adam for President
it's a shame that most of the people who have seen this song performed live can't manage to hang on to the way it makes them feel for more than a day or two afterwards, if they could the world would be a much better place to live
Maybe they do...& it's the people who have not heard this song performed live that are the problem?
Scarecrow is such a great song, especially live.
Dan's guitar at 4.20 - awesome
This is why they are one of the best live bands in the world. Round here is a great song.
love em - hope to see seattle in september '15
Love it♥
A true wordsmith!
Ouvindo todos sucessos em João Pessoa-PB., Brasil
increíble concierto mucha gente, yo desde costa rica escucho counting crows!
Great show, but this is definitely not from 2015. Steve Bowman is on drums here and he left the band loooooong before 2015.
One of my favorite bands ever, but damn Adam, you gotta get control of that mop bruh.
I thought I heard him say he wanted his hair like that so it would look like the mane of a lion. 😂
Great!
This is an album band. I'm glad I saw this instead. I'd hate to pay big money to see Adam scat through his anthems.
If you wanted to hear the songs exactly how they are on the album.. well you could just stay home and listen to the album. 😝
Miami rocks best song of the set
yep, had to go find a live version for my playlist while driving. awesome version!
YEAY!!!! PINKPOOP!!!
Hammer !!!!!!!!!!
Anna begins!
Adam the poet.
I seen the counting Crowes years back and was very excited about it. Pretty good. I just wish Adam wouldn’t take so many liberties with the way the songs are sung.
Bom demais. (Brazil)
buenos recuerdos 🤘
I feel bad for the cameramen trying to get candid shots of the crowd actually watching the band and not themselves on the monitors.
I saw myself like 15 times lmao
Isso sim é muito som!
Considering Mr. Jones is one of their biggest hits, it's unfortunate that he really butchered it. But great concert overall.
I understand what your saying but keep this in mind...do you really want every song to sound exactly like the studio version...why not mix it up a little bit
Some of his best material is what he does on the fly.
I understand, Michael. Spice it up! I'm a fan of that. I just didn't feel his 'vibes' went with the music. Slow the band down at least. For example, Have You Seen Me Lately is so fun & then he performed an acoustic which sounds just as great. I just didn't feel like he meshed this one together well. I can not argue with you, Kordax.

Like I said, the concert was great, I just personally didn't care too much for the way the song was played out.
Just saw them live last night in AZ and 90% of the songs I loved, but where 100% different! Sorry but no thanks!
Have you never seen a live show??
Oh Susanna!
The girl in the thumbnail picture is at 22:42 just fyi
Live music separates the real from voice auto tune crap...you can only pull this off if you actually can sing...love this...and the band instamenal..so good
Лучшие
The people to beer tent ratio is sucking big time...
If it's BYOB then cool😁
If Counting Crows taught you everything you know about making music, you're fucked.
Man there’s all of really hot girls in the Netherlands, I’m gonna have to go thre when I go to Germany this spring
Y can’t u TH-cam and talk on the phone?
he looks like that rasta cat they found these days, dont him? hahaaha
Bloff is right: they're the same:great Adam: where's Eve ?
T bone Burnett, know who that is ? 😁
36:18 Miami
All I can think is none of those kids know he's wearing a wig
+SuperUrsusmaritimus not a wig, extensions
Well... now it’s shaved 🪒
At the very end of his into, Frank Turner morphs into a twelve year old girl.
at least that's all he's doing with her for a change
No accidentally in love ?
This is a 'text band' With feeling and empathy Not to be found round here anymore
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Counting Crows...but I wish he would just preform the songs normally.
Love it ad libbed
Sophia Elizabeth this is normally listen to the recording of u want the normal version
Same
you probably dont know just how boring it is to sing the same songs over n over again for years...
He did pre-form them. Now they have evolved :)
Please dont get me wrong....I love Counting Crows to death! But i really dont like the way he sings on live that is so diferent from the CD...I know that´s his(their) style ...but I think he does it a lot and changes completly the song.... but again thats just me

Melissa Senger so lucky! Counting crows give me shivers too few bands can do that with me

I mean, you've posted this comment about 27 times now so I can't fault you for practising what you preach
I find this performance terrible, to be honest.
mattwv35 stfu to be honest
They were terrible when I saw then in 2015

Judge Sauter listen to a fucking CD then.... or shut up and enjoy the artistry
@@michaelmitchell1666 thanks for the Respekt you are showing here
They are a studio band at best. It's hard to play an instrument when your lead singer is totally off key because he's talking and not singing the lyrics. I would of walked out of this shit concert.
