Lots of people in the comments seem to suffer from a form of OCD because of Adam's style (which he, by the way, did not change to 'fit in' when Mr. Jones became a popular song). Don't get me wrong- I had to get over it as well, when I was like.. 16. But I did get over it. And I like the idea behind the performance and the style. Hope Adam never changes the way he performs. especially not over a bunch of single-loving- 'ruining a classic' comments on youtube hahahaha
Joni will always be the undisputed and indisputable queen of her song, but that being said I’m a fan of this more flowey version from the counting crows.
For some reason I am in love with this version - the bass & drum groove and not to mention the guitar part ❤️ Cannot believe that so many peeps hate this. Might cause I have such a bad taste of music.
Everyone's roasting him in the comments but this isn't even originally his song, he already changed it quite a bit for the studio version, he's allowed to change it more for the stage
messiahs84 Exactly! He dedicated this song to Joni Mitchell (who is on her deathbed) at the concert in Thunder Bay last week, and then proceeded to butcher the melody
Who cares? That's Joni's version, this is his version. Counting Crows' studio version of this song is WAY different than hers anyway (and she reportedly loves their cover).
Honestly they are my favorite band of all time (and I'm mostly a metal head), I'm 17 and have been listing to them my whole life. I never go see them live (I have the chance tomorrow as they are literally 10 minutes down the road and I'm not working tomorrow either) because Adam always changes their songs live. Maybe other fans like it or he likes to keep it fresh and fun for him to preform all the time but it takes so much away for me.
i love it. and the truth is, once they find a version they "like" (like this one) they usually don't change it after that. basically he states that he didn't "perfect it" yet
Dieses Thema würde wahrscheinlich nicht so beleuchtet werden, hätten die Counting Crows dieses Thema nicht mehr aufgenommen, schließlich ist es ein altes Lied von Joni Mitchell.
I know I’m probably in the minority here, but it always bugs me when singers get bored and completely change it up just to get through it. I never like it. I like the original recording to be more Recognizable.
His fans could have done so much more respecting his performance. 1 they didn't write this song it's a cover. 2 Bob dylan probably disagrees with you 😂
I love the counting crows but I hate it when he sings the songs differently, he's fab but live his vocal melody goes way off far too much, in my opinion it ruins the songs
Untalented, unskilled “musicians” covering a beloved anti-corporate anthem at the Sydney Opera House for an event sponsored by Honda? Ummm more please! I love our very cool and good society!
Love this version
Wow. What a great performances, I like it so much.. Thanks
nice version, missing my childhood days🥺🥺🥺
Thank you .. you guys are GENIUS
Amazing..

They made such a good grocery store hit! Waiting room excellence! Library, elevator, so good!
He looks just like Side Show Bob from the Simpsons !!!

That Welcome to the Machine T-shirt, though!
Colin Farrell looks different
The "Duuuude, weed" version. Awesome! WOOT!!!!!!! Dude, I'm getting a Dell!!!!!!!!!

Then we are 368 people with you having “bad” taste for also enjoying this ;)
And that oohhh bop bop from Vanessa 😅
Love these guys. They're brilliant! Missed the oooooohhh pa pa pa of the girl! 😁
Do you mean Vanessa Carlton?
@@_rogertaylors_car Her backing vocals.
@@rnbsteenstar Yeah, I love her back vocals too lol
Love the cover. Really beautiful. This is horrible.
Bad hair day should never leave the safety of a state of the art recording studio.

Before Vanessa got in on it. Great tune.
You mean Michelle lol.
@@joes.4149 You are correct! Sorry!
Hippy hop hop it op
does Adam Bobby Mcferrin his songs routinely?
be sure to sing the song in a totally different melody than it originally is, to piss off people who love the song :P

@@jonnywishbone17 Reports of her death have been wildly exaggerated.

Don't worry you'll grow out of it
@@ggthewhale no one grows out of the metal. The metal only evolves
He looks like Ron Jeremy
Where is vanessa?
sick version! he had hardtime covering his own song and killed it!
It's not his song, the original is by Joni Mitchel
@@RastaSaiyaman it's their song 🎵....yeah joni Michelle wrote it....
This version is horrible, what an injustice to this germ of a song.

mental note to stay away from live power points ;P
They should go back to the basement for more practice.....,.,.
and where is it vanesa cartlon?

drummer looks like chris martin
Always loved this song but never saw a live performance so I looked it up and clicked this and I’m really really disappointed..
Yeah seriously, like do it one more time, but like… don’t sing it like that
Hhahahhahahahahahahahaha this was so gay Marschal with crazy hair
His hair...
He could have done so much better than this for his fans...
Carlington Mascara damn
His fans could have done so much more respecting his performance.

I love CC but will never see them live. I'll never pay money to watch Duritz totally butcher his classics.
This uni band I seen at the pub, were okay, but they all looked like they were 50. And couldn't keep a beat
yea,it always does seem to go so :'(
He has to be drugged out.. damn what a shame
Joni Mitchell version sounds better
This is so annoying.
Wtf
Is it just me guys or does it sound like he's saying "they paid parabise to put up a parping pot"
the tempo ruins this for me bro :'(

the Counting Crows are the parking lot
God I would hate to see these guys live due to him butchering his own sound always 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Wow, talk about ruining an iconic song. Hey Dan, this completely sucks.
Jesus just sing it normally
I hate this in every way. I hope Joni does too.
This wasnt too bad. He butchers Mr. jones every time tho
This was a terrible performance lmfao
Fake dreads
And that’s how you butcher a song.
this version sucks, they are not even close to Amy Grant. DO not like it at all.😞
mike Carr their recorded version is better. Joni Mitchell is the original singer
Joni Mitchell is the original, not Amy Grant 😂
At least Amy Grant's version stays relatively faithful to Joni Mitchell's original. No-one sings it like Joni tho PS Credit for one verse to Bob Dylan
