This band got me into rock and roll at age 13 in early 1994. The first three albums from them are all pretty great, since then it's been hit and miss but a lot of truly great songs they are responsible for.
kinda wish he would sing a song sometimes - or at least part of it. the audience hits more of the familiar melody than AD does. if the musicians on stage with him interpreted the song (played solos the whole time) it would be a hot mess.
I get that some people go to a concert just to hear the radio singles played exactly like they sound on the album, but I love this band because they do change up the songs, either with acoustic versions or alternate lyrics. Regarding the drummer, I still consider Steve Bowman (the original drummer) one of the greatest drummers ever. His work on that first album is phenomenal, but unfortunately they fired him shortly after. Ben Mize, and now Jim Bogios, are great too, but Bowman was in a class of his own
@@thomastoal2892 actually most bands try to sound as much as possible as their album version when they are live. I love Counting Crows and Adam but he makes it nearly impossible to sing along sometimes.
I love all the versions. Most songs are devoid of depth and are probably easy to mimic for 30+ years. There is just so much passion in this song. I'm amazed he still tries to inject new passion into it. ❤️
To me their best song but his live performance of it makes me cringe every time. Sing the damn song, stop acting like the 3rd person reading the lyrics off of a piece of paper.
I’ve never seen one performance of any of their song that sounds anything like the record . You can’t even sing along because the vocal placement isn’t even the spots. So I get the impression when he recorded it , was like well just use whatever complete take comes out . 🤷♂️
@@Bobbroberg yeah, he has said that the 'studio version' is just a capture of what he was feeling on that particular day at that particular time. songs are an evolving thing to him.
You should look to his body language more dude. The song is about very heavy stuff, him singing it the way and interpreting it differently everytime makes it alive. My fav is the 97’ version from across a wire.
I will never stop loving every version this man does of this song . Bro saved my whole life so many times with these different versions ❤
Same, man
August and Everything After is IMO one of the great albums of rock music. One of my favorites for sure.
Thank you for sharing this!
So glad to know they still perform this song live. This is 100% my favorite song ever. Love Adam..
this band will always have a spot in my heart, such an amazing band..

The first three are ‘chasing th sattelites’ ‘this desert life’ and ‘august and everything after’ right?
@@SirQuack-mi9szyeah and they also put out a great livealbum in 97
Wow they evolved their sound so awesome
I love Adam and this is my favorite song. Driving to South Carolina to see them. August 2 2023. I’m a New Yorker and going south I can’t wait.
AMAZING, AMAZING Band
Nice video. I was there. Great show.
It sure was! Glad the rain stopped right as they came on.
Una obra de arte esta melodía....le faltan sus rastas!!
Saw them years ago in Hyde park omg still sound ass good

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My best 90's band..god save the CC
Here is a clear difference between singing a song and interpreting a song.

@@jboling513listen to the damn record lol jeez
@@thomastoal2892 haha. Good point sir. You're correct.
Damn Adam still sounds great!
U don't good 2 'morn'ing U good day 2 its dawn @ heart ❤ 💙 💜
U don't ''morn' the dawn 💞🙏💋
This doesn't sound remotely like the original. Detuned guitars, even. The drummer is off.

oof
I prefer the album version
Then listen to the album this is what a band is all about dude not studio versions
@@thomastoal2892 to each their own dude

@@retromania8269It’s about the feeling, i prefer the 97 live version at chelsea but the new versions always makes me feel the lyrics in a new way.

Dude doesn’t know how to sing or something. So odd he can’t even do the parts. It’s like spoken word but it ruins the song.
Hes trying way too hard to be "unique". People wanna sing along at a concert and hes making that impossible
I didn't know Spence from King if Queens sang
I had to Google that... LMAO!
Sing the song!!!!! The musicians are doing their part, you need to sing. Sounds like you’re talking the whole time!

I mean, he wrote the song. He can perform it however he likes and feels is right.

Its different every time you see them play, he improvises & enjoys himself as he's singing
