Counting Crows playing new songs live

[Heathen]

Sorry, I didn't get much sleep.

[Bammer]

Is there news on a new album release date?

[PryTo]

All I've heard is "this fall." It's done, it's being released by Capitol Records, but it's not coming out until after the current tour.

Sorry, I didn't get much sleep.

You stayed up very, very, very, very late?

[Bammer]

Thanks. I'll have to watch the clips in this thread.

[BigRedLedbetter]

My favorite band. Seeing them in July and can't wait for the new album this fall.

Thanks! I love their version of Start Again. The rare cover that tops the original.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Saw them last night. Great energy and played for about 2 hours which is long for them. Amazing as always. Bummer I didn't hear "Sessions" which they have finally been playing lately.

September 2nd. Loving the new songs.

What were the highlights?

Soundcheck was awesome. They played Catapult but not during the set but still a good version of it.

Opened with Anna Begins which I had not heard live since 2003.

Start Again. Love Teenage Fanclub but the CC version might just be better.

Also a great cover of Like Teenage Gravity by Kasey Anderson. Such an emotional song. I guess he was just sentenced to 4 years in jail.

Omaha of course. Considering it is 5 minutes away from the venue the place went nuts for it.

Blistering version of Murder of One. One of their best live songs in my opinion.

I was very impressed with the crowd too. Lots of super fans and lots of fans who knew deeper tracks like Goodnight LA, Miami, etc.

Toad was fun too.

Two things I really like here.

Holiday in Spain

No Mr. Jones



However I would have liked to see 3-4 more songs.

[BigRedLedbetter]

Of course Sessions was played at a show I wasn't at. Grrrr. Oh well.

Agreed. Nothing against Mr. Jones but doesn't even make my top 50 Crows songs. I hate Hanginaround though.

These set lists are fun. I love them being with a different label.

[Bammer]
