English is not my first language so when I found out about Counting Crows, I was mostly attracted to their melody, Adam Duritz's voice and melancoly. I was hooked. I was able to feel his emotions, his joy, his sadness, through his melody and voice. After a while, growing up and getting better in English, understanding his lyrics just confirmed what I was feeling. I will bring my wife and daughters to CC concert in September in LA. Can't wait to see them for my second time, first in 27 years
Have fun ! He’s amazing brother ! A poet that can sing … you can feel his songs like they are animated .. I get lost in my head and drift off he’s truly an outstanding musician! ❤ Rain King is my favorite … I am a professional musician and play many of his tunes!
I fell in love with this band at 16 when I was going through a period of hella depression. I ended up going to see them a year and a half later. The perpetual sadness in Adams voice really spoke to me. Helluva songwriter.
did you know that Adam also has suffered from depression, which makes sense when listening to his lyrics. nobody can pin point it in a song, the way that Adam does
August & Everything After reminds me of Sophomore year in college. Those were halcyon days. decades pass like strangers you haven't been introduced towards. i miss how the Counting Crows made me feel, so new and fresh and meaningful like clean, satin sheets.
OMG, dude thank you so much, seriously. I am a super fan of CC first 4 albums huge fan. And I have been pining and yearning for more old Crows. Like Anna Begins, Perfect Blue building’s heck the list is a mile long you know what I mean. I read your message and I was like as good as anything they’ve ever done. Hmm , so I listened to it again with an open mind. Holy Cow . Thank you so much I’m smiling from ear to ear.
I've loved CC since 1993 and cant get enough of Adam's lyrics and writing. I love the film that hoes along with the four songs on the EP. I read about this mini four song concert last night or this morning. I cant remember. But had to look it up.
Its hard to change anything California. The sound, the sight, the touch, the taste, the smell. There's no such thing as I can't. I CAN keep going, even though I'm no longer there.
@@cyndizimmerman3628 ya they are one of the only bands where almost every song on every album is fantastic... too bad bands like this are a dying bread these days...
I lost my Grandfather in November 1993. During the height of August and Everything After. Years later CC released Recovering the Satellites. Long Decembers line about the smell of hospitals took me back to 1993 when my Grandfather passed away just a few days before Thanksgiving. A Year later in 1994 was my first trip to the Outer Banks of NC with a group of friends. I fell in love with the ocean down there and the end of Ling December seemed to follow the next thing I did less than a year later after I lost my Grandfather. It's amazing how one song can bring back so many memories. I had been to OC Maryland before. But it was to crowded to truly fall in love with the ocean there.
BRILLIANT. Adam's voice is holding up so well, and his lyricism seems to be a bottomless pit. Also for Immer to carry that Suite (or half of it!) on just an acoustic guitar is no mean feat. What a performance - long live the Crows!
so raw of Adam to show this vulnerable side of him, off with the dreads & facial hair, still a bit over weight, fighting his depression. Thank you Adam for allowing us fans this most intimate moment & in your loft in N. Y. am #1 fan since 1993~
Long December is an under-appreciated classic. Rain King when the whole band plays it live and added in with Springsteen's 'Thunder Road' is incredible. CC
The Tall Grass is uniquely versed and the guitar riff changes halfway through. All these songs sound amazing in this acoustic guitar & piano intimate setting.
Thank you Adam for this video... what an amazing gift! And what a gift to Music you are. You still keep honouring her after all these years with your art, talent and passion. Also love the way you help the emerging setting an example for how the music industry should be. I've discovered you and the Counting Crows in 1994 (I was 14 then) and I have always been a huge fan since. I still remember all the lyrics of the first album by heart ... and English is not even my first language :-) Just a big shout out to you and the band and can't wait to listen to the new album.
Li adoro da sempre. Quando uscì il primo album, ascoltandolo per giorni e giorni , mi sembrava di librarmi in cielo ! Band troppo sottovalutata ! Li amerò sempre , grazie per averci regalato così tante perle ! Grandi musicisti!
CC have retained that perfection in melody , structure and bite in their music since long. A great combination of Van Morrison and The Band . They sound flawless in this acoustic set
Jeez. Good to see you again! Spent most of my late teens/twenties/thirties listening to you. In 1996 my girlfriend bought me a ticket to see Counting Crows in Portsmouth, UK. We loved the show, and we still love a bit of Adam and the gang some 25 years later with our two kids. Lots of love.
Same here, I grew up on the crows. I seen for the first time when I was 5, I’ll be 21 in November. I can’t wait to see them again on the 24th. Last time I seen them was July of 2018.
I have the same shirt. Love-Forever Changes on black. Love the 4 song suite they released this year. Adam and band spoiled us this year. I have the vinyl. I can hear some Who, Springsteen and a bit of the New York Groove. The ep reminds me of the time when fm rock featured long jams and it was all fresh. Nice set here. After years of having it easy as a radio dj, I had to pick items at an amazon facility journeying through four football fields of rows of items packed taller than you...and it was one more day up in the canyon. one more night in hollywood. you got me through it.
What a lovely performance. I am amazed that it's been quite a few years, and Adam's voice sound like it belongs to a 20sth y.o. singer. What kimd of sorcery is this? Loved the setting as well.
Adam looks so different without his longer hair! Same unique and awesome voice and song writing, though. Been a fan since he formed the Himalayans in Baltimore....where I'm from, also.
First off let me say I love the band and this set is amazing. But I can't believe nobody has mentioned the parallels between the beginning of this video and the final scene of the Marky Mark flick Rockstar. It's hilariously uncanny😂

Everything in life just stops for a moment when I hear that voice. Wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I can escape into his story.
Damn. You pretty much captured exactly how I feel but haven’t ever been able to put just right. Much appreciated.
I have always thought the way he tells his story and what he has to say give words to my own that I struggle to articulate
@@billyswartzfager6759 so tru there's a song for all our moments
So, wait you can escape his story? I've been trying to escape his story for months.
@@christopherembree1414 I escape INTO his story :)

Seeing them in a few weeks in Niagara

I love how every song he writes just feels like a continuation of a story that never finishes❤️❤️
Props to the production crew. This sounds unbelievable on headphones

August and Everything After is my favorite album from start to finish ever. From any band. Powerful and emotional. Gets me every time.
Agreed!
yes..
I agree, it's my favorite album ever. Period.
Just sad them in Berkeley. Still recovering. Perfect evening of music. Thanks Adam.
Back where they started. I used to see them around Berkeley just living their lives back in the 80's

The real joy of this set is hearing these two sing together without any other interference...
ADAM DURITZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BOGU za wszystko dziękuję BARDZO
Could listen to this artist, writer, poet all day long
Tall Grass is as good as anything they've ever done, can't get enough of it
Feel the same
I love it, but Elevator Boots is one hell of a song!!
OMG, dude thank you so much, seriously. I am a super fan of CC first 4 albums huge fan. And I have been pining and yearning for more old Crows.

The more I hear Tall Grass the more I love it.
Unquestionably this is of the ilk of the best he has done. Despite the times of unforgiving drought, the lyrical font is far from run dry.
Long December, one of the best songs ever created. Stunning.
A Long December will always stop me in my tracks.

Their song writing, lyrics, and dynamic musicianship is still light years ahead of most bands that have ever existed...
yes! grew up in the 1960's with great music, but decdes later came CC in 1993, been #1 fan since
@@cyndizimmerman3628 ya they are one of the only bands where almost every song on every album is fantastic... too bad bands like this are a dying bread these days...
Just perfect. I will love this band forever. Can't wait to hear them play the new songs with the full band! 🥰
if i had to pick a single to listen to for the rest of my life this would be it, hooked to them scince the late 80s
This band has set the bar for 3 decades.
His voice and lyrics always makes me feel feelings I forgot i could have

Been a fan since I was just a young buck. Love you guys. Completely just blissful to listen to your voice Adam
This is as good as they've ever been.
One of my favorite bands for forever
Same here they are like no other ...
that voice.. man just perfection. thanks for share

Cannot get enough of Tall Grass. After being moved by the music, the lyrics changed me. Freaking genius. Thanks Adam!

What a prime example of taking advantage of the gifts freely given.
He has been honing his magnificent skills. So thrilled with the new music with magical lyrics. Love it. Love Adam. Love Counting Crows.
What a goosebump provoking performance. Everything about it was perfect. I’m so grateful that this showed up on my feed tonight. Thank you.
This is what you get when you have a true poet fronting a band… Still graciously beautiful.
Wonder if anyone now watching this performance would remember the 'AOL Folderite' heydays of his (very!) early career? What a journey it's been! ❤️
His voice is so captivating
Long December is an under-appreciated classic. Rain King when the whole band plays it live and added in with Springsteen's 'Thunder Road' is incredible. CC
Voice of an angel ❤ Knows how to let you know you are never alone 💖🌹
Whoa didn't know this existed until now. Awesome to see they're still amazing.
One of the best shows I have ever seen! No matter what I am going through, I can put CC on and just smile.
Thank you for guiding my ship at times, you’ve written music that my soul has always felt deeply.
Looking and sounding good! Well done. Aging like a fine wine!
I’m absolutely in love with Adam. Counting Crows has gotten me through the worst time in my life.
I wanna be his MARIA 😀😀😀.
I couldn't love this harder if I tried ❤️
Great voice great guitarist, my favourits since 28 years, thanks
I've always picked up right off on playing and singing anything from the Crows but the Tall grass what a beautiful challenge
Any help with Tall Grass chord progressions etc. would be awesome!
The Tall Grass is uniquely versed and the guitar riff changes halfway through. All these songs sound amazing in this acoustic guitar & piano intimate setting.
Counting Crows meant EVERYTHING to me back in the 90s?
Greatest songwriter of all time
Thank you Adam. 🙂 Best wishes.
Adam's voice is sounding so good these days!

Rain King for me 100%, tickets locked In for Glasgow next month.
Seen them live 10 times, 4 times in Glasgow, brilliant live band. Sadly won’t them on this tour.

I just went 👌 WOW!

Counting crows was the first concert I ever went to. kid Rock was there too! Lol it was fun
Adam's gone full dyed Elvis which is challenging but his voice is still magnificent. What a band.
Tellement une superbe voix …
Magical just magical!❤️
This is great!
No puede ser tan buenos estos muchachos....son el significado del DON en persona
Wow! Just... Wow!!!

Great first concert at the Hard Rock Atlantic City. Amazing!
Anyone else super happy to see all the comics on Adam's shelf? Y: The Last Man, Daredevil, etc.
AND ...WOW A SUCH A DIFFERENT LOOK ...ADAM HAS HAD THE SAME LOOK FOR SO LONG I LIKE THE CHANGE UP...
I would love to spend some time with Adam going thru his book collection in background
Thank you
You're welcome
so different from the originals CC & Adam. Yes I see you & u r changing
PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!
this is beautiful!!!!!!!
What a lovely performance. I am amazed that it's been quite a few years, and Adam's voice sound like it belongs to a 20sth y.o. singer. What kimd of sorcery is this? Loved the setting as well.
saw them at Carthage College, Kenosha Wis. a cold blustery evening
Fabulous
Adam looks so different without his longer hair! Same unique and awesome voice and song writing, though. Been a fan since he formed the Himalayans in Baltimore....where I'm from, also.
Sensacional
Fantastic!! Hopefully they’ll come back to Ireland soon 🤞🏻
woow
Aw man,so awesome!Wish I could make the Youngstown show but I don’t think I can get off work that night.
Don’t do drugs and you’ll sound like this when you’re nearing 60
This is so damn good
this excels
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just starting this. Very nervous to hear him without the dreads, but I have high hopes!
💕

Adam when are you going to make a musical?
