The Counting Crows - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 11-13-2003

Here's another episode of the "PBS Soundstage" TV show. It features the band the Counting Crows, from 2003.

The Counting Crows (technically, just "Counting Crows") burst onto the music scene with their 1993 debut album "August and Everything After." It sold ten million copies worldwide, including seven million in the U.S. Their next album was also very successful. But each succeeding album has lower sales. Their most recent album at the time of this concert, "Hard Candy" in 2002, only went Gold (meaning U.S. sales of half a million). After that album, the band would take a recording break, not releasing another studio album until 2008.

Here's their Wikipedia link, if you want to know more:

I'm not much of a fan of this band. For some reason, I've never enjoyed the vocals of lead singer Adam Duritz. But they certainly are talented and have many good songs. If only I could handle that voice. 

In addition to their own songs, this concert includes a cover of the Grateful Dead song "Friend of the Devil." They didn't put that on any of their studio albums, but they did put it on a "best of" album released in 2003.

The music is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 53 minutes long.

    1. Yes, I do plan on doing something. But I can't make new albums right now, since Photoshop currently isn't working for me, so I can't make cover art. But I hope to fix that soon. I still have lots of albums I've made from before, though.

  2. Saw them at the New Orleans Voodoo Fest on a bill with No Doubt, Sum 41, Macy Gray, and Garbage. Heck of a show, yet you look at Adam Duritz and think "HE dated Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston?"

    1. He did? Wow. He must really be a huge fan of the "Friends" TV show!
