Counting Crows Album: “New Amsterdam Live at Heineken Music Hall”

Description :

Bonus Track <p>Counting Crows: Matt Malley (vocals, piano, bass guitar); Adam Duritz (vocals); David Bryson, David Immergluck, Dani Vickery (guitar); Charles Gillingham (keyboards); Millard Powers (bass guitar); Jim Bogios (drums). <p>Recording information: 2003/02/06. <p>Recorded in Holland during 2003, this 15-song concert set finds Counting Crows revisiting many of the finest tunes from their first decade together, as well as performing one new track, "Hazy," co-penned by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes. The rootsy alt-rock band is clearly at home on stage, giving off an energetic vibe that comes through on songs such as the uplifting "Rain King" and the chiming "Hard Candy." Of course, vocalist Adam Duritz and the group are equally adept at settling into melancholy ballads, including the spare "Holiday in Spain" and the aching "Goodnight Elisabeth." Admirably, with its focus on album tracks rather than singles, the set list only overlaps somewhat with FILMS ABOUT GHOSTS, the Counting Crows retrospective, or their earlier live outing, ACROSS THE WIRE, meaning that there's plenty here for diehard fans to enjoy.
