Sunday night Counting Crows bootleg listening
In honor of a completely amazing evening that I spent yesterday with Adam Duritz (pictured partially above, and no — I haven’t stopped smiling yet), I went back tonight and re-uploaded one of my favorite live recordings ever of Counting Crows.
In August of 1993, they played the new AAA Records & Radio Convention at Boulder’s Fox Theatre. I talked to Adam about it last night and he remembers that show fondly. You can read my story about this show and download the soundboard recording by following the link below, but know I wore this cassette tape out then, and in listening to it again tonight it still holds all that magic in it for me.

Oh! And if you happen to be in NYC this week for CMJ, check out Adam’s three-day, free Outlaw Roadshow, in conjunction with my friend Ryan over at Ryan’s Smashing Life blog! I would go if I could.
Name: Heather Browne
Open invitation to any Fuel / Friends readers in NY or those heading to CMJ, The Outlaw Roadshow is amazing – would love to see you! Details: http://www.theoutlawroadshow.com
And we love Heather!

The new iTunes download was giving me weird errors, so getting this transferred to my library took something in the neighborhood of…hours. But it’s working now. And I downloaded the fall mix today, too. Excited for a mellow fall listening evening, at last!

I was addicted to a bootleg Counting Crows show from Italy, 1994, that I bought on Bleeker Street in NYC for a very long time. I think I’d still have it in my top 10 albums if I was stuck on a desert island. Here is a link with the track list.

Best “Goodnight Elizabeth” I’ve ever heard. There is something so genuine about this show that made me fall in love with these guys. And yet, over almost 20 years, whenever they are in my town, I am not, and I still haven’t seen them live
