Counting Crows - Live Amsterdam (1994)

This is the Counting Crows live at the Milky Way, Amsterdam, April 14, 1994. This show recorded at Melkweg Amsterdam, Holland is a direct soundboard masterpiece. In 1994 Adam Duritz gave a great show at the Milky Way that really stunned the whole audience. This live tape is from "McCrank's tape" archive, and is a direct transfer to CD-R (it's soundboard baby). I think it sounds amazing , except for some little digital artifacts in the beginning of the show, which hardly subtract from the magic that the Counting Crows provide. Sure you can go on to their new tour site and buy the latest jaded ramblings from a band that has partnered up with Augustana to try their Disney take on alt-country rock, or you could go back to the source and dig the original roots of the Crows. This 1994 show captures them slightly raw, less "star-struck" from the first album release. Live, loose, and original - the band simmers original classics like "Round Here" , "Rain King" and "Mr. Jones" a true college classic. Thrown in for additional measure are a few Counting Crows staples, that are rare singles, mostly performed live and not commerically available. Plug in to McCrank's Juke and take a lesson...
