Counting Crows - Live @ Orange Peel, NC (2009)

One of the most forgotten albums of last year was The Counting Crows' Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings which was most excellent and probably should have been at the top of the best of lists for last year. The songs are original, the sound is what we've come to love, and the songs are deep and reflective. I guess you could say it rivaled the early success of the group. (My friend Jim may beg to differ). All I can say is that this bootleg from 2009, captures the band in an intense show, giving it all they've got at The Orange Peel in lovely Asheville, North Carolina on 12/11/2009. The show was billed as the Pre-Chirstmas Jam and included some quick jams with Warren Hayes (of Gov't Mule fame). This bootleg is thankfully from a radio broadcast, so the sound is clear and the unplugged folk alt rock is at it's core. This two day residency features some rare songs and covers including "With A Little Help From My Friends" and "Girl From The North Country". It also captures the band at another zenith, prior to their tour with Augustana and their fade out to 2010. Now departed from Geffen, we'll see what the future holds for The Counting Crows. I know I heard about sessions at Abbey Road and possibly some Glider solo acts, but I am holding out hope. Big thanks to Mystic Chords of Memory, one of the only truly great music blogs left, independent! Thank you! Part II to be posted real soon!

If you could find the Disney Hall Concert you'd make my day happy.

I found your Disney Hall concert and I will be re-posting it as requested. It may take a day or two, so be patient. Thanks again for the fabulous links! Amazing!

I hope you dug the Disney Concert Hall. It didn't spike any traffic, so maybe just for you. Let me know if you have anything else to share. We can post it up for fans!
