Credits

Counting Crows: Live at Soundstage (2009) Character: N/A
Counting Crows perform songs off their fifth studio release, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, a tightly crafted concept album combining emotional highs and lows. The Saturday Nights songs are upbeat, pairing subtle but expressive lyrics with fast-paced, brazen electric guitar; the Sunday Mornings selections have a more reflective, subdued tone. Lead singer Adam Duritz starts the night off right with a raucous version of the CD opener “1492,” then sings of loss in the moody “Washington Square,” accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar. His no-holds-barred emotion also resonates in slower songs like “Le Ballet d'Or” and “When I Dream of Michelangelo.”

Counting Crows: August & Everything after (2011) Character: N/A

The gig was filmed in high definition and is now presented here as the first ever Counting Crows live concert DVD release.
