Featured Review

Passion, passion, and more passion. They played for 3 1/2 hours jamming together like they were at your house. These three are soooo real! I have always been a diehard Counting Crows fan, but not I have a new appreciation for the talents of the lead singer of Augustana, as well as Franti, who I never heard of before. All 3 have unique voices and spirit. If they were playing in LA again, I would go tonight.
I wish I could bottle this concert up and pop it open whenever I wanted. The energy was amazing ...also, so cool to see all of the instruments/3 bands on one stage! The small intimate setting of the Greek Theater outside also made this the best show I have ever been to!!

Adam and the counting crows all seem so humble yet so professional
I loved the show and met the band
I'm still on a cloud
Just plain great rock n roll
Adams lyrics also mean something special to him
He sings with such soul

this was the first time that i saw the crows live. i felt like the show was a special event because the band announced that this night was the 13th anniversary of the release of THIS DESERT LIFE. adam then said that they were going to play most of the album. which they did. i left the show feeling as if it was a special night for the band and a special show to have witnessed.

Counting Crows put on an old-fashioned, no-frills rock show and looked like they enjoyed every second on stage.

The set-list consisted of some close to the album renditions and complete reworkings of their most familiar songs. One of the best parts of the show was the complete breakdown in the before the last verse in A Long December. Adam went off-script and began talking to the band and the audience. Adam was having so much fun that he lost his place. The band (and Adam) fell back in sync and the crowd had a very funny "it's only rock and roll" moment.

Most of the songs played were from August and Everything After and Recovering The Satellites, making the crowd sing-a-long a noticeably joyful part of the show. Fortunately, Adam rarely let the crowd sing too many parts of song for him and chose to really show his ability to sing changed words and melodies that improvised some character into familiar songs. A few of the new tracks (all covers) from Underwater Sunshine made an appearance, namely the two Gram Parson penned tracks. They also covered "Mercy" written by their opening act Tender Mercies. Counting Crows made the most of their last concert for 2012 and it looked like they were genuinely having fun on stage.

The opening acts were both quite good. I would definitely see Tender Mercies as a solo bill if they played the greater LA area again. Many of the Counting Crows members played in Tender Mercies, adding some noticeable stage chemistry to the band. They had some really great songs and the singer had the raspy singer-songwriter quality that really paired well with their overall sound. Mean Creek were a little more on the harder side of rock, but both bands complimented the style of Counting Crows' array of sonic territory.

The Grove was a very comfortable venue with a decent bar and (regrettably) moderately high prices.

Favorite moment: I enjoyed the banter between the bandmates, clearly they were having fun. Awesome to see them enjoy what they do!!! Amazing concert!!!! @

Setlist: Wow, they did Mr. Jones and Colorblind which I haven't heard at one of their concerts in awhile. Otherwise, I LOVE their version of Mercy, which they did. Rain King, Recovering the Satellite, Holiday in Spain, Maimi, Long December, Untitled (love song)...so many & different from the night before at the Wiltern. Love they change it up! @

Opening act(s): Mean Creek & Tender Mercies. Both Amazing! Mean Creek opened for them back in April and their sound has evolved. Loved seeing the change in the last 7 months. @

I have such a sweet memory of Counting Crows. Back in 1994 I was in San Francisco with my newborn baby in a gift shop in The Cannery when I heard their music coming over the sound system. I had never heard them before and asked the salesman who the group was. I bought 'August and Everything After' immediately and everytime I'm listening to their music I remember that moment in SF when I first heard their music with my baby girl who is now in college.
This is the first time I have ever seen them live. I got chills when Adam sang 'Anna Begins' and hearing 'Rain King' live should be on your bucket list. Absolutely inspiring. If they tour again next year I will go again to their show. I saw them at the Wiltern in LA and nearly bought another ticket to see them the next night in Anaheim, but decided to wait for next year's tour. Love, love, love them.

Do you ever buy tickets for a concert because there are certain songs from a particular artist that you really enjoy? Do you go to a performance in anticipation of hearing a musical group play a selection that is your favorite? Do you expect a band to sing its most popular single? Yes, of course we do, and in the overwhelming majority of cases, we leave the venue with feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment. Unfortunately, this was not the case in seeing The Counting Crows in Los Angeles.
Inexplicably, the Crows did not perform their most successful song - Mr.Jones. Frankly, the opportunity to hear this song performed live was the only reason for my attendance. Mr.Jones is the one Crows song whose melody and lyrics are known universally. Was this fan expecting too much that the band would belt out its signature song? Disappointment from this omission is so deep that another Crows concert is not in my future.

The band delivered again! They sounded tight, Adam gave a stellar performance, the band has such talented musicians that know how to make a song magical! I also love that they promote other bands and recognize their fellow SF bands i.e. Tender Mercies which also wrote a few songs on the current albun/cd. The Masonic is a rockin venue, and we just had an AWESOME night! Thanks!

My friend and I had a great time, and really enjoyed the venue. We were a little disappointed in the lengthy amount of time we had to wait after Tender Mercies ended, before Counting Crows actually took the stage. I'd also hoped to hear a couple more classics...
