I know RBS will be jealous. Anyway, Counting Crows are playing at the Isle of Wight music festival thingy in July, and since that's only about an hour's drive/ferry away, I'm considering going. However, they'd be the only band there worth seeing, and so I'm not sure it's really worth it. If they're crap live, I'd be disappointed, especially since I'm not a major fan. It'd be worth it alone if they played Round Here though :P.
Oh, and if I went, I'd take a dictophone to record it for you lot (RBS) to listen to. (probably mess up though).
Should I go?

The word "barsteward" springs to mind...

They *are* good live. Trust me, I've got a lot of bootlegged shows of theirs and they sound fantastic live.

Not sure whether they'll do that. It's in the set quite often but not always. It'll probably be mostly Hard Candy stuff with older well known ones (Long December, Omaha etc) thrown in.

Pfft. :-)

Yes yes yes yes yes.
I'm going too. The Darkness are playing as well, they rule.
Crows live is fantastic. Believe me. I saw them at Wembley and in Bournemouth, and they are incredible live. Gonna see them at the RAH a week before the Isle Of Wight Fest as well.
Go.
Go go go.

Haha, Isle of Wight must be a very sucky place to live. I live in Romsey... it's close, so you've probably heard of it.
And yes, there's two sites i know of -

and

I know 50 year olds that have have seen 'em. Take that how you like:)
If you like their music then go see them.
Not only are the gigs great but they also do quite a few alternative lyrics for their live gigs.
Always entertaining.

LOL :P
I personally think they're crap, but if you guys like 'em as much as 50-year-old men, then go for it.
But they suck mighty balls.

What are you basing that on? The crap cover of Big Yellow Taxi that they've done or American Girls which was a fantastic song before it was produced. The live versions of that from before the album was released are amazing.
If you want to get opinions of the Crows, then don't base it on two songs from Hard Candy, which is an amazing album but not as good as their first too. Before you start slagging things off, go and listen to Round Here, Mr Jones, A Murder Of One, Recovering the Satellites, Angles of the Silences or A Long December. Maybe then, when you've heard a decent sized chunk of their music, maybe then you can start to slate them.
Now run along and listen to Linkin Park and swear at your mum for making you tidy your room.
