"Counting Crows in Manchester last night"

Anyone else go? It was absolutely amazing. Duritz cracked me up, which I expected.

"Er, I know most of the band. Except this guy on bass, I don't know who the f**k he is..Pretty good though, right?"

Can't remember the exact list, but they played most of my favourites - Omaha, Hanginaround, Long December, Hard Candy, Miami, American Girls, Rain King...

Mighty impressive gig. Beer could've done with being a bit cheaper, mind. Yes.

Bye now. Wales must beat Ireland. Yes.

It was pretty darn good, not as good as the White Stripes a month ago, but still great. A Long December, Sullivan Street, Hangin around, and Round Here, Murder of One (even though they shoved in lyrics from Raining in Baltimore + I think Have you seen me lately) were particularly good. There was this guy standing next to me begging them to play Monkey, he had a toy monkey stuffed in his pants which he threw at Adam.

Oh and incase you didn't read it anywhere else they are going to be doing a song for Shrek 2 and Adam will be on Nevermind the Buzzcocks on Monday 1st March.

You should try to get to see them live.
A brilliant experience if you are a fan, well worth raiding the piggy bank one day. :-)

Rasta - we should pool our resources. Perhaps we might get there one day. Mind you, nearest they'd get is Birmingham, I suppose, which is still a fair drive.

And you Stef, and you Ant. And I'm sure Allardini will...

*cries*

:-)

Goddamn I hate you all...

I *WILL* get to see them one day. But for the moment I'll console myself with my many bootlegs...

Glad you enjoyed them, Gaz.

Hey they did Round Here for you. :(

Oh well, they made up for it with an awesome Sullivan Street...song of the night by far.

But that song was a cover, and it was the bird singing that did it. Vanessa Carlton or something like that. So it dosn't count. :0)

Yes. I'm sure one of their songs goes "mmmmmmmmmmbopbopbop". Take off two bops and you've got a nicked lyric, my friend.

Which ones.

Surely not Mmmbop.
