"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.

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. :-)

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.

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.

Gah, the shoving in was done on Round Here, not Murder of One. Silly me.

He said to us that they're finishing off this tour then they're going to take the rest of you year off.

Exact quote:- "I'm going to have to go get a life because I'm a ****ing loser"

And, he said they were going to do that Shrek 2 song in the encore, but they ended up doing Friend Of The Devil instead.

Weren't amazing on Tuesday, lacked energy.

However, Mr Adam Duritz has held my monkey. How many people can say that?

Jebus - I must have been standing next to you! How crazy is that?

If it were any crazier I might start scratching my head and say "Gah?"

And I thought it was fairly amazing considering I hadn't seen them before, got a cool T-Shirt and didn't have to pay for my ticket. Ha.

Wales didn't beat Ireland. They lost. Well, lost is just a word. I'd say beaten into the ground was a better set of words. Well, at least it's snowing and I have Angel Season 4 on the way to console me.

I'm definitely seeing the Crows again next time they come to Blighty. Hell yes.

Just back from seeing them in Glasgow, very excellent show and a much better venue for them than the other ones I have been too.

Great performance and Adam kept going on about how happy he was.
Fantastic stuff.
