Counting Crows Live at Soundstage (2009)

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 fastpaced 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 noholdsbarred emotion also resonates in slower songs like Le Ballet dOr and When I Dream of Michelangelo
