What an album! I have followed their career for so long and when a live album gets released it is then that you realise just how truly talented they are. Not everyone likes "live recorded" albums, but this one is brilliant. The mixture of songs from all their albums to date works really well, some upbeat ones down to the real "deep thought" ones. I especially like "Rain King", they have slowed the beat and made it sound so beautiful. The songs sound so heartfelt and hearing the crowd in the background makes you feel as though you really are there. This is an album that makes you get goosebumps and a real must for Counting Crows fans.

Album Notes
CD contains 1 bonus track. Recorded in Holland during 2003, this 15-song concert set finds Counting Crows revisiting many of the finest tunes from their first decade together, as well as performing one new track, "Hazy," co-penned by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes. The rootsy alt-rock band is clearly at home on stage, giving off an energetic vibe that comes through on songs such as the uplifting "Rain King" and the chiming "Hard Candy." Of course, vocalist Adam Duritz and the group are equally adept at settling into melancholy ballads, including the spare "Holiday in Spain" and the aching "Goodnight Elisabeth." Admirably, with its focus on album tracks rather than singles, the set list only overlaps somewhat with FILMS ABOUT GHOSTS, the Counting Crows retrospective, or their earlier live outing, ACROSS THE WIRE, meaning that there's plenty here for diehard fans to enjoy.
