[slipknot7777777]

What a talented pineapple!

[yeanyonk1]

on 0:22 the pianist play wrong song. maybe he forgot the repertoir...

[FooFrenzy]

let's give more credit to Justin Bieber then to all the great bands out there like this one! - Dumbasses -_-

[MrBarrelomonkeys]

nice hair Adam

[bilyah123]

hahaha the pianist fuckin forgot the line up. haha

[003LiLi]

his voice is AMAZING! so clear and just great! and the song is great too! love when the band is having fun on stage, nothing better than that!

[akosialay18]

0:22 the guy said "What song are you playing??"

then they suddenly stopped. EPIC! LOL

[uteanatinny]

'Great version... they make this 'classic' sound unique.

[silentpounce]

they are all so baked

[BriWhoLuvsHorses]

I don't want a live one!

[a389533]

By the way the song the pianist is playing in the beginning is "Steal My Sunshine" by Len.

[xStillDreaming311x]

@a389533

its "Hanginaround"

[a389533]

"Shutup, man!"

hahahahaha

[BigG063]

I don't see why they could not have just gone with that guys mistake. it sounded pretty good.

[00Splurgify00]

hmm...still prefer Joni. Not bad though.

[ZeeGeeH]

what was the name of the song he was playing by mistake

[mczack26]

@ZeeGeeH Hanging Around :)

[mczack26]

The beginning of this always makes me laugh, live though, the drum beat for both is the same...

[SaintMaggot304]

hahahah so funny @ the beginning

[crazylewy2210]

haha the guy at the start started playing the wrong song and had to be handed the line up

[MsBLINK182LOVER]

I love love his voice!!!!!

[shereenp1]

Hi unspokan - you are very very wrong - we are out there, we are quite but we like Joni Mitchell and we are hippies too

[ScubaSteve1974]

I wonder how many trees were put into a museum so that a stage could be built for them to tell us (in song) how we should live our lives?

So how big is that museum in Landgraaf where all the trees are put on display? Is it really big? I bet it's pretty big, huh?

[ezekieloak]

He's starts playing Hangin' Around at the top. All by his lonely old.

[footprintsandsea]

It's timeless...universal and transcends race, geography and even language. Thank you Joni Mitchell.

[myrtle164]

Wrong song----Oops!

[Elizabeth5830]

Awesome earth song.

[HBSTONELIGHT]

Great rendition of this song however it would have been better if the band would have all started on the same song. lol A shout out to the Banning Ranch Defenders! Keep up the good work!

[Thatoneguyfromwalmar]

Adam seems to be really happy when he plays this song, makes me happy too.

[1974Qball]

Awsome...well done!

[Bearswin8584]

he was playing the wrong song haha

[RobsMusicBox]

that was Hilarious!! you see the look on his face when they told him?

[nagytibi95]

yes

[AAscension]

They made a mistake at the beginning?

[Chetta1000]

i just feel so happy when i listen to this song :D :D :D :)

[paythefine]

they look so happy :D

[unspokan]

i think im the only black person that likes this song

[rashaundajones01]

Sorry, I think that you sound silly saying that. You must be the only black person that you know. I am 100 percent Black American. I love this song and many other types of music.

[powerplayers1]

@unspokan make that two. I also like

[indigostp]

@powerplayers1 i say make that at least t(h)ree.

;)

[footprintsandsea]

@unspokan You are not alone. ;-)

[hapekurz]

@unspokan: why that?

[shereenp1]

@unspokan - Wrong, wrong, wrong, very very wrong !!

[jon3m2007]

@unspokan - why u say that?

[bobywade517]

@unspokan hahaha who cares (and yes i did realize that comment was from a year ago) this is real music, all that gangster crap is nothing compared to this kind of music. You need talent to make this kind of music, this is what everyone should be listening to. Rap is talentless music same with hip hop or for the most part everyone has no talent besides really biggie 2pac and a few others the rest like drake, little wayne, kesha all that shit is is just shit.

[SummerTheFuzzy]

@unspokan lol

[larryponcius]

hahaha..i had the same problem..i tot i heard put up a fucking lot..old time..old times

[Cavs278]

i like the orginal music video better

[classof80extant]

There's not much I'm not willin to part with, just to obtain a still of Immer calling Charles a rude name, with the offending Charles looking on...

(caveat) I Love CC - when it comes to songs, change is their middle name; e.g., the OCT08 Wellmont shows: 53 songs in 3 nights, 2 songs repeated (one was accidental)...oh, yeah, it's true.

And, yes, kids, the band has changed up the intro to BYT. It's hasn't changed much for Hangin Around - why change such a dance-mandatory drum beat?

[wokinghigh]

when i was younger 4 ages. i thought he said put up a fucking lot.

[spookyspooked]

yeah me too!! until i saw the lyrics...

[briplun]

wow your english is horrible , "4 ages" ???

[adwastaken]

Charley FTW

[mmbabyxo]

I used to think this was called paint paradise, when I was younger, I also used to think Les Dennis sung this.

I don't know why ...

[Hilikusburton]

I thought it was Ronan Keating!!!

[classof80extant]

that's so cute.

[briplun]

its orgin an old Joni Mitchell song

[andrewsurtees]

was that a last-minute change of setlist?

[Saphia001]

I think the guy at the piano played the wrong song lol :)

[andrewsurtees]

happens to us all, although some of us are playing back rooms in pubs instead of festivals, lol.

Good to know the top pro's make the same mistakes i make, and my bands make

[andrewsurtees]

on the other hand, if all your drum beats are the same, this is likely to happen from time to time

[Emilyfromohio]

Counting Crows is always known for changing up their songs. They never play the same song the same way twice when live. Well, I bet they have, they just forget

[alealemai]

te gusta? a mi me encanta :)

[belfastunited]

pop reggae lol

[classof80extant]

Gotta love this band. Change it up? Sure.

[room1000]

The mistake intro to this was "hanginaround" I think?

[Altoonasuks]

the Counting Crows are doing something right,right?.....This cover of Mitchell's "Yellow Taxi" is excellent...The Point: "Yellow Taxi" is one of those tunes that will never suck & THE cOUNTING cROWS ARE a better band than most these days! Realize it's 2008 & ashanti,rhianna,blink182 is the stuff kids dig..It's not 1969 anymore & that sucks...Top40 pop on radio in '69-70...dylan,stones,beatles,­jimi.,joplin,spoonful,beach boys,who,mama'a,the mersey river scene(herman's hermit's,etc.) must I go on?

[fronczek123]

well you can thank your80's mtv and madonna who is not as great as eveyone likes to think. fact.

[activeG]

70's

[newcutbrad]

blink 182 split up almost 4 years ago, by the way.

[nustada]

Its not much kids like that music, it is just that is what they and their retarded parents are sold.

The big companies are not interested in artists, because good art is intermittent. They like stuff that comes from music factories. Also the degrading a unintelligent nature of it appeals to the purposes the occult organizations that run the world.

[Altoonasuks]

very cool indeed...Countin'Crows........­....the rain king......this a 90's band that gets it! since,2000 popular music has been very vanilla & average at best.

[jeannecitta]

I LOVE HIS HAIR!!!!!!

:-D

[koenigseggccr007]

god, I love the piano intro. Shame it is not the real intro...

[Ronnie6657]

wow NICE!

[AJBD2ZY]

This is such a f=great song. Bob Dylan still does it better though

[ElGoodo]

Bob Dylan? It's a Joni Mitchell song, and I believe Dylan did cover it, but it was released on "Dylan" one of his worst reviewed albums, put together by Columbia to get back at Dylan for leaving.

[bernlin2000]

Lol, they started with "Hanging Around", :-D Oops

[generalleejesse]

but they are good

[damaband41]

lol

[adwastaken]

Everything about this video makes me smile. From the messed up beginning, to just looking at how much fun the bands having on stage

[AtomicBadgerRacer]

They're very good live :)

[rhodalenegdr]

the lead vocalist has a striking resemblance to collin farel

[lintje]

yeah i'm gonna see them at PINKPOP this year :D

[LPchief]

Yeah me too! :D

see ya then ;) :P

[Killyboy666]

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

[yougaybastard]

I LOVE HIS FUCKING HAIR

[99redrain]

i don't know about the hair but the song rocks

[dunnyboyno1]

bolloks joni mitchell the one

[Blacklogo]

For everyone who says they messed up at the beginning: That's what Counting Crows does, intentionally. They'll combine their songs with other people's or other songs of their own. That's just part of their style.

[doorspj24]

they very obviously messed up

[denbod]

i'm afraid to tell you they did mess up!! can you not see immy coming over ti charlie and showing him the set list????? so it wasn't done on purpose

[toxicsluge]

yeah... thats not what they were doing there though!! look. charley played HanginAround instead of Big Yellow Taxi by accident! Do you not see Immy showing Charley the setlist? and then Charley says "they sound alike!" seriously.

[lubagd]

Who is the original writer of this song?

I know that Pinhead Gunpowder plays this song...

If anybody could answer the question...

Thanks!

[gumboot55]

its by joni mitchell, the orig version, she actually wrote it or not i dunno, try wiki

[biggy06605]

Joni Mitchel, she was the original composer of this song.

[appachieappachie]

Joni Mitchell

[imabasketcase88]

the piano fucked up at the start!lol love these guys

[biggy06605]

no actually its because he played the wrong song lmfao pretty funny

[AshburnStadium]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of Veterans Stadium, once the home of the Phillies and Eagles.

"The Vet" opened in April 1971 and was imploded in March 2004.

The site where "The Vet" once stood is now a parking lot for Citizens Bank Park, new home of the Phillies.

[muggymug]

Dude is funky and groovy.

[greenspidey]

Awesome! :)

[muggymug]

Is dude white or black?

[4nj0k1d]

he went to do hanginaround =\ then you can see "stop man" been clearly said :P

[felsner1]

LOL - well, that's live performance for ya... :-)

[mjzua]

hmmm.....he seemed to hesitate a bit at the beginning....I'm thinking he screwed up the tune a little before he got the hang of it.

[docteurmagie]

LOL i think he got the wrong song at the begening

[koenigseggccr007]

the piano solo really rocks!!!!

[4nj0k1d]

wow what a song, i love this song, only song you can listen to which will never die old.
