1997 counting crows at pinkpop - round here

[adamantxxx]

Top!!  Chills!!

[skategivnkids]

This is more like black pop

[Ru95M]

@skategivnkids dont dare call it 'pop'

[skategivnkids]

@Ru95M I was making a joke. Instead of pinkpop.. blackpop. All the staff members are wearing black and the whole stage is black. There's hardly any pink.

[Ru95M]

@skategivnkids oh rite hahaha sorry man

[skategivnkids]

@Ru95M Lol, it's cool.

[TheSharz97]

I WAS BORN IN 1997

[and1smax]

at last i bought their cds here, fiuh..

[wellcraft57]

Can't watch this and not think this is one of the fucking best real bands out there. Simple, passionate, period. Some may read this and say "was" but see them now and you'll be amazed still.

[cornholio1962]

one of the most emotional performances ive seen since watching bands for 35 years.  i luv this band,,,kev in london

[Brock213]

8 people AIN'T from round here!

[TheNohope1]

I heard one... she lives alone on her private archipelago with her palm trees and her sea shells........... want to find that one again

[1thru99dotcom]

[NowLifeStarts]

Adam Duritz. The most brilliant musician of our time and possibly all time.

[IndieCindie08]

@NowLifeStarts HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[laxsrdude]

whats the song he sings 1/2 way thru. im assuming its another song since one of the girls in the crowd was singing along to it.

[albo30]

@laxsrdude Called "Barely out of Tuesday", Adam taught Courtney Cox how to play piano when they were dating, then he wrote the lyrics for it. Never been released because Adam hates Courtney since they broke up.

[sheri9987]

One of the best - if not the BEST Round Here performances Adam has ever done. I love this one. So so good.

[BRP321]

@sheri9987 I totally agree, this is my favourite one...

[krommen]

Like this one but there is a live version from Paris from the same year and that is the absolute most brilliant version.

[Dromersan]

This was the concert thatI I discover the Counting for the fist time.....I remember it well.....I was toucht, beautiful. While my friends ware talking en lauching I just listen and watch a big tattoo at the arm from the man before me......

One of my most favorites concerts and this is my favorite number :-)

[scudbunny]

damn i literally tear up everytime i hear this song

[Unmauricio]

The best performance of this song

just awesome

[adamantxxx]

The. Most. Underrated. Band. EVER.

[malcolm5wj]

i wouldnt be the person i am today if it werent for this song

[barnabi]

Una de los mejores performances de esta banda, al cambiar la cancion de esta manera.....fue my best song por mucho tiempo y me trae bonitos recuerdos...!!

Lima Peru

[silendt]

Everyone here is so write. counting crows are incredible and this is a fantastic performance, but for the sake of not being redundant, I'll let the twelve year old living inside of me inform you that at 2:23 a grown man defecated himself.

[kane966]

Haha that made me laugh

[assphincter]

@silendt Great post silendt. Posts like yours as well as amazing videos like this are what makes youtube a joy to visit.

[Majorbakstor]

Now THERE is an artist with emotion!!! Duritz can bring all of life into this ten minutes. Simply amazing

[gabiczech]

Makes me memories on this time..

I love it so much.:)

Yes, so much emotions...

[j8key08]

that was an emotional rollercoaster....in a good way

[BRP321]

@j8key08 just can't get enough!!!!

[osian19]

Just realized something. This song encompasses all three bands Duritz was involved in. "Round Here" by the Himalayans, "Barely Out of Tuesday" by Counting Crows, and "Private Archipelago" by Sordid Humor. So that's why he's smiling midway through.

[albo30]

i think thats drawing such a random conclusion. May as well add that he is wearing the same shirt he wore for his first performance with MOd-L Society and THATS why he's smiling..its rediculas, yes the song is made up of those 3 (BOT never released because of its association with Courtney Cox) but smiling because of that is a bit far...Its fantastic song tho

[CindyArpag68]

hes like talking the whole time i would want my money back i love the other version

[assphincter]

If you want the "other" version buy the cd. The best part of seeing the crows in concert is the fact that the songs are never the same. If they were it would be boring.

[roor06]

Angelic ...

I stay up late 2 ...

[osian19]

Best version of their best song. The inclusion of "Barely out of Tuesday" and "Private Archipelago" are brilliant, and how Adam ties them together is perfect.

Did he write "Archipelago" or was that solely Sordid? And does anyone know where to find an original version of it?

[albo30]

Private Achipelago from Sordid humors one and only album "light music for dying people" its the last track.

They're no where close to as good as CC, and adam doesnt sing lead for sordid, only backing The album is so-so. He had involvement in a lot of the songs, but at the end of the day he was only a backing singer so involvement could be minimal. I'm not sure to be honest

[jerryfalwellsociety]

'Don't sound very good live!! (?)

[osian19]

Agreed. They're ten times better live (if that's even possible).

[dragonfitter]

they arnt very good live i saw them live a couple of times and wasnt impressed

[seancoppinger]

WTF are CC playing at? Just tried to share a youtube vid of "round here" to a mate who has never heard of them (a vid I have had in my favourites for ages)... and they've put a fuckin "not availabel in this country" tag on half thier vids.

Shame, I will just have to copy a cd instead of letting my mate buy her own copy and spreading the music.. idiots!

[calitxny1]

Hey, it may not be CC... most likely not, they love for videos to be shared. I've got some that are coming up no longer available as well. It may be the person who posted the video (record label monsters?)... there may be a time limit or some such crap but I really don't believe it's CC.

[celtic302]

In Britain there is a big debate going on between YouTube and the record labels. So for now many videos of bands are unable to be viewed. Nothing to do with the bands. Like most things in this world, it's all about money.

[tangieoh]

I have commented this video before I am sure. I just want to post again and say how much I love this song, and more particularly this version of Round Here. It seems to never be the same. Look at 3:47.. so genuine. I love it.

[toxicsluge]

nice crowd surf at 2:41 lol i have a good eye!

[toxicsluge]

i started crying when i saw right before the alts start when hes just sitting there staring into space and he hears the crowd cheering and says "hey all these ppl are here for me" and a smile just comes to his face. brilliant.,

[tattooedben]

stevenblades

you crossed the line talking about english peoples teeth man.

too far dude too far

[therealdavidhok]

I cant stand this music......I hated it in the 90's and after watching this now I hate it even more..

just my opinion

peace

[toxicsluge]

then why are you watching it if you hate it?

[therealdavidhok]

Dont you ever have a love hate feeling about anything? I love to hate it..sort of thing? I cant explain it.

[mistorpistor]

simply amazing

[kevbhoy05]

he's the ultimate story teller. am in awe how he can turn this personality on and off so easy. just truly magic.

[sheri9987]

if you aren't a crows fan then why in the fuck are you watching a ten min. video, and then taking the amount of time and effort to keep up with excessive blogging. Seriously go find somethin else to do....and best of luck in your #1 country!! o wait that is the USA dumb asshole

[sheri9987]

um...stevenblades? Yes this message is for you and ONLY you. You are the only one on this entire blog that really, really needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP. Every blog you have written is hilarious to me, not because of the pathetic comic effect that you are intending, but just because you are an ignorant asshole. Please, PLEASE go get a life, find a hobby or buy a pet or something...i feel sorry for you.

p.s. SSSHHHHHHHH (because your annoying)...thats the point idiot.

[francofrancofranco]

watch 2008 version... EVEN BETTER... CAN U BELIEVE????

[Pherelis]

The best live performance ever!!!

[HeartPineFurniture]

I totally agree this is just amazing

[jashickey]

this one always gets me...great one.

[toxicsluge]

totally agree!!!! when the show the closeups on the crowd during the alt lyrics one guy is smiling anothers mouth is dropped open lol its amazing

[pgup713]

well, i honestly think this is one of the best live performances ever, but even if you dont agree, you have to admit adam duritz sang awesome in this performance!!!

[stevenblades]

I love these guys but I think that this is the corniest version of this song I have heard to date. I hate when he shushes the crowd, like whats the point of that? I am not leaving any lights on, we are in the midst of an energy crises, lol. I also hate when people sing the words when others are trying to listen, look at the dykes in the crowd singing, more annoying.

[superdupergriz]

steven, you're a fucking moron

[stevenblades]

wow what an insult, I'm a moron for having an opinion on a song. You fucking american, there thats a much worse insult.............your super duper you fucking geek.

[passenger075]

mm, and that`s not an insult??

[stevenblades]

no....... that is an insult alright.

[Jept]

I think you're being pretty prickish. I dont care if i made that word up. I personally think this is one of the most touching and heartfelt perfomances of this song. Looking at Adam's life he was extremely depressed at this time. And TO ME, this is like he's semi-happy for these 10 minutes. And as for the light. Please oh please tell me you're not english becuase frankly that was the crappest joke i've ever heard and i'd be embarrassed by you being the same nation as myself.

[stevenblades]

Look at you analyzing Adam's life as if you know him or something. I don't give a shit what you think, its my opinion which I am entitled to. Crows fans are the worst of any band, can't handle people saying that they are less than perfect.....let me tell you something they are and this version is annoying. Plus I' can't be english, I have nice teeth......."hes semi-happy", what a joke.

[Jept]

at what point did i say you werent entitled to your opinion? =0|

[Arieleopardess]

Calling someone any nationality (race, gender, faith, etc) as an insult is ignorant and intolerant, which is I suspect the insult you're actually trying to pull off here. It doesn't work, and for that, yeah, you are kinda a moron.

I happen to love this version of the song because I love how he weaves in the improvs, but any concert you go to (or at least that I've been at) where the audience knows the songs, there are going to be people in the crowd singing along.

Also, thanks for uploading. :)

[stevenblades]

Shut the fuck up professor, nobody cares about your analyzing of my comments, especially me. Love what you will, being ignorant and intolerant does work in most cases. BTW, you are the moron.

[superdupergriz]

Oh, and steven, you are also a filthy d-bag, you piece of euro trash

[stevenblades]

Euro Trash, who is European Yankee? Actually I would rather call myself European than an American, hows that economy treating you these days bud? Even better, hows your national debt doing there? Smarter president, you must be proud. BTW, I just saw the crows in August, they were horrible.....worst I 've seen.

[blackskullbass]

haha steven i can sort of imagine you sitting at your computer tying this. prbly some fat mother fucker who has animal porn minimzed on his screen. please go back to fucking small furry hamsters instead of commenitng on youtube videos. cause you are not really wanted.

[stevenblades]

haha, what the fuck is haha. Too bad I can't show you how "fat" I am you imbred bastard, guarantee your wife/mother/sister wouldn't mind me stopping by. You know the fact that you mention animal porn out of the blue indicates that its on your mind, you sick fuck. Your comment is almost too insignificant to respond to but I did anyways. Tell your significant other that I am available for house calls, nice pic geek.

[heroinerrorband]

i am yet to see these guys live.Each time they come to ireland it sells out in 5 seconds! But I will see them! I have to

[landscapebe]

You really have to, they are so good...

[shshmz]

"SooooOOOO Awesome. XXX

[andSometimesY]

i think this is their second best performance of "round here" next to the one on the second disc of "Across a Wire" at the ten spot

[pgup713]

best live performance ever

[mikeycayabs]

my favorite line. "WE TALK LIKE LIONS but WE SACRIFICE JUST LIKE LAMBS" damn right.. genius..

[Jerriej]

Yeah, that's got to be one of the best lines ever... It gives me the chills, like all of their songs. They really gave me goose bumps when I saw them on Rock Werchter 3 days ago.

[landscapebe]

jerriej from belgium?

[Jerriej]

Yes :)

[BRP321]

No one can beat this performance...

[persona19]

Boy has Adam ever gotten fat since then.

[godgivemewings]

wow. that right there is absolute musical perfection!

[everythingafter]

amazing

[santogo]

Can't wait to see them at the TWF in Belgium in 4 days on july 3rd ! Yeah.

[pgup713]

best performace ever. all bands play their best at pink pop for some reason

[Jept]

ME THREE! =0]

[tobreakcustom]

One of the greatest performances of all fucking time. Period.

[Jept]

YES YES YES YES YES.

[josemreyes]

Hell Yeah!

[Steel0p]

Might be seein em on sunday. so damn stokd they coming to south africa

[hierwordjetochgekvan]

I just love love love this..

I saw them yesterday live at pinkpop 2008. I really never cry at concerts but when they played round here I could'nt stop

[Arieleopardess]

already five starred and favorited, cannot get away from this song, especially the private archipelago part at the end. Does anyone know where to get a full version of it, on cd or download? I know it's not on any of the cds, I have all of them except the newest.

[thepineapple02]

amazing!!!

see you in hyde park in july!!!!!!! :D

[ooshney]

I woke up wednesday morning, sometime wednesday evening, just looking for a piece of something easy to believe. When you live out on the border of everything and nothing, theres nothing but waking and then dreaming....

[Arieleopardess]

I'm barely out of Tuesday, there's no one to receive me, and nothing is changing, but maybe you could leave a light on, maybe you could leave a light on, for me. Can you see her waiting there, down by the sea? See, I know I know there's a light on, but there's no one there for me. If you see me coming home, just turn me away, cause everybody tries to go back somewhere someday, so just leave a light on for me, so that I can see.

[hfb17]

fucking unbelieveable!

[scudbunny]

they played this in knoxville tennessee in like 2000 but they added the dolphins cry and it was amazing i cried

[Blivetmaker]

HEY, adwas! "Brilliant" is MY word for an outstanding performance like that ;)

Nevermind..this one is just too good for words

[adwastaken]

brilliant! just brilliant! ive got lots of bootlegs of this song but first time ive heard this arrangement. love it. thanks

[Arieleopardess]

Me too, I've heard at least 8 versions of this song, but this is one of my favorites. Just amazing.

[FLEAlol]

i cry, almost every time i hear this song (:

[peteraldenzee]

I was there. Got totally sentimental and cried. That's how good the lyrics are. Respect. This is how you do this kind of song live.

They're back on at pinkpop this year. Too bad i'm missing it.

[savz21]

this is SO good!! cant believe he made more great lyrics. a true performer and artist xxx

[only4midi]

... simply a wonderfull song, with awesome lyrics.

Crows please, come back to Italy!

countingcrowsitalia DOT blogspot DOT com

[frusciante2k6]

Simply brilliant, a great perfomance of one of their greatest songs, Adam is a lyrical genius.

[LaylaRaine13]

how i envy the people in that crowd!!!!

[Dohey]

man for writing extra lyrics like that adam duritz is a legend, cant wait for the new album!

[kavanao]

This song is savage!!!!! different every time Adam plays it live, song is the best song I've seen and heard live, yes I've seen The Crows live, just brilliant...........

[tangieoh]

I love this song, and I love this version of this song. It seems to me that this song, any version of it is poetry. I can feel the lyrics of the song and anytime I am feeling really stressed I will listen to it and let it help me vent my emotions. I love it.

Barnabi- Si! Gracias Counting Crows!

[Blivetmaker]

Yes, this is what music is all about - for me as well

Nice to see somebody else put it into these words

[Williamos37]

Sorry, mijn engels is niet zo goed, dit zijn mijn helden in 3 woorden ge wel dig!

[elmer81]

yeah, sgblack90, i'm sure it's about you....

You arrogant, self-centered son of a bitch.

[motorpsycho12]

I was there!!! My first Pinkpop, I was 15! This definitely was one of my highlights that day!

[sgblack90]

Sometimes I just think this song is about me... it's just exactly how I feel right now.

"and nothing is changing..."

[haytbeth1]

this version sucks! the singing is really annoying, it doesnt retain the emotional ambience that the original and other live performances seem to capture

[moey666]

can i get this version off limewire? download it anywhere?!

[bramble02]

wow

[Joziazachus]

I was there, it was great! :D

[barnabi]

Me acuerdo de esta cancion junto a mi enamorada. Espero pasar el resto de mi vida con ella como esta cancion con nosotros....!!! Gracias Counting Crows

[bored2tears41393]

definitely my favorite song of all time. i think this version is brilliant, don't get me wrong. but i've always felt the climax of the song was "i'm under the gun". and he doesn't sing that part.

god, i've watched this version of the song possibly 20 times and it still gives me goosebumps.

[Dukabor]

I've seen them do this song live...6 times...it's always a little different but always great!

[cannabooze]

This was the first thing i ever heard from Counting Crows.. Im from holland ( where pinkpop is held) so.. i heard it back in 97 at the tv.. I cried the whole song !!

Now. ten years later, i can still cry on this song and turned in to hollands biggest fan.. I have got almost every version of this song.. This is not the best one, but this one has a special bond with me.. best song ever written

[Thejaprules]

ive listen to so many versions of this song and i still think this is the most amazing thing ive ever heard just amazing

[rufus174]

dude, the adlibing!!!!!!!!!!! if you dont like it dont be a fan, the guy is sick. the voice, the music, the song. and thoes boys pulling THAT off, dude if you like the orig over this, well........... get a life.

[bcarrol8]

i like the regular version better

[solitaryblossom]

The people who are saying he should sing it like it is on the record?

I have no idea why you can't understand what an amazing performance that was.

I wish I was there.

[moey666]

can i find this song on limewire, i mean this version, sound or video?

[smokeverbs]

This is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard, thank you!

[corrigan13]

Greatest version ever

[derekrau]

This song got amazing at about 3:30 and beyond. *goosebumps*

[Scott114]

The most amazing this about this song is...... Dan wasn't wearing a hat!

[moey666]

this band fuckign kickass he made my favorite song, 6time better! really this guy is inasane.

[Thejaprules]

This is one of the greatest things ive ever heard i listen to it every day and every day it just is amazing

[ooshney]

great

[jojc1]

yea i must agree he should have sung it like the original, rather than basically telling it like a spoken word story.

[fatcampguitarist]

The song is a story. This is Adam Duritz pouring his heart out through his song. This is his story to tell any way he feels like telling it right then on stage. He's not there to sing just like he did on the recording.

[somemanband24]

wow he screwed this song up, why cant he just sing it right instead of messing it up and telling it like a story?

[docteurmagie]

617

[michelledm7881]

Wow.Got chills.Just amazing.He pours his soul into this song.Love it.

[docteurmagie]

wow i realy like this video

[purpleballoons]

wow..i'm always in awe of this guy. a briliant version of my favourite song! such a great live band.. wish there was an acoustic version of this on here, as im in love with the VH1 storytellers..

[dialamb]

Great performance.I love it!

[rthumanfly]

Check Matt out, (Original bass player) - search: Matt Malley

[Nokmusic]

very sublime, beautifully surprising transition into barely out of tuesday..chills..and then depth..very nice :), thanks for the post

[hvanoorschot]

I love the Frisian Flag in front the stage...

[Ablacklapelevent]

haha dude its not a wig

[justinrogers1]

There is a fly in my drink. I wonder how it got there. Songs are good. Songs are in my drink. Fly..drink...song...Yum

[phillycop5th]

BEST BAND OF ALL-TIME!

[CallHimDiddy]

started off a little bad, why is he talking instead of singing

[Ablacklapelevent]

I love this

[Ablacklapelevent]

Amazing

[diegolinhares]

best song of the best band!!!! ever!!!!

cc rules!

[Warrenkeith1]

They aren one of the BEST!  warren keith

[camelspider99]

crows are good but christ, adam wears a fucking wig. that takes away serious respect.

[kphil2k]

Breathtaking ... My favourite performance ever ..!

[jennylynn2007]

This was by far my favorite Counting Crow video/performance/song ever. Thank you for posting such a moving performance. I was truly appreciated.

[spungemonkey1899]

Wasn't it 2003?

[seanhoeltje]

no this was a 97 performance. still great though

[rocknrollsinger]

the round here performance from 2000 is even better, but i can't find it to stream or download anywhere. it also used to be on youtube. if someone has it, please upload it or send me a freaking email and i will BUY it from you if you have it on DVD.

[Bastianhemmen]

I've got it on MP3.. Perhaps u want it? Or do you have it on MP3 already?

[spungemonkey1899]

Coungintg crows kick so much ass. Most underrated band in the world. This whole show was uploaded once but youtube must've deleted it

[bostoncathy]

This is Kick ass counting crows. The AD that we know to love in a live concert!
