Whenever i hear this song, im back on a hill called cracks hill in a village in england, watching the sunset on a hot august night, slowly getting as drunk as possible with my closest friends. Having fun. For that reason, it will always be among my top 10 favourite songs. <3 Counting crows.
Why is it so that i absolutely adore Counting Crows and especially this song, but never like any of their live recordings? It just feels like it's missing it's oompf or something. Usually I always prefer live versions, so I wish I'd get why that's not the case with Counting Crows.
@64ccd just go to one of their shows... you'll be converted! camcorders(unlike acoustic amplification) can't pick up low frequencies so it just doesn't sound the same.
If you mean the Miami on New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Festival, then I totally agree; that version is hella fuckin balls to the wall awesome.
Does anyone know if there is video of this song where Adam explains why he wrote the verse about the Last Pioneer Town Bar? He did it when I saw them years ago. He said they drove out to Joshua Tree and there was a burned down bar called Last Pioneer Bar and he wrote the verse lying under the stars that night. Really powerful. Wondering if its recorded anywhere?

Lyrically and musically, this is on par with anything that Bob Dylan or Neil Young ever wrote.

This song will stick with me the rest of my life. This song reminds me of nothing but good memories and it's just a work of art.

"If dreams are like movies , then memories are films about ghosts" - has to be one of the best lines ever written.

That's true. Anyway I did just that and they did this song. Truly epic! Shame there were so many empty seats.

This song is such fun and yet carries some pretty deep emotions, classic Adam, classic Crows...

First time I saw Mrs. Potter's live, long but very good. Not too many bands take risks with long songs now-a-days. Very Grateful Dead-esk!
