Counting Crows - Mr. Jones Live 2007

[msestheticsgirl]

Pause at 00:12 and tell me that doesn't look like Seth Green.

[PerfectPuree]

"Steve. Show the Counting Crows what a hit song sounds like!!" - Billy Idol

[PerfectPuree]

DRUNK KARAOKE!!

[joeymcnew37209]

Right on! Great song!

[54Offwall]

this sounds like shit

[920audiquattro19]

Drunk karaoke night

[evenenough]

This is pathetic is that singer high or something???

[birdofprey321]

Love it! There song, they can do whatever they want and why not have some fun with it!!

LOVE THIS BAND! <3

[sbattoleporteurlando]

ha sentito troppo grunge... grandissimo!!!! AMO QUANDO UN CANTANTE SE NE SBATTE E CANTA COME CAZZO GLI PARE!

[dodette17]

i cant understand if he is acting...? or singing?

[besamemucho5]

@dodette17 this is the way he always sings....except that this must the one millionth time he sings it so you can imagine how tired of singing this song he must be....i think he is great...he has so much passion when he sings...he actually "performs" the song...

[headofwords]

Duritz, seriously, what a wanker. I have this album and its pretty great, but here it just sounds like he's disrespecting the song, in a kind of "well look what I can do with my voice" kind of way. Yeah, we know you've had to sing it a thousand times, sorry. Those 7million people who bought that album paid for your house and your cars, get over it. Knob.

[gsahrens]

its funny I went to Amsterdam last summer and lots of the dudes down there look like him.. wonder why :)

[gaizka1140]

Well it is a live version . And he looks a little tired . YOU know , the years man .....

[TheYTmagic]

Best song about a penis ever

[charlesgunn2]

Jeez I actually almost like the vocals in this one better.

And a band absolutely should not play their songs exactly like they sound on the records. It requires zero creativity to do that. A live show should be reinvention of the record.

[23273011]

I grow up in the sixties he reminds me of a betnik in a coffee shop so talated....respect man..... 

[23273011]

@23273011 spell check beatnik

[antifascist26]

I love this song its so great!!!!!!!!

[avzeolla]

he changes his songs too much from the versions we are used to ..

[mjordan1998]

This is the definition of "half-assing it"

[WertLake]

This Guy smoke canja !!

[sandythebear]

Soemthing in the 2000's that doesn't make me want to vommit :DDDDDD

praise the Crows! :)))))

[darthk20000]

The melody in this song meshed in with his vocals never fail to lift my spirits.

[crazymary100]

I love studio versions of CC songs but would never pay to see them live, which is why I'm so thankful that my all time favorite band is Pearl Jam and they get it. Thank you for getting it PJ. Thank you, thank you, thank you... for getting it!!!

[chercherchercher]

@crazymary100 then go and watch pearl jam videos and stfu.

[Lauchex]

@chercherchercher But he's right. Don't get me wrong i love CC, but when i pay for a ticket i want to see and hear the things that are the reason why i bought that ticket in the first place. I'm all for creativity and improvisation...but this is too much. In some parts he's just plain talking and in other parts his voice is barely audible.

Peace!

[oltpseed]

yes... he always singes they way he wants.

But is something pretty cool anyways xD

[SweetLeisha1017]

I like the way he sings .."blue and red and black and gray" lol, but I wish he would just sing the song the way it's supposed to be done.... I love Adam but DAMN!!!! Kind of let down by this version...

[haydentylerball]

wow your voice sucks live...let down

[sandythebear]

@haydentylerball Could be alot worse, could be Justin Beaver

[rockhound750]

@sandythebear IT'S BIEBER- DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JESSrobel]

He's drunk!

[AGMarlboro]

love this song for many years and this version is good enough for live performance. the mood is the same.

[unionjack93]

idk what the problem is w/ these people, but as an artist, it gets truly boring when you play something the same way through each time, so give Adam some credit! He's singin' where his muse leads him!

[simosez18]

PLEASE just ONCE in ur life play a studio version of the song its waaaaaaay better than most of the stupid fucked up ways he sings the song nowadays...

[simosez18]

[donatelocharles]

Un beau souvenir de vacance...au PORTUGAL

[Bolzhoden]

This is so borring. Oh my god.

[xXxDANMANxXx]

is he high as shit or something?

[terklen]

please come to sweden

[Superdustmite]

At :32 Adam looks at Dave...."You fucked up"

[androtechon]

that wasnt half as good as the studio version

[20080470]

yo! this is the best version ever !!! really diferent from studio recording !

[sonicwav1]

I love the live versions of all songs, some people don't appreciate the creativity and spontanaeity of live shows, like art. Either you understand it or you don't, find an artist you like and listen to them and be happy! Counting Crows makes me happy.

[BlackIroni]

one of my fav song, even i know maybe max 3 songs from Counting Crows but this performance is bad...

[TheFinalDude]

if anyone who seruiously love counting crows would devenitily get totally fucked up listen to this son of his mom (soinia (;: ) singing

HOLY POOP: ITS THE FINAL DUDE! :o

[robatyde]

That's live music dudes, very different from the studio recording... admittedly it's a little better when you're front row!!

[Darkina85]

why does the singer sing so badly? :(

[agenthelios1]

The singer used to annoy me, I just recently started getting back into the band in 2000.

[brayden88]

you should try sounding like the record (it's better)

[gcmsampaio]

horrivel....

[schlomo951]

this fuc.... singer celeb only his self.

[chicago92100]

he sounds really high

[IThinkIAmCeurr]

Oh man, I love this one. I, personally, think it's a LOT better than the original.

[pararazeze]

O que que o Mendigo do Pâ.. digo do Tom Cavalcanti tá fazendo ali?

[AmbreLite]

I LOVE The Counting Crows....

[faggotball]

Guys, Artists change it up live. Like you wouldn't get bored of playing a 5+ year old song.

[ofershlomi]

WTF? is this version ?@?!!?11!?!?!!?

[munhozmib]

AWESOME! I love what he does with the song. Music is not like mathematics. There is no formula. You can change it, you can vary it. And he can just change the song with his voice.

I really liked it, really loved this version.

[vesterfinans]

hell yeah

[revolutioncrue]

this version SUCKS tis...

[cede1984]

excelente

[Ottongs]

Fantástico!

[mallardh]

This, kids... Is exactly why you should never do drugs.

[clayrvoyant666]

man..this version i so terrible..

[bb1134]

That did kind of suck. But #1 - Thanks for posting the video #2 - still a good song.

[myrtle164]

I'm not sure he's drunk---he just looks exhausted. He comments often in his songs that he never sleeps. If he's really struggling with insomnia this may be the result.

[nicolist]

who can ever sign the song like he does. same song with very different version one to another. you're great!

[Raverzinho]

Lot of improvisation that mess up everything, didn´t like it.

[NateAdkinsBand]

yes but you see, that has always been adam's style. his live performances are always very very different from the original recordings. he spills a lot of emotion into them.

[riclim22]

@Raverzinho Thats part of being an artist... you should try it, maybe you will be somebody !

[diegomi456]

valla morao que me lleva el colega .

[malkav24]

improvisa tanto que se pierde la cancion

[ashleydunen]

i love their imprevising in ths, hes not bored of it, they just change it around live

[jkl0031]

It used to bug the shit out of me but over the past year or so I've become a fan.

[BogsideTrix]

Is it the best version ever? Not even close, but it does prove that even a crappy version of Mr Jones is better than 99.9% of the crap that's coming out of the music industry lately.

[David19J91]

Thank you so much

[vesterfinans]

@BogsideTrix hell yeah

[joel361977]

@BogsideTrix hahahaha!!!

[yasharama]

my mom used to babysit adam, she said his voice was terrible when he was little

[seaniejti]

@yasharama i bet his voice after podgering yer maw his voice was great tadger!!!!! I smell shite!!

[straightedger9]

Great Band!

[shoobie747]

Thats rock'n'roll !!!

[Dukabor]

@shoobie747 Dan gave me....my daughter and son a pic...at the Wellmont....great night!

[Arturohoz]

No son muy buenos en vivo, se emociona mucho el cantante que desentona y se va fuera de tiempo, igual los solos de guitarra, mejor esta la grabación de estudio

[heylookitsmatty]

I dont feel that this is a horrible version.. They've probably played this song a million times..I'm sure he's just bored with it

[Cizcobassman]

esta muy cagado el vocalista, que pena.

[Outcast440]

its be ok if he sang it like the album version just a little bit

[nisantiskyline]

he's off his face.................

[HeartPineFurniture]

Its not my favorite version but still amazing

[roygift]

Lets face it - its a terrible version.

[lukitas19]

gracias x darle esta cancion al mundo!!

saludos desde bs as!!

[mwtillotson]

Usually how idiots handle themselves when they have no real response.

I'll end this conversation, or lack thereof now. You can have your last, cute, meaningless remark if you'd like. I'll only respond if it's worth something, but I'm not holding my breath.

[mwtillotson]

I've replied once before, but it seems lost in YouTube's pathetic comment system.

Considering there are only 42 comments, it's not exactly going to take too long to find yours. Click on "view all 42 comments" then Ctrl+F and type in your name. Can you not use a computer for shit or something?

Your comment was only one month old when I responded. Either way, there's no expiration date on stupidity.

Sarcasm is easy and overused.

[mwtillotson]

This is the dumbest comment ever.

First, the pound sign is irrelevant to the subject at hand.

Secondly, if it was, anyone is perfectly capable of criticizing artists despite their ability to type cuss words.

Thirdly, and most importantly, because I come across this same comment from many different idiots throughout YouTube, you can't judge a piece of music until you've heard it. So, the whole "just don't listen to it" is bullshit and ignorant. How else is he supposed to know if he likes it?

[99redrain]

Great stuff but I wished that he sang some of his songs as they're recorded. AGREE??????

[babyloki]

I love it too..I love to run to his music but perhaps maybe he should not do drugs/alcohol before he performs....I HATE IT...hes not the same!!

[rebakis]

ohh youtube fights.... ha!

love how the band mixes it up for the fans, so they're 'hit' song doesn't always sound the same.

all their live performances are amazing.

when i saw them in Australia, it sent a chill up my spine, they we're so moving.

So much emotion is conveyed in their songs and the way they present it.

love it!

:)

[sebastianudovids]

hijo de puta que manera de asesinar un clasico

saludos

[scslugalum]

I want to be Bob Dylan 2! ; )

[holdthemayo12]

He is to hammered

[fergar1977]

Me gusta la cancion pero el directo es patetico

[absolutecuervo]

his performance was crap

[DRUMMERxGURU]

he wanted him gettinbg  stared bk at him ,.... he done it .. classs tune full.

[sofia2586]

i love this song. listening to it when im down lifts me. i love it

[freakmagicmusic]

First of all thank you Ilumisikitiki and to

NateAdkinsBand. I wasn't criticizing the music only the performance. I love that song. I'm only implying that I've seen it done better.

[Ilumisikitiki]

freakmagicmusic2 you r right this the worst perfomance of Mr. jones and you nateadkinsband go to hell

[abakes4]

im seeing them on monday! i cant wait!

[jimenezarguedas]

buenismo

[freakmagicmusic]

Ok, First off, what the f#ck. Either sing or talk, pick one. This is the worst performances I've ever seen of this song, C'mon do better.

[NateAdkinsBand]

hey freakmagicmusic2. u obviously dont know the counting crows or Adam then. thats his style, and if u dont like it, then dont watch it. But he always does stuff like that live.  I mean seriously, if u expect every artist's live performance to sound exactly the same as the album, then you are horribly, horribly mistaken.

[IrelandInfiniti]

probably gets bored playing/singing the same damn song all the time. Why not make it entertaining for himself...

[northerngl]

well, really missunderstand u guys, I find this vid pretty cool, and adam is awsome, just as usual

[talk2mrjones]

lame vs album

[bacardi198]

not a fan of this live version.

[BenZeN9]

Really? I think it's one of the greatest I've ever seen.

[FatbobUK]

Saw them on Monday shame they did a Acoutsic set again. But still a great Gig.

[Lardothefox]

i can't wait until they come into my town at bayfest this year!

I'll be in my backyard listening to it (the concerts are a few blocks from my house at the park)

I'll be roasting marshmallows and hotdogs on the fire all weekend.. stone temple pilots and kiss are coming too!

[tanner1ie]

Me three! :)

[456crows]

[456crows]

AMAZING!
