and the caravan has all my friends... they will stay with me until the end...

Absolutely great cover of a good ole tune...

... and yes the crows are legendary regardless of what decade they started in...

I love it too...but no way is this better than Van's version! Adam would laugh his ass off if you told him that :)

[Burncourtable]

Wow this is pretty bad but it is a hard song to cover and hit those high notes. He needed to tear into it more

[calairey22]

love this - I play it on my guitar, but I do Adam's version, not Van's. Thanks for posting it. x

People should chill over this, it's more an homage to Van Morrison than anything else, it's not like they are out trying to make money out of it, they just slotted it into a few live shows because they like the song

@HennessyMUES06 Must you be such an anal-retentive purist all the time?? Most of the crowd had never heard that song before, for the crime of being born too late. Of COURSE no one can do it like "The Man". But you must allow one the opportunity for interpretation!! Sometimes things turn out quite nicely. Ever heard SR-71 do "In Your Eyes"? I had just seen Peter do it live with his New Blood Orchestra and it was nice. I like this snappy version! I hope it it catches on with the kids. Positive!!

I like both Van Morrison and Counting Crows, so this was fun for me hearing their interpretation of a great song. It's not Van Morrison, but nobody clicks on a Counting Crows video expecting to hear Van Morrison right? It's Adam kicking it in Adam's style which is cool with me. Thanks for uploading this!

Nothing beats Van the man. Respectable cover, but he should not have tried to sing it like Van does. I like Counting Crows, but he doesn't have the range of voice Van does...shoulda done something more suited to his voice.

[HennessyMUES06]

This is GOD-AWFUL. Adam should be smothered with a pillow. This is an absolute disgrace. This should be illegal. At least, at the very least, it's immoral.

To anyone who thinks that this version isn't as good as Van Morrison's...you're right. But can Van Morrison play Mr. Jones or Long December as good as CC?

@maryebell

I agree with you, this isn't too shabby, I really like Counting Crows, but nothing beats Van the man at his own song.
