Counting Crows - "Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings" (Geffen): Last time we heard from Counting Crows, the year was 2006 and the band was returning after another long hiatus with the hit song "American Girls" off the critically and commercially acclaimed "Hard Candy. For a band that's been around for almost two decades, "Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings" is only Counting Crows' fifth studio record, but it's one that defines and exhibits all aspects of the Bay Area band.
Counting Crows perform their multi-platinum hits on a double- bill with Top 40 Grammy winners Maroon 5 at Nissan Pavilion tonight (7 p.m.). Maroon 5 is pushing their second album which follows on the heels of their ground shaking debut from 2002 which sold over two million copies. The Legends of Hip Hop tour sets up shop under stars at Pier Six Concert Pavilion on Baltimore's picturesque Inner Harbor tonight (5:30 p.m.). The all killer lineup reunites fast rapper Big Daddy Kane in high top fades and four finger rings with "Bad As (She) Wants to Be" MC Lyte setting up a "Cold Rock a Party." British rapper Slick Rick "the Ruler" rose from the ashes of Wimbledon where he formed a vision that culminated in "La Di Da Di," "Children's Story" and a wealth of flashy bling. Synth-drum driven rhy...
For some music fans, the match of country heartthrob Keith Urban with the jangly folk-rock of Counting Crows might seem like a blend akin to chicken-flavored ice cream. The Urban/Counting Crows marriage was the great booking experiment of Summerfest '09. As it turned out Friday night at the Marcus Amphitheater, even seriously smitten young ladies have a taste for folk-rock as well as hunky Aussie guitar heroes.
Nissan Pavilion offers a double bill with Counting Crows and the Goo Goo Dolls tonight at 7. When you get back home, rent the video "Mirror Mask," which was created by the Jim Henson Co. (creators of The Muppets) around the artwork of Dave McKean, who also did album cover artwork for Counting Crows.
Counting Crows will perform Sept. 20 at The Amphitheater at Clark County. The Amphitheater at Clark County announced Tuesday that Counting Crows will perform at the venue as part of its 2008 season.
The musical landscape is littered with bands that had huge albums in the 1990s only to find themselves unable to repeat their successes. But alt-rockers Counting Crows not only seem to maintain their popularity level since their 1993 debut "August And Everything After" gave them three Top 10 hits and sold more than 5 million copies, they've done it with only one disc of entirely new music in the past eight years - 2002's "Hard Candy." (They released a live disc, "New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall," last year.)
When the Counting Crows play the Maryhill Winery Amphitheater tonight, they won't be lounging in the green room sipping syrah, checking out the view of Mount Hood and waiting for opening act Augustana to finish. So be on time.
Summerfest announced its seventh main stage booking Thursday: a cross-genre show featuring Keith Urban with Counting Crows on June 26 at the Marcus Amphitheater. Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. March 21 at www.ticketmaster.com, (800) 745-3000 and the Marcus Amphitheater box office. There are four ticket tiers: $62 for the red section, $57 for the yellow seats, $47 for bench seats and $27 on the lawn. As with other main stage shows, tickets for the concert will include admission to Summerfest.
Package tours have proved to be quite popular this year as more and more bands seek to share touring costs by traveling together. Country music titans Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum recently packed the Nissan Pavilion, while veteran rock acts Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick sold out a surprising number of venues earlier this summer. There's something different about the Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus & Medicine Show , however, and it's not just the exhausting title. Launched in late June, the national tour features music by Spearhead , Counting Crows and Augustana . Counting Crows may be the most famous of the pack, but the three bands enjoy what amounts to equal billing.
Some old theaters are merely refurbished. Montclair's Wellmont Theatre, restored and reopening Monday with a gala three-show engagement of Counting Crows, was unearthed.
