Across A Wire: Live In New York City

Too much too soon is the m.o. of so many bands who, thanks to the fleeting fame that accompanies music-video breakthroughs, are famous before their time and has-beens five minutes later. You could be excused for thinking that's the case with Counting Crows, darlings of both MTV and VH1, who here release a double concert CD after only two studio albums. But you'd be wrong. The set, an acoustic disc recorded for VH1's Storytellers and an electric one from MTV's Live from the 10 Spot, proves how well the oft-bootlegged Crows have earned their reputation as a smoking live band. It also shows how elastic their rambling and evocative songs can be, some of which appear on both discs but in vastly different arrangements. People may tire of vocalist Adam Duritz's perpetually-wounded-soldier-of-love act, but this is one band whose success was hard-won and is richly deserved. --Daniel Durchholz more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-23-2007; What a wonderful live experience!; This is one of the best live albums I've ever purchased and I think every one who likes pop/rock like Counting Crows should get themselves a copy, because the band's perfomance is extraordinary good - both of the performances!It's a...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-23-2007; If you want the orginal recorded music by that instead!; I wasn't a huge fan of the live music. Too many audience noise to drown out the otherwise amazing music. The audio never feels authentic to me. The VH1 disk is worth the money and then some. But beware. If you are a person that only...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-08-2006; Great live music from the Counting Crows; Normally I am a total purist when it comes to concerts. I like the songs to sound the way they do on the CD, and I don't like surprises. But after seeing Counting Crows live this summer for the first time, I was amazed. It didn't matter...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-24-2006; Best album of CC besides August and Everything After; Live music from Counting Crows! I somehow only just found this CD after being a CC fan since 1994. The energy of this performance is exhilarating. Adam Duritz is still raw, a trait I love and miss, since I think the rawness of his...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-17-2004; Pretty Good; I really enjoy most of the Countig Crow's album, but this one's a little different. Since it's live, the songs are a little more slow, which makes some of them sound more depressing. Don't et me wrong though, it's still good. My brother...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-09-2003; Across a very long, tedious and boring wire; It is said that the Counting Crows are mainly a 'live' band, and that their studio albums do not do homage to their genious. I firmly belive that whether live or rehersed, these guys just have way to many limitations to really blow...; read full review | report as inappropriate
