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\n\nProduct description\n\nNEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE\n\nReview\n\nThe first disc is a painfully tasteful acoustic performance ... the second disc ... tries awfully hard to rock out but comes off as self-conscious and stiff. -- Entertainment Weekly\n\n[N]ever does the band take the opportunity to stray outside its familiar Dylan- Band-Van Morrison template. This is one serious band. Too serious. -- The Los Angeles Times\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000008USI\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000008USI.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:COUNTING CROWS\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
