Sullivan Street - Adam explanation

Song: Sullivan Street
Where: Town Hall, New York City, New York
When: September 18, 2007 (time mark 48:27)

Sullivan Street is a beautiful song off of the August and Everything After album.
For me Sullivan Street is the metaphorical road that I took on the way home after being out with my friends. It was a great time in that it was the first time I experienced youthful freedom. In the calm early morning hours when I would  come home, the mode of this song playing on the radio always seemed to hit the right chords.

From Adam Duritz from a concert at Manchester, England, May 11, 2009

"I was in love with this girl who was far away. I was on tour. 

She was on the other side of the world 

and I hadn’t seen her in a long time 

and she was coming to see me 

and I was at the airport waiting for her 

and I was so in love

and then all the sudden it was like a chunk of my life just evaporated 

and I couldn't remember myself, her, all that time 

I mean I remembered that it happened 

but it was a like a story somebody told me not anything that I felt anything for her

and I knew that meant that it would be over

I didn't know who she was anymore

and these things and you have everything at once

then you throw it all away

and you can’t keep it all in here 

I don’t understand that, it just happens, to me

This time it happened on a beautiful sunny night on the southeastern tip of America

I threw away something that should have never have thrown away

In a city called Miami"

Counting Crows at Chateau St Michelle

We were at the concert at the Chateau St. Michelle winery lat night for the Counting Crows with the Wallflowers. As usual the Crows were awesome! What else was awesome was that we were lucky enough to do a meet and greet with the band as well see their sound check session before the concert.

They were totally cool and stayed around for pictures and signing. The things I got signed by the band:

• The CD Booklet for August and Everything After
• The CD Booklet for Hangingaround single (with the single August and Everything After)

The Wallflowers was first and they played for about 45 minutes. I remember when they used to be headlining shows and we actually saw them when they were at Marymoor several years back. Not a bad opening act. 

The Crows sang an assortment of tracks from all of their albums with a several from their latest album, Underwater Sunshine. Their setlist:

1. Round Here 
2. Untitled (Love Song)  (The Romany Rye cover)
3. Four Days 
4. Hospital (Coby Brown cover)
5. Colorblind 
6. Perfect Blue Buildings 
7. Children in Bloom 
8. Start Again (Teenage Fanclub cover)
9. Omaha 
10. Los Angeles 
11. Mrs. Potter's Lullaby 
12. Mercy 
13. Like Teenage Gravity (Kasey Anderson cover)
14. A Long December 
15. Return of the Grievous Angel  (Gram Parsons cover)
16. I Wish I Was a Girl 
17. A Murder of One 
18. Washington Square  (encore)
19. Hanginaround 
20. Holiday in Spain 

We sat in the general admission area and had lawn chairs to the left of the stage and sat only a few rows back. Unfortunately our seats had people walking past because of the corridor right next to us so we couldn't see the Crows with an unobstructed view, but they sounded great.

So I add Chateau St. Michelle to the list of concerts with the Crows that now include five. I am not going to rank them all as they were all special.
