I am generally a Counting Crows fan, yes, but even I will admit there are certain recordings where lead singer Adam Duritz takes it just a little over the edge into cringe-territory. In his and the band’s defense, both have been through a lot since the days of Mr. Jones (from their first album) and have matured quite a bit. Their live album New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall, however, is truly a culmination of their careers and their musical genius.
