counting crows 05/05/03

I started this blog a couple of years ago, and one of my early posts was on the "secret" Counting Crows show in 2003 at the Shim Sham club in New Orleans.

I only posted a couple of the tracks from the show - I think I was just daunted at having to link to 50 different tracks (it was a long, long show), and every now and then when I see the original post I think about how I should put up the rest of the show.

Well here it is! Between 1999 and 2003 Adam Duritz and other members of Counting Crows played a secret show at the Shim Sham Club in New Orleans each May - corresponding with one of the two Jazz Fest weekends.

Always amazing concerts, Adam and Co would slowly but surely get very, very drunk over the course of the shows, playing covers, each one with different friends contributing in some way.

Here's the last Counting Crows Shim Sham show. Enjoy.

I only have heard a few of these - but they are great! Very much enjoying them - thanks.

BtW - the track you have marked Zeppelin's Night Flight is actually an America cover - a song called, "Sister Golden Hair."

Cheers.

Do you have any of the other Shim Sham Club appearances? ... I'm looking for the 5/5/00 set ... In particular, their cover of Townes Van Zandt's Pancho and Lefty ... I can't find it anywhere
