Underground, underground, underground. We all stay underground. Well not this one.

An elusive proshot counting crows show, this DVD captures the band after their #1
billboard release of “Recovering The Satellites”, their second album. This is from
the days when Duritz was at his rockin’ best, Matt still had long hair and the boys
were still a “rock” band. Recorded at the Blockbuster Pavillion in Devore, CA, Duritz
muses that they are so close to home, and how all his friends have attended the show
specially. He comments that it is “almost like home”, and how after around a year of
touring, he’s ready to do just that – go home. The band are at their absolute sharpest
here, with Dan and Dave B particularly sharp on guitars (remember when Bryson used to
play solo’s??!!). Charlie is in the zone the whole gig, and Matt just does what Matt
does, he kills it. Ben on drums is a great reminder of the driving force that bought
the band from “August” to “Recovering” at the beat of a drum.

The video itself is completely proshot. It is the entire gig, and also includes “A Murder
of One” which has not previously circulated as audio. Part of this video (notably, “Raining
In Baltimore”) has been available for download from annabegins.com and gives special thanks
to “raindv” and “ehud lazine”. I did not get this video from either of these people, but if
they filmed/acquired it somehow, then I do, of course, give them their dues. There are some
parts in the show where the video seems to “speed up”, however nothing ever seems to go
outta sync.

9 years after this was recorded, it has surfaced. A good reminder of how persistent traders
who are not part of “the inner circle” or part of “the underground” can still come up with the goods………..

I guess these shows can’t stay underground forever………
