Counting Crows performs songs from their fifth studio release, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings , a tightly crafted concept album that’s the perfect combination of high and low.

In this SOUNDSTAGE set, Counting Crows performs the majority of their fifth studio release, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings , a tightly crafted concept album that's the perfect combination of high and low. The Saturday Nights songs are upbeat, pairing subtle but expressive lyrics with fast-paced, brazen electric guitar; the Sunday Mornings selections have a more reflective, subdued tone. An energized Adam Duritz starts the night off right with a raucous version of the CD opener "1492." He sings of loss in the moody "Washington Square," accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar. His no-holds-barred emotion also resonates in slower songs like "Le Ballet d'Or" and "When I Dream of Michelangelo." Other must-sees include "Los Angeles" and "Cowboys."
