Counting Crows/LIVE

Last year at Blossom, Counting Crows reworked some of their biggest hits during a particularly strong set. During “Mr. Jones,” for example, singer Adam Duritz made up lyrics on the spot. Duritz also improvised heavily in “Palisades Park,” and the group sounded sharp on “Rain King,” a folk-y tune driven by a beefy organ riff and Duritz's Van Morrison-inspired vocal delivery. Expect something similar when the band returns to Blossom tonight on a tour dubbed 25 Years and Counting. LIVE will open the show. The '90s hard rock band LIVE, a group led by charismatic singer-guitarist Ed Kowalczyk, reunited a couple of years ago. They'll open the show. (Niesel)
