Notes: This was my 3rd time seeing Counting Crows and my 2nd time taping them, last time seeing/taping being their Bristol show in 2013, kind of neck and neck as to which show I prefer. That being said the band were on brilliant form for this show, the crowd were incredibly enthusiastic and the band seemed to absolutely love it.

Adam seemed to spend a lot of time during instrumental breaks talking into a wired mic at the back of the stage, I've no idea what the hell he was doing. Both Start Again and Anna Begins, during Anna instead of starting from scratch the band kept playing and Adam just restarted the verse.

Children in Bloom features an extended band only outro which went on for some time as Adam had left the stage to change his T-Shirt.

Lucy Rose opened the show (I've recorded her set too), she and a couple of her band mates came on stage during Hanginaround to provide backing vocals, sharing Dave Bryson's mic, however even on the night they weren't heard through the PA (at least I couldn't hear them)

At one point, I actually can't remember when, I nearly dropped the phone/mic - luckily this doesn't seem to have been picked up on the recording.

I've done no editing, eq'ing or anything at all to this recording (apart from tracking and fades). I'll be honest I wouldn't know where to start. If anyone would like the original WAV file please let me know and I'm sure that can be arranged.
