Counting Crows

In November 1997, Counting Crows were riding high on the success of their sophomore album, "Recovering the Satellites," which had released just a month earlier, in October. This album featured hits like "A Long December" and "Angels of the Silences," showcasing the band’s signature blend of introspective lyrics and lyrical rock sound that had captivated fans. The live recording of "Round Here" at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City represents a moment when they were solidifying their place in the music scene. Known for their energetic performances, lead singer Adam Duritz's poignant storytelling resonates with audiences, making it a special event. The MTV 10 Spot performance added to their growing popularity, serving as a formative moment in their career as they transitioned from emerging artists to rock staples.
