Acey68	In Tampa, Counting Crows plays naked, celebratory, set and honors Robbie Robertson, too By Ray Roa on Thu, Aug 10, 2023 Adam Duritz doesn't mince words. “Thank you so much, seriously,” he told Tampa fans last Wednesday night after Counting Crows’ set-closer. “See you in a few minutes.” That the 59-year-old songwriter didn’t hide his band’s intention to come back for an encore is no surprise. Since becoming a veritable overnight sensation in 1994, Counting Crows’ hasn’t held anything back on its rootsy, emotional rock and roll that is a window into Durtiz’s psyche. The lyrics have been described as morose, but more than that, they are a vivid re-telling and re-imagining of the world the way he sees and experiences life, and the love between his friends, and, yes, lovers. For what looked like no more than 10,000 fans in Tampa—the lawn was closed at MidFlorida Credit Union—Duritz predictably didn’t hide what the songs meant to him. He seemed to be looking for signs of life in the Crows’ ubiquitous, perhaps overplayed, hit single “Mr. Jones,” where he toyed with the key and traded the song’s familiar melodic verses for a more-or-less spoken word scat. And if fans didn’t like it, maybe they could take a note from “Omaha”—tweaked verses, again, but with mostly intact choruses on Wednesday—and get their money back at the door. Elsewhere in the 19-song, two-hour set, Duritz was as every bit as animated as the dramatic lyrics on songs like “Come Around” ("I'm one of a million pieces fallen on the ground. It's one of the reasons when we say goodbye"). Watching him lit by just a spotlight, and accompanied initially by piano alone, on “Colorblind” felt like witnessing a solo monologue in a tiny theater. And he was also straightforward when explaining the meaning behind songs. “This is a song about home. When you're in band and you're always leaving it, and sometimes your coming back to it,” he said before a run through “Washington Square.” On that one, lifelong Crow Charlie Gillingham used harmonica to add extra gravity to the way Duritz sings about miles on a latitude line (“I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley… But I loved like a fountain and it left me with nothing. Just memories of walking through Washington Square”). He soaked in the music by sitting in the shadows during Gillingham’s piano parts on “Children In Bloom,” and reveled in big, beautiful, clear-as-a-bell harmonies on “Palisades Park.” Those stacked vocals also marked a cover of Teenage Fan Club’s “Underwater Sunshine,” a tune Counting Crows plays at least once a day on tour during soundcheck and sometimes twice when it makes it to the set. “This song gets me up to play music every day,” he said. Durtiz—bravely dressed in a black Canadian tuxedo on the hot Florida night—even deadpanned a quip about the weather. “It's, uh , hot. It's cool, but it's, yeah, it's fine,’” he said as a man in the crowd pressed a cold Black Cherry Bud Light Seltzer on his face. The levity was a nice touch, especially on a day that Durtiz described as particularly hard. The Band is clearly a huge influence on Counting Crows, and Durtitz told a story about how Robbie Robertson helped him out of a rut by suggesting the group record its album at a house instead of an intimidating recording studio. He explained how Robertson once vouched for the band when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needed someone to fill in for Van Morrison. Hours before Counting Crows took the stage in Tampa, Robertson died at his home just miles away from the Los Angeles neighborhoods depicted in so many of Durtiz’s lyrics. “If I Could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel Is Dead)” was written for the Band’s late pianist and singer, but Duritz told Tampa fans that, “tonight, we’re thinking about Robbie.” In a lot of ways, so much of the Counting Crows songbook gives listeners just that: space to think, and just exist alongside’ naked, beautiful lyrics, and find a sliver of resolve. On set-closer “A Long December,” Duritz’s banging on the piano effortlessly gave life to the hit single from Counting Crows’ sophomore album. He delivered another one of his simple, straight-to-the-point metaphors (“the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls”) and then offered another vivid picture in his hopeful lyric, “All at once, you look across a crowded room to see the way that light attaches to a girl.” In describing the set from opening band Dashboard Confessional (fronted by one of Duritz’ best friends, Florida’s King of Emo Chris Carrabba), the Counting Crows frontman called his tourmate's project one of his favorite bands, adding that he’s always drawn to music that just makes him feel something—he's always looking for an emotion to celebrate. Last Wednesday night, Duritz gave fans a chance to do that, too.	Counting Crows / Dashboard Confessional	Aug 13, 2023
