Summer is coming and many bands are going on tour, which is great. Counting Crows are playing many shows in the UK in May, then some festival dates in the States in the summer. I used to listen to their 1999 album This Desert Life a lot some years ago, but after that just somehow didn’t listen to the band much at all. When I heard of somebody going to the UK shows, I got the inspiration to check them out again. It’s so nice to be listening to them again after many years. Currently their latest studio album is Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings from 2008.

Big Yellow Taxi is a well-known song by Joni Mitchell, covered by Counting Crows among many others. Read the Wikipedia page for more information about the song. The Counting Crows version first appeared as a hidden track on their 2002 album Hard Candy. This is a live version from 2003 at Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands.
