Counting Crows & Augustana: The Counting Crows, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Augustana have been touring the country together performing one long set with a rotating cast of musicians onstage. I believe this version features members of Counting Crows & Augustana but no Spearhead folks, but I could be wrong. Source: 8-28-2009

Not exactly a coincidence that both this week’s and last week’s Cover Wars are selections off of albums that are still in the running for performance at Festival 8. Here’s a question for those that were at the show: why does the crowd let out an audible yelp as the band starts to wrap up the song? Seems like something must have happened…lights, someone on stage, anyone know what that’s all about? Source: 9-26-1999

All seven contestants received votes (love it when that happens) and The Bad Plus and Seu Jorge share second place honors.

The crowd cheer near the end of Sweet Virginia at UNO was for a bird (a seagull I think) that landed on mic stand near Trey’s stack. It was a surreal moment. The crowd’s cheering prompted the bird to fly back up into the arena’s rafters.
Matlock – thanks so much! Was hoping someone could shed some light on that one.
VVVV That’s so awesome…
you are correct- no spearhead on CC/Augustana, but it’s also w/Emmy Rossum on vocals, at least at the Summeratge version: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=528065
