Counting Crows Cover “Friend of the Devil” on the Howard Stern Show (2008)

[@iforget8716]

As soon as Adam Duritz starts singing my blues melt away

[@bx22able]

Duritz has the ability to convey emotion with his voice more than most others.

[@DarrenPriest73]

Adam Duritz certainly has an unmistakable voice.

[@artiemulford8445]

My personal favorite Stern musical moment ever. Heard this live & it blew my mind

[@stevemoran2008]

Holy Shit!!! I've listened to this before but I'm just realizing Adam is wearing a sweatshirt from my high school. That's awesome! MSC Class of '95

[@shagadelic4210]

Oh Mann it gave me chills when all their voices harmonized😳😳😳

[@timhorpo]

As a full on deadhead, this is really really good

[@uberglamazon]

After all these years these guys play and Adam sings...I melt...every time.

[@JubeProductions]

That was, as Artie says, FANTASTIC! He sings with so much emotion you feel like you're living the song.

[@brianvice1144]

RIP Robert Hunter. Genius Americana lyrics.

[@DirtyxDelmonico]

Brian Vice most of these clowns have no idea who he even is. Respect

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

My guy ain't never changed his style! Makes everything his own..

[@quinndawsonosgood5261]

Jerry and Robert would both love this cover. Well done

[@EPelcher]

This is absolutely my favorite performance ever, they’re amazing

[@bknsty14]

Can’t wait to be able to see them live again

[@erikb8838]

This is my all-time favorite song.

[@LeonardSmalls]

Singer can make anything sound like his own.

[@huntconn]

Gorgeous. Wonderful song and rendition

[@miketodd185]

WoW.... I’ve seen this Live at a Dead show... This is an amazing cover of this song... I bet the band and Jerry would Love this as well.... Plus I love this band as well... Counting Crows are just Amazing to the ears... xoxoxox

[@iW34Rglasses00]

One of my favorite songs and they killed it. Good job.

[@ehwhynot6126]

Surprisingly fantastic rendition

[@scaletipping4715]

The fact that Howard pulls this type of stuff out of people.

[@ryanpatrickwhite97]

BEST VOICE I'VE EVER FUCKING HEARD IN MY MANY LIVES, YESSS BOYS! still gots it

[@JB-hp6up]

The 90s were such an underated time in music especially after the fick show that was the 80s, these guys are a good example of that, don't get me wrong, I love me some 80s, but had something different, the end of rock maybe, maybe that's why it was special

[@brianzegar7407]

I feel embarrassed that I have not been exposed to this song until recently and this is an amazing rendition

[@rsmyth75]

Heard this listening to Howard so impressed.

[@chrisschell90]

RIP Robert Hunter and JG

[@Gibson1961SG]

I hope they post their performance of "Round Here." Ive only heard the audio (thats all I can find of it on the internet unfortunately), and would love to see his face during such an emotional performance.

[@kellscartman8219]

Jerry would have been very happy. That was a great performance

[@jungleforeva]

Kells Cartman True

[@charleshowlett1291]

[@issacsteakin9204]

I lit up from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep that night Till the morning came around Set out running but I'll take my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight I ran into the Devil, babe He loaned me twenty bills I spent that night in Utah In a cave up in the hills I set out running but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight I ran down to the levee But the Devil caught me there He took my twenty dollar bill And he vanished in the air I set out running but I take my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight Got two reasons why I cry Away each lonely night The first one's named sweet Anne Marie And she's my heart's delight Second one is prison, baby The sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail Got a wife in Chino, babe And one in Cherokee First one says she's got my child But it don't look like me I set out running but I take my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight Got two reasons why I cry Away each lonely night The first one's named sweet Anne Marie And she's my heart's delight Second one is prison, baby The sheriff's on my trail And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail Got a wife in Chino, babe The one in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child But it don't look like me I set out running but I took my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jerome J.

August and everything after is a great album

[@denisemariebensusan6121]

FUCKING FANTASTIC

[@anthonykaitis5026]

Nothing matches these guys live, little else is like it.

[@optimisticzebra8498]

I liked this

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Oh this is from 2008! I knew Adam cut his hair this year....

[@taijazvidfish]

Great stuff!

[@riffism]

Adam is pretty inconsistent with his live vocals, but this was a perfect representation of his studio voice during the band's peak. Brilliant.

[@ytherenounicorns5077]

brilliant.

[@vette-4-life]

❤️

[@9tailskyle]

Mt st Charles is woonsocket Rhode Island? What's his connection here?

[@jeep1070]

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Is that the original lead sing for Counting Crowe’s?

[@kenpower]

Fire

[@madjokermarlborough4537]

Much love I love this music yeah u know the devil 1000 years punishment that's long gone so who's in control now let me make friends with the dark angel.hi from England

[@Bluelightcheaphotel]

That Collings was lovely, the Santa Cruz needed a little tuning 😆

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

This was a good version of that song.

[@meenjogreen]

It sounds exactly what it was counting crows

[@jakemarlow8998]

That was better than the original. And it's nice to see they have awesome taste in guitars (Santa Cruz and Collings).

[@alansommer]

They should put that into the next project.

[@sneakernickel]

"Would that make you happy?" haha

[@barrywatters7181]

I'm confused this is from a 2008 performance but is also on their greatest hits Films about Ghosts from 2003

[@lewisengr]

These guys are so good they make a Grateful Dead song sound good.

[@Hopper_House]

Sounds like a Counting Crows song

[@officerlittle]

Adams voice is a friend to me if that makes sense.

[@averagejoe4932]

Robin lookin good🤤

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]
