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

[@DarrenPriest73]

Adam Duritz certainly has an unmistakable voice.

[@bx22able]

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

[@iforget8716]

As soon as Adam Duritz starts singing my blues melt away

[@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

[@timhorpo]

As a full on deadhead, this is really really good

[@artiemulford8445]

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

[@shagadelic4210]

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

[@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..

[@uberglamazon]

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

[@quinndawsonosgood5261]

Jerry and Robert would both love this cover. Well done

[@JubeProductions]

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

[@scaletipping4715]

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

[@LeonardSmalls]

Singer can make anything sound like his own.

[@ryanpatrickwhite97]

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

[@kellscartman8219]

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

[@jungleforeva]

Kells Cartman True

[@charleshowlett1291]

the devil went down to georgia he was lookin for a soul to steal

[@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

[@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

[@brianzegar7407]

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

[@bknsty14]

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

[@erikb8838]

This is my all-time favorite song.

[@EPelcher]

[@ehwhynot6126]

Surprisingly fantastic rendition

[@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.

[@mattgillespie7649]

[@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.

[@denisemariebensusan6121]

FUCKING FANTASTIC

[@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.

[@9tailskyle]

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

[@ytherenounicorns5077]

brilliant.

[@jeep1070]

A friend of the Dead is a friend of mine.... Counting Crows are finally good!

[@taijazvidfish]

Great stuff!

[@sethaverill5391]

Buetiful

[@gerardhaubert8210]

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

[@soulshakedown1013]

Just might get some sleep tonight...

[@jakemarlow8998]

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

[@meenjogreen]

It sounds exactly what it was counting crows

[@Bluelightcheaphotel]

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

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

This was a good version of that song.

[@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

[@janies-c2260]

Yes

[@barrywatters7181]

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

[@alansommer]

They should put that into the next project.

[@kenpower]

Fire

[@chrismnj]

I like it

[@officerlittle]

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

[@Hopper_House]

Sounds like a Counting Crows song

[@vette4life518]

[@takeonparis]

Aviom a320 mixer... in case anyone is interested.

[@donfeatherstone6235]

It's fun...contrived...they knew they were going to do it. Not a bad version.

[@danb4811]
