Sullivan Street : A Counting Crows Podcast

In this episode, we give a deep review and breakdown of CC's "official" bootleg Face the Promised Land, recorded almost 25 years ago (December 2, 1999 in Denver).  

Special guest Rich Kulesa (who actually attended the Face the Promised Land taping!!) helps give us the quarter-century old "inside story". 

Then, Eric and Zephry review the last show of the Oneness Tour, which was in "The OC" (Costa Mesa, CA), and featured Toad the Wet Sprocket).  All I want, indeed. 

Danny Eisenberg has been the backup keyboard player for the Crows for decades, including a few shows on this year's tour.  He was also a founding member of Mod-L society, one of Adam's first bands.  Maybe most important, he's also a childhood friend of Immy. 

Hear some behind the scenes stories and learn what it's like to fill in (or support) Charlie on the road....

We continue our review of This Desert Life, talk about what we believe are the Top 5 songs on the album, and get into a few personal stories.....

Eric, Chris, and Geoff are joined by guest hosts Kevin Tellie and Sara Goodman.

Together, the group discusses the Crows' third studio album (and fan favorite) "This Desert Life".

Geoff and Eric get into the history of the album; as well as some trivia.  Then, the group gives their ranking of songs #11-#6

In this episode, we shine a "song spotlight" and perform a very deep dive into two Crows' songs that are perhaps somewhat unappreciated:  

Daylight Fading , and  

Raining in Baltimore.

In the first half of this episode, Chris and Eric play "catch up", talking about all the Crows news and notes over the last few months.; and even get to a few listener emails.  

In the second half, the focus is on Hammerstein Ballroom - a venue for some of Crows' classic shows (and not just the "10 spot" show).  

In particular, time is spent discussing:
