The extras are a nice addition... "August and Everything After" remains my all time favorite album. One of the very few I can listen to as a whole, song after song. Adam Duritz has an amazing poetic mind, and Anna Begins may be the most beautiful love song ever written. The sound quality of this version of the album is far superior to the original. The demos and live tracks are excellent. Buy this if you don't already own August! If you do, and you really are a fanatic, as I am, buy it anyway and love it.
soul warming This album warms my soul. I have heard every song the Counting Crows have published and this album, I think, is their best collection so far. I can't wait for their next creation.
August and Everything After Awesome CD. I bought this Cd when it was origanally released, I lost the copy and purchased it again.It WAS THAT GOOD!!!
I liked so much that I bought two of them What can I say? The B-side show is great and the songs were sung with so much enthusiasm that it's absorbing!!! Adam's words is even more delightful, 'cause he explains a little bit about the band formation and some problems they have along the time until the Paris show. One more thing: the bonus tracks after August original is also amazing... Thanks CC for one more pleasure hearing you!!!
August and Everything After - Deluxe Edition If you don't have the original (which is a classic by the way) or if you are such a hardcorp fan that you just have to have the three demo songs, and the half a dozen live versions, then this album should get a five star rating for you. But if you already have the original August and Everything After, this album probably only gets about three stars. You'll note that I gave it five stars, I actually had the original, but lost it years ago. So the whole album is a great value, and really an amazing CD, to me.
