All I could say when I saw the plans for a UK/EU tour was "It's about time." It's hard to explain to fans why bands occasionally let so much time pass between visits. The truth is sometimes life just gets in the way and, before you know it, it's been a few years. Personally, I'm just glad we're going back. I have a lot of great memories of past tours. Remembering where we've been always gets me excited about where we're going.


We're also amidst another contest on Creative Allies. After the success of our album cover contest for Underwater Sunshine, we decided to use our fans to create a special poster commemorating our return to the southern hemisphere. Click here to learn more.

I'm not such a diehard fan as Diane (only seen them twice, once at 8 months pregnant) but they are BRILLIANT - you are in for a real treat Adam - best band in the world!!

Oh yes! Hammersmith Apollo - my family thought I'd gone completely bonkers when I got the notification of the tour through on my email and started screaming and jumping up and down!!  What happens at the meet and greet Diane (apart from the obvious)?  We just got normal standing tickets.

I suggested a road trip to all the gigs to my mates. They just think I'm weird so I've settle for London only. Adam, you will have a great time. Don't expect them to play anything specific as per an album or live album though. Every time I see them it's like they jam right through the songs and rewrite them as they go. Every gig is like a whole new playlist of songs that you only thought you knew. Ever compared live across a wire Mr. Jones to the original album version?

Can't wait!

Yes thats what a love about it have you seen me lately on across the wire compared to the original plus rain king original across the wire and the live versions all different

Ticketmaster are now selling official platinum seats in blocks 8 and 10 in pairs of 2. It's closer than those we got on pre-release if anyone wants to pay a little more.

That's for Hammersmith.

Meet and greet Cheryl - you go in early, meet the band, photos, hear them do their final sound check, get a poster and some laminate type thing.  When I saw them in US, the gigs were only a few days apart and they did different sets so hope they will do this again.  Obviously some of the songs were the same but they do a few different ones as well.  I guess they know their fans follow them about

Counting Crows On Tour

The GreyBird Foundation was established because we believe America is a dream in which the thoughts and needs of each and every person matter. Unfortunately, people feel small as the world expands and they forget that they ARE America.

So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.
