I grew up with this song, and it's never moved me as much as it does now at 44

"But everybody is tired of something..." Simple and powerful. This song is a real masterpiece.

I was so young, a lonely infantry Soldier, listening to this band in the 90s. They spoke to my soul and I miss those years. . .before a big part of me was lost.

This song is a masterpiece.

Yes, it is.

The tenderness of this song with the visual chaos that was Woodstock ‘99 is quite the juxtaposition.

Adam never sings the same version twice. That’s a damn good band to keep up with his random ass tempo and cadence.

Although it may seem random ”tempo”. To a band like that they are clear note values and easy to follow. But yes they are a great band.

One of the best live performance recordings ive ever beheld. He got the woodstock 99 crowd to shut up and listen. They were in the pslm of his hand. Goddamn.

The absolute best memory of my life was in 98 while Adam Duritz was singing my favorite song, Rain King, and I was against the stage and he accidentally kicked a harmonica that he played that night off the stage and it fell and I was lucky to find it 🎉

Amazing sound, amazing words, just amazing!!! Like a person who has problem with realtionships, walking in circles, don't have courage to end the relationship...

This song will never fail moving me to tears , no matter how many years go by

Lying about that is crazy weird and partly why you’re a loser in life

I thank God that I lived through that era where humanity could embrace happily singing a song like this the intensity of our youth was a refined flow between the beauties of the world and the contact with others was real and without fear social networks smartphones did not exist the real world existed and we really communicated. thanks to Counting Crows for this masterpiece that today's music people can only dream about . Mirka from Italy

What a fantastic performance to a great song. Definitely my favorite version of the song. I can’t get enough of thr giant crowd. Boy did this send off the 90s well.

I've lost multiple very close ones to me over the past 2 years, I feel as if I'm out of friends and family I can count on and it's disappointing but I'm glad I still have the crows to keep me company.

"Hey mom, I'm a rock n roll star!" Yet he's gonna get old and suffer love and loss and death like the rest of us. And he knows it. And that's why the lyrics are so moving.

I saw Counting Crows in concert in 2002 (I think) and it continues to be the best concert I have ever been to.

His voice hits notes that choke me up. Been a massive fan since the mid 90's

Best version ever! Amazing.

I was in the audience that day…pure magic. ❤️

This band significance is so much further than anyone could realize

Hes amazing

I’m in my early 30s now and I have felt so depressed that I never got to pursue my dream of playing music. I spent my better years serving in the Army and deploying to Afghanistan. After my last deployment I returned a broken man. A shell of who I once was and ended up getting discharged due as a medical discharge. I spent a few years basically trying to destroy myself. All until I met a girl who’s dad I was working for doing landscaping. We got together and she got pregnant. I got cleaned up and now we are 8 years married and have a 7 year old son. But I never got to really chase my dream.

My long time favorite…

No words can do this performance, song and band justice...genius within genius within genius. I feel, sense, hear and understand you. Beauty beyond..deeply spiritual and life changing profound.

well, nice performance but cant beat the 1994 Paris version of this one. They nailed it completely back then. Great great band!

She asked if I thought I was dreaming I said Yes because I m used to living a nightmare but seriously everything I needed her too much more than she could ever notice me please

The people shoulder to shoulder carrying one another had no idea how close they were to heaven. Not a single smart phone to speak of and nop one there addicted to social media. Just addicted to humanity.

damn this is great

I was there!😅

Tye dye Kenny powers crushing bass

God that would suck to be there

“She said, ‘Did you think that you were dreaming?’” Yes. And then I woke up. And I missed it. Missed it all. And I learned it all But way too late With just one shot.

Great until the ads in the MIDDLE of the song.

It is starting to rain :(

Too bad this guy couldn’t step In and save the day when Fred Durst made everyone “break stuff” lol I think this guy literally could’ve made that entire crowd go peaceful when Limp Bizkit made them go crazy.

Finally! Amid all the "best song, no, best performance EVERR!!!" comments here, someone with a more reasonable view. I haven't seen them live, and only really know the first album. The album is pretty nice, but the various live versions I've seen of the songs on video (both early-era, and more recent) are exactly this lame stretched-out stuff.

@MiaDiRienzo

I know that when some people see a group live, they just want to hear what they are used to hearing, but some of us prefer to see if Adam can take a song that we love somewhere we’ve never been before. As a singer, he taught me to improvise. Also, he has a dissociative disorder that flares up when he tours, so there have been some concerts I’ve seen through the years in which he doesn’t quite seem like himself and seems detached from the songs. But man, when he’s on… This is exactly the magic I’m here for, personally.

Sucks live.
