The first portion of the tour is dominated by appearances in support of The Who. Counting Crows will open for the British rockers in Irvine, Calif.; Los Angeles; Dallas; St. Paul, Minn.; Mansfield, Mass; and Toronto. The remainder of the outing focuses on the college circuit.
“Hard Candy” was produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Peter Gabriel), and includes contributions from Leona Naess (the girlfriend of Crows’ frontman Adam Duritz) and Matthew Sweet.
The band has instituted some fan-friendly changes this year, including an in-house ticketing system and a concert taping policy similar to that of jam band Phish. Details are posted at the band’s official website.
