Description

Maybe the most legendary of the Crows live shows, Counting Crows played for 5 consecutive years in New Orleans during Jazzfest..  The "Shim Sham Shows" (played at the Shim Sham Club) occurred from 1999-2003.

Lewis Fowler was there for 3 of them and was the "official/unofficial" recorder of those bootlegs.  Yes, if you've heard those shows - it's because of Lewis.  

Join Lewis, Chris and Eric as we walkthrough an amazing aspect of CC history.
