DALLAS - The HDNet Concert Series presents Counting Crows Live, premiering March 7 at 10:00 p.m. ET. Filmed February 5 & 6 at the Amsterdam Heineken Music Hall during their 2003 World Tour, this signature concert showcases the Counting Crows in stunning 1080i high definition, as they perform such hits as "Mr. Jones," "A Long December," "Rain King," and "Big Yellow Taxi."

"We are excited to present Counting Crows as part of our HDNet Concert Series," said Mark Cuban, co-founder and president of HDNet. "HDNet viewers will have a front-row seat to enjoy this popular band's colorful style and soulful sound."

Counting Crows formed in 1989 when singer Adam Duritz and guitarist David Bryson hooked up in San Francisco and began performing acoustic music in local coffeehouses. The debut album - August and Everything After, was released in 1993 and the radio-friendly single "Mr. Jones" propelled the album to No. 4. It remained in the Top 200 for 93 weeks selling over six million copies. "Round Here" and "Rain King" were also hits from the album.

The group's latest release, Films About Ghosts: The Best of Counting Crows, has gone Gold. The album represents ten years of hits from four extremely successful records.
