Save your money!
00, yes, with Omaha! Be smart. Dont waste the money purchasing this import cd with three tracks! You can download very good quality live tracks from the Counting Crows website - entire concerts for 10. Baby I'm a Big Star Now, was just added to the Import Saturday Nites and Sunday Mornings so if you really want the track, wait and look for the song to be more readily available (and cheaper)in the near future - in fact, you can download just the track from amazon uk.


Yes, imports are expensive, get over it!
Omaha is great live, but the unreleased material is the kicker. This is a quality import by the best band ever.

If you like Counting Crows, and you want NEW music, then get this import.


Reality, people
It is an IMPORT!! That means it is going to cost more. It seems weird to me that so many people bought this (or claimed to) expecting it to blow them away because it was expensive. It is rare. The band didn't even play Omaha live after the August tour for years, and I hadn't heard it live until this May--except on this CD. Baby I'm a Big Star Now should have been on TDL, but it wasn't, and the only reason that it got released on this single is so that people would start circulating that version on the file-sharing programs, because the available version was horrid quality-wise, and there wasn't anything better to stick on a 2nd single. It's a great song, however, and this recording actually does it justice. All imports are [expensive], anyway.


Great if you're a fan...
Baby, I'm A Big Star Now is indeed a brand new non-album track, and it is actually quite good. The Counting Crows have never been known for putting out new songs as B-Sides to their singles, but this one is obviously an exception. If you found yourself disappointed by the lack of upbeat material on This Desert Life, this is the exact song for you. . . and if you're a fan, you will not be disappointed. The live version of Omaha, however, is nothing to write home about, just a nice little live song that was previously available on August And Everything After, and thus makes this single less attractive to me. In the end, you should get this single only if you already own and love This Desert Life (and if you don't own it yet, I highly advise that you pick it up). If you're looking for great live songs, however, you'll probably do better with Hanginaround pt. 1.


2 super songs and a fabulous live performance...
My beautiful brother helped me to buy it. I recommande all people to buy this cd. I 'm reconnaissant envers him.
