MATCHBOX 20 AND OTHERS

We started the show happy and left blown away with a slight dip in the middle. Opener Rivers and Rust were fantastic featuring Matchbox 20's Kyle Cook alongside the amazing Sheila Marshall had us wanting more at the end. Then the stage opened up with the Counting Crows, a band that I have a lot of respect for and know a couple of their tunes. I had some mixed feelings, what I heard I enjoyed and I wished I knew more of their songs so I could have sung along like others were. I struggled to hear the vocals as the music was overtaking them and the frontman lacked interaction with the audience. Not sure why they left out "Mr. Jones" from their set as it was the one that I (and others) wanted to hear the most. Matchbox 20 took the stage and the energy that they supplied lit up the whole place. Rob Thomas and the boys killed it. I've never seen a better show. Ever! They performed as a equal unit and the respect they shared for each other and the audience was obvious to everyone there.

CROWS SUCK

Matchbox Twenty get all 4 stars. Zilch for Counting Crows. CC need to play music that their audience want to hear not what they want to play. We are the paying customers. Never again. They disrespect the audience. Rob Thomas et al were great!

COUNTING CROWS > MB20

For anyone who thinks the counting crows are not good live, then they don't know real talent. MB20 brought energy but they don't hold a candle to the crows musically. It's like comparing the Yankees to a double A team. Adam and company were fantastic as always and I would have paid triple to listen to two sets from them.

CROWS/MATCHBOX 20

I do agree the sound was a little off for the Crows, but they did their usual concert. Little lacking since CC did not close as they normally do. If you are a fan, you enjoyed. Not the same version of the song every time. Blues Run the Game was awesome! Miami was really good. Rain King great! Round Here good. Stayed for a few songs by Matchbox 20. I liked Rob's energy on stage. I could see where Matchbox 20 fans would have enjoyed, but did not know enough songs to keep me in my seats.

MATCHBOX TWENTY AUWSOME, COUNTING CROWA A WASTE OF TIME

Rob Thomas still sounds as good as he did on his first album with excellent showmanship and was totally into it. The Counting Crows were a total disgrace, not into it and the sound was totally awful. What happened to the signature song Mr. Jones !!
