Maroon 5 & Counting Crows

Maroon 5 & the Counting Crows were in town on Friday for a stop on their tour. Augustana (up and coming new group?) opened up the show and they were pretty cool. Here are some pictures of the concert:
Counting Crows above and below. I must admit that I have not heard many of their songs, and they only played songs from their new album. So, while it was cool and all, I was not familiar with the music. Everyone else around me enjoyed them though. I did figure out from this concert that the majority of Counting Crows band mates originated from northern California.

Maroon 5's light show during their set was awesome. The only bad part was that their set lasted only an hour! Such a disappointment. BUT they did make it up, I suppose. The lead singer, Mickey, actually gave his guitar away to some lucky member of the audience in the front row. I kid you not. I don't know how to play a guitar but when I saw him handing his guitar to some lucky person in the audience, I wanted to be that person. WOW. What a story that would be. How many people can go around saying, "The lead singer of Maroon 5 gave me his guitar!"
Here's a video of the Counting Crows closing up their set and telling everyone that nobody is lip synching on the stage that night:



I also have some videos of Maroon 5, but YouTube is giving me problems with uploading and Blogger is not any better. Will post as I as soon as technology cooperates with me.
