Show review

The Goo Goo Dolls.  They sang the hits and put on a decent show.  Good audience interaction.  Their background stuff was clearly low budget.  They need to talk to the sound crew who had the singer's mic on 2 for most of the first song.  After that was fixed, they sounded good.

The Counting Crows.  Hmmm.  They mighta spent a tad more on their stage set up.  The lead singer had a frightening amount of white in his dreadlocks and was also sporting a pot belly.  He sounded good, but they changed up the songs way too much.  ""Murder of One"" was turned into some kind of performance piece you'd expect to see at an artsy coffee house in a college town.  He was fluttering his arms as he was feathered by the moonlight.  Odd.

It was fun.  It was free.  Each band played just over an hour.  eh.  Neither band is Bon Jovi.  I give the whole show a 7 out of 10.
