Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows

Kevin was able to get us tickets to the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows show last night! This co-headlining tour started last night at the Clark County Amp. Augustana opened the show, which we missed due to traffic and munching on yummy chicken strips and fries. No worries there though, the food was much more satisfying than hearing the opening band. Upon entering the venue we headed to our 18th row seats, center section! I was pleasantly surprised to see Goo Goo Dolls start off the show since I was hoping Counting Crows would come on last. Goo Goo Dolls put on a surprisingly good show and had great sound. Below is the set list. Lots of songs from their new album but they did play quite a few that I knew, which was cool.

Counting Crows came out second and opened with a great song! I was absolutely stunned to see how large Adam Duritz had gotten! Holy crap that guy must weigh 250, at least! Anyway, I enjoy the set, albeit the didn't play some of the songs I wanted to here like "Anna Begins", "Rain King", and "Up All Night."
