The Greatest Concert On Earth

I've not been a devout follower of the Counting Crows. I've certainly loved all of their major singles, and I've dabbled in some of there non-mainstream stuff. I'm also a HUGE fan of their live material, bootleg or otherwise.

So imagine my utter surprise when I was promised a ticket to see them at the Toledo Zoo tonight. In short, of the dozen-ish concerts that I've been to in my lifetime, the Counting Crows put on the best show yet. It's not just the tight light show, the perfect playing, the humor, or the sincere songs. The Counting Crows played in front of a crowd of about 4,000 people tonight, but they played their set like they were in front of 30,000. High-energy from front to back and incredibly tied together from one song to the next, the entire show was jaw-dropping.

They promise to return next year. I can only begin counting the days.
