Counting Crows!!

After months of anticipation and excitement and the playing(over and over and over) of their new album SATURDAY NIGHTS AND SUNDAY MORNINGS the day finally came.. Counting Crows performing at the Liverpool Echo Arena as part of the "Summer Pops" series of concerts. Absolutely brilliant!! But TOO SHORT! It was all over too soon! To be fair lead singer Adam Duritz was leaping about energetically (and very randomly.. did he know where he was going?!!) for almost an hour and a half, but so many of our favourite songs were omitted.. presumably due to time restrictions(it took us an hour to get out of the carpark afterwards)

Counting Crows were formed in 1991 and have been touring for 15 years, loads of energy and fabulous vocals, Adam can still belt out a great tune, he has an amazing voice. The crowd were dancing in the aisles to Mrs Jones("I dont think so... He`s looking at ME").It was fab. But all around us(fantastic seats, right by the stage!) people were calling for their favourite tunes.. Mrs Potter! Shrek!(that was me!)... I wish they could have come on stage earlier and sang another half a dozen songs. That said it was brill.. and Ive got the tee shirt!
