Passion, passion, and more passion. They played for 3 1/2 hours jamming together like they were at your house. These three are soooo real! I have always been a diehard Counting Crows fan, but not I have a new appreciation for the talents of the lead singer of Augustana, as well as Franti, who I never heard of before. All 3 have unique voices and spirit. If they were playing in LA again, I would go tonight.
I wish I could bottle this concert up and pop it open whenever I wanted. The energy was amazing ...also, so cool to see all of the instruments/3 bands on one stage! The small intimate setting of the Greek Theater outside also made this the best show I have ever been to!!

So, I am way behind on my email and didn't realize that the show was going to start right on time. It would have been nice to have known that when the ticket was purchased.

5 years ago, great; Last summer, horrible

Well, I have seen them at the Hard Rock cafe in Las Vegas and LOVED them. Then they came to Raleigh, NC and I spent a lot of money to see them. What I found out was that they were touring with the teenie bopper band Maroon 5. What it came down to was this, 25% of the crowd was in the 30's and up and watched Counting Crows open up for Maroon 5. Then the 25% left once the pop songs devoted to 13 year old girls started playing. Why would the Counting Crows tour with Maroon 5 when you they are catering to different age-brackets. That is really lame and not fair to your fans who are having to pay a lot of money to see you live. Of course, their performance was shorter than it should of been since they were opening for another group. I felt so slighted and the Crows should be embarrassed. Never again.

My boyfriend and I saw Counting Crows in concert and were highly disappointed. We had seen them the summer before and were absolutely blown away by such an awesome concert. We waited a very long time for the concert to start and it really was unacceptable. I expected the concert to be a lot better and from this experience I'll never go to a Counting Crows concert again.

This was my 8th Counting Crows show. They really rocked it out this time with songs such as "Murder of One" "Hanging Tree" and "Catapult." They also played fan favorites such as "Long December" and "Mr. Jones." Also, Augustana and Michael Franti and Spearhead were also featured in this concert. They played with the band and sometimes were onstage playing together all at the same time. It was great! What a memorable experience. Counting Crows ROCK LIVE!! Many covers were played at this show with the other bands.

My love the Counting Crows and Augustana greatly increased after this show! I saw them together last fall and they were brilliant. Add Michael Franti & Spearhead into the mix and you have a fantastic musical collaboration!! Keep up the work guys and gals!

I have seen Counting Crows before and they were awsome!!! However, I did not enjoy this show. The 3 bands all played together and honestly, the opening acts played more than Counting Crows did. I paid to see them and I don't feel as though I got my money's worth.

We really, really enjoy listening to Counting Crows cds and went to one of their concerts a few years ago. We were really looking forward to singing and dancing along to a bunch of their songs, but unfortunately during this concert they played very few of their own songs and the ones that they did play were not played in the same arrangements or tempos that we were used to. I think it's great when artists are creative and mix things up a little, but we also paid a lot of money to see them perform the songs that we like and that did not happen - they did not even play their own songs during the encore. I really wish that we would have chosen another concert to go to and unfortunately will not be seeing Counting Crows again.

I can't wait until Counting Crows comes again to a town near me! They are so tight that even their space music was phenomenal. The seating was great and I could see everything going on onstage. They played a little of everything and a few others thrown in. It was definitely worth the extra pain.

What a show this was!! I loved that the bands came together and sang each other's songs from beginning to end. I had only heard a few of Michael Franti's songs in the past but he's turned me into a permanent fan. The combination of voices & instruments made this summer show my favorite of the season. I felt that the audience wasn't just there for Counting Crows. People equally liked Augustana and MF & Spearhead. The bandmates had people dancing & singing in one giant union. Adam was funny & very playful with the crowd. I loved that MF pulled up the kids from the audience and allowed them to sing. The bands genuinely liked & embraced one another.

i've been to hundreds of live concerts in the last 30 years, many artists, several genres, in a wide variety of venues & have never enjoyed a performance more. Augustana and CC played for nearly 4 hrs! Non-stop!

I didn't know what that Traveling Circus thing was all about so I was expecting a Counting Crows show that never happened. Some parts of the show were a little boring to me because I had never heard most of the "non-Crows" songs. But I did have fun!!!

I've seen Counting Crows a few times, but seeing this colloborative show with all these talented musicians working together was wonderful. Would have liked to see a few more Counting Crows songs, especially since the show was 4 hours. Appreciate the time and enthusiasm these artists brought to the stage. I also enjoyed hearing the well chosen covers

They billed it as a circus - so I should have expected it. The bands played too many covers and not enough of their own music. Also, I came for Micheal Franti and Spearhead, I would have MUCH rathered if he had played alone for all of his songs.
