The Counting Crows' performance at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory

The Counting Crows' performance at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on August 23rd for the Banshee Season tour was one of their best in years! This was a night filled with high energy and intimacy as the band treated the audience to a memorable evening of Counting Crows classics.

From the moment they took the stage, it was evident that the band has recaptured a passion and vibrance to perform their catalog of hits and hidden gems. The setlist was a perfect blend of old favorites and some surprises, keeping the audience engaged and excited throughout the performance.

Songs like "Mr. Jones" and "A Long December" had the crowd singing along with every word, creating a sense of unity and nostalgia. The band's chemistry on stage was tight, and it was clear that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

One of the highlights of the evening was when Dashboard Confessional joined Counting Crows on stage for the encore. Their collaborative performance of "Hangin' Around" was a delightful surprise, and the audience couldn't get enough of it. The two bands also teamed up for a cover of Dashboard Confessional's own song “So Long, So Long”, making it a unique and unforgettable moment.

Counting Crows can be counted on for great tours, but it is evident that Adam Duritz and band continue to bring higher levels of energy and passion for the vast catalogue of songs over their career. 

The overall atmosphere of the concert was electric, and the audience's energy was matched by the band's enthusiasm.
