I have been to many, many concerts throughout my 35 years. Never have I seen anything like the Counting Crows' performance at Nissan Pavilion in Virginia. They were the last band of the night to play. It is my opinion that lead singer, Adam Duritz, must have been drunk and/or high based on the "performance" he gave. He opened with their popular hit, Rain King. Well, thankfully the audience knew the song and sang it out loud because Duritz sang (or rather barely spoke) about every 3rd or 4th word of the song. He stumbled around the stage, managing somehow to stay upright. The next several songs were mostly spoken and were practically unrecognizable renditions. His presentation was overly dramatic, and I'm convinced he was looking at hallucinations he was seeing in the palm of his hands. Duritz did not speak to the crowd at all until about the fifth song had finished. Then, it was only to talk about a time he was on a magazine cover with a celebrity he had never met before. (What?!?!) At that point, my friend and I chose to leave the venue. We were hardly alone. About 1/3 of the audience also began to leave. Thankfully, I was there that night to see Maroon 5 (who gave and EXCELLENT performance), so the evening wasn't a complete wash. Had I been there mainly to see Counting Crows, I would have been very angry.
