Geez. I just looked up reviews of Ace of Spades in Sacramento. Bad. I thought something might be off since they offered the bullshit fast lane for extra money and some exclusive bar pass for extra. Sounds like that place was bought and is frequently oversold with bad sight lines for most people in the venue. Sucks. I really wanted to see TGA.

Took in a Counting Crows show last night in Toronto (great show) and The Gaslight Anthem opened. I am not overly familiar with them, but surprisingly, they covered Chloe Dancer. Great version of it. Their set was great as well but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Chloe.
Glad you liked the show. I bought tickets for the show here in New Jersey at the end of the month. Counting Crows in the late 90s was the worst concert I’ve ever seen. But I couldn’t pass up a chance to see Gaslight Anthem again. Especially after they dropped the lawn tickets to $30.

We went to last night’s show here in New Jersey. Loved the setlist. Too short but it was awesome. They really need to play back here in NJ soon. Also loved that they came on stage to the Sopranos theme song.
I was tempted to bail right after Gaslight was done but I wanted to give Counting Crows another chance. They were better than the first time I saw them but we ended up leaving halfway through the set. The band was really good but Duritz just seemed uninspired. He seemed out of breath a lot, he recited some lyrics instead of singing them and let the crowd take a bunch of high notes. Not terrible but not good enough for us to hang in for the whole show and it felt like a letdown after TGA played. A lot of people seemed to be leaving early as well. Super happy we went for the opener though. 😁
