Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows

Why see Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows?

Mr Thomas and Me...

Two icons of late-90s rock head out on tour together this year as Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows take to the road to gig across the US in their "A Brief History Of Everything" Tour! Set to last almost three months, the tour will see the two bands share the limelight to play fans a selection of their greatest hits from their illustrious discographies.

Matchbox Twenty were a hit right from their very first album which was Diamond certified in the USA and multi-platinum in Australia, Canada and New Zealand! Formed in Florida in 1995, the band has been very lucky to see few line-up changes during their seventeen-year history.

Formed in San Francisco in the early 90s, it was Counting Crows' 1991 debut August and Everything After which shot them to fame. Overseen by uber-producer T-Bone Burnett, it featured the monster hit Mr Jones, which turned the band into a household name overnight. Its easy going blend of alternative rock with just a hint of country stood in sharp contrast to the Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins' releases of the same year, and helped cement their place in rock history.

Awesome except counting crows

Let me tell you this concert was amazing! Matchbox 20 was amazingly impressive. High energy fun for everybody. We had so much fun, felt like Dancing all night. I used to love counting crows and still love the recording's but live no way. Counting crows should hang it up unless their sound guy is to blame. That part of the concert was a waste. You could not hear his voice at all. They let the music override him and maybe they should have who knows. And the tempo was not for the audience it was for them ... Read more

I love both bands

I grew up during this era,listen to every album by both bands. Sad to say Counting crows wasn't up to their normal par. I was in 7th row seat 1 right in the front. Next to the opening band Rivers & Rust and lead singers mom. it was definitely sound problems, for CC. MatchBox20 killed it.. The Stadium from my perspective even with all the cell phone lights on was a sight to behold and he ran from left to right side of the stage at his age doesn't get better than that ... Read more

Great concet

Great concert by 2 amazing bands from the '90s. Counting Crows opened-you need to know their style,..that's how they perform. It's not bad but just different than Matchbox 20. Maybe if people actually listened to the lyrics they would appreciate the greatness of Adam D and how polished the band is after 20+ years. MB20 was great...I forgot how many songs I knew. The crowd was into them for sure. Had a great night! ... Read more
