The night was perfect. The weather was just right! The venue was packed. Counting Crows put on a great show. When Maroon 5 appeared and 9:30 the place exploded! Fifteen thousand fans sang the words of almost every song. Bob and Shauna had not seen the new show. The lights, the lasers, the sound, the staging were astonishing. Over the last few years we have watched Maroon 5 grow into one of the best bands EVER! Adam's vocals are as strong and clear as any crooner in history (and we have heard a lot of singers over the last six plus decades). James' guitar solos gave us chills! We remember a thirteen year-old practicing hour after hour in his room after school nearly seventeen years ago in Lincoln, Nebraska.
