Makes me wonder if this December will be long?
Last night, Mike and I were able to attend the Maroon 5 and Counting Crows concert at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion.
We are noticing how we are “getting older” in relation to music. Most folks were there to see Maroon 5 not Counting Crows. The Counting Crows have a history of opening for bands, not headlining. This is bizarre to me since most of the bands that they are opening for are SO much younger than them. I guess they like the ability to leave at a decent hour and not have the stress of headlining. They still rock though. I’m still wondering when the OLDIES station will start playing Madonna, (the old) New Kids on the Block or Duran Duran…..man….that’s going to be a tough day.
I used to be a closet Maroon 5 fan. But Mike and I have the ability to say outloud (now)…We are Maroon 5 fans. They had a great set list of almost all the songs that I enjoy (I won’t go home without you….one of my favorites)
Counting Crows is one of those bands that take me back to high school and college but still they have carried on throughout the years in my life occurances. All good memories. ”A Long December” (the video features the lead singer’s ex-wife….Friends’ Courtney Cox!) It’s one of our favorites - both good and sad memories of year’s past (2003) - but the next year was better 
They had a good sample of their music. But they did not play my favorite song….Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby. It’s such a great song. Sorry I had to post another YouTube video….
Although, last night I showed my age. Half-way through the set - I was ready to go. They had played all the songs I knew. Lights, smoke and 10:30 pm…..Jenn Barron (Williams) was out. Heading home without facing the traffic….small late night snack and I was in the bed before midnight!
We also have a tradition of when we do leave concerts early (the concerts in which we have decent seats) - to find those “superfans” in the bad seats or lawn seats….and give them our tickets. Last night, we did the same. I hope those girls had a good time.
*The title of the blog is my attempt to combine (Makes Me Wonder (Maroon5) and A Long December (Counting Crows)).
