Counting Crows at Chateau St Michelle

We were at the concert at the Chateau St. Michelle winery lat night for the Counting Crows with the Wallflowers. As usual the Crows were awesome! What else was awesome was that we were lucky enough to do a meet and greet with the band as well see their sound check session before the concert.

They were totally cool and stayed around for pictures and signing. The things I got signed by the band:

• The CD Booklet for August and Everything After
• The CD Booklet for Hangingaround single (with the single August and Everything After)

The Wallflowers was first and they played for about 45 minutes. I remember when they used to be headlining shows and we actually saw them when they were at Marymoor several years back. Not a bad opening act. 

The Crows sang an assortment of tracks from all of their albums with a several from their latest album, Underwater Sunshine. Their setlist:

1. Round Here 
2. Untitled (Love Song)  (The Romany Rye cover)
3. Four Days 
4. Hospital (Coby Brown cover)
5. Colorblind 
6. Perfect Blue Buildings 
7. Children in Bloom 
8. Start Again (Teenage Fanclub cover)
9. Omaha 
10. Los Angeles 
11. Mrs. Potter's Lullaby 
12. Mercy 
13. Like Teenage Gravity (Kasey Anderson cover)
14. A Long December 
15. Return of the Grievous Angel  (Gram Parsons cover)
16. I Wish I Was a Girl 
17. A Murder of One 
18. Washington Square  (encore)
19. Hanginaround 
20. Holiday in Spain 

We sat in the general admission area and had lawn chairs to the left of the stage and sat only a few rows back. Unfortunately our seats had people walking past because of the corridor right next to us so we couldn't see the Crows with an unobstructed view, but they sounded great.

So I add Chateau St. Michelle to the list of concerts with the Crows that now include five. I am not going to rank them all as they were all special.
