Best concert to Date!!!!! The Pavilion in Irving was awesome!!!
I love the Counting Crows I did not like their over the top stage lighting. I think Adam was not his best but bless his heart he tried. The lights were way too much, sometimes just because you can doesn't mean you should. Matchbox Twenty was tight. The stage was sparse and one expensive overhead flexible lighting rig. Much nicer. As for the venue. The walkway / colannade and bars are visible to the sides of the stage. That's greedy tacky and takes away from the artist and is sad. Definitely not a venue built for listening it was built to cash in. My complaint is that they could have done both with the right designers. It's a sound cone shaped open back venue that uses volume to substitute for good acoustics.
Great atmosphere, fun time, excellent weather. Thoroughly enjoyed this concert!
First thing: The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory is an awesome venue. Everything was so new and clean. Parking garage was available with a short walk to the venue, and traffic was smooth entering and exiting. Lots of people were working and very helpful. The only problem was trying to access restrooms from the sold out lawn seats. The women's and men's rooms are on opposite sides of the lawn. As always Matchbox Twenty rocked the house! Amazing show as always. During the encore, they did a cover of Simple Mind's Don't You that was point on. But Counting Crows was a dud. The songs they played were very slow and some were not recognizable. They didn't even play Mr. Jones. What artist doesn't play their biggest hits? If Counting Crows had played last, I would've left early.
I have seen MB20/Rob Thomas 14 times now and I think Sunday's show topped them all. They have so many good songs and I danced and screamed the whole show. Having 4th row may have had something to do with it. If you ever have a chance to see them in concert, do it!
Waited for 4 years for them to go on tour again. Best ever.
Venue needs a lot of work. Took most of the show to get the sound right, and still highly under construction. I’ve seen the Counting Crows many times, this was by far the most mediocre performance I have seen my Adam Duritz. He acted like he didn’t care and wasn’t feeling well or jiving with the audience like he usually does. Matchbox 20 and Rivers & Rust in the other hand were very on point and performed a phenomenal show.
While I was not expecting Counting Crows to be first, it was appropriate. CC were good, don't get me wrong (I have seen them three times)... MB20 and Rob Thomas were amazing. Rob put everything into this show!
This is the 2nd time I've seen MB20 and 3rd time I've seen Rob Thomas. Always always amazing. Every song is better than the last!
Love Matchbox 20! It was the best concert I have ever been to.
Perfect date night with the hubby & MB20! Unforgettable
I went to a lot of concerts this summer and a couple of them really stood out as above the rest, but this one truly took the cake! Rob Thomas certainly knows how to connect with the crowd and make you feel like you are having a shared experience. The Counting Crows were sometimes great and sometimes lackluster, but Matchbox 20 was ON the entire time! Just a wonderful show!!
Great concert! My wife and I had a great time. Matchbox 20 sounded awesome as well as Counting Crows. The Toyota Music Factory had nothing but good to great seats. Cannot wait to go again.
These guys got the crowd into every song. Everyone had fun!!
Thank goodness Matchbox 20 was so amazing!! I was very disappointed in the Counting Crows. I am a LONG time fan of theirs and was truly disappointed in the way Adam sang the songs. When we go to a concert we want to hear the songs they way they were written and performed on the album. That did not happen with 99% of the songs. On the upside, :) Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 was so good! we were all up dancing and singing along. It was quite memorable. The new venue still has some kinks to work out. 8000 people on the lawn is WAY too many. The sound system was good, i will be very interested to see a concert with the doors closed.
LOVED THE SHOW!!!! ROB THOMAS KNOWS HOW TO PUT ON A SHOW, THE VENUE WAS NICE AND COMFORTABLE EVEN THE GRASS SEATS...THE PARKING FEE WAS A LITTLE HIGH...BUT WE GOT OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE VERY QUICKLY... I WOULD DEFINATLEY GO BACK FOR ANOTHER CONCERT THERE.........LOVE MATCHBOX 20
Great concert! We had backstage passes and second row center seats, but it would have been wonderful from anywhere within the venue. Props to the new Irving Music Factory as well.
Was psyched to see matchbox 20 and they did not disappoint! Rob Thomas has tons of energy. I seriously wanted to just stay all night.
Freaking amazing show!!! Matchbox 20 is a great band and put on a electric show!
