    Nah wasn't great tbf. I went for a pint just after Omaha and was able to hit the jacks, get the pint and get back to where I was (within ~15/20 yards of the stage) by the time they'd finished the next song.

    It was alright, thought Duritz was very self indulgent for Mr Jones - that isn't the version people know or like buddy! :(

    I was at the front and it was really noticeable that Adam was upset about the technical problems for the first half of the show. That being said, I think he genuinely seemed in great form by the end. It was a really incredible show once he hit his stride, far better than their gig in the 02 in 2009.

    He might be a grumpy ****er, but when it comes to musicianship Adam is absolute magic, as is the rest of the band. And Seasick Steve was the cherry on top of the cake. What a guy!

    I'm a long time crows fan and gotta say that Adams demeanour on stage was very poor last night. He literally didn't acknowledge the crowd until the encore. His band mates were so embarrassed I think Dan said something half way through about it been great to be back.The band were very into it and enjoyed it. His ranting to the sound guy was very distracting not just between songs but during instrumental sections of songs. The thing is that I thought the band sounded so tight and that he was singing well and the sound was great and the sun was shining. Yeah he seemed happier by the end but that's not good enough when your headlining an outdoor show to thousands who paid money. To little to late. That said, Thought the setlist was well judged too. Another stage distraction was the guitar tech guy who was practically out on stage fcking round with the guitars during songs. Surely could do this behind a screen in the wings.

    First time at the venue and really liked it .
