The day itself wasn't very eventful, however tonight was party time at Delta Center, SLC's basketball stadium. It startet with plenty of food, some kind of soda-pop which served as a poor excuse of a beer (I think its called Budweiser here), a DDR station, an Elvis immitator which wasn't bad, some silly green-screen music video parodies and a break-dance crew. Next, a mediocre stand-up commedian. Okay, mediocre in my opionion. Maybe I just don't know enough about American family life to find his jokes funny...
The highlight of tonight was a concert by the Counting Crows, who were just a one-hit wonder in Germany but are still quite big in the US. Quite nice music, lyrics and arrangements. The sound was almost perfect (too much bass, though), despite the less-then-perfect accoustics of the hall. However, it was far too loud. Even with earplugs near the end of the show. Furthermore, I had the impression that the front man was drunk or on dope, maybe both. Maybe he was just tired. But given that his lyrics revolve around drinking, being high -- and women, of course -- well, draw your own conclusions... In any way, it was a very entertaining show. Yet, I've seen better bands on stage.
