The Black Crowes / Son Volt / Cross Canadian Ragweed

I got in just in time to see Cross Canadian Ragweed and Black Crowes. I had previously seen Black Crowes at Nokia and thought they put on a great show. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with their performance this time. I felt like they gave us the "B track" concert instead of playing their big hits that we all know and love. They started out strong with 'Twice as Hard' and the crowd was into it and rocking out. Then they switched to loooonng and slow jams featuring each of the band members. Sure, I understand that this concert was a little more laid back and smaller than their normal venue, but the audience had been there since noon; they were hot, tired, and drunk - the last thing they need is music that puts them to sleep! I watched the crowd dwindle as people got bored and left. They didn't play another big hit until 45 minutes later, unfortunately the crowd was so zoned out by then that the band couldn't get the crowd back up to the energy level it was at before. Disappointing!!
