Counting Crows cancel show tonight
Don't count on the Crows.
Due to an illness, the Counting Crows will not perform at tonight's Bethel Woods concert. To compensate, the Goo Goo Dolls will play an extended set.
A statement released from the band says, "Counting Crows will not be able to play the Wednesday night show... We are very sorry for the inconvenience and we look forward to coming back to Bethel as soon as we can. Enjoy the show."
South Carolina alt/rock band The Working Title will open the show.
Tickets may be refunded at point-of-purchase or by calling Ticketmaster customer service at 454-3388. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.

Man... I was contemplating going to this show. My dad had to drive down to Northwest NJ Monday-Tues and I was going to convince him to let me go and stay around another night.
Well, the green o and the fuchsia o, hope the setlist is increased for you guys and it's a good show!

Lucky Goobers!!! I was hoping that would happen here at the end of the month. Not that I wish that Adam Duritz got sick, but that the Goos would get to play an extended set. All the GOOd stuff happens anywhere but here. Hope anyone who hit the show tonight has an amazing time for the rest of us!!!

Yeah, we didn't hear about this until we got there and they handed out little flyers at the entrance saying "IMPORTANT INFORMATION! The Counting Crows regret that blah blah..."
So I read it and was just thinking, no way. SERIOUSLY?
Yeah, seriously. (What I overheard from some people is that one of them got an ear infection... don't quote me on that, but it seems like something that'd be a good reason so I'll believe it.)

You're actually really close. We got all of those except for Naked. But they played Burnin' Up!!! BURNIN' UP!
Actually all of Robby's songs were ones-not-from-LLI, so I pretty much stood there on the verge of spontaneous human combustion (or as close as one can get). 
Setlist (in order):
Stay With You
Slide
Big Machine
Feel the Silence
Black Balloon
Smash
Tucked Away
Name
We'll Be Here (When You're Gone)
Sympathy
Iris
Burnin' Up
January Friend
Here is Gone
Broadway
Better Days
Let Love In
---
Become
Give a Little Bit
Without You Here
The crowd was actually really good considering the circumstances and everything. The vast majority of the people were standing and singing along... hell, we had some real crazies behind us (in a good way) that were yelling and flailing about the whole time. Apparently they were Buffalonians.  And at least one of them had a bunch of signs for Robby. Very entertaining bunch. They were fun to be around 'cause they got everybody into it.
Umm... what else. John was quite talkative (at least compared to what I've heard about the other shows). He made some snarky comments about how everyone needs to buy Let Love In, not just because it's a "great album", but because it's your civic duty. And if you don't? "The terrorists win!.... It worked for Bush, I thought it'd work for me too." He then proceeded to say that he's got nothing against the guy except for.... everything he does.
And he was talking about Name, and how that was the song where they "made it" ("what the hell does "MADE IT" mean, anyway?") because it was after that song that he got his first stalker. He thought it was cool for a while until he found out that the girl was stalking him because she claimed that he talked to her through the TV. So John said that was a talent of his, and Robby was like "...Dude, you gotta stop talking to people through the TV."
Now that I've reiterated their stories for you almost verbatim...
"Sympathy" was interesting... John totally knew he was likely to forget some of the lyrics, so before he started he asked (sarcastically) for a volunteer from the audience to sing for him if her forgot the words. So of course her starts playing... and... doesn't know half of the words, haha. And he just stopped randomly before the end of the song as if he forgot how it ended. But it was possibly the most lovable version of that song that I've heard so I have to hand it to him. 
Anyway. So the show was about five thousand times better than I was expecting it to be, especially seeing as how I was less than enthusiastic about Let Love In... but now that I've seen them do it live, I confess, the new stuff was pretty enjoyable (for the most part). I take back any bad stuff I said; because I really was disappointed about it for a while. But they've redeemed themselves.
They all looked good, they were definitely in good spirits, and things pretty much went off without a hitch. Gooood show.
(Oh, and I got a free Music is Art sampler CD at the end of the show because a whole bunch of them just randomly fell from the sky*!)
*actually I think the crazy people behind me just threw them in the air. But I'm gonna pretend it fell from the sky.
