Concert Stories #33: Sheryl Crow with James Blunt

BMO Harris Bradley Center

Age 25

In 2008 I saw Sheryl Crow perform at the Bradley Center while on tour in support of her album Detours with my friend Shannon.  Crow is a great musician and has a good back catalog, but this was one of the more low key concerts I've been too.  My main takeaway of the concert was that it was a nice evening, she sounded great and I didn't get all sweaty dancing, so that was a positive.  

Opening for her was "Toots and the Maytals", who I barely recall as some sort of reggae band. Which may sound like an odd pairing with Crow, but it does match her laid back style.  Also opening was James Blunt of "You're Beautiful" fame.  He sounded good and did an okay performance.

Overall this was a nice pairing of different artists, but one could say it was not incredibly memorable, and that is okay sometimes.
