Singing in the rain
Inclement weather doesnít dampen ballpark concert with three bands

Had the Curve been on the field Tuesday night at Blair County Ballpark, gray skies and heavy rain probably would’ve cleared the field and closed the gates.

But thankfully for thousands of concertgoers who flocked here, rock ’n’ roll is rain or shine.

It was a fitting backdrop perhaps for the Counting Crows dreadlocked frontman Adam Duritz who made moody hits out of “Daylight Fading” and “Rain King” in the mid-1990s.

“Thank you so much for coming out in all this rain,” Duritz said.

“You proud and dedicated souls,” added Charlie Gillingham, the band’s keyboardist, minutes before the band jumped into a set list that included familiar hits such as “Mr. Jones.”

Their stop in Logan Township was part of a minor league baseball stadium tour that easily could have been called 1994 Revisited.

Live and Collective Soul, two other bands that shared the stage with them Tuesday, also released breakthrough albums that year, selling millions of copies and yielding several hits that made each band MTV staples for years.

Both revisited those hits Tuesday — with Collective Soul ending their set with “Shine,” a track that helped them sell two million copies of their debut album “Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid” more than a decade earlier.

Live, known for their spiritual lyrics and hits like “I Alone” and “All Over You,” mixed tracks from their second album, “Throwing Copper,” with new ones, while frontman Ed Kowalcyzk implored the crowd to sing along.

Midway through “I Alone,” he urged fans to send a “psycho-cosmic Earth vibe” of love to troops overseas.

“The Earth needs a little love right now,” he said, minutes before sliding into the ballad “Lightning Crashes,” which seemed to encourage a heavier downpour.

It was a nuisance J.T. Dubosky of State College was determined to put up with.

“We’ve seen them four times before,” his mother, Susan Dubosky added, noting she first took her son to see Live when he was in fifth grade. “Now, he takes me.”

Ballpark staff initially estimated that about 3,100 attended the event but then said they were still working on an estimate about 9:15 pm while the headlining Crows were getting started.

As the night went on, frequent downpours pushed a growing crowd away from the outfield, where the stage was set up, and under the roof, where vendors were selling beer, wings and ice cream.

A few hundred faithful stayed close to the stage — some of them tossing glow sticks or dancing.

“It’s raining everywhere this week, so it’s no big deal,” said Artrell Hawkins Sr. who drove with friends from Johnstown to see the show. “I’ve got my poncho. I’m enjoying myself.”
