Counting Crows’ departure from longtime record label Geffen in 2009 didn’t mean the end of their career in music. The group — whose last CD, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, came out in 2008 — is currently on its “Traveling Circus and Medicine Show,” despite no new album release. With a lengthy catalogue of hit pop-alt numbers to back them, along with their reputation for energetic performances, that seems to be all they need for the time being. $30.50-$56. 7:30 p.m. Road Runner Mobile Amphitheatre, 820 Hamilton St. 704-549-5555. www.livenation.com.
