black crowes appreciation thread!!!

[sailor]

stedman likes the black crowes. how 'bout you?

[Stedman]

boooooooo


stupid thread.

[Tall_James]

I like me some Black Crowes.

[The Nature Boy]

The greatest rockband since the G'NR heyday, despite their peaks and valleys. 92-97 and 2005-6 I would put their shows up with ANY ever done, and I think only the Stones tours of1969-1972, any of the Beatles Shows, Zeppelin 73 and the Who's late 60's shows would really to that period.

The Crowes are outstanding and I haven't looked this forward to a new album since Kid A or Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

[Stedman]

theres gonna be a new Crowes album?



hell i may be interested in this thread all of a sudden

[Stedman]

wow, i had no idea.


i just listened to the first single (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3ooPqYYcUow) and its better than i'd expected from them after such a long break.

[sailor]

ha! showed you.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

if Stedman likes the Crowes, how can I not

[Stedman]

I like you're attitude

[EddieMoscone]

I've seen the Crowes a few times, always great. Blew away Oasis (cocky bastards) on that battling brothers tour years ago.

Here's a link to a story on MOG (lifted from the Black Crowes site) about Maxim reviewing the album even though advance copies had not even been made available yet:

[JerseyRich]

Me like.

Going to see them next Sunday.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Me like.

Going to see them next Sunday.

what are you taking a time machine back to 1999 to see them

[Stedman]

Maxim is only good for 14 year olds to jack to.

i looked at their tour dates and they're not coming within 4 hours of me so i dont guess i'll be seeing the Crowes anytime soon.

[Furtherman]

Love 'em. Their last concert at The Beacon before their hiatus a few years ago was one of the best I've ever seen.

I saw them at the new place up in Harlem a couple months ago and I'm seeing them next Tuesday at Irving Plaza! NICE... haven't been there in a long time.

[DolaMight]

Black Crows rule, they're the best

The Black Crowes was the first real concert I ever went to. It was 1990 in Jacksonville, Florida. What a great band they were. And now that they have Luther Dickinson of the GREAT North Mississippi Allstars; its ON!!!!

If you have never seen Luther Dickinson play slide, go see him either with the Crowes, but especially with the Allstars. He is a true Southern-American badass in the spirit of Duane Allman.


I love the Crowes----always have, always will.

wrong crows the Black CrowEs:wallbash::smoke::drunk:

[Furtherman]

What an awesome show last night. First of all, it was great to see them in such a small venue again. I haven't seen them that close up in over 10 years at least. They sounded great and played their whole new album, which kept me in my place the entire time. I really liked it and will be purchasing it today. After a short break, the came back with Sting Me and Sometimes Salvation. Rich Robinson sang a very Dead-ish tune that I really enjoyed. The last two songs of the night - and I must find out what they were - just kicked ass and blew the roof off. And they finished at a reasonable 11:30 so I'm not too tired today. Nice.

Anyone else Catching the Crowes this tour I'm going to Hampton Beach NH and the 3 shows in Philly. If you buddies are going maybe we can hookup. CYA

[A.J.]

I got invited to join some friends last night to see the Crowes at Wolftrap (which, BTW, I had never been to in all my years down here. Great venue -- I'm thinking of going back in two weeks to see the Mike and Bruce show...er, I mean The Beach Boys).

Anyway, a perfect night weather-wise and a very cool show. They did a great version of "Remedy" that had a jam that sounded very much like the Stones' "Midnight Rambler". They finished the show with a kick-ass version of fellow Georgian Little Richard's "Keep A-Knockin'."

I didn't know they had Luther Dickinson playing with them. That's cool. I wonder why there was no taping at Irving Plaza. Was it the venue or the band that made that decision?

[Furtherman]

I'll be rockin' with the brothers Robinson this Saturday at the Stone Pony.

Black Crowes - “Jealous Again”

Blatant rip-off!

Pretty ballsy of the Black Crowes to sue anyone else for ripping them off.

[Furtherman]

Pretty ballsy of the Black Crowes to sue anyone else for ripping them off.

Yea, yea, I've heard... without the Faces, no Black Crowes.

But the Faces aren't touring. And the Crowes always put on a kick ass concert. To see them at The Pony will be greatness.

[TheMojoPin]

It's just Faces.

[Furtherman]

It's just Faces.

You're just feces.

[TheMojoPin]

Well, I'm beat.

[JerseyRich]

Meh.

We've had a falling out. With Warpaint, I just couldn't get into any of the songs...they had no emotional connection with me.

And this new record is a cool gimmick (Recorded 100% LIVE in front of a small group of fans at Levon Helm's studio)...but the songs are just nothing again for me. They're trying too hard...and Chris' vocals just don't do it for me anymore.

And for a while I was seeing their shows like crazy. I guess I've just outgrown them. :down:

[Furtherman]

I. Will. Have. Fun.

[Enabler]

Im leaving work in a half hour to see them tonight in Central park. Actually Im only going to see Levon Helm open up for them but I may stick around for half their set to see some Luther Dickinson. Never seen Black Crowes before but Ive never been a fan either.

[JerseyRich]

I. Will. Have. Fun.

Outdoor shows are extra fun...if ya know what I'm sayin'. :smoke:

I've seen Levon Helm the past three years at his Beacon shows. Probably the best rock n' roll shows I've even seen.

[Enabler]

Maybe.

I've seen Levon Helm the past three years at his Beacon shows. Probably the best rock n' roll shows I've even seen.

The show I saw in Montclair last winter was epic.

[SatCam]

but the songs are just nothing again for me. They're trying too har

would you say theyre trying twice as hard?

That's for the fat guy sports thread.

How do you not love this song?

How do you not love the dual vocals?

How about the 12 string guitar?

Black Crowes are amazing!

[ToiletCrusher]

I've seen them 5 times.

Each show seems very intimate.

Story telling, beautiful lyrics, hard rock (southern style).

[west milly Tom]

Top 3 live acts for me. Best show I ever saw Jimmy Paige and the black crows opener Kenny Wayne Shepard at PNC, but every time is awesome.

[ToiletCrusher]

Too 3 live acts for me. Best show I ever saw Jimmy Paige and the black crows opener Kenny Wayne Shepard at PNC, but every time is awesome.

I am jealous. I missed that tour.

But, they sure put on a show.

[beachbum]

I lived in Atlanta for most of my teens and twenties.I've seen the Crowes 8 times including 2 club gigs, when Shake Your Moneymaker first broke, where there were less than 100 people allowed in the club.They played as Mr.Crowes Garden.I also saw them at the Great Atlanta Pot Festival.

Still love them today.

[JohnCharles]

Great version live.
