r/blackcrowes

Are not welcome here. Report these cancerous shit heads and I'll remove them.

This is a place to discuss how much we hate our favorite band, not to defend an 80 year old rapist who shits his pants on the reg.

EDIT:

The lead singer doesn't like you either by the way

"I know what's right and what's wrong, and this shit going on right now is wrong"

-Chris Robinson

Recently went to see The Black Crowes in SLC. Rich didn't really look like he wanted to be there. Everytime Chris would point at him or acknowledge him (which was rare), he completely ignored him.

Rich never seemed to acknowledge Chris at all, almost like it was completely on purpose. He didn't even look at him.

I could be looking into it too much. Let me know what you think!

As someone who has seen the band dozens of times over the years, I tell you the Black Crowes still bring it. In my opinion, Chris’ voice is holding up great and and is one of the last great front men in Rock n Roll. If you’re debating on whether to go - go!

Setlist was as expected for a co-headliner - sort of like a festival (greatest hits) set, which isn’t bad. Wiser Time and Thorn in my Pride were mega-jam sessions and another highlight for me was Stare it Cold towards the end.

That being said, I’m not sure an arena show lends well to the band these days. The entire upper level was empty/blocked off , and the lower bowl was at about 80% capacity. This creates a much different vibe than the 3-5 thousand seat theatres they’ve been playing recently. Although the band still brought it - the energy from the crowd just wasn’t there; which has to have some effect on the band. In fact Chris, bitched at the audience before the encore about the lack of energy on a Saturday night.

I’ll continue to see them live as I truly believe no one does it better, but hope next time around it’s a smaller venue. Long live the Crowes!

would love to see them and TTB rip!!

I haven't seen the black crowes since 2001 when I saw them on the tour of brotherly love in Santa Barbara and both LA shows. I was there to see Oasis, but enjoyed the crowes as well.

I was looking at tickets and noticed how many there were still left. Is the concert in danger of getting cancelled? It seems most of the venues on the tour aren't selling well.

I know nothing about the other band as well. I'm 50/50.

I would love to the robinson brothers but paying that price for only 14-15 songs is making me second guess. Wish they weren't co headlining but I understand that's what they need now to draw crowds at these kinds of venues.

Shit weather caused a rain delay. They played for under an hour and with 1-2 exceptions, it was a greatest hits set. Sounded amazing of course but the weather robbed us of what was going to be an amazing show.

Looks like they started this Hard Rock show with a strong nod to the Three Snakes 30th Anniversary. That’s pretty cool.

Plus Wounded Bird is such a good song.

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion was The Black Crowes' sophomore album in 1992.

It starts with two album openers, Sting Me and Remedy, which are basically the same song. Remedy kills but it sounds like Sting Me. They're equally good but 10 minutes is a very long song. All of the other tracks are more different. (See Led Zeppelin 4.)

They bury my favorite songs on the album. Thorn in my Pride used to be my favorite song on the album. I'm an Axis: Bold as Love type of fool. It's a candidate for the second track. Shout out to Chris Trujillo on congas.

All of the songs are about a breakup or being burned. I guess you could call it blues-rock. The lyrics bite like Dylan.

I didn't love this album the first time I played it. Here's another 6 minute song. And now we're Screaming Jay.

Chris Robinson has two types of vocals: yelling and shouting. Should out to Barbara Mitchell and Taj Artis in the choir.

To be continued...

Side 2.

Sometimes Salvation picks up just where Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye left off. It's a banger, sure, but somehow it feels like the longest track even if it's under 6 minutes.

I always feel like the Crowes are more like The Faces than the Stones, but Hotel Illness is straight off Exile on Main St.

Black Moon Creeping is so deep it makes no impact, and No Speak No Slave is once again almost the same song. Is this supposed to be a metaphor for brothers? If the song didn't pause I would assume it's one song. Anyway props to Marc Ford for keeping my limited attention.

They saved the best for last, My Morning Song, and the good part starts in the end of the song. I think I've detected a pattern.

Time Will Tell is not a great track, but it's a Marley cover and I consider it the hidden bonus track.

9/10

Does anybody remember this show? It was my first time seeing the guys in concert and it was the best but far. As I remember it, Adam sat on a stool and wove everything together as the most beautiful, saddening story I've ever heard. Maybe it was just that period in my life (I was only 20) but I remember crying for the whole freaking concert, amazed that someone could convey such strong emotions into live music... Now I've been to many more shows and concerts over the years... But, this one is (Next to my first time seeing Goose) was by far one of the most meaningful...

I can't find a taping of this show anywhere. Of anyone knows about it, or was there to talk about it (pictures would absolutely rock) I'd like to hear about it!!
