    They sound good?


    I have been severly disappointed in the sound of most of the official boots, especially lately. The Dallas one from last year is unlistenable. Vocals and keys way too high in the mix. Can barely hear Rich. Can't hear much of Steve at all.

    Are the official bootlegs pretty varied in sound and quality? I picked up one from 96 or 97 and I like it quite a bit and was thinking about picking up some newer ones. Now I'm all afraid...

    the SLC one from 2009 isn't all that bad, but I also bought the Connecticut show from 2009 and it could've been mixed better I think.

  • Who has watched the Cabin Fever dvd? I just ordered it. Is it cool or is that a stoopid question? :D

    It's pretty cool I like the behind the scenes and in between songs stuff. Some of the tracks included on their are cool too, some good covers on that DVD.

    Definitely a good purchase for a Crowes fan.

  • A while back I resigned myself to skipping the Biloxi show based solely on monetary reasons and I've been very remorseful about that. Been feeling pretty lame because who knows when (or if) I'll ever have another chance to see the Crowes!!
    So, my remorse was eating at me today so I checked for tickets...can still get general admission tix right in front of the stage, so, DAMN IT, I'm going. Debt be damned. You only live once, right?

    Very. I've got some that sound incredible. Some, not so much.

    I think its incredible really. I wish it was a little longer, but for Oh Sweet Nuthin' and Dolphins it is worth it. Shine Along is great too. I love the version they do on there. Been A Long Time kicks ass.

    Fuck yes!!

    My sister has attended many Crowes shows back in the day with me, before I met my wife and after my fellow Crowes fans sort of drifted off. We have seen probably 12 shows together. Well, she is married now and lives in Tulsa, OK. The Crowes played Tulsa last night and unleashed this on them. She took her husband to the show and they now have a new fan!!

    Last song – something in the chorus about “don’t break my heart.” Not sure, didn’t recognize that one. It was an upbeat, funky little number. Very cool whatever it was.

    That was Don't Do It. As popularized by Marvin Gaye! And I think The Band recorded it too.

    I've been really struggling on whether to commit to San Fran... :?

    It's obvious that I'll be squeezing by on finances and could really use the money it'll take to get there...but, at the same time because of the concert lover and huge Crowes fan I am...I already see the remorse that I would feel if I don't go.

    God damnit...

    Well I got tickets last night. And I'm so glad I did. I got two but at this point I don't know for sure if anybody is going to be able to go with me on such short notice. Maybe you need to jet down to Mizzip and go with me DC. I'll go by my damn self if I have to

    Just got an email from Stubb's in Austin informing me that the Black Crowes show in Austin is now An Evening with The Black Crowes. No opening act. Yay!!!

    So I will get the acoustic/electric set Friday in Houston, an extended electric set Saturday in Austin, and a standard show with an opening act Sunday in Dallas.

    Can't wait!!

    That's cool. I'm pretty sure the one I'm going to is not "An Evening With.." so does that mean there will be an opening band for certain? Who has been opening when there have been openers?

    I am not sure. I know the opener in Dallas is Band of Heathens. I listened to some of their stuff on their web site and they sound a little like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

    I saw Truth & Salvage Company open for TBC and I am very glad I did. Picked up their album as well.

    Yeah, they're great! That's the best opening band I have seen the Crowes have in a long time. I could not stand Buffalo Killers and some of those other guys they were running out there.

    Put this little tidbit in one of the vinyl threads, so figured some people here might be interested...If anybody was wondering about particulars, just ask

    The Southern Harmony... reissue is pretty solid, The sound isn't as good as it could be. There is some mud in a few of the denser moments, but it's quiet as a mouse and there is some good separation most of the time. Still has alotta high points(it peaks on Thorn In My Pride). I've read there are quality control issues, but mine was fine.
  • just thought i might say thanks to everyone in this thread and those who contributed to the other black crowes thread for getting me on to some great new music :D
