    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.

    Funny you should mention this; I almost ordered the re-issued vinyl they have on amazon.com but it was getting a lot of negative reviews based on the quality of the vinyl. I didn't buy one based on some of those reviews.

    The version of "Wee Who See the Deep" absolutely kills. Is the DVD version the same show that's on the CD?

    Out of the shows I've downloaded from liveblackcrowes.com Glasgow 97, Norfolk 06, London 08 and Atlantic City 09 it's probably about the best yet. I'm not a fan of the mix sometimes with BC shows and have avoided a few on the strength of the consumer comments on the site but generally the quality is pretty good. Great setlist for St. Louis and it makes me very envious because I've not been to a BC show since the Amorica tour!

    As I listen to the wheels, hear them going round and round
    It reminds me of a train that still makes a lonely sound
    It reminds me of a girl that came from Knoxville town
    And how on that April day, when she took this old boy down

    Oh, Tennessee, you got me runnin'
    But I'm not comin' back this time
    Way out west, is where I'm going
    To forget the one I left behind

    Well, I might have seen Moses standing on the Penn State Line
    Just another wanderer with an angel on his mind
    I know love it has its reasons, the way it comes and it goes
    There's no mystery in seasons, or of this hard cold road

    Oh, Tennessee, you got me runnin'
    And I'm not comin' back this time
    Way out west, is where I'm going
    To forget the one I left behind

    Oh, Tennessee, you got me runnin'
    And I'm not comin' back this time

    Has no one been to one of the shows that had an opening act?
    I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be one at my show in Biloxi next week i can find no evidence of that being true. I checked both Truth&Salvage Co. and Band of Heathens....it won't be either of those.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Do you know if that show is a two-set show? I don't think those have opening acts.

    My sister saw them in Tulsa two weeks ago. It was a regular show and Buffalo Killers opened.

    I'm fairly certain it IS NOT a two-set show unfortunately. At least I'm pretty sure that's what it was when they first announced the tour...I know they've changed a couple of dates at least to two-setters that were orginally not planned to be though.

    Edit...well it's not Buffalo Killers either...they're in Ohio that night

    Edit #2: Hell, duh, stoopid. I just called the damn venue and they said it was to be all Crowes. So that made me happy

    Just to clear things up for you guys. Even if they are all electric shows with no opening act they are NOT EXTENDED ELECTRIC SHOWS. They will be 2 hours tops. I saw them in Jacksonville this week and they blew the fuckin roof off. Next night in Orlando, no opening act, still listed as an evening with but only electric. Show started at 8:35 and was over by 10:20. Great performance but the crowd was left wanting more and people were standing around for awhile in disbelief that the show was actually over. I thought for sure they would still rock out til 11:00 but oh well. So don't expect to get extra time on the electric only shows, there is a reason they are on average $20 cheaper.

    On another note, I can't wait for the two shows in November in Atlanta. and Everyone who goes to shows from now on needs to scream and plead for Cursed Diamond because the neglect they are giving that song which is easily one of their best has gone on long enough. FUCKIN PLAY THAT DAMN SONG ALREADY

    OK, wanted to give my reviews.

    Houston - this was a double set (acoustic/electric) and a 3 hour show. Absolutely blown away. I love the double set idea and don't know why they don't do it at every show. As usual they had a nice mix of hits, rarities and covers. The only complaint I have, and this is about all three shows I saw, is they basically ignored Warpaint and BTF/UTF and those are two of my favorites. But I had a list of songs I had to hear on this, my last Crowes show and I got many of them. Toni (my wife) and I lined up early for this one and almost got the rail, but not quite. Still it was close enough for eye contact and some winks and nods from Chris and Rich.

    Houston was the Rich Robinson show. For some reason, I could not hear Luther much. Rich was way loud and he ended up taking most of the solos. He unleashed a monster on Wiser Time. I have seen them many, many times. I am not sure I have ever heard Rich wail like that before. He has such an awesome tone.

    Was dying to hear Driving Wheel so I can't believe they pulled that one out!! Smile was a treat too as was Another Roadside Tragedy. Lots of songs from Three Snakes. I Just Want to See His Face is a Rolling Stones song they have never played. Rich on vocals.

    The only negative was this: The Black Crowes have implemented a no camera policy this year. You've seen the thread talking about cameras and video. Well, after Remedy, Chris goes, "I'd like to thank all of you who respected our wishes and didn't point your fucking technology at us all night. Except you sir (pointing a guy in the crowd), you are fucking douchebag." Apparently the guy took a lot of pics or was filming the whole thing.

    Also, Nonfiction is a set killer for me. I love the song, hate the 15 minute nothing-but-noise jam at the end. They have so many great jams. This is not one of them.

    I'll do Austin and Dallas later.

    Great man. I'm heading to Biloxi for Friday's show and I can't wait. Hope the set i get is even half that good.
    I would love to hear Driving Wheel myself. Looking forward to your other reviews.
