It sure would. I'm hoping they will do another one and expand it a little bit...I think it was only like 7 shows they did before.
While we wait though...you oughta familiarize yourself with the North Mississippi Allstars if you haven't already. Luther will be staying busy whether Chris and Rich will or not
I am familiar with N.M. Allstars...sweet bluesy stuff. Haven't heard much, but what I have I really really enjoyed. Knowing Luther was in on it really made me search for them.
Am I the only one who feels that Luther is incredibly underrated? Did a great job filling the void of Marc Ford.
He is the best of the post Marc Ford guitarists, that is for sure. Pre-Ford too I guess. Better than Jeff Cease, Audley Freed, Paul Stacey, etc. If they decided to do something after this hiatus I would be happy with the current lineup. Ford will never come back.
You know who is underrated? Sven. That guy is perfect on bass. And he has been in the band a long time now. So long that I don't even think about Johnny Colt anymore.

I recently sawthat Johnny Colt is now somewhat of like a freelance writer on CNN.com? He has his own sub-page there, I'm sure of it. Has a lot of documentary work if I remember like photography, actual video, writing...
Anyway, Sven is totally perfect. Everything I've heard of him live he really brings it and plays solid.
What happened that would make Ford never return?

A bit of topic but as I roamed around the blogosphere I came across this band earlier today. Chris produced their album and they are on Silver Arrow....four tracks on the site and sounds great to me. Check em out.
I actually remember reading a bit about them somewhere a while back but didn't take much from whatever it was I read
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

I saw them open for the Crowes a couple of times. Good stuff.

Well, depending on which side you believe, he was fired in 1997 for drug use affecting his playing ability. He returned in 2005 but quit in 2006 on the eve of a tour citing his problems remaining sober. But he quit by fax machine and hasn't spoken to the brothers since. So, he's been in the band twice and both stints ended badly.

Where are you seeing them?
Columbus, Oh. The LC Pavilion. Little concert venue that has capabilities for indoor or outdoor shows using the same stage. Saw them there 2 years ago outdoors. Good time.

It's great having the material, but I think 20 tunes is too much for Croweology, too much for one listen anyway. Everything just blends together a little too much.
It's not really Luther's finest hour and it kinda highlights for me why people still point to the Marc Ford eras as the best.I'm pretty sure Luther cant hang with MF and takin the electric outta his hands makes it more apparent. This is coming from somebody that likes the new stuff stuff as much as anything they've done. In his defense classic rock style lead isn't his thing so it's prolly as much bad song selection by Chris and Rich as anything.

Luther is a perfect fit for them for the direction they have taken with Warpaint and BTF/UTF. But I don't like his tone on the older songs. He can play the notes and that's great, but he doesn't get that searing, overdriven, Strat sound that Marc gets. I think you nailed it though with the lead style comment - he isn't from a classic rock background.
I am not sure how Marc would have worked on the newer stuff or if it would have ended up like it did. When he left the second time they basically scrapped a whole album's worth of ideas and came up with fresh ones for Warpaint. Guess we will never know.
Marc has been and always will be one of my all time favorite players, but I like Luther a lot and think he fits the band.

Definitely dig what he does on the newer stuff. I'm also glad he doesn't just slap a jcm800 into his rig for Ford-era stuff, and puts his own flavor on it instead.
I agree he fits the band for what they are doin now, and they are aging alot better than their peers as far as new music goes. It seems to really have a natural flow to it. Not like SOME band we all know and love(and gather around here for).

You guys have both pointed out the great, and crucial differences between Marc and Luther. They're both incredible players int heir own right...and they both have different styles and flavors.
I definitely agree that Luther is probably the best pick the brothers could've made for the direction that they've taken from 2007 forward...Marc however, made a huge contribution to putting the Crowes on the map, where they've been...and will remain to be for years to come.
I don't think Luther has ever tried to fill Marc's shoes, but taking over lead guitar duties in The Black Crowes isn't exactly a small job...and I respect, and give Luther huge props for being successful, and effectively infusing his own style, sound, and presence into the band.

Went to opening night of the tour on Friday in Milwaukee. All I can say, is that everyone who gets a chance to see the acoustic/electric shows are in for a treat! Great energy from start to finish and Chris' voice sounded stronger than ever. There was something for every Crowes fan. Old songs, new songs, greatest hits, extended jams, solos, etc. Acoustic set highlights for me were Remedy(opener), She Talks to Angels(holy shit! Chris fuckin' nailed it!) Whoa Mule, and My Morning Song. During MMS, it truly felt like Chris was the preacher, and the crowd was his congregation! During the electric set, highlights for me were Progress Jam/Thorn, and the high energy I Ain't Hidin'/Jealous Again/No Speak No Slave/Hard to Handle ending that left the crowd wanting more, even after 3 hrs!
If it is truly the last time I get to see The Crowes live, I'd have to say they are definatley going out like champions. Enjoy the shows fellas!

I love reading this about the crowes by pearl jam fans all i read about them else where slams them by their own fan none the less. The above poster nailed it i am lucky enough to go to indy and chicago also but milwaukee was way great and if you get a chance i would suggest going my 2 cents.

We had a really long thread going about them for awhile, but I guess we migrated to this one!
I hate visiting any board related to the Crowes. Most of them bitch more than PJ fans.

I saw that set on Facebook and was blown away. You got a killer show!!
I can't wait. I am seeing them three nights in a row in September. The first show is the acoustic/electric split set. The next two are electric only.

Definitely dig what he does on the newer stuff. I'm also glad he doesn't just slap a jcm800 into his rig for Ford-era stuff, and puts his own flavor on it instead.
I agree he fits the band for what they are doin now, and they are aging alot better than their peers as far as new music goes. It seems to really have a natural flow to it. Not like SOME band we all know and love(and gather around here for).
You guys have both pointed out the great, and crucial differences between Marc and Luther. They're both incredible players int heir own right...and they both have different styles and flavors.
I definitely agree that Luther is probably the best pick the brothers could've made for the direction that they've taken from 2007 forward...Marc however, made a huge contribution to putting the Crowes on the map, where they've been...and will remain to be for years to come.
I don't think Luther has ever tried to fill Marc's shoes, but taking over lead guitar duties in The Black Crowes isn't exactly a small job...and I respect, and give Luther huge props for being successful, and effectively infusing his own style, sound, and presence into the band.

If it is truly the last time I get to see The Crowes live, I'd have to say they are definatley going out like champions. Enjoy the shows fellas!
We had a really long thread going about them for awhile, but I guess we migrated to this one!
I hate visiting any board related to the Crowes. Most of them bitch more than PJ fans.

I saw that set on Facebook and was blown away. You got a killer show!!
I can't wait. I am seeing them three nights in a row in September. The first show is the acoustic/electric split set. The next two are electric only.
