    It was hilarious, we saw them last week and when they came out on stage, Jen says "God, what a bunch of hippies."

    :lol::lol:

    Love how Adam went from nice looking clean cut young man in about 2008 to full on hippie now days. I imagine being on the road with Chris and the gangs will do that to a fellow...

    Hey Matt, maybe I'll meet you in Portland; I'm eyeballing that show as well.

    I didn't recognize Adam at first. Yeah, I'm assuming that spending time on the road with Chris and the gangs and being exposed to all that weed will encourage you to grow your hair out and just say "fuck it, being a hippie is easier". :lol:

    Both nights I saw them in Ohio Adam walked on stage smoking a bowl. All he needs now is start talking non-stop about aliens and the cosmos like Chris to go full on hippie. :lol:

    I downloaded that show. It is the best sounding show I have heard by them. Very well done.

    Yeah, Chris as something different to say like that every time. Hilarious.

    I thought both Ohio shows just sound fantastic.

    Hit the Tulsa show at Cain's Ballroom the other night. The place was packed. I mean packed. This was the biggest crowd I have seen for this band so far. And of course they didn't disappoint. I haven't seen them live since last year and they have only gotten tighter as time has gone on.

    Tomorrow Blues
    Reflections On A Broken Mirror
    Tough Mama
    Little Lizzie Mae
    Appaloosa

    Blue Suede Shoes

    - Set Two -

    Sunday Sound
    100 Days Of Rain
    Never Been To Spain
    Vibration And Light Suite
    Ride
    Rosalee
    - encore -
    Tumbleweed In Eden
    Mr. Charlie

    Show was 3.5 hours. For $17!!! Don't miss this show. You just can't beat it.

    A little disappointed in the track listing. Don't really want the ol' Crowes songs on there even if CR did write them. What about Badlands Here We Come? That song kicks ass and I'm pretty sure is a Brotherhood original.

    Saw them play Birmingham last nite. They've got a vibe going that's unlike anything else out there IMHO. Even played a cover of Bertha :D . The interplay b/t Neil and Chris is intergalactically good. Neil is a monster on guitar and CR, while not as adroit, is equally soulful in the sounds he pulls out of his six string. It's been a good week of tunes having seen two of my most favorites, PJ and now CR, in the same week. Interesting comparing the two scenes....I'll take a small intimate family-style gig over a massive festival any day of the week. Makes me excited for the eV solo shows. I hope PJ at some point tours smallish venues...may be hard to score tix but would be aural bliss for those present.

    How's the new album? Need to pick it up, just wasn't that impressed with the last one. I love guitar jams, but I felt like alot of it was just mindless noodling. Sure it would be great live, but I think for a studio album it gets a little tedious. Don't think it plays too well to CR's strengths. The songs seemed like reasons to jam and I don't feel like they really go anywhere. For me if a song is gonna be over 5 minutes long it's needs more movement, and I've always thought of CR as a song first kinda writer with his best stuff. I much prefer his first 2 solo efforts from the first hiatus.

    The new album, The Magic Door, IMHO is smokin'. It's an excellent companion piece the FMR and a wee mellower. If you didn't like FMR this record is probably not for you. While we agree that CR is a good songwriter, CRB seems to be more focused on the feeling, the jam and ability of the song to take you places. The lyrics are even more straightforward than some of The New Earth Mud stuff but the main emphasis seems to be on the greater song as a musical piece. CRB's style is not designed to fit into a five minute song....I think that's one of the main points of who they are as a band.

    I respectfully disagree that the first album doesn't play to CR's strengths....methinks it's in his wheelhouse. He's a hippy at heart (heck, last night he wore high-top, lace-up moccasins) and this style music is an extension and good representation of who he is. The music doesn't get as overtly funky as say 'Horsehead', but it's still super soulful stuff that affords him room to put his spin on R&B/blues.

    The new album has both the song in 'Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go' and the jam in the 'Vibration & Light Suite'. They're a jam band no doubt, and their sound is deeply informed by the Dead, but they've managed to find a groove that's unique and original. Chris has really come into his own as a guitarist and I think that's a quality he's trying to express in this new format.
