    god damn you! i was at that show but we got hung up in detroit rush hour traffic and missed their set :( i was SO looking forward to seeing them too... it was depressing.

    but robert randolph was pretty good and the black crowes were on top of their game as always. definitely lived up to my expectations. only slightly disappointed that soul singing wasn't played ;) also, was that an instrumental 'gone' jam they played in the early set with chris on harmonica? it soudned similar...


    I LUV Robert Randolph! I haven't seen him since they opened for Clapton yrs ago. I thought he was great last night for the time he had...they really let it go a lot more at at their own shows, but hey nothing to complain about here. I thought that they might get into a good jam when DBT came back out but they were still good!

    I liked the Crowes covering The Seeker and Let it Bleed....yah Soul Singing woulda been nice but I just got it in London a few months ago so I was okay and the covers at the London show was a Dylan and a Traffic so I got a great mix between the two shows.

    Hey the DBT said they'd be back to Detroit headlining their own gig so u can catch them then!!! I can't believe how empty the place was!?!

    yeah, the covers were good. i liked robert randolph but i think i was so anxious to see black crowes i couldnt focus, plus i was bummed about missing the truckers. much as i enjoyed him though, all the songs kinda blended together for me... might just be cos im not familiar with his work. loved their funk sound though.

    anyway, im moving to chicago in a week so no way can i make a truckers show in detroit next tour. hopefully they'll hit chicago though and ill catch them then.

    Also check out their first two albums, Gangstabilly and Pizza Deliverance. They have more of a country rock flavor than the all-out rock they now deliver. They also have many excellent songs such as The Living Bubba, Uncle Frank, One Of These Days, and Nine Bullets among others.
    Also check their site for fall tour dates this Tuesday.

    Saratoga 7/30 Set-

    Space City
    Lookout Mtn
    Easy on Yourself
    Feb 14
    Zip City
    Let Me Roll it to You (P McCartney)(Isbell singin)
    Sinkhole
    Let There be Rock

    Short but sweet. Cooley's "city songs" are amazing.

    Crowd wasn't that big, but reception was pretty good - Patterson was really jumping around all over the place.
    :D

    Nice...........They did "Let Me Roll it to You" as part of the set for their Friday after Thanksgiving show here in Birmingham.......nice.........However, it is strange seeing Lookout Mountain near the front of a set. I am used to it as an encore song. PBM is correct..........Zip City is always a treat.

    The small crowd for their set seems to be a theme running through most of these Black Crowes dates.

    I don't think those are it...those were up yesterday ;)

    I think they're suppose to announce their fall line up.

    Edit: Nevermind...I had to hit refresh...took me a minute...glad I wasn't the only one...other folks on Nine Bullets had problems too :)

    Damnit, nothing in Florida... So I am thinking, Macon maybe... or the two Tennesee dates towards the end of the tour.

    I'd like to hit the Nashville show, but the Memphis one is a better fit...I'd only have to take one day off of work.
