    They kickass! I saw em open for Petty this past summer and they played some great tunes, no She Talks To Angels, but kickass none the less.

    Huge Crowes Fan. I saw them 5 times on this past tour.
    Mr. Crowes Garden - Northhampton Mass
    3/23 Hammerstein Show
    Easter Sunday Hammerstein Show
    Hartford with Tom Petty
    9/30 Philly show.

    I am debating whether or not go see them on NYE at the Garden. Amorica and Southern Harmony are my 2 favorite albums.

    I've been seeing the Black Crowes live since 1991. I have to say, honestly, 2005 has been one of their best touring years. For real. Of course, it helps to have Marc Ford back on stage. It's the equivilent of having Mike McCready out of PJ for 8 years, then he is back! Very exciting.

    such a good band...love those first three albums but they went down hill after Amorica
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    I even like the 4th album (3 Snakes). definitley downhill after that! Although, the word is that they are recording early next year. Chance to redeem!

    Downhill after 3 Snakes?...I thought Lions is rockin' album. Come on, "Soul Singin'" that in itself makes the album worthwhile. But yeah, great rock n roll band, Southern Harmony is an awesome album. Glad to hear potential for a new record is out there.
    What?!? No, We can't stop here, this is bat country.

    Three Snakes is OK, but 'OK' is still downhill from amazing albums such as Shake Your Money Maker, Southern Harmony, and Amorica. I want an album like those three.

    "Descending" is one of my favorite songs of alltime. Amazing.

    some of the best guitar tone all around every laid down on stage or recorded.

    Love the Crowes, certified gear nuts. This past tour was excellent.

    I also want another great album by the Crowes. We'll see what they come up with in 2006!

    Amorica and Southern Harmony are masterpices. 3 snakes and by your side have some really good songs - Good Friday, Girl from a Pawn Shop, Go Faster, etc.

    Had front row seats in Ashville in front of Marc Ford - awesome. Before the concert, my buddy pre-purchased a recording of the concert. He got it about 20 minutes after the concert - awesome sound quality.

    Also saw them in a small venue in Raleigh (the Disco Rodeo). Got the setlist. My wife and I spoke to the new drummer after the show for about ten minutes and I got the impression from him that the Robinsons weren't especially pleased with his drumming. I think Steve Gorman is a pretty hard act to follow. Gorman did some seriously good drum rolls on Southern Harmony. The new drummer also told us that Gorman had invested wisely in the stock market and hit it big and wasn't interested in touring.

    Wish I could have seen them another 5 to 10 times. Hope they tour in 06 but I think they played over a hundred shows in 05. Like PJ, the setlist varies greatly. If I had the money, I would love to see them in NYC New Year's Eve.

    I find it amusing that through the years, music critics have dubbed Aerosmith as the American version of the Rolling Stones. I like Aerosmith (especially old Aerosmith - Get Your Wings, Rocks, Toys in the Attic) but there are so many Black Crowes tunes that would fit in, on say - Exile on Main Street, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet, etc.

    I would really like to see PJ, Tool and the Black Crowes as often as possible in 06.

    Peace

    I couldn't tell but in case you didn't know Steve Gorman is back.

    I'm a big Crowes fan. Southern Harmony is fucking brilliant. To concur with someone else, that album does conatin some of the best guitar and bass tones ever.

    By Your Side was kind of weak, compared to what they can do. . . even though "Horse Head" is a fucking monster of a song.

    But how can a Crowes fan not dig on Lions? I love that album! "Midnight from the Inside Out," "Soul Singing," "Greasy Grass River." All awesome songs.

    Good, solid rock band...I like these guys a lot. I don't get into their studio stuff that much just because I think they translate better as a live band much like Grateful Dead. I highly recommend 2005-12-31 MSG....a real nice Wiser Time on that one.

    I agree that Southern Harmony is brilliant. It's one of my all time faves. I saw them live a few times in the 90's and they were flawless. They don't disappoint.

    I don't care if I already posted in this thread!!!

    I just had Shake Your Money Maker rockin' in the car, and By Your Side yesterday!!!

    The Black Crowes are probably one of the best "Rock and Roll" bands around today!!!

    I was lucky enough to be right against the bar in front of Rich in Toronto :D:D

    I love them man, one of my favourites for sure!!!

    have seem them a cupple times incl last summer with petty.. what can you say about this gospel sounding rock band?

    Excellence! Black Crowes's rock and soul!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Acoustic Tour, that would be cool to catch...
  • eyes of the worldeyes of the world Posts: 100
    I hope Ed is still in the band. 05 tour was smoking especially once Steve Gorman came back. Hopefully the Robinson brothers learn from that and keep Ed in the band. The accoustic tour sounds pretty sweet. Hopefully the whole band will enter the studio and make a new album.

    Any album with "How Much For Your Wings" is an amazing album.

    By your side is my favorite, followed by Southern Harmony.

    Seen em twice. Once in 01 on their farewell tour of sorts and once last summer with Petty. Needless to say they shoulda closed the show.

    Best to take a pleasant trip over to Crowes message board - someone over there might hook you up if you ask nicely enough.
