    bt.etree.org should still have it with a good number of seeders as well if you want to torrent it....I think I got that show at something like 200 kb/s for the entire time.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Love the Crowes!!!!! Saw them for the first time in '95 at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Awesome Show. Only own the first four albums but am unable to pick a favorite between Amorica,Southern.., or Three Snakes. Yes, Shake Your Moneymaker is at the bottom of my list, but hey so is Ten!

    The Crowes are probably my favorite band right now (I'm sure it'll change when PJ starts touring though). I saw um like 10 times on the 05 tour and the NYE gig talkd about in this thread was amazing. I'll see um again when they hit Asheville and Atlanta in March. The only thing that sucks is that Ed may be out (probably is) out of the band. The acoustic tour looks great, but i doubt it'll come tot he south.

    Fucking LOVE the Crowes. Listening to Amorica now. That's my favorite album of theirs.

    One of my favorite bands. Excited to see what comes out of them being in the studio with George Drakoulias.
  • ZodZod Posts: 10,659
    I only saw them live once.  Opening for Tom Petty.  I also have a rule to not judge a band that's playing an opening slot as most of the people are there to see a different band.

    I will say at the Tom Petty show, more people were paying attention to Kate Hudson hanging out a the side of the stage than they were the Black Crowes :)

    I saw them a bunch of times between 2008 and 2013 and they were just a phenomenal live band. You take for granted the bands that can keep it together and continue on. I'll go see this new version if/when the venues are smaller and prices are lower.

    Saw them opening for Neil Young in 2001

    Lions is a great album and they sounded great

    Reading Steve Gorman's book. Don't think I ever before read 150 pages in a day.

    Lions and By Your Side are both better than Amorica.

    I always liked the Black Crowes until I saw them live.
    Maybe it was an off-night for them, but they sounded terrible.

    At 2 points in their history there was not a better band playing music imo. Will not see them again and I am ok with that.

    Love the Gorman book but that last sentence is bonkers to me. I love both of those records, probably more than most. But not only is Amorica my favorite Crowes album it’s definitely in my all time top 10. It’s perfection from top to bottom and the piano outro on Descending to end the album gives me chills every single time.

    Thanks for the tip on this @Spiritual_Chaos I'm about 2/3 the way thru...good interview on both fronts - Chris asks good questions too. On a handful of occasions Chris starts to make Black Crowes-related remarks and Bill talks over him....I wish in those instances Bill woulda stfu and let Chris elaborate

    Amorica is bland and swagger-less.

    It’s way better than I expected but think it could have been amazing with Gorman & Ford.
