I know there's gotta be some fans here.

Just scored FOS tickets on a Jazz Fest weekend in New Orleans.  :areyoufuckingserious

Yep. I'm a fan since 1990. I think Jackie Greene is going to be a nice addition to the lineup. I do wish they had a new album...

That Warpaint dvd is very, very good!

Southern Harmony and Three Snakes And One Charm are amazing. Those albums aside, I think they are a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong: I like that band, but they are good not great. Saw them live 6 or 7 times. Most of the time in Paradiso, Amsterdam. Lost track of them after By Your Side.  

SAINT SWAY IS A DEVOTEE.
AINT HEARD NOTHIN I LIKED FROM THEM SINCE AMORICA.
IT DONE BEEN OVER.

Warpaint is one of the greatest records of the past 30 years, as is Southern Harmony.

Where's Saint Sway? Isn't he the designated Crow Head around here?

I’ m a huge fan of the amazing « Before the Frost, Until the freeze » …just check this double LP, it’ s a masterpiece indeed..far better than Warpaint!!!!  :whydontcha :weed :weed

Not sure if I'd call it a masterpiece, but far superior to Warpaint.  

The Black Crowes are coming to a town near you in the US this spring (at least on the east coast) and will be releasing an album of songs tracked during their NYC run in 2010.  

Here is the press release:

THE BLACK CROWES
RETURN TO THE ROAD IN 2013
WITH THE FIRST LEG OF THEIR
“LAY DOWN WITH NUMBER 13” WORLD TOUR
LAUNCHING MARCH 24

BAND ALSO ANNOUNCE THE MARCH 19 VINYL AND DIGITAL RELEASE OF THE LIVE ‘WISER FOR THE TIME’
ON SILVER ARROW/MEGAFORCE RECORDS

THE BLACK CROWES will return to the road in 2013 with their “Lay Down With Number 13” world tour. The first leg will encompass dates in the U.K. March 24-30 and the U.S. April 2-May 4. Tickets for this first leg go on sale January 11 at 10:13 AM Local Time and ticket link information will be available on January 1 at www.blackcrowes.com. Additional dates will be announced soon.

The band has also announced the March 19 vinyl release of the live WISER FOR THE TIME (Silver Arrow/Megaforce Records). Its eight sides will contain 26 songs–15 acoustic and 11 electric–from the band’s five-night, sold-out NYC performances in the fall of 2010. These never-released-before versions will also be available as a double album digital download.

Chris Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Rich Robinson (guitar, vocals), Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass) and Adam Macdougall (keyboards) of THE BLACK CROWES “are thrilled to announce the addition of our good friend Jackie Greene” on guitar and vocals.

The band is offering via their website a free mobile web app. It includes a free download of the acoustic version of
“Under a Mountain” performed live in NYC in 2010. This offering is exclusive and not included on WISER FOR THE TIME.

The first leg of the “Lay Down With Number 13” tour begins March 24 in Manchester in the U.K. and will run through May 4 in New Orleans.

Stay tuned for a VIP Ticketing announcement.

Saw them a few years ago on a double bill with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in Berkeley. They put on a cool show.

Sway?

Dry bread on the table
Burn the mill salt the paper

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Sad eyes, weeping willow
Black cat blues, blacked out window

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Just a glimpse of what love could be
Once a dream that I owned
What of many lonely longing souls
At least I'm not alone
Well at least I'm not alone

Ripe off the vine now lay rotten
Like a dead end street forever forgotten

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

I wish they would bring Marc Ford back on guitar, he is their Mick Taylor in my opinion! I love that five or six CD set called, Crowes Covers, they do a bunch of great cover songs!

The Marc Ford ship has sailed. And besides, they already have a guitarist lined up for this tour. Jackie Greene is the new guy.

The Black Crowes could of carried the torch of the Rolling Stones but marriage got in the way and they lost it.

Still in top 5 fave bands though.

Enjoy the show Eidth.

Let's not forget drug addiction.

You mean the Stones or the Crowes.

Mick and Ronnie fart cocaine...

Crowes.

What happened to Luther Dickinson? That lineup really started to cook on the last tour/album.

Mel, you raised a good question so I went to his webpage and see he's on the road with his own bad for the first half of the year.

Wish I could Go, but no tickets! Great band.

why the new line up??

Luther has commitments thru the summer. Rest of lineup is in tact. Shows will be good. Rich Robinson is a beast. His sound is amazing. They've often changed who the 2nd guitar player is along side of him. But his tone is great. Thats the sound. He carries it no matter who else is on board.

Its 2013. Crowes roll.

Enough with the high ate us...

time for the Crowes to get back to the grind.

Johnny Colt played during the Golden Era, any chance he plays a few shows?

Colt's in Skynyrd now. He's long gone. Sven Pipien is great bassist. Good singer too.

Not at all.

Why not bring back Pagey ?

Riffy used to kick it with Colt back in the day.

Cause maybe Pagey is getting too old to keep up w/ the Crowes or just doesn't have the energy...

Saw an article the other day about him planning a tour in late 2013.

We'll see if that ever pans out.

Anyone who's a Crowes fan knows that Chris didn't like the Page tour and that he didn't have fun doing it. He's NOT a fan of Robert Plant's vocals and lyrics and I guess to some extent Led Zeppelin as a whole and when he was doing press for his solo record, he made sure to make it known. The genesis for that tour was contractual from what I recall, which is why there wasn't a lot of Crowes songs performed and none made it onto the Live at the Greek album from what I recall.  

Also, did anyone read the press release on the Crowes website? This tour is to promote their latest live album Wiser for the Time. It contains a list of band members. The Crowes are known for their obnoxious press releases and this one seemed to be really down to Earth.

I know he got sick of that tour pretty quickly, but I was not under the impression that he wasn't a fan of Robert Plant.

Any chance that Page's back problems during that tour might have been a cover for his leaving early ?

I remember being so pissed off that I didn't get to see the Houston show due to Page's inability to be there.
If I remember right they were touring with The Who, playing consecutive nights in each city.

I liked them early on (1990-1992). Saw them in 2001 and it just boring, and this was following Oasis, not exactly a tough band to follow. Was going to go see them with Jimmy Page at Irvine Meadows in 2000 but it got cancelled.

They cancelled the local twice! :'(

gonna get all up in this dvd this friday.

Got my 930 tix. Love the full sets.

If you guys are really into going to these shows, just know that the sellout is a fucking joke.  Tickets will be available.  You should be able to get them on Stub Hub as the dates approach for UNDER face.  Pete is just trying to create demand for the band.  Its a wonder the fans keep coming back.  The band is run by mental midgets.

Also, Sven is WAY better than Johnny.  I'll take Sven.  Johnny just looked cool, which counts for something, but yeah...Sven all the way.
