What's Spinning

Right on.

My first Black Crowes show was 3-23-90. My last was 8-2-13. I saw roughly 60 shows in between.

Between 1992 and 1997 there was no better live band on the planet. That excellence was duplicated at times in 2006/7 and 2010, but that 6 year stretch was completely incendiary.

If Chris and Rich had billed this current tour as Brothers Of A Feather or The Robinson Brothers I'd feel very differently about it, but trying to pawn this off as The Black Crowes doesn't sit well with me. I'm glad folks who never got to experience the band before have the chance now - hopefully that'll send them down the rabbit hole into the back catalog - but make no mistake, this current incarnation is not The Black Crowes.

If you haven't read Steve Gorman's memoir 'Hard To Handle - The Life And Death Of the Black Crowes', it's essential. If you can do the audiobook or CD version with Steve reading it, that's the absolute best.

So into the wayback machine we go. The first link is a recording from the third time I saw the band in 1990. Read the description - it fits very well. The next two links are from a recording I made on the 2010 run. And the fourth link is to a show I recorded in 1994. They opened with my favorite Black Crowes song.

Thanks to The Black Crowes open taping policy and the folks who invest the expense, time and care to capture a decent recording, damn near every Black Crowes show is out there for free download somewhere.

They only came to Brisbane once , that’s when I saw them Wednesday 24 June 1992. I sorta lucked out, I was working in a shop selling Drums and the manager got a couple of tickets and couldn’t go so he offered them

to me, I had only heard a couple of songs at that stage but after that night Southern Harmony was one of my favourite albums for a long time!

Sometimes you unknowingly fall into favor with the music gods and they reward you like a king.

Discs 3 & 4 of the Deluxe Almost Famous Soundtrack

@MikeH Finally had a chance to really listen to the first 4 discs now and like your copies this one sounds pretty damn awesome as well! Def. a nice boost from the Bootleg I had of it for sure. It had me a bit concerned at first reading Discogs but zero issues here.

Really glad the deluxe sounds good! I was really pleasantly surprised by the 2 I picked up (target variant and the alt cover variant which weirdly have different track listings). The soundtrack sent me down a rabbithole of rock albums that I had never really explored like Skynyrd.
 
Chick Corea & Lionel Hampton – Live At Midem (Kingdom Jazz, 1981 First UK Pressing)

The 2 giants of jazz meeting up for a live performance at the Theatre du Casino in Cannes, France on the 22nd January, 1978. The playing here is light and airy but with a solid pace. There's some vocals which I'm not a huge fan of and Hampton grunts at times, but the opening track is a killer example of some fantastic playing. Anyway, for the quid that I paid for it, it's a good album!

@JohnnyCashFan you might like this one (stream the opening track titled 'Sea Breeze', it's some great playing).
