THE BLACK CROWES’
CHRIS AND RICH ROBINSON SLATED FOR THEIR FIRST-EVER

CHRIS and RICH ROBINSON of THE BLACK CROWES are heading out on the road as a duo for a special run of multiple-night acoustic shows.

Billed as “Brothers Of A Feather: An Acoustic Evening With Chris & Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes,” all show will be in a very intimate setting and will be recorded for a possible acoustic release at some point in the future.

SWAY! Oh my gosh, this is GREAT! Can't wait to catch them in SF.
Question for you: does this portend yet another round of trouble for the band in general? Is this a way to escape these troubles? |

This would be interesting, if they promised not to play for 3 hours. |

Saint Sway;- i've often thought of buying a Black Crowes album, what is the best starting point? |

Why does the article call them "infamous" brothers? A little creepy maybe. |

An Acoustic Evening With Chris & Rich Robinson (NSC)
quite frankly st. sway that would get boring after 15 mins MAX
and i know they have their chops and all that..but still it would be boring...maybe it's me but the robinson bros. are not going to inspire me to do anything
it's all too late...not their fault, i know, but i don't see the boost
i must be getting old

it all depends on your interests...
i recorded rich doing an acoustic gig like two years ago, and it was great (rare, too). it was short - only about an hour. i would assume these brothers robinson acoustic gigs will be hour and a half sets, with an encore of twenty minutes, tops...
i hope to see as many of these as possible...

trey anastasio sat in with phil and friends last night @ the beacon in nyc. they ripped, didnt play any phish, and closed the second set with a thundering reading of "gimme shelter"
or so i am told... |

Not that you asked me, but what the hell...the all time classic of theirs, in my opinion, is AMORICA. Most people either agree with me or would pick the previous album Southern Harmony. But Amorica has much more depth in my opinion - it's devastatingly beautiful to listen to from start to finish. |

Amorica is a brilliant record. But I think the best introductory album - for a Stones fan - would be either Southern Harmony or Shake Your Money Maker. And of those 2, I think Southern Harmony blows Shake away.

no it doesnt. They told me about these gigs awhile ago - before they let Eddie go. And they are doing a series of full blown gigs as a full band in Amsterdam and England in March. And some scattered US gigs. These are just special one-off type shows. Its something they've talked about doing for years but have never gotten around to doing until now.
I'm really looking forward to them. I think they'll be special shows. I get why some folks consider acoustic type gigs to be boring, but I would jump at the chance to to see ANY of my favorite bands or musicians perform in a stripped down acoustic setting.
thankfully theres some talk about recording these for a possible live release. I hope that happens too. |

Saint. Is there going to be a recording of this? Of the non-offical variety?

yes. Of course. The Black Crowes allow and openly encourage tapers at all their shows.
the Crowes taping community is tops. There will be plenty of free quality boots circulating of these shows. |

Saint Sway, did they really let Eddie go ??!!
If so, that really sucks  |

I beleive before a show in Florida (Tampa maybe?) about a month ago, Ed left/was fired from the band. The word that I heard is due to differences between Ed and another bandmate(s). I cannot comfirm this and there are others that can answer this better than me.
Sadly, this tells me that there maybe more problems on the horizon and another hiatus is possibly imminent. |

Yeah I know about Orlando show. But it's not the first show they play without Eddie, we don't really know why he wasn't there. I still hope he'll be on keyboards next show. |

fuck
hopefully I can make one of these acoustic gigs - I don't think seeing the "full band" is gonna be quite the same without Ed |

Eddie's the finest keyboard player ever. But they'll find a stellar top tier player to fill his big goofy shoes.
and hopefully one day Ed gets his act together and can rejoin the band. If Ford can get his shit together and come back then anything can happen. Never count out the Crowes. These guys have been thru it all. Chris & Rich are very dedicated to making music right now. I forsee good things. |

I read on the Metal Sludge board that Stephen Pearcy might re-unite with Ratt. |

Will he bring back the zebra striped tights he wore on "Round & Round", perhaps the most banal and retarded song ever made? |
