219.1Pre_release review of the new one ...RAVEN1::JERRYWHITEHey you're pretty good - NOT !Fri May 08 1992 04:4817
    I just finished listeing to/taping the debut of "The Southern Harmony
    And Musical Companion" by the Black Crowes.  This is their 2nd release
    (after "Shake Your Money Maker"), featuring the current hit "Remedy".
    
    This was a in_studio interview with Chris Robinson.  They aired 5 songs
    from the CD, and 5 more "live in the studio" cuts.
    
    I loved it !  Good grooves from start to finish, in the same vein as
    the 1st release.  This CD contains a lot of female backup vocals, which
    suit Chris Robinson to a tee.  If you liked the 1st release, you'll
    love this.  If you haven't heard the first release, go buy it - shame
    on you ...
    
    Tour (High As The Moon) starts in late July, probably in Minneapolis MN.
    They won't be doing large arenas, but smaller theaters (5K or less).

    I too listened to the feature last night, and I'll just say that I
    liked every cut on this first listen.   I also liked the honesty that
    Chris Robinson seemed to portray and hold dear.

And THAT folks is saying something!  (Hi Mark)....


I had the pleasure of seeing the Crowes open the ZZ Top concert last year
in Hartford.  We had Skybox tickets (it's a LONG story), and the Crowes
were great.

However, they cut short their set.  Apparently a fellow got up out of
his seat in the 3rd row stepped into the aisle to take a photo.  (Cameras
were not banned from this concert) and a security guy pushed him.
(Personally, I would have tried the tack of "please return to your seat"
first).

Anyway, about six goons jump this guy and start hauling them out.

The Crowes stopped playing, said "You don't have to kick the sh*t out of
him to get him to leave", muttered something about the Gestapo, and 
walked off stage.


Still, the set they did was great!  Can't wait for the CD to be available.

219.10but you hadda BE thereSALSA::MOELLERTruth is shorter than fictionFri May 08 1992 17:504
    So they cut short the show, punishing a paying audience of fans for the 
    actions of the security guards.  Makes sense to me !

I kind of put Chris Robinson in the same boat as Axl.  Both are very
outspoken and this incident sounds like a tame version of GnR in St Louis.

I just put The Crowes new one on my birthday list...

219.14Me, Too!!!COMET::MESSAGEYou can't dust for vomitWed May 13 1992 14:0712
    	Yep, the Crowes are way cool! Chris reminds me of the
    quintessential young rock star-real opinionated, and will live to be
    embarassed by old interview responses.
    
    	"Shake Your Money Maker" spends a lot of time in my CD player. It's
    fresh, raw and spirited. I hope the new one's at least as good.
    
    	I hope it's out here in Colorado, too. I hate being in the great
    unwashed prarie when new stuff comes out; we're never the first to get
    at it!

219.15I WANT TO SEE THEM -- LIVE!!MRKTNG::LANDRYTighTly UnDoneFri May 15 1992 14:2810
    I read an article that the next Black Crowes' tour is happenning soon
    and that they will be playing the smaller venues.  Has anyone heard
    this rumor as well?  Does anyone have any idea when they will be
    touring this area?
    
    I don't want to miss their next tour!  Are the Crowes from around here? 
    Can someone give me some background on them?

219.16OLTRIX::ZAPPIAtripping with angelsFri May 15 1992 14:478
	Where's around here?  I think they're from the west coast (states).
	That narrows it now, huh!  I first saw 'em open for Plant and at
	the time I enjoyed them, and then some where in between I couldn't
	stand them, now I like their care free attitude to their music. Haven't
	heard enough off the new one to really comment.

    From the Atlanta area me thinks.
219.18RAVEN1::JERRYWHITEHey you're pretty good - NOT !Fri May 15 1992 15:357
    Yup, southern boys ...
    
    From the interview I heard, they'll be doing smaller halls.  Should be
    a great show.  That interview also aired some "live" studio cuts at
    some songs off both albums.  Chris Robinson can really belt out a tune
    in that environment, much more expressive than what's on the albums, if
    you can imagine that ... 86)
219.19Coming to the Orpheum in BostonRICKS::ROSTElectric music for mind and bodyFri May 15 1992 15:375
    They will be playing the Orpheum in Boston sometime in August,
    according to Chris Robinson when he was doing an on-air the other day.

    Lale,

    The explanation is easy when you consider the other survey recently
    done. I'll post part of it here:

    
    Thing least likely for a computer industry engineer to admit:

    of suggestions....  :-)
    
    Seriously, though, I hope that's not true!  I love The Black Crowes. 
    I can't imagine that Chris Robinson can do anything else better than he
    sings.

    re: .30
    
    I heard this on WBCN within the last six weeks.  There was no
    specification of exactly what Chris wants to do, and I've not heard any
    more on it.  Admittedly, my contact with the news of modern music is
    lessening, so for all I know the guy was talking out of the side of his
    head.

    They are in the Studio in LA right now. I'm not sure how far along they
    are, they only lost a day or two after the earthquake. My friend is the
    engineer. I will post an update after I talk to him, he wasn't up to 
    talking music after the quake.

     The Black Crowes put on one of the best shows you'll ever see. I saw
    them in March at the Orpheim in Boston, they were rocking for the full
    two hour. Every song, they cut out in the middle and Jammed for like 5
    minutes. GREAT SHOW!
