Why do they keep zooming in on their disgusting old faces?

[evenslow]

cuz the cameraman is filled with existential dread?

So...did anyone happen to grab the Boulder 2006 Brothers of a Feather soundboard that was out there about 3-4 weeks ago? I waited too long to grab it and now the link is dead

[wease]

This sure makes me want to go out and see them.

Chris Robinson repeatedly admonished the crowd for speaking too loudly during BROTHERS OF A FEATHER's concert last Friday night (February 21) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

During BROTHERS OF A FEATHER's show at the 400-capacity The Foundry at the Fillmore, Chris was apparently annoyed at fans who seemed refused to stay quiet while he and his brother performed.

"If you can't concentrate for a few minutes, why are we doing this?" Chris can be heard telling the audience in one of the fan-filmed clips of the show (see below). After one fan shouted out, "We are sorry. We love you," Chris countered with: "I get it, and we're happy to be here, but it's not any fun if we can't get into it. And we can't get into it when all I can hear is conversations. What's the point? I really wanna know. You're **** ing grown adults and you paid your money. You should **** ing pay attention." He continued: "I get it. The vibe is so good, and everyone's happy, but we have to stop, 'cause we can't hear ourselves. Seriously, man. Get it **** ing together."

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer Dan DeLuca, "the show didn't go off the rails, but it began to feel like an evening to be endured, rather than celebrated."

I don't see the problem. People really should shut the fuck up at small intimate shows.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

They should, you’re right.

However I can’t help but feel like this is the kind of audience they’re left with after pissing off the fans who would have stood silently and taken in every note.

My God, they were glorious in their day.

Any thoughts on Green Leaf Rustlers? I am listening through now. Jammy, but these are good covers.

Just watched this. Pretty great. The NPR sound guys do some great work.

Okay friends, I need a new artist journey. Dylan was a stunning, wonderful, crazy ride - now it’s time to f*in’ rock!

Shake Your Money Maker - This debut is sort of like Ten where it’s so good that it sort of prematurely sets the standard for a band before they really get going. Granted, this band was around for a while before recording this, but all the same, this album essentially defines them from the outset. Classics like Twice As Hard, Jealous Again, Hard to Handle, and She Talks to Angels are sort of embedded in any surface experience of the Black Crowes. But beyond that, this album reveals itself as essential listening. Seeing Things goes right to that almost gospel-like quality they can have. Thick N’ Thin, Struttin’ Blues, and Stare It Cold are rock solid examples of this band just loosely kicking ass. Everything here is exceptional and just what the doctor ordered if you’re down for some classic rock mixed with southern soul.

Its a perfect rock n roll record

I love the next two as well. Far more interesting and just as exciting. But for straight ahead rock n roll? Shake your money maker is a must.

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - ...comes another perfect rock n roll record! What struck me getting into this second album is just how much the Black Crowes’ music is completely ingrained into my psyche. I can’t recall the last time or if I ever specifically set out to listen to this album start to finish, but I know these songs and these songs are me. I mean, Sting Me, Remedy, Thorn in My Pride, and Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye are all classics to my ears. Add to that No Speak No Slave (which just f*in’ rocks - I can’t recall when I first heard this but it just tweaks the right nerve every time), My Morning Song - which I might have audibly screamed “YES!!” when it came on despite immediately following No Speak No Slave, Sometimes Salvation, and Hotel Illness just all examples of how great this band started out album wise. The Bob Marley cover to close out is perfection for this record. To my ears, this ups the ante from the first album - a band secretly on the rise and getting even stronger (uncanny parallels here to Pearl Jam for the folks who didn’t check out after the first album or sat back waiting for an encore). Man, this band was awesome!

To be straight I already know the drool will be visible for at least the first four records.

Black crowes are summer to me. Grilling, cold beers, laughing with friends, poolside, hiking, causing trouble.

Yea, i fucking love this band.
