Just back from The Black Crowes
« on: May 18, 2009, 12:15:58 AM »
Not usually on this late, but I suddenly had to transfer all my Black Crowes albums onto my mp3 player for our holiday...

We've just got back from seeing them at Brixton Academy.

What a band!! They still got it :D

I've seen them before, but the missus hadn't. I was worried they might not be as good as I was bigging them up to be, but we're both very happy bunnies now :D

Off to cornwall at the crack of dawn for a week now of no work (YEAH!! at last), no music (er, maybe), and loads of eating, drinking, walking, holding hands, talking to each other and putting our feet up...

See ya next weekend folks!

Blackcrowes are the best live band I've ever seen, did they have the female singers?

Good stuff - I really want to see the Black Crowes!

Where are you going in Cornwall? Not expecting a response for at least a week though!

The Black Crowes are seriously one of the best live bands out there. Still prefer the band with Marc Ford  though.

Glad you & the missus enjoyed it

I saw them at Brixton in 01 when Audley Freed was with them. They are a great live band. Noel Gallagher gate crashed that gig, came on stage and was boo'd.

I wish I'd know they were playing, I'd have loved to have seen them again.

Audley kicked ass with the band, but Rich never let him off the hook

Audley is a great player. Did you see them on Jools Hollands show when they were over for that tour? That was a good bit of TV.

Whats the name of the bands he was in?

I was in Cornwall a month or so ago.  Think Watergate Bay is one of my favorite places on earth.

Could never really get into the Black Crows, tried a few times, but they don't quite go up my flagpole.  Maybe time to give them another go.  Any albums which are good for a beginer?

It is a stunning place isn't it.

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is great album of theirs.

Never been to Watergate Bay - I always go to Lamorna, right down by Lands End, nowhere near as touristy and very, very relaxing. Porthferris Cove has got to be one of the nicest beaches to visit - and it's dog friendly.

As for The Black Crowes I thoroughly recommend Amorica. Conspiracy, Wiser Time and Gone are particular favourites of mine.

Johnny - remember this link up a while ago on Audley Freed, I certainly feel no shame in dragging it back up!
