awesome band, always loved the Crowes - saw them back on the first tour and never since - pity they don't do bigger UK tours  :(

Great quality clip, and serious beardage!

Nice sounding strat, that...

[Twinfan]

The band was great sounding, I even commented on the bass player when he swapped to a Ric at one point.  He used 3 bases for the gig, so I think they're all tone hounds!  He had a couple of tasty Greco Zematis gutiars which sounded great with some extra gain.

The whole gig was a showcase for super tasteful playing.

[Ian Price]

They are all total tone hounds by the sound of it. I still regularly read the interview that was in Guitar Player a few months back.

Can't beat a good old dose of tasteful rock guitar. No gimmicks either!

[Philly Q]

Gotta be honest, they're a bit too tasteful for me.  I've always wished they'd just rock out a bit more sometimes.

There is no pleasing some people! Jeeeeesus!

 :lol:

I kind of like the Black Crowes - I bought all their albums up to Lions - but I don't love anything they've done (maybe a few bits of The Southern Harmony...).

I'm not saying they're rubbish, it's just a personal thing, but "too tasteful" actually does sum it up pretty well.  They have too much soul/gospel, too much of that "Americana" thing for me.  I like a bit of rock-star swagger, some unfashionable guitar heroics.  Funnily enough, I much prefer some stuff made by ex-Crowes before they joined the Crowes - Burning Tree and Cry of Love.

Sorry!   :P

[Ian Price]

Just been watching a few of those vids Dave - very very good indeed.

Philly - I'll have to check out the other stuff you have noted.

[Philly Q]

Just listening to Cry of Love now - Audley Freed is $%&#ing great on it, I was surprised when he joined the Black Crowes in a relatively low-profile sideman role.   This is much more of a guitar-heavy, funky, Hendrix-influenced Eric Gales/Mother Superior kind of vibe.

Now where on earth did I put the Burning Tree album?

[horsehead]

I can lend you it if you've managed to lose it Philly. Audley is one of the best guitarists I've heard play & a genuinely nice chap to have a chat with

[Ian Price]

Just listened to Cry of Love. Fantastic stuff! God I wish Black Crowes weren't as tasteful in their playing!

All this talk of Audley Freed reminded me of this:

All 6 videos are great!


EDIT - I think this person may have gone too far in their comment about the first vid on youtube "If anyone knows how to contact him please let me know. I would like to share my family with him and my son, Lucas who is 13"

Very nice indeed. I'm pretty amazed that HJ let something so decent go out on the Gibson youtube channel.
