Guest Wilco Rules Me Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi everyone new to the board. Big fan of Wilco and The Black Crowes. I remember the Crowes and Tweedy did a cover of the song Willin. I think during the Further Festival days. Anyway, 3 Snakes is the name of the game for me. Best song has to be Nonfiction. I am not to happy with Adam on the keys. In studio he is ok, but live just terrible (for the Crowes catalog) Luther is ok, but sometimes less is good. Ford knew that, not sure if Luther does. Anyway excited to see what happens at the end of the month for Cabin Fever. Warpaint does not do it for me either. Better than Lions, not better than BYS and BYS is lower on the charts for me when comparing Crowes records. Whoa MuleGold JosephineEvergreen (Steve is great on this song. Well he is great on every song but stands out big here) are good songs. DaughtersMovin on Down are ok Of all the great covers they do, I thought God's Got It was a weak choice. As for the other songs, I skip them. I do have high expectations, so I think that is also a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Best song has to be Nonfiction. I taped that off of TV when they did it on Saturday Night Live - before it was released. It's one of favorite songs also. The video use to be on Youtube. December 12, 1992 - Saturday Night Live - New York, NYSometimes Salvation / Nonfiction Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 That is when he was wearing the feather's jacket? When he really did look like a Crow? I think that might have been the MTV Video Music Awards - I could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 How do y'all feel about Live at the Greek. I really enjoy this album, however I think the sound is a little muffled sounding I like it enough to have gone out and gotten several more shows with Page & the Crowes all different, all very fun to listen to. I have the original Music Maker version, I have no clue how it stands up to the other release except that they have one or two different songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I remember the Crowes and Tweedy did a cover of the song Willin. I think during the Further Festival days. I used to have a tape of them doing Casino Queen together. Name of the band on the tape: Wilcrowe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 That Black Crowes show was up at bt.etree.org not to long ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 first concert i ever saw was further fest 1995 (or maybe white zombie, i forget). the crowes headlined and tweedy & maybe a few others from wilco came out & sang 'willin'. i remember there were two stages & wilco was playing during dave matthews & no one would go with me! d'oh.

tangara Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Crowesbase link That was not the only night they did the song though. Crowesbase linkThey also did the song She. "She" like the Gram Parsons tune? Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wilco Rules Me Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 "She" like the Gram Parsons tune? Wow. Crowes have covered that tune so much it is almost like their own now. I think I first heard them cover it on national airwaves in 1994 during the Amorica release. Either that or 1996 for Three Snakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i saw them play it once, 2005, milwaukee. it was awesome. they do such a great cover of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just happened to notice - there is a H.O.R.D.E. Festival poster at Wolfgang's vault right now for 28 bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 "She" like the Gram Parsons tune? Wow. I heard "She" and thought Misfits, Kiss, and Green day in that order. Gram Parsons never occurred to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wilco Rules Me Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Somebody has a torrent of the show. Things get pretty rough over in the Black Crowes forum. He also added that it is a marijuana brownie type of album. Here is his quick review: first impressions if you don't care about my opinion, then don't read this thread...thanks. OVERALL: It's sleepy and rootsy americana. In the school of WARPAINT, I feel this album will split Amorican opinions like never before. Aimless Peacock - very nice....but yes, pretty aimless......'Song For Everyone To Sing' chanting in the middle makes me think of it as "Why Don't We Sing This All Together" (Stones). It's not really a song as much as it a vibe. Just think sitars. Greenhorn - Incredibly mellow. There's Gold In The Hills meets Tim Buckley "Song For You' Pretty..but honestly....a bit of a snooze. Pretty pedal steel. (make sure you bring your 'brownies' to Cabin Fever, so far). On 2nd listen it gets better. The Shady Grove - 'Downtown Money Waster" meets The Beatles. Also sounds like the Band. I'm not loving it. Also borrows from the 'with your record on, so let's go out and play" vibe in MODTL. Shine Along - straight up bluegrass....it's OK, I guess. It'll make for decent background music, I suppose. This is absoultely Warpaint 2 so far, but without any sign of "rockers" Nothing has floored me yet...or even smile. Sorry. At best, it's Ok and is best before bedtime. '09 Crowes shows are gonna be weird. They should all be sit down affairs based on this. What Is Home? - Rich on vocals.. I dig it. Mellow Zep-esque. Best tune so far. (Note: I love "Paper'). Finally something I really dig on this, to be honest. Fork In The River - CR still singing about Locusts. Sounds like "Locust St." brother. Roll Old Jermimiah - straight up country...Nice Pedal Steel.. Song is just kinda there. It's a country song...the type that sounds like a lot of country songs. I don't love it. I think Gorman is playing brushes. Pedal Steel is the best part about it. Ugh....honestly. Houston Don't Dream About Me - everything is starting to sound the same. mid tempo , this one. Honestly, it just came and went as I listened. Kept My Soul - sounds like "Ventilator Blues' (Stones) meets a more laid back "Walk Beleiver Walk", it's alright. Pretty good.. 2nd fave song so far. Make Glad - uptempo...a bit of white boy funk. Pretty Good. Some nice jamming by Luther. Make that 3 songs I like. And The Band PLayed On - i have no opinion of this song....it has lyrics like "Let's All Gather Around the Grand Piano.....and makes use of the phrase 'Jolly Good" So Many Times - Slow acoustic ballad, pedal steel...Rich and Chris sharing vocals......think "You Don't Miss Your Water' styled vocal harmonies......not bad....just sleepy like the rest of this material which makes it tough to stand out. Dolphins - I love Dolphins and I'm glad it might be on a Crowes record. Nice jam at the end by Luther. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks for the report. It sounds like something I would like to hear. I'd be surprised if they allowed taping, since they are recording the shows for a new album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wilco Rules Me Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 They did not allow tapping. Some ass thought he did not have to respect the wishes of others. I like Warpaint I just wish the lyrics for some of the songs were not so.. um.. out there and generic if that makes any sense. I am looking forward to their new direction also.

mjpuczko Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 i'm looking forward to this after reading that description. i loved warpaint. the crowes from now on will probably always be a bit more mellow. it feels like chris' solo stuff with a bit more rock. i'm ok with that.

Analogman Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 No setlist for Feb 22nd. I have learned that there was a actually a torrent of the 21st or the 22nd show up for a time at bt.etree. It got removed, of course. Some people managed to get it though - so it is out there. I don't have it, but hope to find a copy somewhere.

With a steady diet lately of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Blitzen Trapper, it would sure be nice to have the Crowes come out with a rocking "Amorica" type album but I suppose those days are gone. I will have to get my good old rock fix somewhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 On 27 April 2009, Eagle Records will release the double CD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't know if it something I need to have, but I will probably buy it. I am still trying to track down the Feb 2009 show that was out there to snag for a while. From what I have found, it was on a few BT sites before being taken down. If anyone has any leads, let me know. I spent some time searching for it on Saturday, but found nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
