Analogman Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 They played Georgia on My Mind the other night when they were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. I would like to hear that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was already a great album before I saw it but when you watch Cabin Fever it makes you appreciate it even more. Enjoy the show. p.s: Are there any other good Crowes DVD's worth picking up?

nalafej Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Who killed that bird is worth it. Freak n' roll not so much. Haven't seen the brothers dvd... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Frank Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Who killed that bird is worth it. Freak n' roll not so much. Haven't seen the brothers dvd...Thanks for that. I think I saw 'who killed the bird' many many years ago on yhs. If I recall it is a collection of videos, interviews and live performances. Good stuff if my memory serves.

If you want to see the band with Marc, then you will want Freak 'n' Roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 great show. two 80 minute sets. wow. I'm going to see them on 11/17 at the Norva in Norfolk, VA, based almost exclusively on reading comments on this board. Tickets were just $35 and it's a great small venue right around the corner from my home, so it seemed like a no-brainer. That being said, I hardly know anything at all about the Black Crowes, other than the fact that Chris Robinson used to be married to Kate Hudson. (I know, dumbass thing to say, but I hope I'm among friends and in a safe environment --translated: don't tell me how stupid I am, please!) Anyway, between now and then I'd like to get more familiar with their catalog so the songs will be more resonant for me. Would the Warpaint Live CD be a good place to start? Any other suggestions? I don't expect or want to become obsessed with them--one obsession is more than enough, thanks!--but I do want to get to know enough about them to really appreciate the show.

You can go to Crowesbase and see what they have been playing. If you just want to hear some songs, you could just go to Youtube and look up some clips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you just want to hear some songs, you could just go to Youtube and look up some clips. I know, and I have, but for instance, if I were unfamilar with Wilco and wanted to get a quick primer on their most essential stuff, I might not want to start with either A.M. or SBS; hopefully, someone would steer me to YHF, AGIB or BT. So I was hoping that if someone here is a big fan, you could let me know where I would get the most bang for my buck, so to speak, with Black Crowes. No problem if that's not really doable with this band, by the way. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I watch Freak n Roll often. As Aman said, Marc is on there and it's a pretty nice show. The "Soul Singing" alone is worth the dvd price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No problem if that's not really doable with this band, by the way. Thanks! When I get into a band, I always start with the first album, and go from there. Like Wilco, their sound has changed over time. Warpaint live is just a live version of the Warpaint album. They do have a so-called Greatest Hits album, but I think it would be easier for you just to dig around on Youtube and check out some songs. If you wanted to just buy some albums, I would get The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Amorica, and Before the Frost...Until the Freeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks, Aman and Lammy. I'm on the case now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Croweology may be a good start. It has the current lineup doing their old catalog, acoustically. For a double cd, it's rather cheap, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a double cd, it's rather cheap, too.calvino, you beat me to suggesting this. it's a good one to start with, then when you find the ones you really dig, go dredge up the particular album that track was originally found on. i'll tell ya, though: you can't go wrong. their stuff is damn good.

Moss Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 just get souther harmony. a pair of headphones & your favorite drink. That would have been my advice. Southern Harmony is still my fave although Amorica is a close second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 i rate it like this:southern is their bestamorica is probably my fave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Frank Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 i rate it like this:southern is their bestamorica is probably my fave.I agree that 'Southern' is amazing but I really feel that 'Before the Frost....Until the Freeze' is the most complete album they have made. I really love that record. 'Amorica' I've never warmed to as much for some reason. Its very good but doesn't hit the same spots as the other two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 It's an old traditional song, I think. Both Jeff and Jay have covered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
