I am sooooooo glad we never gave up on them getting back together. We've already seen them now in Alpharetta GA where they blew it out of the water!! We just saw them a couple of weeks ago at the Fox Theater in ATL and our tickets with the Black Crowes and Aerosmith are rescheduled and we will see them there. We are making up for lots of lost time with them. The brotherly love between them is obvious and they sound better now than even when they were younger!!! We are so proud of our hometown guys!!!

Never forget when they were doing the larger rock and roll clubs. There was a club outside of Detroit called the Ritz. And this was right before their second album was coming out. They already had I think the single Remedy from the second album was all over the radio. We got to the bar and we were lucky we got one of the high standing bar tables that was just behind the main floor and elevated. Everybody on the floor had to stand. They're probably was a good 500 people in their easily. And the band played every single song from the first album. It was unbelievable. Everyone was there to see this new band that we had all heard the first album for the past months, if not a year. And they were actually OPENING for a band called Junkyard!😅 Junk yards big song was called hollywood. I think this was right about the early or middle 90s? We had the best time. The Crowes were awesome.

My Aunt Mary was such a huge Black Crowes fan that I gave her my debut cassette as the groovy little stoner kid I was back then and bought myself another. She was admitted on Christmas day 2021 with Covid19 and passed away January 2, 2022 on a vent all alone in the infirmary. I later sat with a big bottle of wine and played/sang She Talks To Angels at the top of my lungs repeatedly on my Fender acoustic guitar for what must of been hours if not days. I know that comes across as somewhat morbid and dark, but that freakin' song genuinely helped get me through that heartbreaking loss, and for that? I'll always be eternally grateful. #ThankYouRobinsonBrothers 💜💔❤‍🩹❤‍🔥

The cord for guitarist was so short , it was off the ground when he moved up to microphone and kept unplugging thru the set. A roadie in T-shirt with pack of cigarettes in his sleeve , and a lit one in his mouth kept running on stage to plug it back in. I still have the ticket stub , might get that $2 back someday, lol.

saw crowes open for Plant in '90. they were promoting their 1st album. over the next 20 years, saw them over 10 times, most in the 90's. my favorite show was in '99 when they were touring by your side and just picked up Audley Freed on lead guitar. it was around the time they were kinda transitioning from a Rolling Stones blues rock type of band to more of a jam band. that was the show that not only did i love their overall performance, i became impressed with their musicianship. Chris was always a top vocalist in rock history but the rest of the band seemed to take their instrumentals to the next level. i was also impressed during the luther dickinson era. last show i saw was with greene on lead and i just was not too impressed. that was about 10 years ago and i have not seen them sense. course i am old and stopped drinking, etc... over 10 years ago. going to a show in your mid-50 sober is not near as fun as partying in my 20s at a rock show.

He grew up down the street from me. We actually both got kicked out of the same high school (Walton). I was standing in front of him at a Kamasi Washington show in NYC a few years ago. I noticed it was him and asked him if he wanted a drink when I went to the bar and handed it to him and didn’t say anything. Then when I went to leave I told him I would say hi to Mrs. Sternilolo if she wasn’t dead. He started laughing and was like, “are you from east Cobb?” I told him I was. And we talked for a few minutes. I had actually met him before and used to wait on his parents at Houcks when I bartended there. He was super chill after I didn’t ask him for anything or acknowledge that he is a big rock star.
