AND EDDIE 🙌

Eddie, Marc and Steve. Enough said

Another place Gorman is great: his book on his time in the Black Crowes. I dare you to not want to read the entire thing in one sitting. He does not fuck around when it comes to details.

What Chuck said...(as a bassist, I'ma cling ta Sven too!). Damn shame about Gorman not bein' on this tour...To me, He was always the "third brother!".

@@Genious. Gorman is pretty vivid in Anything he does or details. Sportscaster, Drums, Everything...

Again...As A Bassist..(?) Gorman's My Guy! 👊🏻 🤷🏻‍♂️All I'd need is a (half-ass) guitarist if I could team up w/ Steve. 😆 😎🤙🏻

As I recall. Liam got gobby as soon as Oasis came on. The Crowes blew them clean off that stage, and he knew it.😉😎

When did he not, right. Count on Steve. You bet!!! 👍

I saw them in Oslo, Norway in January 1995. Amazing to see the classic line-up. They were all soooo high!!!! Wow! Good times!

I saw that tour too in Madrid. Amazing improvs and feel (and this line up with Eric Bobo is probably my fave).

With SOUNDGARDEN,AIC,STP,later Mad Season,need I say more!!!

I don't know how is your generation, but the day of this concert I was 30 years, 2 months and 2 days old and I really consumed "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" and "Amorica" cds: twin albums (IMHO).

@@FabioSanna65 I am 48. I discovered the Crowes in 1990, when I was 19. :)

@@chioffes In 1990 you were 19, me 25 ... ok we are part of the same generation ... (phew!) :-D

@@FabioSanna65 .... Those were great back to back albums. (Southern Harmony and Amorica)

Agreed.

Surpassed by Freak n Roll though.

If only Ed could have been part of it - as it was planned.

Saw them same year here in UK, in nottingham. Met Ford and Steve Gorman outside the venue before the show. They were dashing back and forth between backstage and the bus, because Rich was on the bus and Chris backstage, both saying they would never play with the other again, slinging insults through Ford and Gorman. Of course they played that night, and it was magic.

Ruisrock?

God damn straight dude !

Truth

Most definitely

You must have missed Luther Dickinson amazing guitar player. Marc last tour with the crowes was a disaster he was wasted and sounded terrible!! He sounds amazing here tho

Do you mean the 6 month period when Ford actually had his shit together?Over time he has become vastly overrated.Luther Dickenson is much better as well as a solid member of the Crowes.Period.

WESTSTAND WAILER if I remember rightly we pulled the fence down that year. Oops.

Yeah I was one of those. Just judged them by their first album. Were not cooking on all cylinders yet, I think. And had not known about their live shows. I see now I missed a lot of great rock n roll shows. Great that I have these vids.

@@capwillis19 yea, to me a great band has to be great live.

They were seen as a bunch of impersonators , but listening to them now , nobody actually sounds like them , Chris has a unique voice which you know instantly

No they weren't. They were huge. Not oasis but filling arenas and festivals just the same

Was thinking the same thing.

I always love that about Chris. He has never changed in all these years. He's not going to compromise the music for nothing. I admire him so much for that! I'm so sick of hearing Hard To Handle and She Talk To Angels that i am glad they weren't playing them alot live- even though they were the big hits. I am one that really digs the deep album cuts, so when they pull out gems like P25 London I am in heaven. Plus, it is so cool to hear them play Ballad Of Urgency and Wiser Time back to back in the proper sequencing as they were meant to be heard. That is pretty darn cool as well.

Sterling Music I agree...IF they get to play for 2 hours. Saw them like one week after this gig, another festival, and just like right here, they only had like 45 minutes, and they played 2 covers, and a similar jam like right here...only 1 song from Amorica, and that’s my favorite fucking record!!!

@@kiekko673 Totally agree. I love to hear them jam as much as anyone, when it's a whole gig. For a 45 minute set in front of a huge crowd it seems self indulgent. I wouldn't want to hear Hard to Handle or She Talks To Angles, but if I went to a festival looking forward to hearing the Black Crowes I'd want them to get as many songs in 45-50 min as possible. A couple of weeks ago I read Gorman's memoir about the band and this gig fits what he was talking about. Starting during this time period Chris got into the Grateful Dead and was trying to force the Black Crowes to become like them. The BC could jam as well as any band out there, but they were also a GREAT rock and roll band. Watching footage from 92-94 they were a lot different of a live band. They were on fire! It's amazing to watch. I agree with you, Amorica is my favorite record as well!! Also I'm not saying this is a bad performance. I've watched this version of Ballad into Wiser times A LOT! But I get to do so via KZfaq and then watch whatever else of theirs I want to next. I didn't have to go to a huge festival for a few days to not get to hear the songs I'd have wanted to hear from the Black Crowes ;) I think the 2005 version of the band may have been the best of both worlds. They had regained some of that fire and were playing lots of great material. And they also had some AMAZING jams. The Freak N Roll CD/DVD is still one of my favorites by them. Unfortunately it just seems they could never maintain their peak. Too much drugs, booze, and ego. All these rumors of a 2020 reunion have me bracing to be let down. Gorman 99% won't be involved and who knows who else will be in the band. HOPEFULLY Marc and Sven will be. Especially since they are already playing with Rich in Magpie Salute. But knowing Chris he won't want them in the band because they would be on Rich's "side". It would be awesome if all those guys could check their egos and just go out and be great again as THE Black Crowes.

Chad Huskey Totally agree. Read the Gorman’s book right away, when it came out. That period with Luther was fucking great. I heard some rumors, that Rich had some kinda falling out with Marc Ford, and that The Magpie Salute is finished. Fucking shame if it’s true, it was a great band. In the end I think that both Robinson brothers have huge egos, and want to be the leaders of whatever band they are playing in, just like Gorman wrote. Another thing might be, that Ford just didn’t want to tour that much, but spend more time with his family instead, while the Robinsons seem to wanna be on the road all the time. While Marc had a solo career, he was just playing gigs every now and then, and was living pretty easy going life. Touring is fucking ruff, especially when you’re not young anymore, plus people are different... Anyway, the reunion of the BC is just about the money, which kinda turns me off, even though I don’t know who’s gonna be in it. I wouldn’t surprised though, if it’s in the end going to be Gorman, Sven etc. I doubt however, that Marc is in. Luther got tired also in the end, and they had to call Jackie Greene, so it might be him. who knows, it won’t last long anyway. I remember them playing Hard to Handle, Sister Luck plus 2 covers and a long jam, Thorn in my pride, Remedy, and only one song from Amorica like I said, luckily that was High head blues which was the opener. They should have thought about the audience more, especially when they knew, that they only had 45 mins, PLUS that was in Finland, where they almost never came to play (that was their last gig ever in there, and the last chance for many fans to see the band, but they just didn’t give a fuck... Well, peace to you, brother! ✌️

@@kiekko673 This is not the full set list for this show, look it up on Crowesbase.net. I was @ this show.

greetings from the great state of texas how on earth would you know Marc was on drugs at this show....just wondering...he is now a Christian thank God

I've met plenty of Christians that like to get high. I love Marc & that he got off the hard stuff, but I think he still likes his herb. Just sayin'. I could be wrong, but just because you're a "so-called" Christian, doesn't mean you can not enjoy Mother Earth's bounty. BTW... Magpie is just killin' it!

I am pretty sure they are all high. lmao

HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW IF THE GUY IS HIGH......GROW UP BRO....THIS BAND IS GREAT !!! AMAZING.....EVEN IF THEY ARE HIGH....asswipe. GROW UP

Joe Maurello Marc Had a terrible heroin addiction In this period and later it started to affect his playing on stage so it’s possible he’s flying here lmao

Blew oasis away!!!

AMORICA !

Golfman he was buried in the mix most often also

Most people don't know how important a good rhythm section really is

ed was a really nice guy and a monster player.

He was the best musician in the band. Gorman attested to this.

​@marleyandme447 that's like asking a taxi driver who the best Indy racer is.😂

I've seen 'The Black Crowes' a couple of times without them and honestly, it's like seeing a Black Crowes tribute band with a really good singer and rhythm guitarist.

And Gorman too! That dude grooves!

@@jprice276 definitely. Love how they downplay his importance..He was/is a GREAT drummer. Was unbelievable on the Page/Crowes shows.

+TBC Marc Ford Years I was there! They were on after Soul Asylum and before Oasis as I recall.

+Dan R . Hey , wonder what happened to Soul Asylum ....Memorable show !

+TBC Marc Ford Years They are still going, only the singer is the original band member now

+TBC Marc Ford Years Me and a friend were listening to this live on BBC Radio1 here in the UK. A nice hot, sunny evening with a few beers and a few doobies. I`ll never forget it. Would have loved to have been there though but we felt part of it :-)

+IOW Dave Very cool I guess BBC Radio 1 must be a subscriber type radio like we have Syrius Radio in the US as they would never broadcast a live show on a regular radio station for free.Nothing like a late afternoon outdoor festival watching TBC and Marc Ford on guitar however it sounds like you had the next best option, Cheers!

Randal Savage drugs

Yet the Crowes blew them off the stage.

Hah as he should have been. But he’d never admit it.

Both bands went on to tour together.

yes and they looked and sounded like 8 year olds just starting on their instruments compared to this... not they ever looked or sounded good...

Wake Marc reminds me of Duane and Dickey for sure. But if you really look into his licks you’ll hear Hendrix for sure since he sighs him as his biggest influence

You can also hear a ton of crazy horse/Neil in his solo stuff.

Cheers to anyone who knows Jimi Hendrix Dickey betts and Marc Ford, and this whole band is 🔥 kinda like the stones I start to appreciate every phase/lineup etc

Oasis was up next. Apparently. some of Oasis watched what they were supposed to follow.

Nah. They showed they could do it all. American Records was going under. That's what sank them. American wasn't going to spend money on a band they weren't going to have. No one could touch that band in the 90s, musically, anyway. You're talking about a band that raised the bar in l like 18 months transitioning from some awkward shit hair metal and whatever else, with a pinch of Grunge thrown in, where they grew under the radar. This lineup was completely in another stratosphere in terms of stretching out. They were like Traffic, but heavier.

@@afmartin2734 Oh, I'm not saying this era of the Crowes was bad. Still great and better than Dave Matthews Band. But their soulfulness is what set them apart, musicianship aside. Chris subjugated that soul a bit around this time.

Something changed beside band members and almost half the band dealing with drug problems. Look at the CRB thats what C.R. thought he wanted. The BC rocked harder than the CRB or any side project.

@Divataster🛐 I'm still with the initial post - I like the jams, but Robinson's total 180 on the Grateful Dead lead to him dropping all of that crazy, manic energy he had as a frontman. How he went from being so anti-hippy to embracing it was disappointing but not surprising. And I'm sure drugs had a lot to do with his suddenly liking their music. It's just my opinion but it would take me a LOT of drugs to enjoy... hell, even tolerate The Grateful Dead.

@@MJ-ix7wmDrugs to that to so many!!!

Your liking isn't a very good liking.
