Seeing them LIVE in 5 hours. Sydney, Australia. 14/11/22. EDIT: Its the next day. My son and I got to the venue 2hrs early and staked our place at the front row. At the end of the show Rich flicked his pick into the crowd and my boy shot his hand up and caught it clean. As we left the venue we noticed the tiny laneway at the back of the venue and tried our luck walking down there to see what we could see. There were only about 5 other people there waiting for the band to come out. When Chris came out (about an hour later) he walked up to us and hung out for about 10min chatting with us. Glass of wine in hand and wearing a paisley shirt. He was so down to earth and chilled out it blew my mind. He recognized the Black Crowes Tshirt I was wearing from the '92 concert and shook my hand. Got a great photo of the 3 of us. Chris...If you're reading this you made my year, mate.
We used to buy one album between the four of us, record it in tapes for each one and toss a coin to decide who'd keep the original (the winner wouldn't participate in the next album's coin toss). We were poor 😂
@@1982Dawg Rich rarely played solos. Marc Ford was THE man for those. Just finished Steve Gorman's bio Too Hard to Handle. He says it was Brenden O'Brien (their engineer on SYMM) who played that particular solo.
You need to show some R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Chris Robinson does. "Speaking with Howard Stern in 2019, singer Chris Robinson called Redding “the greatest R&B/soul singer that ever was. The cool thing about ‘Hard to Handle’ at the time was that it was a B-side. So it wasn’t like I was singing ‘These Arms of Mine’ or something.” "Robinson mentions how playing the song solidifies the two artists’ southern connection and remains reverent to the original, saying, “Every time I do it, every time I sing it, I always know Otis is the greatest. I always know I’ll never do it as great. But I don’t think we attempted to re-do it.” "Redding’s original recording became a jigsaw puzzle for other bands to put together regarding the song’s riff and arrangement, so The Black Crowes simply polished it up, retained its wild edge, and put it on tape. The result would catapult the band into superstardom, reaching number one on on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, a notable improvement on the performance of their first single from Shake Your Money Maker, ‘Jealous Again’. The cover would become permanently associated with The Black Crowes, and the band continued to perform it throughout their career."
Back in 2008, me and 2 friends of mine founded a rock band. We named it Hard to Handle, because it was the first song we played together. Best memories of my life, this song still kicks asses
I have been trying to find this song for years. Used to hear it on radio all the time but never caught the name of the song or band in time. Song came on at work the other day actually caught the name that time. So stoked
Only these guys could do an Otis Redding classic justice. Fell in love with it the moment it came out as a kid and will always love it. Brings back a ton of awesome memories of summers in the South with my older sister who was in the Grunge scene looking like a combo of Kurt Kobain and Garth Algar. Oh, good, good times!
30 years on, have heard this song countless time and remember when it came out, and only NOW realize this is a cover, as well as i misheard several of the words. lol
Happy Birthday Rich Robinson born on May 24, 1969. He is an American musician and founding member of the rock and roll band the Black Crowes. Along with older brother Chris Robinson, Rich formed the band in 1984 (originally called Mr. Crowes Garden) while the two were attending Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia. At age 15, Rich wrote the music for "She Talks to Angels", which became one of the band's biggest hits. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Robinson
Well then! I put this on and my 2 year old granddaughter stopped what she was doing and got up to dance! Immediate fan! Saw you guys with Jimmy Page several years ago!! Talk about AWESOME!
I'm a die-hard Otis Redding fan since over 50 years ago but never paid attention to this song until shy yet thunderous 13 year-old Courtney Hadwin in her 2018 AGT audition gave it a whole new meaning for me.
I did see them when I worked for Bill Graham Presents at the Cal Expo Amphitheater. two of them were playing Frisbee and a 3rd one was riding a mountain bike around the field right by us, I did not know who they were till they did the sound check and played Hard To Handle, I picked up the CD right away after that great show!!! I would love to see them again!!!
These cats jammin'! Great cover of the Big O at his greatest. Remember first seeing this on MTV back in the day and thinking, "just goes to show you, music is universal, not just of one style, race, or genre, but it all fits neatly onto the keys of life". The same song can stir and be just as relative on the South side of Chicago, as in a hundred thousand seat arena rock concert! They did for Otis what he did for the Stones over fifty years ago with Satisfaction. Introduced it in their own way, and gained a greater sense of appreciation for the original, while spanning across typecast and narrow minded labels. Guns N Basses Forever! 🔫🎸
When I was a kid my dad would listen to this so loud as he worked out. I never understood the lyrics, but loved it anyways. Many many years later when I got my first flip phone with internet, I was able to google the lyrics, I was so wrong with what I thought it was, but so amazed. Love this song.
One of my favorite songs. It still rocks just as hard as when it first dropped 💯❤️ I loved this guys.. From early 90's until now, 2020..!! Long live to R&R
One thing's for sure, Chris had a gorgeous head of hair!!! I think they were underrated and never knew why. They were as good as anyone else at the time!
I saw these guys in Sydney Aus back in the 90's and they were absolutely awesome My neighbours are getting a Black Crowes music appreciation lesson tonight.....if they don't like it , it will be louder and go for longer tomorrow
Ooooh this is such a good song, this genre has GOT to come back!
It’s still around with new music. Just not on the radio much.
@@Tronmaster9000 some bands to check out?
There on tour in May in philly
@deliagriemsman2625 I'm in Philly &, Asbury park. They're playing Asbury in Sept with 311, Norah Jones, Bruce Springsteen and others
This genre is called Rock n Roll, came across the inner heart of soul and RNB music and i´m pretty sure, it will last forever ;)

That's so awesome. It makes my day reading it
They rocked, don't give AF what anyone says❤
They still rock!
I agree 💯
who would say something else?
I agree
@@christiannandresTool ❤
One of the all-time greatest cover versions. The Big-O himself would be proud of what The Black Crowes did with his great song.
Totally agree ! Well said.
One of the best covers of any song, Grateful Dead's version was good.
The big O nodding his head and tapping those mighty feet to this up there right now.
i agree but Otis has got the Stones, Satisfaction and Aretha Satisfaction on the shelf already.....strong stuff. heh.
@@giselcalderon8380 you realize that the song was lipsynced, correct? all those shows are rigged and fake.
1990. 16 years old. Friend and I combined our “savings” to buy the album and “share it”. Good times
Word. Saving up pocket money to buy an album made sure you really appreciated what you were paying for.

@@Comounaola73 to be honest that kind of comradery needs to return just as much as the music from those days, it's whats missing in society today.
I remember the title America’s Finest aged 17 in 1990
@@damadhattahttv It's there friend, just in different forms 🤘
What a Classic and I'm 54 and I still love listening to this group
I’m 63 and was in my 30s when this music was popular. I love grunge and alternative! And of course, classic rock from my teens and 20s.
F-YEAH...
BLACK CROWES FOREVER ❤
I don’t care about Arthur gun. The black crowes is why I’m here...
Same here! I didn't even know some random guy sang this in tv! I am here just because of the band
What about Otis?
good man
check out blackberry smoke
Are you available? Lonely in Sacramento Cali
Looking for that!
The Black Crowes play in another league, they are light years away from the rest of the bands, they are from another planet ✌️☮️✌️
2024 and still rocking
Very true
2:07 The amazing guitar solo, for those who just cannot get enough of it.
Carl Brown teaches that solo on his video.
He does a great job if you want to play it
And he was only 20 when he recorded it. Amazing
@@nesfan8 Love Rich, but he didn't play this solo. It was another studio guitarist brought in when they were recording SYMM
Truly exceptional.
@@1982Dawg Rich rarely played solos. Marc Ford was THE man for those. Just finished Steve Gorman's bio Too Hard to Handle. He says it was Brenden O'Brien (their engineer on SYMM) who played that particular solo.
Just my opinion, this is better than the original.
Lead player is Claptonesque.
Thank you MTv and 90s nostalgia for bringing me here.
This is what is missing from Rock music for a long time... SOUL
& Funk 🎶 🎵
Love the combo of rock and Soul. Chris sounds a little like Jonny Lang?
Great cover of 1960's classic by Otis Redding. This would've been a hit in the 1970's and every subsequent decade!
Agree it's timeless!

Still a great song

"Always running back for more." Truth.

Thank you again Black Crowes for keeping Otis Redding’s song alive 🎶🎶🎶❤️🙏ttt24
So very well said. Brings back memories of growing up in Macon.
I love Ottis Redding, What a classic song. Black Crowes did an amazing job!
Are you saying Otis did this song ?
What year did Otis do it ?
This is what happens when jamaraqui, rod stewart and mick jagger have a secret lovechild
I have been trying to find this song for years. Used to hear it on radio all the time but never caught the name of the song or band in time. Song came on at work the other day actually caught the name that time. So stoked

Ok
Great!
同じく、原曲を知らずコートニーの歌が素晴らしかったから聞きに来た。
結果、コートニーじゃないと満足できなくなってる。
ブラッククロウズは原曲じゃないですよ。これもカバー。元はオーティスレディング。
God bless Otis! Phenomenal cover!
Joe from Detroit. I will go from Detroit to Gary Indiana to see The Black Crowes October 18th at the Hard Rock Cafe . Peace
Who's here because they've been around since the early 70s , and this is the music of our generation ?
Not early 70s but I was born in 77
Even at 65 love a line and a VO on the rocks and rock lovin the CROWS
Hook me up
Whats VO

Surely a candidate for best cover version of all time. I mean, it sounds like it belongs to them, no matter how good the original is
This band brought me back to the blues. Thank you very much Black Crowes , you did me a big favour.
Haven't heard Stevie Ray Vaughn I take it??

Brendon o’Brian did an incredible guitar solo on this ❤
This song was always on MTV when i got home from Middel school" ❤ damn.. I Still love it. 🎶🎶🎶
This song never gets old :')
Never.
I remember seeing her on American Idol or was it America’s got talent? She sang the black crows song hard to handle..
They combine the essence of real old time rock n roll with an upbeat style that transcends time
Very true!
Do you feel Happy? Do you feel a little sad? Well, Congratulations! You have just been awarded this song! This song will cure all ailments. ❤
Music like that need to be the new mainstream
Oh thats why it sounds so fucking awesome. Its from 1990.
Well, I'm back 2 years later. My best friend is in hospice; could be anytime. This was one of her favorite songs. Ada, this one's for you. 😥❤
This record is a masterpiece. Any song in it could be a single.
You know this is a cover of Otis Redding
I love singing and dancing to this song! Chris Robinson is like the coolest person on earth in this video.
Excellent,chris Robinson is a amazing singer.
The song that saved rock from extinction!
The best rock'n roll band, for ever!!!! (en français: Vivement le concert du 21 mai à l'Ancienne Belgique!!!))
When my daughter was 7yrs old she sang along w/this song... She's now 38 💖
30 years on, have heard this song countless time and remember when it came out, and only NOW realize this is a cover, as well as i misheard several of the words. lol
Part of the reason it is a great cover is cause they do JUST enough to make it their own but keep the original flair
