"Hard To Handle" by The Black Crowes from the album Shake Your Money Maker released in 1990 - now in HD #TheBlackCrowes #HardToHandle #Remastered vevo.ly/O3L6Pj
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.
@@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.
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
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."
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! 🔫🎸
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
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
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!!!
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.
Cheers to the Robinson Brother's and one of the Greatest Rock-N-Roll Bands of All Time! I love thisss Minha banda preferida de Southern rock. This song was randomly in my head and it took awhile to find it.
I remember hearing HTH at a time when the newbies had just about ended funky rock. It changed my life and the positive energy flow gave me new life that the music vampires had almost drained out of the lifeblood happy music from the heart!
I saw them at Toad’s Place in New Haven. Early 90s. Just listened to acoustic set on Sirius XM from 2/19/20 in Boston. Chris’ voice is still amazing! So happy to know they’re are performing and are healthy.
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.
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
The very best debut album ever!!!! EVER!!!! This is a cover of Otis Redding, but a good one though. I loved this guys.. From early 90's until now, 2020..!! Long live to R&R
I love this song. I was a young lad when this came out. Still love the black crows. This was my cure to the House and Acid House which I hated and still hate Rap. I love Rock, Grunge, Cyber Punk, Classic Rock, Progressive Rock etc
Occasionally I get to sing this in cover bands- I can wait to get to that beginning of the third verse: "Baaaaby, here I am!" What a freaking great tune by a great band.. Redding must love this version.
I just like the song because I have no idea what he's saying during the chorus. It sounds like, "hey little mamma, Hennessey, candle fire, and whatnot.."
Fantastic song; always a banger no matter how many times you hear it. Chris sings it with such conviction ooof, I believe him,,,sexy,,,♥️,,,love his cowboy hat
Worthy rendition of the great Otis Redding song. Saw Black Crowes in 06. Very entertaining band. They opened for Tom Petty. What a great night of music that was....
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 ;)
An amazing tribute to the great Otis Redding! Georgia sons representing a Georgia son and legend. Straight up Rock N Roll!
Still a great song

That's bloody brilliant, my friends down under!!!
They rocked, don't give AF what anyone says❤
They still rock!
I agree 💯
who would say something else?
I love Ottis Redding, What a classic song. Black Crowes did an amazing job!
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.
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.
Brendon o’Brian did an incredible guitar solo on this ❤
The Black Crowes play in another league, they are light years away from the rest of the bands, they are from another planet ✌️☮️✌️
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.
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 am here for The Black Crowes alone! Such a band, such a guy!
One of the best bands in America!
could not agree more 👌🏻
I love this band too. They make me dance like no other do
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
Amen to that😀
That's a really cool name for a band. If I ever get a band can I use it?
@@goingbonzo5923 You need to one up them and call your band Even Harder To Handle.
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
Oh thats why it sounds so fucking awesome. Its from 1990.
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
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!

This band brought me back to the blues. Thank you very much Black Crowes , you did me a big favour.

This is what is missing from Rock music for a long time... SOUL

Love the combo of rock and Soul. Chris sounds a little like Jonny Lang?
2024 and still rocking
コートニーの歌声と豹変っぷりが凄すぎて鳥肌立って感動して原曲聞きにきた。
コートニーが思った以上にアレンジしててもっと感動した。
同じくコートニーに感動して聞きに来たものです😭😭😭😭
本当に凄いですよね✨💓
最高!😭✨💓💓💓💓💓
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!
One of my favorite brother duos. They are soooo underrated.
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. ❤

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

One of my favorite songs. It still rocks just as hard as when it first dropped 💯❤️

Minha banda preferida de Southern rock.
This song was randomly in my head and it took awhile to find it.
Music like that need to be the new mainstream
On elf my favorites---going to see The Black Crowes TONIGHT in California
I remember hearing HTH at a time when the newbies had just about ended funky rock. It changed my life and the positive energy flow gave me new life that the music vampires had almost drained out of the lifeblood happy music from the heart!
Absolute banger, heard it the radio years ago, been chasing them every since 😊💚
Brendan O'Brien plays that solo! Genius! 🎸
Also organ
@@slimturnpike brilliant

Fantastic soulful band that rocks! I love them :)

I just like good music. Glad to see others are finding out about The Black Crowes now too.
I keep coming back for this. Let’s dance and partake
The best rock'n roll band, for ever!!!! (en français: Vivement le concert du 21 mai à l'Ancienne Belgique!!!))
Seen them in concert back in the day after they came on the scene.... GREAT concert and great times back then 🙂
Still bringing down the house, I saw them performing just 4 days ago in Bend. 10/10 would see them again next year.
This never gets old. Hell yeah!!
Occasionally I get to sing this in cover bands- I can wait to get to that beginning of the third verse: "Baaaaby, here I am!" What a freaking great tune by a great band.. Redding must love this version.
CLASSIC ALBUM. I remember putting it on and every song was awesome.
To those who don't know, many scenes are filmed at Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy Wi. Great place to see a live show.
The very best debut album ever!!!! EVER!!!!
Great, we need more best quality videos. Long live The Black Crowes.
One of my Favorite Dancing Songs of All Time💛🎶

I love The Black Crowes version of this song!!!!!!! Lol
@ChrisRobinsonMusic I'm okay and you?
Love this song, thanks to The Black Crows 😊
Who's here because they've been around since the early 70s , and this is the music of our generation ?
Heard this today while night driving from work on a 13 mile long road on the water. Sooo good!
I like this shit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Greetings from Hungary ✌️🇭🇺✌️

Who is here because this is great music you grew up listening to and nothing else but that brought you here?
