They "went out" pitifully. It was disgraceful. They were on the precipice of their 25th anniversary tour, which would have been the perfect time to bow out to their fans with a thank you tour. LITERALLY everyone in the band was down with that concept, except Chris, who wanted Steve Gorman to completely surrender his 1/3 of the BC profit split to Chris and become a salaried member, like a guy who joined the band that year, and also wanted his brother Rich to surrender most of HIS 1/3 BC profit split (to Chris' wallet, of course). If you look up hypocritical rock star in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Chris F'n Robinson - The ultimate sell-out.
@Pat Myers - please correct the description of this video - I know you know that it's Crowes, not "Crows", since you typed it correctly in the title of the video.
Probably the closest thing to the essence of the Rolling Stones (Exile and Sticky Fingers) that I have heard. Amazing band for a some Mississippi hippies. Thank You Black Crowes for being Rock n' Roll.
I said when The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion first came out that it was the closest album ever to Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street album. The dirty gritty rockin' sound and the soulful r&b tunes on it had the same vibe the Stones presented on thier 1972 album.
I have seen them many times and they are one of my favorites for sure. But from the rumor mill that swirls I would sadly have to agree . I dont think we will ever see them doing what they did best as a happy band. We have all been there. Not everyone can work with everyone. Like anything else there can be only Chief.
Chris the the problem. He wants all the money and all the credit and all the fame. Steve's book says it all. Steve's book tells the truth and nothing but the truth.
Je les écoute en boucle, j'ai eu la chance de les voir 4 x en concert et je les ai croisé une fois dans la rue, ils sont fantastiques, que nous reste-t-il à écouter d'aussi bon en cemoment ??
Was at this show and kept thinking, "I've gotta see these guys every time they're in the Bay Area!". Ironically, this was their last show... BUT, this show cooked!
They are back they where going to play Saratoga. But then it’s 2020 so guess what, everything is cancelled. I was looking forward to dead and co and the black crows. All gone!
Thanks for posting the show, and the quality of the recording was great. But, I could only make it 59 minutes. I have seen these guys dozens of times and they are among my favorites. Some of my greatest memories were at their concerts in the late 90s early 2000s. This show physically hurt my ears and soul to listen to. I had much bigger expectations. I could not finish it.
Hes right in what he told you, it wasnt a competition that you were judging. And they sure as fuck werent competing with each other. With that being said the last couple years 2012 2013 def. werent the best years to go see them, but if youre a true Black Crowes fan , which you are not, you take the great with the mediocre , as it is what it is. Now if you got to be at shows back in the late 90s or 2005-2010 which I also have a feeling you probably werent haha, those were the epitome of Black Crowes Jamming at their best. period.. but anyway Id also say you probably dont have that "i bleed " a particular bands colors either and if not then you wouldnt understand "the Deal" but either way Bless you and may you find the unconditional love that music brings
I was fortunate enough to be on the rail with my wife for this show......one of my all time faves....so great to be able to watch it again......and again......and again...lol.....thanks for sharing!
Chris the lead singer told the other guys if they wanted to continue that he wanted all the money. So there are some bad feelings left with the other guys. Rumor has it that a 2020 comeback tour is in the works.
Chris is such a great frontman and singer. Say what you will about him as a personality but not many people can sing and be in the moment of music like him. Early on I felt he was just aping older idols. Some of those mannerisms are still there but he had freed himself up and moved and reacted to the music in such an organic way that it was joyful to watch. There is so much posing and cliche going on in music. I hope more new musicians get inspired by this type of band. Also anyone that is criticizing any line up the Crowes had is foolish. You many have your preferences, that's understandable. But there has never been a bad line up. Marc is a favorite and I agree, but everyone that has played with the Crowes has been a pretty stellar musician. Lastly, what makes the Crowe's great in the end is the songwriting and that is the hardest part.
Two brothers! Polar Opposites! Far happier apart than they ever were together. Chris wants to be part of the Dead. Rich wants to continue doing the good time rock and roll in the style of the crowes. The music that made you click on this page to begin with. The Black Crowes are done. You however cannot replace chemistry. Chris claims he's The Mastermind behind the crows on Howard Stern yet I don't hear a damn hint of that and his solo music. Magpie salute... new song send me an omen more reminiscent of the Crowes than anything Chris is put out. Guess what folks? Rich actually smiles now on stage!! I'm usually not a big fan of replaced singers but John Hogg does an absolutely phenomenal job. Chris complains about rich being in a cover band yet he went out with as the crow flies. Yeah he's got that voice but there's a lot to be said for chemistry cuz he sure doesn't have a band that sounds anything like the crowes. I think sadly we've seen the last of The Black Crowes. This Auditorium show is good I was there. It certainly doesn't have the fire that used to have though. As long as the brothers are alive There's Hope but I don't see it happening. For those of you that want that old Crowes feeling!! Two words!! MAGPIE SALUTE!!!!
I WAS THERE...Tedesci Trucks Band opened for them! I had no idea I was attended the last Crowes concert...very doubtful they will ever reunite again...Same!
You are correct, The Black Crowes will never reunite, however, the Robinson brothers are. I am sure it will still be great, it's just not the Crowes. I saw Page & Plant in 1995, and I am so glad I did, but it was not Led Zeppelin. I think this is similar. For people who never got to see the Crowes, with Gorman, et al, this will be the next best thing.
Yeah, Chris ran it into the ground for the sake of psychedelics. Saw them 5 months before this and the writing was on the wall. Chris just wants to be an egotistical burnout.
haha..The once great band...I doubt this is their last show, too. This is pretty mediocre, by the way. As long as Chris wants to use reverb and use these mediocre side musicians who don't complete their potential as a band, this is what fans will get. It;s still better than 99% of what is passed off as rock and roll these days, but they will never be the real thing without Ed and Marc.
i was there it was awesome! I've seen the crowes since 92. sorry to say but i've seen every lineup and luther dickson on lead guitar and adam mcdougal on keys was their best lineup ever. Much more versality with setlists if you actually go on tour and dont appreciate the greatist hits every night imho....
i hated this tour they played all the hits from first 2 albums. show was for the casual fan, not hardcore crowe fans. and very un crowe like to play almost same setlist every show. left 2 shows pissed, not knowing it was the end. i miss luther and rich guitar battles. epic shit.

I never seen them live yet. I hope I get the chance. I understand what you are saying totally. These guys sure do move you to a different place.
If Jackie Greene is a mediocre sideman, I must be on the wrong planet...?
He's certainly no Marc Ford..
Jackie is far from just a sideman. ruclips.net/video/eS4DHKgteJs/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/goPQibnvZ9c/видео.html
But he's not a good sideman in this band @@grrspij
I like Jackie Greens solos and playing more than Luther Dickson. I've listened to a lot of Crowes live with both players.

Thank you for uploading this! I was there and thought I'd never get to relive it!
opening to Soul Singing was pretty loose, until drums kicked it into groove. I read Gorman's book, highly recommend it to all BC fans
Thanks for posting. Good quality and rare show! Also thanks to Forrest for the set list
Not that long ago when it was really about the music. Now they’re simply a nostalgia act.
Now it’s costumes and umbrellas. SMH
I did 8 shows for 2013, had I known it was the last tour I would have done more :( I love TBC :'(
That's how I feel now about 05-06 in hindsight. I hit 5 in 05 3 in 06. Some of the best rock concerts I have ever attended.
Best rock n roll group for me , my favorite band all the time !!!! who are the lead guitarist ??
@Pat Myers - please correct the description of this video - I know you know that it's Crowes, not "Crows", since you typed it correctly in the title of the video.
Annoying. Hope it gets corrected!
Missing the two female back up singers Rich has that Mick Taylor magic
Lol, Steve was in his ride home before they finished butchering the last number....
YA man. Finally RELEASED!!!!
Dig it
Probably the closest thing to the essence of the Rolling Stones (Exile and Sticky Fingers) that I have heard. Amazing band for a some Mississippi hippies. Thank You Black Crowes for being Rock n' Roll.
Georgia hippies.
They from Atlanta

I agree fully.
I agree as well!! The Black Crowes on an average night were a great band. A great night they were simply untouchable!!
Those Robinson brothers are nuts. But what a band!
I have seen them many times and they are one of my favorites for sure. But from the rumor mill that swirls I would sadly have to agree . I dont think we will ever see them doing what they did best as a happy band. We have all been there. Not everyone can work with everyone. Like anything else there can be only Chief.
Dick Jones
They were never a happy band. Never.
Of course the power of music and fans made them
usually forget that...for a couple of hours...✌️
