The Black Crowes are in a bitter divorce between the brothers Robinson. It seems the band and players past are split between Chris and Rich, touring and recording with one or the other and it will probably remain that way until the brothers reconcile...or a big enough check comes their way.
We loved later day Crowes, especially Before The Frost...Until The Freeze which RtBE would rank as the most complete album the band ever released. Seriously. That said the last few tours we caught them on with Jackie Green on guitar were underwhelming.
With both brothers going separate ways, Chris has mostly steered clear of his old bands songs while playing in Chris Robinson Brotherhood but he went back to the classics for this tour with an outfit called As The Crow Flies.
Half cover band, half original, all of the good old songs. Marcus King is in the mix and one of RtBE's favorite Crowes members Audley Freed kicking ass like in the old days. This isn't pro shot or pro sound, but it is certainly watchable to get a sense of this tour both visually and audibly.
Taken just last month at the Electric Factory in Philly, here are As the Crow Flies. Full setlist below. Enjoy:
