The Black Crowes :: 08.29.10 :: Fillmore Auditorium :: Denver, CO

The Black Crowes rolled into the Fillmore Auditorium possibly for the last time as part of the band’s “Goodbye to the Bad Guys” tour. After an extensive run of U.S. concert dates scheduled between August and December of 2010, the band has announced they will be taking an indefinite break.

The Crowes are also on the road to support their new album of re-recordings of tracks from their 20 years together titled Croweology. The two-disc album was recorded in Los Angeles and is 100-percent acoustic. During the Fillmore Auditorium show in Denver, The Black Crowes’ entire first set was played with acoustic instruments, a big change from the loud rock ‘n’ roll their rep is based on.

The Black Crowes current lineup features brothers Chris (vocals, guitar) and Rich Robinson (guitar, vocals), Steve Gorman (drums), Sven Pipien (bass), Luther Dickinson (guitar) and Adam McDougall (keyboards).

On September 11 2010, The Black Crowes will be inducted into the 32nd Annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards Show. Former inductees include Widespread Panic and R.E.M.. The event marks the 20th anniversary of The Black Crowes multi-platinum album Shake Your Moneymaker. If you’re in the Georgia area or consider yourself a true fan try and make it down to the Hall Of Fame Awards show; it’s a rocking good time!!

One can only hope the hiatus is not indefinite. The Black Crowes have been putting their heart and soul into rock ‘n’ roll for the last 20 years. As one member of the crowd said, “This is the only hippie band left. Look at him (Chris Robinson) and Luther (Dickinson).” I couldn’t help but agree. With the addition of Luther Dickinson, the guitars were blazing throughout the night; such a great sound.

Setlist
Set I: Soul Singing, Hotel Illness, The Last Place That Love Lives, Ballad In Urgency, Wiser Time, She, Under a Mountain, Whoa Mule, My Morning Song, She Talks To Angels, No Speak No Slave

Set II: Remedy, Seeing Things, Jealous Again, Thorn’s Progress > Thorn In My Pride, Oh! Sweet Nuthin’, High Head Blues, Sometimes Salvation, Halfway to Everywhere
E: Title Song, Hot Burrito #2

JamBase Questionnaire: The Black Crowes

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from Scott Tournet of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and Blues & Lasers.

No one drums quite like Steve Gorman. The only original founding member besides the Robinson Brothers in The Black Crowes literally follows his own beat. Like Zep’s John Bonham (easily the most apt ancestor one can find), Gorman knows the spread from New Orleans rolls to Valhalla shaking power fills to delicate, jazz textured intricacy but never utilizes these elements in a familiar or obvious way. Gorman’s rhythm sensibility, in all its wonderfully idiosyncratic grooving, is as much a trademark part of the Crowes’ sound as the massive guitar riffs or Chris’ eloquent barding. Potent as all get out, his stick work has a unique swing that intertwines with rather than overpowers songs, underpinning the superstructure of the Crowes with resilience and great creativity.

Gorman and the rest of the flock fly very high indeed on the newly released Croweology, a two-disc, acoustic leaning stroll through 20 shining moments from the past 20 years. Picked and executed with obvious passion and care, this set shines a light on both the widely-known (“She Talks To Angels,” “Jealous Again,” “Remedy”) and deep catalogue cuts (“Downtown Money Waster,” “Soul Singing,” “Morning Song”), finding gospel inflection and sparkling freshness in highly personal numbers like “Ballad In Urgency/Wiser Time” but also the well-worn hits. The intention behind this career-spanning assortment is clear – to offer a succinct idea of what constitutes Black Crowes Music – and the band succeeds beyond expectation. Even diehards will likely find much to love in these warmly massaged variations, which continually offer small, subtle surprises to the attentive ear. More than anything, one comes away with the sense that there’s still a lot of life left inside this music and the folks who make it.

The Crowes embark on the “Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys Tour” starting August 13th in Milwaukee and concluding with a multi-night run at the Fillmore in San Francisco in December. These three-hour performances (in most markets) are being billed as “Acoustic Hors D’oeuvres followed by an Electric Reception with The Black Crowes,” and will consist of a 90-minute acoustic set followed by a 90-minute electric set. See full tour dates here. (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Steve had to say to our inquiries.

Steve Gorman by Josh Miller

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Instruments

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
Beatles VI

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
A drummer in a rock band and Arsenal’s striker. One out of two ain’t bad.

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
A large festival gig wherein our set (A) follows that of a band I always wanted to see but hadn’t yet and (B) immediately precedes a World Cup match.

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
That I am extremely happy with how little about me people actually know.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
Any crash cymbal and my kids having a good time. Not necessarily in that order.

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
Any of the many albums that I love. There are too many to pick just one, or two, or thirty.

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
A restaurant in Madrid that I swore I would always remember, but of course can’t. But, if you put me in the same hotel, whose name I have also forgotten, I could get you to that restaurant. Straight out the front door, go left at the fork, down the second alley to the right and bingo!

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Glasgow, Scotland

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Again, there are too many to pick just one, or two, or thirty.

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
The Beatles. Did anyone else throw down over 200 songs (that every person over 35 years old in the Western hemisphere has heard and can hum along to) in only 7 years? I don’t think so.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
An oil executive explain that the ocean is very, very large, and that the oil spill was comparatively very, very small.
