Nope. The 70 minute show they put on at the Salt Air last time they were here lessens my disappointment, though.

That's fuckin weak sauce. That they're not coming and they only played for 70 minutes. I don't understand some bands that I have seen that have these big crowds and people screaming their names, and all they do is go through the motions and get on and off as soon as possible. Lame.

FWIW, I've seen them several times and it's never been less than 2.5 hours, minimum. Something was wrong would be my guess.

With NMAS opening - they were as good as ever - "oldie" setlist - Rich is obviously pissed @ Chris and/or the again. Encore was cover of RS's "Cant you hear me knocking" = good

I got to thinking that they were just doin' a classic schtick, 2 brothers that can't stand each other....until the show here in boston a few weeks back. Not one bad vibe b/t the robinson bros.every member of the band has a beard now, except the guy on keyboards who was just a lil scruffy.
They sound fucking awesome live !
Long LIVE da Crowes, one of my favorite jam bands EVER !

HOW DARE YOU, WILLY! The Crowes are NOT a jam band. Fucking not. Fuck fuck fuck. I've seen enough jam bands to know and the Crowes are called Rock'n'Roll. Just cause the hippies embraced them doesn't mean they're anywhere near as boring as Panic, unoriginal as Govt. Mule or utterly souless as Phish.

I'm fine. Seriously.

you make an excellent point Rev, I stand corrected. I thought they'd qualify as a jam band if every band member was a scruffy bearded hippy.

**The Reverend Floater** · 03-18-2008, 08:19 AM

What's the date, Arty? I checked their site but I can't tell exactly which show that is. Will there be decent mtb'ing by then or too early? I may have to make a trip out there for this one!

**Tippster** · 03-18-2008, 09:21 AM

August 3rd at Wolf Trap for any Mid-Atlantic maggots.... Tix not yet on sale.

**Rideski** · 03-19-2008, 09:07 PM

Are they playing this on tour?

**willywhit** · 03-19-2008, 10:21 PM

I think the real beauty of this tour , besides them playing small venues, is that you never know what they're gonna put together for a setlist. You'll hear a fair amount of songs from Warpaint but they'll whip out some stuff from all over. That NEM tune from Letterman 2004 really rocks. They'll throw in a Sting Me or some other classic Crowes tune but it's not a hit list, not even close. http://www.newearthmud.net/oldmud.cfm
these guys are the real deal

**Pinner** · 03-20-2008, 02:18 PM

The only CO date is the Mile High Music Festival.

Might need to join you Floater, for the Harrah's run.

**willywhit** · 10-16-2008, 12:11 AM

coming around again !
10/14 providence
10/15 portland
10/17 boston

**BmillsSkier** · 11-05-2019, 08:06 AM

Looks like the band might be getting back together.

Saw a billboard just like this on the way in this morning

Popping up in other cities too.

I’m in.

**Woodsy** · 11-05-2019, 08:17 AM

it would be surprising but great to see.
Last run was ( @ ) ( @ )

I don't know, there seems to be some smoke here.

Then again it's the Robinson brothers so it could all go to hell in a matter of days anyway.

Wonder if Steve Gorman will be a part of it?

**BmillsSkier** · 11-06-2019, 12:40 PM

Steve Gorman says its on, and has an interesting take on the reasons behind it, and if he'll be involved.
