Chris Robinson with The Black Crowes at Hangout Music Festival
Southern rockers The Black Crowes ended their two and a half
year hiatus this spring with an extensive tour including a prime time slot
Saturday night at The Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This performance marked their return to The
Hangout after their appearance at the first Hangout in 2010. Their hiatus proved not to hinder the quality
of their live shows. In fact, it was
quite the opposite. They played with as
much power and charisma as they ever have.
Vocalist Chris Robinson’s easily identifiable voice echoed over the beautifully
sunny beach full of chanting swimsuit-clad fans.
By David Oppenheimer The Black Crowes performed last night, September 19, 2010 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, NC on their Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys tour. The band got its start in 1984 prior to adopting their current name. The Black Crowes have announced that this is their last tour after two decades on the road. (Click on photos to view full size)
The tour, accompanying the 2010 release of an acoustic based release Crowology with recordings of rearrangements of many of the band's popular original songs, is composed of a full acoustic set and a electric set at each venue. The acoustic set not one of those stay in your seat performances. Instead, Luther Dickenson blazed on the slide with his plugged in acoustic guitars making some forget they were listening to an acoustic set.

The Black Crowes current band members on tour are Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Luther Dickinson, Adam MacDougal, Steve Gorman, Joe Magistro, Sven Pipien, Charity White and Mona Lisa Young.
