Jimi Page & The Black Crows: Live At The Greek 2000

Well turns out someone’s paying attention - Gus (from Argentina I think) a regular to the blogosphere asked the other day about this gem and yet my spam folder claimed his request at Swappers Mansions so what do ya know but Kostas was on the case and hopefully the ‘visitor' will see this either here or over at URBANASPIRINES

In October 1999 The Black Crowes was joined by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for two pairs of shows in New York and Los Angeles, yielding a live release, Live at the Greek on TVT Records. Due 

to contractual issues with Columbia, Live at the Greek does not feature any of the band's songs performed with Page. The collaboration led to a more extensive tour with Page and The Who in summer 2000, during which Pipien was replaced by Greg Rzab. Following the tour, singer Chris Robinson married actress Kate Hudson on December 31, 2000, before heading back to the studio to record the band's sixth studio album.
                     

The Black Crowes were dogged with comparisons to the Rolling Stones and the Faces throughout the first decade of their career, so it came as a mild surprise that they teamed with Led Zeppelin guitarist 

Jimmy Page in late 1999 for a couple of concerts. Zeppelin had a mystique and majesty about them that the Crowes never attempted to emulate. They were an earthy, bluesy rock band and while they found a number of different ways to rework their influences, they never tried the stately grandeur that was Zeppelin's second nature. So, some observers were curious to see how these two approaches worked. Well, it worked very, very well indeed.
