Nearly 20 years after they released their first album, and after an unceremonious split in 2002, their latest release, Warpaint, proves the band has lost none of their signature blend of blues-infused vintage hard rock. See the group Melody Maker Magazine hailed as “the Most Rock N' Roll Rock N' Roll Band in the World.â€FRIENDS ON SALE: Wed April 30 at 10amPUBLIC ON SALE: Fri May 2 at 2pmA limit of 4 tickets per FriendsFirst account applies.

Basher Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 KK, don't be shocked if there aren't any prime seats in the friends presale - Crowes did their own presale on Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Really? Thanks for the info. I really want to hit this show, but there's a lot of other stuff going on right around then, and I'm tapped for cash right now. I'm probably going to have to pass on it, or at least not get my tix until later (and take a chance).Good luck if you're giving it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'd be shocked if this sold out, but at the same time I hope that they do sell out the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 is Marc Ford in this version of the Crowes?I've caught them 4 times - always some rippin' solos by Marc - I hope he's there - I know he left the group shortly after last year's show at Massey Hall.

It's Massey Fucking Hall.Is there something in the water? What's the problem?It's hard to sell-out that venue if ticket prices are high. The Cowboy Junkies didn't have a sell-out for their goddam Trinity Session 20th Anniversary concert. Herbie Hancock had a half-full house. The Crowes haven't had a hit in seven years, if you think "Soul Singing" was a hit? I hope they sell it out, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote']I'm sorry, but I think the Black Crowes have a little bigger of a draw than the Cowboy Junkies, even if they're a Toronto band - I think they'll easily sell out this venue.

fluffhead77 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 and no, Marc Ford is not playing with them - so I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm not saying The Junkies are on-par commercially to The Black Crowes, but I expected a sell out for The Trinity Session anniversary show and it wasn't, even with Ryan Adams' name attached to the bill. Massey Hall isn't an easy venue to sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Chris RobinsonRich RobinsonSven Pipien- bassLuther Dickinson- slide/ lapSteve Gorman- drumsAdam MacDougall- keysThat is off of the top of my head, but I think thats current. Yeah too bad about Ford, but the Robinsons are pricks so its no surprise. I was shocked and saddened by the departure of Eddie, who was always a breathe of fresh air during the shows (and who usually wore a Detroit Red Wings jersey!).CK on lights for this tour, but not sure if he can cross the border.This will fucking rock, the last time I got to see the Crowes in Massey they confused the shit out of the Q107 crowd playing about 5 rare covers, and none of their hits except Remedy. 10.17.96 if memory serves.......Seanps. I really really like this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 This is still up for debate AD. Ford claimed his attempts at sobriety on tour were not being met with open arms by all members of the band and he found this very difficult. The final days are a mystery but I think the official notice from the band seemed to indicate he had been kicked out.He is one good mofo on that axe, its really too bad. I don't think Richs ego could handle it personally, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 i can't get to that download, i was trying a few times yesterday. any tips? i registered and everything.for whatever reason (and you're right, it's kind of a mystery / he-said-they-said) he ceased to be a Crowe in September 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ersh Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 There were about 8-10 screens to go through before it actually started downloading. I almost quit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Once I was logged in, on the main page there is a link to download free mp3, then the next screen puts it in your cart, then complete the deal and an asp screen with a download manager opens immediately. This is all in IE though. I am stealing wireless from the neighbor on an older laptop and it only took about 10 minutes to grab the whole thing.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Luther Dickinson- slide/ lap <-- that sounds like a great fit ! Is this just a hiatus for his band the North Missisipi Allstars?He's a great guitarist - not so excited about his singing/songwriting - of course I'm not the most familiar with his work.can anyone say if Luther is fitting well ??
