Chris Robinson is a great frontman but in my opinion he's also the reason the crowes haven't had a big selling album in ages. ever since their 3rd album Amorica he's been trying to convert a rockband that's heavily influenced by the stones, faces, and humble pie and force them to sound like the grateful dead or phish.

Yeah I agree. And it felt contrived.
I mean in two short the band moved from a thight unit playing shrt rock'n roll songs (1990) to a jam band that stretches every number they play (1992).

Not true. First two times I saw the Crowes, in the early 90s, Marc Ford was still in the band, and already then both shows featured extended jams. Next time I saw them was around the By Your Side tour: almost no extended jams at all (I remember I was surprised). Lions tour, jams were back. Since the 2005 reunion concerts (saw them in NY) I'd say that they reached a balanced live formula.

Can't say I'm in love with Keith's soloing in that video. Quite boring for me.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion,but I wish the Stones could still write songs like this!Quote

Many Stones fans accusing Eric Clapton for being boring, but what about Black Crows then? OK OK I'm sorry if being to rude here but after listening to some of their songs on youtube...pheeewwww!

Chris Robinson
"It's a lot of water under the bridge, and it's complicated when you mix family into it," Chris Robinson said. "It's just sad and disappointing and unfortunate that this is the way that it sort of spilled out. I'm the kind of person that I'm not going to put my sordid family business and sad stuff out in the world. I don't think that it's interesting. That's the only way to sort of keep focused on what's been positive and progressive, and still celebrate what the band accomplished."
"I'll let my work and my attitude speak for themselves," Robinson added, "and let people believe what they want to believe and say what they want to say to get what they want."

They played no shows in 2002 and their comeback was 2005. Sorry for being pedantic.Quote

One of my all-time fave bands; seen them around 15-20 times from the first album 1990, thru the amazing shows for the 2nd album (and what an album that is) and the ever more disappointing shows until those great shows in 02 right before the hiatus.
When they came back in 06 I thought they were amazing and the shows between 06-09 some of the best I've seen them do (tho not quite at the 02 level).
Hope they do get back together someday...
