Black Crowes

The Black Crowes
Cadillac's
Hickory, NC USA
March 23, 1990

A Doodee Music Master Recording

"If it's a DOODEE, you know it's the SHIT®"
     - Stripeydave 2008

This post is all about freely sharing some great music, spreading the word about these bands, increasing sales of their goods and attendance at their shows and having a little fun.


Tonight (8-13-10) The Black Crowes kick off their 20th Anniversary Tour. The band has promised this will be the last go 'round before an extended hiatus. Sadly, I believe 'em. In honor of their milestone jaunt and hopefully short-lived farewell here's my earliest Black Crowes master which happens to be a a tad over twenty years old itself.

This was an opening slot The Crowes held down for the band Junkyard at a small club. They were young. They were hungry. They were fueled by God knows what. They played hard. They played fast. They had a good time. They rocked. These were the days of Johnny Colt and Jeff Cease sharing a fifth of Jack during a set. This show was no exception. Also Chris sings two encore covers with Junkyard which are included here.

Who could have predicted within a year they would go from a dive club in 'lil ol' Hickory NC to headlining large clubs to opening for ZZ Top to getting booted from the tour for standing by their principles to finding a home in counterculture and delivering their deliciously creative good vibes for two decades? Who could have predicted that of the original lineup only Steve Gorman would be left standing with the Robinson's at the end? I've said it before about The Crowes - no matter who is in the band at the time, no matter what the musical "fashion" of the day, the Robinsons always deliver. At least they have for me over the last 20 years. WALSTIB!

This isn't the most pristine recording in the world. Had less than stellar equipment and a set of priorities aligned with activities that trumped getting the best recording in early 1990. At the same time, it's very listenable and offers a little snapshot of a band that was just about to bust wide open on the scene. Check the samples. Use the democratic process. Go see The Crowes on this tour. Enjoy.

sound is very good, at least.


crowesbase has this information of one of the ny gigs in 1990, and i believe this would match the concert on cd, as the length would match the support slot, and set list is exactly the same:



 04 may 1990 - the ritz - new york, ny usa



thick n' thin
you're wrong
twice as hard
sister luck -> jealous guy
hard to handle
she talks to angels
jealous again

supporting mccauley schenker group.

this performance was broadcast on local fm radio.

So I am told this is a really rare show - not in the Crowes database. It was their first time in Philly and they were opening for the MacCauly Schenker Group. This is approved by the Crowes trading policy,  My copy came right off the master.

I obtained this years ago from a guy I have since lost contact with who recorded it directly from the radio and sent me a copy of his master.

This song order is most likely out of the original order of the songs played. I have decided to present it here as it was aired.

I have looked for years and have NEVER found the WW1 disc for sale or offered anywhere.

Here's the Black Crowes, just as the first record was really taking off, opening for Heart. Man, do I love this band. I saw them for the first time in early 1990 and the last time 5 months ago - and the Robinson brothers never disappoint. This is a really sweet sounding show with the Crowes playing hard and fast. There are a number of great "Chris-ism's" in this show, most of which involve security. Grab this one and turn it up to "11". Enjoy.

Energy....     Crowes are rockin hard & still trying to
               sell themselves....Chris has some choice words
               for the lame people sitting at the bar , a DJ booth
               and more.....Great show !		

Sound Quality :This one is an average sounding show.
               Not stellar quality but not real bad either.
               I will still lable it colletcors only
               just to be safe.

Source:        I had the original taper copy his master cassette
               taped with a Sony D-6 Pro Cassette recorder
               to DAT for me and I am now trading it out just 
               so we can all help preserve another great Crowes show.

I closed three small gaps in the tape. Each was only a few seconds but they were during the music.

#1 at 30:39 #2 at 101:19 & #3 at 104:11
They do not really distract from the music.
