Another band that has no business playing venues this big.

I agree. Back in the day I saw them play the same venue in Dallas and I don't recall it being anywhere close to being full.

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm excited -- would just be a lot more excited if it was some place a bit smaller.

come spring they will be giving tickets away to this. The venues are way too big.

When they played The Woodlands in 2005/06 the place was maybe 1/3rd full. when they quit 6 yrs ago they were playing the HOB circuit but now 6 yrs later they jump to 15k person amphitheaters.

I will be there and happy about it but will wait until the last minute to buy tickets. No was I am shelling out $200 for good tickets this far out.

Thanks for the insight! On Live Nation for Woodlands the good seats are a smidge over $100 (before the crazy fees). I'll gamble and wait until closer to show time.

I'm curious to see how this goes as well. Those are some pretty big venues. I do think the fact that they haven't played together in several years will help (and that the fact that the brothers are likely to get in a fistfight by the end and break up again). A somewhat known set list helps some too, as they had a bit of a reputation of playing what suited them and didn't just play the "hits" for the crowd.

There is a surplus of venues now so you're seeing promoters (LiveNation) stick acts that should be in smaller venues in larger ones because they have to fill out a calendar.

When acts like Billy Joel and P-Mac play Globe Life when they usually play AAC, AAC has to reach down and grab an act that would normally be some place smaller (Sturgill/Childers).... Or GEXA/DosEquis booking Black Crowes when they should be playing some place smaller.

And then you get stuff like Journey and Jason Aldean for the 17th year in a row.

I liked quite a few of the songs on War Paint.

Every album they've released has some amazing songs. Quite frankly I'd much rather they get as many former Crowes members together and tour smaller venues playing deeper cuts with an ever changing setlist every night. But that wouldn't make as much money for them. In the end I'm just happy the brothers are back together.

In. $150 tix next to the sound booth was hard to handle, but waiting and missing out on a surprise sell out would be twice as hard. Don't care, this is bucket list stuff. Hopes for coke on the plane and blood on the pickups! Gonna wake up drunk on Sunday!

Absolutely! 500-750 and fans would be great.

I'd kill to hear them play Amorica all the way through.

Will expect a detailed review of both show and greet.

There has to be. Old ass metal shows are often free at Warehouse Live in Houston, which I think is a LiveNation venue. They've reduced their capacity, and it's still more than enough room for bands that might be more fun in independent venues, but I guess they have to fill that calendar and bring in people to sell drinks to.

It's also why you're seeing these ridiculous act combos. They know Blink 182 touring again isn't going to fill a pavilion... But you make it Blink + Lil Wayne and it might. Ditto the current Modest Mouse and Black Keys tour.

So you ultimately end up with two different fanbases both paying money to see a show that they really only want to see one of the acts. I was interested in seeing Modest Mouse this tour, but I don't care enough about the Black Keys to pay those prices. And from everything I've read it's made for a really lifeless show... Black Keys fans not really going to get up and jam for Modest Mouse, and Modest Mouse fans are bored during BK sets.

Korn and AIC I thought was a random combo.. But it got them into basketball arenas, where as when AIC comes on their own, it's a theaters. (Which I much prefer over arenas)

Black Keys are great on records and weak live - go check out Everlasting Light as a comparison.

Black Crowes always deliver, as Jimmy Page has stated for a long-time.

It's a great book. And it sounds like Page's back wasn't the only thing that canceled that tour.

I'm just coming up to the Crowes/Page chapter but I already know why the tour ended so abruptly.

Just wanted to say I'm about halfway through Gormans' book, and damn...it's really good. Hard to stop reading. He lays it all out. One of the best rock books I've ever read. Anybody who posted on this thread needs to read it.

My favorite "memorable" part is how they (rightly) thought after the first 3 albums or so, after they met and hung out with the Stones, they thought that they should have a similar career and status if they kept the quality up and kept things together...you know, possibly playing stadiums 20-30 years after their 1st record. It's sad, because it could have happened. They were sooo damn good.

The brothers acoustic show in Philly seemed to have gone well:

i just assume that's how every live event in philly is

That's how most events are period these days. Bunch of rude mother****ers that feel their conversation is more important than the music. I've had multiple confrontations with people at acoustic shows that won't shut the **** up. Hope it doesn't happen Saturday when I see Chris & Rich in Austin.

Yeah, for a while I liked that some shows were pushing a "no phone" policy to keep people from just raising their arms and recording in people's sightlines the whole time, but I realized all it's really going to do is cause the people who have to have constant stimulus (even with an actual performance going on) to start talking more and more.

I haven't been to a movie in years where there wasn't someone who thought they were being really quiet not realizing that they are annoying af.

So what are tickets going for right now for Texas venues?

Will expect a review. I saw them at the Cactus Cafe at UT like '06. Strange to see them in such a small venue. Like the plugged-in Crowes better.

They were supposed to do 2 shows per night on back to back nights there. Somehow I snagged tickets to both shows on the first night and then they proceeded to move those two to a bigger venue and left the next night at the Cactus Cafe. I was not happy about that but both shows were fantastic.

Full band.

From $29 for lawn up to $750 to watch from the side of the stage (that also includes a meet & greet)

Nice. I need to look in to the Houston show for sure then. Thanks.

I'm right up front off to the left. Can't wait for this to start.

Sweet Baby Jesus, that may be a top 5 all time show for me. Unbelievable.
