NPR Little Desk, The Howard Stern Show (whatever you feel about him) Live at Letterman back in the day...the best sound engineers in the business. I don't know why most late night talk shows are subpar but they are. These three shows however are so good. The sound mixing is next level
That's been my favourite album from anyone since it came out and remains so until this day. I always seem to put it on too close to home and have to drive around a bit just to hear one more song. We're supposed to be seeing them in October in London and I just hope that it still happens.
Yeah, I agree. I was wishing they would play that one instead of Money Maker. I put it up there with Sticky Fingers and every other great rock and roll record. It's just an amazing run of songs on that album - and the guitars are so devastating. I have the CD in my car, and I've been listening to it ever since it came out when I was 13 - all the time. Great driving record.
I met Chris 5 years ago in a Milwaukee bar and he couldn't be more cordial. We had a drink together and he was cool, just asking me about my life. Very kind.
Excellent!!!!!!! I ran into Chris and his wife last night 9-4-2023 in Soho (NYC) and they were dressed so FLY. Sometimes Salvation was one of my favorite songs I even sang a little bit for him. “He said I made his day” His wife Camille suggested we take a picture. It was AWESOME
I didn't expect to cry today. This is an impossible time to be a struggling 30 year old and I've never yearned for childhood quite like this. I miss cassette players and fireflies, and..... I don't know, all of it
Nostalgia is in Everyone nowadays, i swear lol. I've been going through a lot (Mentally) and I've met some Serious hurdles lately And somehow, in all this confusion And uncertainty, I've found this Yearning to go back in time. Not that I'm scared of the impending future But that i would much rather regress to something old and familiar. So, I've invited my past back to the present and suddenly I'm doing things my inner teenager would do in times likes these. It's Awesome. Not conforming to anything or for anyone except Myself. Embrace the inner kid or teenager in you.. Invite them in. :)
He used to sound pretty bad live but lately his voice is sounding really good. It’s also worth mentioning that their last album was recorded live in front of an audience
@ Luke Jarrett::::not sure I understand your statement. Gregg Allman literally played until his dying days. He left us with a beautiful album ! He knew he was dying & wanted us to have just a little more of him after he was gone
@@macauley70 For years they've been underrated by both music critics and the general listening public. There are far less worthy groups in the Rock HOF but The Black Crowes have been eligible for 5 years and not in. I mean really give me a break...ABBA, Blondie, Chicago, Depeche Mode, The Everly Brothers, Frank Zappa, Green Day, Janet Jackson...the list goes on and on. These artists are HOF worthy and the Crowes aren't? That shows the lack of respect, and a lack of musical knowledge.
The Black Crowes are literally tattooed in my soul... fully responsible for me becoming a musician. I’m so glad these two brothers are back together and rocking it Tiny desk: your sound engineer is a blessing to the world too!!!
I keep coming back to this every once in a while. Growing up listening to them in the 90s then being able to hear them together again 30 years later and sounding better than ever is unreal.
Chris still sounds so amazing and soulful! I always felt these guys weren't given enough credit for their contributions to blues/rock over the last 4 decades. They are badasses!
I was a teenager in the 90s listening to these guys... it gives me goose bumps to listen to these songs again. They shaped my music background to a very large degree, I just realized.
30 years since this song debuted. It's interesting to hear the subtle little guitar fills and nuances that Rich Robinson has added into the song after all these years. One guitar takes the place of an entire band.
When I was a kid in the early to mid 90’s I loved this band even though I didn’t really follow bands. I just knew when their songs were on the radio I really enjoyed them. I still remember summer evenings, driving home from baseball games listening to “Talks to Angels” or being at the public pool hearing “Hard to Handle” over the loud speakers. It was only a few years ago when I really sat back and listened to all of their albums, and I’ve been steadily listening to them ever since.
"When I was a kid in the early to mid 90’s I loved this band even though I didn’t really follow bands. I just knew when their songs were on the radio I really enjoyed them." Couldn't have put it better myself.
When you were a kid, I was in my thirties and loving them, too. “Wiser Time” is my all-time favorite. I’m so happy to see them performing together again.
I , after thirty years of knowing the Crowes existed yet not paying attention to them , have come to the conclusion the last several years that the Black Crowes are one of the finest rock bands that have ever existed . They are so satisfying ...
These two just find a zone that is so great. Each on their own is incredibly talented but together they just produce some of the best music I've enjoyed for over 30 years.
The Black Crowes are the first band I ever really listened to. I'm lucky enough to have a dad who was willing to take me to their show in Pozo, California when I was fourteen. I consider it the first live show I ever went to because it was the first show I went to that I wanted to go to, and the first band that I checked and rechecked the tour dates for to see how close they were going to get to my town. When I saw this video up I nearly cried...these gentleman feel like good friends to me and they don't even know me. They introduced me to the feeling that rock n' roll and the blues provide and I still look for that feeling in all of the music I listen to. I still put on The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion a couple times a year, and it's as groovy and soul-filled as ever.
Nice story. So 25 years later you can check also this year when they play close to wherever you live if they can finally go on tour (maybe difficult because of coronavirus, who knows). I have followed them since the beginning, saw them a couple of times (in Spain, where I come from), and I feel a liitle bit sad because they couldn't maintain the band mambers, at least of the last time they were on tour (mostly Steve Gorman and Sven Pipien, the most faithful). I am curious about the new band anyway.
Me too! These guys are literally what I listened to my entire childhood. Growing up, my dad would take me to their shows every time they were in town. Maybe 20 shows. I cann definitely owe them for my drive to become a musician. I've had the worst day trying to record and get my home set up put together. Super discouraging. This popped up and when I heard She Talks to Angels I start SOBBING.
Pozo!!! Such a cool venue! I saw Social Distortion and Hank 3 there. I loved driving around that lil town. We ended up driving to some small and obscure cemetery that they have.
@@amandaransom5248 I'm not a professional musician but I do play, and whenever I'm frustrated with my "goals," it helps to watch my favorites jam out. Good luck with your home setup!
The brothers are so in unison! You can tell they are getting along, and happy. This is so nice to see. I love the heart on Rich's guitar, and his great guitar playing. Chris is seriously so funny, and is giving us some serious soulful blues!! They sound so great!Thank you for this!!
The brothers Robinson unplugged. The acoustic guitar sounds so good and so does Chris. I’m so glad they decided to get back together and play music again. Music to soothe your soul! What a Gem 💎 ! Like most of your concerts! Thanks Tiny Desk and TH-cam for making this possible! This is what the Internet was made for. Great Music! 👏🏻😎🎸
One of the best times my father and I ever had, shortly before he left the physical world, was taking him to see the Black Crowes on the Southern Harmony tour. I'll never forget stumbling around looking for the car afterward. This virus needs to go away so my wife and I can see them in June. Blessings and safety to all.
This is your friendly Internet stranger checking in to see if you guys got to see the show? I hope so! My husband and I just saw them in Nashville, and it was perfection.
There are things that you cant describe with words...SO what artists do is add music and poetry to them...Music is sometimes the only vehicle you have to express your feelings. Thank god for music!
"Wiser Time" was so wonderful. Chris' soulful vocals and Rich's 12-string with slide were just amazing. I'm glad they're back together in 2020. When this virus subsides, I want to catch them live once more.
Wow....thnx NPR....brought my teenage days back....those wonderful memories....freedom...carelessness....naughty.....i owned a BLACK CROWS cassette then....i think i still do.....need to check out and treasure it....thank u again...NPR...
This takes me to such a weird nostalgic place - back in the 90's, but these guys always made me feel like it was the 70's, which was such a mindfuck because at the time I was living in Van Nuys, California (2Pac, DJ Quik, Eazy E), but remembering Athens, Ohio and Woodstock, New York (Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Manassas). Always love these guys - Amorica. stands as a rock n roll TOUR DE FORCE.
Never tire of hearing the excitement of the NPR team when Chris says they’re going to play Jealous Again. That moment shows how special a band The Black Crowes are.
I've been a guitarist for 60 years, live these guys, bekon back to early british soul blues vibe, Jimmy Page saw this as well and giged with these guys, it time for the Black Crows to come back and bless us again with their music Concrats
I can't believe how perfect this is. An absolute master class. I've watched it almost every day since finding it!! I'd give anything to have a voice like Chris Robinson and to have the feel for melody and subtle genius on the guitar like Rich. Big love guys! ✌
This Tiny Desk concert encapsulates everything that I've always loved about the Black Crowes. Songs and singing from the heart while going to all those dark or spiritual places people sometimes go. Put that together with incredible guitar playing and you have a Band that I've loved since their first album. Thank You NPR & Tiny Desk for putting this one together.
It takes so little to make a brilliant rock performance: some great songs, a brilliant singer and a brilliant guitarist. Blown away as usual Black Crowes, Keep on Rockin!
I’ve always felt like these two, and the entire band were/are somehow under appreciated. This is yet another example of just how important (and great) they are to the American musical landscape.
Is there anything better than seeing Rich smiling at Chris after all these years? I think not! Both Sounding & looking great as well. Absolutely wonderful.
@@nprmusic A fan of your channel and work! Discovered some artists and watched some of the best performances thru your videos! Thank you again for the quality work you're doing! Keep safe!
Rich playing his Guild in that resonate “Open G” Tuning on “Wiser Time” ~*~ wonderfully sets the background for the Robinson Brother’s great vocals, , THAT was the magic of this little concert.
You got that right and you've got to give it to Tiny Desk, they get the best live audio on TH-cam hands down! What was that first guitar he was playing, don't think I've ever seen one? BP
absolutely amazing. I remember seeing them on their first tour in an ordinary arena . Rush seating. Beautiful. I'm going to put on my headphones and dissapear into Southern Harmony and Musical Companion .... Thanks NPR
Durng the summer of 2000 when I went backpacking through western Europe, Wiser Time was a constant companion on that trip. It really hit home for me while I sat on a hilltop overlooking San Sebastian, Spain and the Bay of Biscay. It blew my mind that a kid from the Carolinas who grew up chasing fireflies on summer nights would puts so many miles between me and my home soil...
Wiser time... Every time puts me all up in my feels. This acoustic version made tears flow down my face. In these hard times that the whole world is going through music is what will bring us together and make us feel hopeful. Thank you tiny desk and thank you Robinson brothers for your talent and your soul.
I worshipped The Crowes back in 92..TSHAMC was my musical bible for a very long time..met them in 93..Kings among men..love you guys..cant wait to see you in London 🤘🇬🇧🎸

Il suono di quella chitarra è pazzesco, eccezionale
Yes! I'd love to see a video of the tech crew and an explanation of their setup.
Southern Harmony and Musical Companion amongst the greatest of all time.

A masterpiece from start to finish.
So true. Amazing album.
Yeah and I don't even really like southern rock as a genre, but that album slays.
Yeah, I agree. I was wishing they would play that one instead of Money Maker. I put it up there with Sticky Fingers and every other great rock and roll record. It's just an amazing run of songs on that album - and the guitars are so devastating. I have the CD in my car, and I've been listening to it ever since it came out when I was 13 - all the time.

RIch Robinson plays a beautiful acoustic guitar and Chris Robinson sings with a lifetime of soul. Truly beautiful, thanks Tiny Desk.
👍
That's a Zemaitis, made in Japan by Greco.
You have the brothers backwards. Lol
Rich is the vocalist and Chris the guitarist.
My folly, you had it right.
Rich should start another band, the guitar is great! No wonder Chris is critical of others...his voice sucks- no talent! Seriously...
I met Chris 5 years ago in a Milwaukee bar and he couldn't be more cordial. We had a drink together and he was cool, just asking me about my life. Very kind.
I bet that was more than surreal. That’s awesome!!
I met him in Sydney with my son and totally agree with you, cool as and had all the time in the world to chill out with us.
Respectfully jealous! That’s bucket list status!!! 🫡🫡🫡
Awsome bro
I met him yesterday and he was still talking about your wife.
Excellent!!!!!!! I ran into Chris and his wife last night 9-4-2023 in Soho (NYC) and they were dressed so FLY. Sometimes Salvation was one of my favorite songs I even sang a little bit for him. “He said I made his day”
His wife Camille suggested we take a picture. It was AWESOME
Rich’s guitar work has always been underrated. Stellar set...
Seriously. Fantastic playing. Killed all 3 songs.
I've loved them forever
sgt lamancha , you want to check out Johnny Marr for guitar heroes
His fills are perfect. Keeps the song going, but the sound is bigger than expected with one guitar player.
So true.
Here deserves so much more recognition.

@@jasonhochman3750 I'm 31 and remember them too.. ??
@@JustD1zz Hard to believe. Tapes were replaced by CDs by the 90s, and if you are 30, you were born in 1990
Chris has got that rare old soul voice. What a treat to hear him in tiny desk.
Chris is one of the best vocalists in the history of rock 'n' roll. Top 10 for me.
On tape
He used to sound pretty bad live but lately his voice is sounding really good. It’s also worth mentioning that their last album was recorded live in front of an audience
Watch The Jimmy Page and Black Crows concert from Jones Beach sometime on TH-cam.
It's incredible !
Sin dudas. ❤ El mejor.
100 💯
I’m 54 and I feel like I grew up next door to them! Glad to see they put the fighting on the shelf! They both are still amazing!!
Chris’s voice still has that magic, wonderful.
Got a bad case of Tom Jones' disease I'm afraid. Gonna be belting them out 'til his dying day.

Shake Your Moneymaker is one of my all time favorite albums. Not a single miss on the album.
Absolutely!
Amorica will always be in my top 5 of all time, EVERY song a classic!
100% facts
I was 15 in 1990 and saw them on that tour w Aerosmith. Fn RAD
I saw in 1995, Gijón, Spain, with the Stones. At the end of the performance if the Crowes, a big crow running on the stage. Great memories...
These guys have been rock royalty since day 1. Always have been wise beyond their years.
I keep coming back to this every once in a while. Growing up listening to them in the 90s then being able to hear them together again 30 years later and sounding better than ever is unreal.
Thank you NPR for the 18 minute break from this madness. Plug in your headphones. The sound is awesome!
Don't know why I clicked on this, I know nothing about this band but I ended up watching the whole thing. Impressive performance.
This was all time. With everything going on in the World at the moment, we always have music to fall back on.
Well done!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks NPR and The Black Crowes!
Amen
On this we can all agree.
Well, we do until they turn off the interwebs...
I’m 73 years old… I absolutely adore the black crows. Always have. It’s solid rock. Few bands have achieved that. my opinion… nothing more!
The Robinson Boys in their best setting..together, one acoustic guitar, no frills, pure joy for the performance..honestly good!
Who would’ve thought that these guys would be emblems for graceful ageing. Beautiful performance.
Chris still sounds so amazing and soulful! I always felt these guys weren't given enough credit for their contributions to blues/rock over the last 4 decades. They are badasses!
Totally,,
Great to see the brothers realize how short life truly is .. This is what a comeback looks like
My fav too!
Steve Kutz comeback would be if all the members reunited. This is the cash cow version.
Chris has admitted they are here for the money as well. Hopefully, they can continue to work out their differences and make great music.
The sound quality here is better than the actual CD album I had back in the day. By a lot. Kudos to NPR's sound team!

Since live shows have been cancelled, this is a great consolation gift. Here’s to hoping this is all over soon.
Will be seeing them July 3 2021 in ATLANTA.Gonna be Special for me.
Great to see them bring the forum here in LA back for the first time in 500 days
This is easily the best thing that's happened this month...
More like best thing since they stopped playing together.
Year.
Saw/heard the Black Crowes open for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in Devore , California.
I'd gladly trade another pint of blood for that any day.

Best quarantine work from home soundtrack ever!
Man what a treat! Really hit the spot man. Thank you Tiny Desk for bringing them out. Thank you Black Crowes!!
The way that Rich plays that 12-string Guild is pure magic. Looking forward to new content from the Black Crowes soon. Keep making the magic, guys!

Idk why I laughed internally seeing this, well I guess that happiness spreads wisley.
This is really really great. Sometimes thirty years means exhausted voices and ebbing motivation and songs bled dry. Not here. Quite the opposite.
Well said. Hard agree. Fantastic performance.
Oh, yes, indeed.
The Robinson's sound just as great as they always did
What a voice! What great example of singing!
His voice is one of the best rock voices. And it still embodies soul and pain and all that’s meaningful in life.
There is something magical here
I'm smiling so much my face hurts. Incredible how a guitar and two voices can stir the soul. Come on!
Amorica is possibly one of the most perfect albums, on my top five of all time. Thank you for this.
Moneymaker is in my top five too.
Hi, Todd, i totally agree with you! And Chris voice is still amazing.
The sound on Amorica is awesome.
The piano intro sound on descending is great.
Must listen with headphones.
Amen Todd
wiser time is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Chris' voice has a Joe Cocker soul feeling. The type of feeling that comes from life being life and leaving scars deep inside you.
Chris Robinson still got a great voice. This was a treat!
That he does. Very indebted to Otis Redding!
Got rid of Hudson looks healthier
Those first few notes moved me in an unexpected way. It's been a long time, took me way back to simpler times... beautiful!
This Tiny Desk concert encapsulates everything that I've always loved about the Black Crowes. Songs and singing from the heart while going to all those dark or spiritual places people sometimes go. Put that together with incredible guitar playing and you have a Band that I've loved since their first album.
Thank You NPR & Tiny Desk for putting this one together.
One of my fave song! ❤ Chris's vocals is so soulful and velvety. Rich is a guitarist extraordinaire.
you know it when you hear the first chord....
thank you, Robinson's- for all the rides with the windows down and SINGING like we could SINNNNG
This was such a pleasant surprise.
It takes so little to make a brilliant rock performance: some great songs, a brilliant singer and a brilliant guitarist. Blown away as usual Black Crowes, Keep on Rockin!
Takes so little, just need the right rare ingredients
Rich plays the guitar so good! I love it! They're so amazing together, it's magic.
I’ve always felt like these two, and the entire band were/are somehow under appreciated. This is yet another example of just how important (and great) they are to the American musical landscape.
Is there anything better than seeing Rich smiling at Chris after all these years? I think not! Both Sounding & looking great as well. Absolutely wonderful.
Rich smiling almost made me cry. Get back together
... man, that 12string sounds fantastic!
littleclay just 6 I think mate! But extra jangly!!
@@TheHeavyJetsBand At 13:11 it's the 12 string (Guild). Apologies for the pedantic-ness!
Amen!
makes me almost want to get mine out and tune it to G, but then I remember what that entails
It really does....so full...
Wiser Time was divine! Thank you NPR for this wonderful set of the Robinson brothers!
Thanks for watching!
@@nprmusic A fan of your channel and work! Discovered some artists and watched some of the best performances thru your videos! Thank you again for the quality work you're doing! Keep safe!
Rich playing his Guild in that resonate “Open G” Tuning on “Wiser Time” ~*~ wonderfully sets the background for the Robinson Brother’s great vocals, , THAT was the magic of this little concert.
You got that right and you've got to give it to Tiny Desk, they get the best live audio on TH-cam hands down! What was that first guitar he was playing, don't think I've ever seen one?

Hey Billy Boy, , that first Acoustic is a Zemaitis. Made in England I believe.
Wiser time, anthem of my old bones.~
Open E?
I saw them at the Greek LA last April. It's one of the best rock shows I've seen in a while. A blessing to witness their renaissance.
absolutely amazing. I remember seeing them on their first tour in an ordinary arena . Rush seating. Beautiful. I'm going to put on my headphones and dissapear into Southern Harmony and Musical Companion .... Thanks NPR
Wow I'm shedding tears because I'm so moved by this performance! My goodness they are phenomenal!
Durng the summer of 2000 when I went backpacking through western Europe, Wiser Time was a constant companion on that trip. It really hit home for me while I sat on a hilltop overlooking San Sebastian, Spain and the Bay of Biscay. It blew my mind that a kid from the Carolinas who grew up chasing fireflies on summer nights would puts so many miles between me and my home soil...
Greetings from San Sebastián!
@@erp1978ify Thank you, very kindly!
Wiser time... Every time puts me all up in my feels. This acoustic version made tears flow down my face. In these hard times that the whole world is going through music is what will bring us together and make us feel hopeful. Thank you tiny desk and thank you Robinson brothers for your talent and your soul.
I worshipped The Crowes back in 92..TSHAMC was my musical bible for a very long time..met them in 93..Kings among men..love you guys..cant wait to see you in London 🤘🇬🇧🎸
