How cool was it that Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes

put out Live at the Greek! The band was tight and Chris kills it. How do you take on Plants vocals and not be intimidated? Chris apparently wasn't and I really like Chris on vox here. And, honestly, I was burned out on Zep by this point. But I personally thought the Page/Crowes versions reinvigorated the songs. Anyone else like it?

I read somewhere (here, likely) that Page had planned on working with the Crowes past that live album. apparently Jimmy had spoken with Rich, offering unfinished material from his time in Zeppelin, for a future collaboration.
story goes that Rich was kind of a jerk, and Page bailed on the whole thing.

That was in the drummer’s book. Excellent read too.
And I liked hearing Jimmy with them it was a good live album. Hadn’t seen that clip before.

Chris wasnt a jerk, it's that Rich was.
Here is the drummer recounting how he heard about it from Jimmy and he does an amazing job of telling the story, and the rage he felt learning about it. And a good page impression too! So much so that I held up a microphone up to the audiobook and recorded that part, to share with friends.
Highly recommended listening, if you havent heard it yet:

I need to endorse this endorsement. This is so goddamned funny to listen to. Thanks to whoever originally posted this here a few years ago (probably you Huey!) I think this is probably my favorite rock memoir ever and this audio clip in particular puts it way over the top.

Was Rich not Chris that was a jackass that time.

As much as I love that story and the way Steve told it - wouldn’t you think in reality anything leftover from them Zep days would’ve been used but then? I’d have bought it no matter what (and it probably wouldn’t been better than Lions). But still.
And Chris wasn’t a jerk in that particular story but he was later on saying he was tired of “singing about gnomes and hobbits and shit”.

The Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson has denied claims that he snubbed Jimmy Page.
Speaking exclusively in the brand new issue of Classic Rock, Robinson shot down the claim.
“Absolutely not true,” he said. “I remember having conversations with Jimmy, telling him: ‘Hey, if you ever wanted to make a record or do anything, I would love to help in any way I can.’ Jimmy’s a brilliant musician, a brilliant person. I loved playing with him.”
Pointing out that he and Page have subsequently jammed on stage, he added: “Jimmy Page wants to write songs for me, and I’m gonna say: “You know what, Jimmy? Led Zeppelin was alright, but I’m not gonna do it’? It’s the most absurd thing I’ve heard in my life.”

my favorite part of that article is in this last sentence.
According to Gorman, Robinson told Page: “No thanks... we’ve got enough.” The drummer then alleged that a furious Page informed the Crowes’ then-manager that he was
“driving to Connecticut and I’m going to kill Rich in his home’.”

I remember hearing What Is and What Should Never Be and it sounded terrific! Never bothered listening to the album. This was before streaming really went mainstream though.

That one got played a bit on my local rock station back when it first came out, and it's not bad at all. They aired the lead single off of Plant and Page's
Walking into Clarksdale ("Most High") a bit as well, which is solid stuff.

The live album was fun, and boy does Chris sound great on it, but the real fun was the tour. Super sold shows heavy on the Zeppelin and with three guitarists on stage it was a veritable guitar army. A few Zep songs I'm not super fond of really sounded great, the first one that comes to mind is "Sick Again." I had seen Page/Plant by that point but Page/Crowes was much more of what I expect a Zeppelin show would have been like.
On that tour they shared a stage with the Who, so the bands would play back to back. My wife and I did the Crowes/Page show and then the next night saw The Who. Fun times. Glad I was younger then.

The unsung hero of that tour (this is based strictly on what a former Crowes roadie told me) was Audley Freed, the third guitarist. He was apparently a scholar of the Zep catalogue and was really the leader during rehearsals. That dude is a quality player and is criminally underrated.

I saw them at First Avenue in Minneapolis on the By Your Side tour, with Audley, and he was fantastic.

Makes sense. Page needed Porl Thompson to get him thru the 1st P/P tour.

After Cry of Love Audley and Robert Kearns later re-teamed to form the band Big Hat. In 2012 they released a 4 song EP.

Audley played with Chris' "As the Crowe Flies" tour like 6 years ago and it was great, caught the show and he and Marcus King handling guitars tore it up..

Damn is this an all-timer of great stories right here! Just amazing the way he told it
