Crowes at the Greek

On Wednesday Jacki and I saw The Black Crowes at the Greek Theater. Ever since the band reunited from their hiatus every show we've seen has been amazing. This was our third time see them in 13 months. We missed the first opener but got to see most of Robert Randolph and The Family Band's set. Toward the end of their set Taylor Hicks from American Idol came out and jammed on harmonica for one of their songs. The audience loved it.


Between sets I went to get some kettle corn and saw Elliot another finalist from American Idol walking around and talking on his cell phone. When the Crowes hit the stage they started with Cursed Diamond and Wiser Time back to back. A great way to kick off the set.

On VH1


We watched the VH1 Rock Honors broadcast tonight. We saw me probably 6 or 7 times pretty clearly during the broadcast. I'm most visible during Judas Priest's You've Got Another Thing Coming, Def Leppard's 20th Century Boy, The All Star Tribute with God Of Thunder and through a few audience shots during Queen.

Here is a screen shot from the All Star Tribute to KISS. I'm in the bottom right corner. Blurry picture taken from a You Tube screen capture but you can see me right up front.
