Album Description
Recorded live at the famous Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in August 2005, this is The Black Crowes caught at their very best. After taking a break to pursue solo ventures in 2002, their 2005 tour became one of the hottest tickets of the US summer. With a set featuring all their greatest hits, and some stunning acoustic versions, in the middle of a two-and-a-half hour show performed by one of the greatest live bands of all time, this is a concert simply not to be missed.

 Holy damn! August 3, 2008
I always heard people say that the Black Crowes were one of those bands to bring back rock 'n' roll. I always believed them but I never really... UNDERSTOOD them. After hearing this show, I now know EXACTLY what they meant.
This is just pure, raw, solid rock and friggin' roll. Phenomenal stuff. The horns and the backup singers add a whole new element to the show, and the band themselves are spot-on with their playing.
If you want a new rock album, buy this!

If The Black Crowes had released a live album from their first tour which supported Shake Your Money Maker, I would've liked it a lot better. I don't understand why groups play slower and call it "maturing." Get out there are ROCK if an audience paid to see you. And get rid of the backup singers. Whenever a band hires 3 female back-up singers and a horn section for their tour, the end is near. I'm just glad they released this before we had to sit through a live version of "Whoa Mule."
 Welcome to the goodtimes...2005 - live at the Fillmore March 1, 2008

Couldn't resist, the 5th track on this live collection from the Fillmore in 2005 is "Welcome to the goodtimes" and that's exactly what the Black Crowes have delivered here. The band a in top form and deliver a 2 Hour + show with energy, passion and emotion.
Chris Robinson sings as well as I have ever heard, what a voice. The Live "At the Greek" back in 2000 with Jimmy Page was simply fantastic, well this new set is right up there.
For me the Black Crowes remind me of a mix of The Allman Brothers / Little Feat / Lynyrd Skynyrd with the swagger of early 70's Rolling Stones.
Together with Rich Robinson (gtr), Marc Ford (gtr), Steve Gorman (drums), Ed Hawrysch (Keys), Sven Pipien (Bass), Mona Lisa Young & Charity White (Backing Vocals) and the Left Coast Horns (David Ellis - Tenor Sax, Gavin Distasi - Trumpet, Joshi Marshall - Alto Sax and Marty Wehner - Trombone) the band are firing on all cylinders from the opening track "(Only) halfway to everywhere". "Sting Me", No Speak no slave", "Soul SInging", "Welcome to the goodtimes", "Jealous Again", Space Captain" and a jaw dropping 13 minute version of "My morning song" closes the opening set which just never let up and already had me thinking, wow, this is right up there with any live album I have ever heard... fantastic.
The second set starts of acoustically with "Sunday Night Buttermilk Waltz" (Rich and Marc on acoustic guitars only, no vocals), and an acoustic version of "Cursed Diamond" (same twin guitars with Chris on vocals). Slowly the intensity of the second set increases as Rich stays on acoutic and Marc goes to electric lead joined by drums, keys and drums for a emotionally charged version of "She talks to Angels". At this stage I'm thinking... wow, what a well thought out and paced setlist, and it just kept getting better. "Wiser Time", a full out extended jam on "Non Fiction", a briiliantly soulful and almost gospel like "Seeing Things". "Hard to handle" was next with a very cool extended improvised middle section. Jaw dropping moment number two for me was the next track "Let me share the ride" - crowd goes crazy, this just rocks, the set was a 10/10 before this, now it's gone thru the roof! "Mellow Down easy" , the classic "Remedy" and a great working of "The night they drove old Dixie down" finish things off in style.
I really enjoyed this CD (and DVD), if this sounds remotely like your sort of thing, go for it, it's a top notch effort and has joined my personal list of "Great Live albums" that I've enjoyed over the last 30 years.

Though CD was brand new and in wrapping, my only complaint is the fact that the CD case was badly damaged upon delivery. Both CDs, however, were perfect condition.
Chris Robinson's Opus! March 19, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
When the Black Crows first hit, Rolling Stone did a very nice review on the band. One of the things Chris Robinson talked about was the live concert done by Humble Pie in the early 70s called "Rocking the Fillmore" where all the crowd noise and talking between Steve Marriot and the crowd was left in the recording. If you haven't gotten this, don't wait any longer. It's one of the best rocking live albums ever done and Chris talked about how much he loved that album and that he wanted to do a live one like it. Well, this is the one. This cd is one of the rockingest most powerfull live albums I've heard in a long time. This is the one he always wanted to make and you need to do yourself a favor and get it because they nailed it .
