(CelebrityAccess Mediawire) —
The Black Crowes are officially back as 22,000 fans were on hand at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom to witness their return of over seven sold-out nights that began March 22-30. By the time the house lights came up on the final evening of the "All Join Hands" shows during which "15 Years of Cosmic Rock-n-Roll" was saluted with rapturous applause, the band played a total of 64 different songs. Amidst a stage strikingly adorned with hundreds of electric candles, the band performed wide-ranging set lists that alternated every night, encompassing songs from their six studio albums, plus b-sides and unreleased material, alongside 19 special covers that illuminated the band's rich musical heritage.
On Good Friday March 25, The Black Crowes–Chris Robinson (vocals), Rich Robinson (guitars), Marc Ford (guitars), Eddie Hawrysch (keyboards), Sven Pipien (bass) and Bill Dobrow (drums)–treated fans to their own "Good Friday," a number one rock hit from 1996's Three Snakes and One Charm. The band also held an Easter Sunday Celebration March 27, dressing up all in white for the show just like their fans, who were encouraged to do the same via the band's official website: www.blackcrowes.com.
