11 bought their cover of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" off of their most recent 2CD live album from iTunes, but he tells me that's a Southern thing. Apparently all Southerners rise when that song is played (this is said with tongue in cheek, but he does like their version of it quite a lot). I might have to try and score one of these.

The only official live release I have is with Jimmy Page where they mostly did Zep tunes. Everything else I have I downloaded from bt.etree.org.

I'll have to go check out those clips. I obviously like this record and particularly what Dickinson added to their sound. I might have to make a point of getting out to see them on the tour. Speaking of The Black Crowes and live... do you have a favorite among the different live packages they've released?

Yeah, Luther is on tour with them. Do yourself a favor and go see them. There are some live clips on YouTube and at VH1 you can see them live acoustic on Goodbye, Walk, and Locust. That fraud goes by the name David Peisner for anyone passing by.

My pleasure. I thought you really captured that Maxim bullshit brilliantly. That was one of the most stunning incidents of journalistic fraud I've ever seen. Do you know if Dickinson is touring with them? He was stellar on the record. I'd love to hear them live, especially if he's out there with them.

Your closing paragraph sums the band up quite well. I can't wait to see these new songs performed live. I missed their mini-tour in March, but hope to catch them in April if I don't go to Coachella. You know who else was good at flipping the bird to their critics, Bauhaus. They were accused of stealing from glam acts like T Rex and Bowie, so they then covered songs by them. Thanks for the mention.
