The Black Crowes performed last night, September 19, 2010 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, NC on their Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys tour. The band got its start in 1984 prior to adopting their current name. The Black Crowes have announced that this is their last tour after two decades on the road. (Click on photos to view full size)
The tour, accompanying the 2010 release of an acoustic based release Crowology with recordings of rearrangements of many of the band's popular original songs, is composed of a full acoustic set and a electric set at each venue. The acoustic set not one of those stay in your seat performances. Instead, Luther Dickenson blazed on the slide with his plugged in acoustic guitars making some forget they were listening to an acoustic set.
More photos of The Black Crowes from this show up at Performance Impressions concert photography archives.
The Black Crowes current band members on tour are Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Luther Dickinson, Adam MacDougal, Steve Gorman, Joe Magistro, Sven Pipien, Charity White and Mona Lisa Young.
Tickets are still on sale for many venues. The Black Crowes are offering 4 levels of VIP tickets with this tour.
Steve Gorman put on a notable extended drum jam with percussionist Joe Magistro during the second set.

Thanks for posting these pictures. My husband and I were at this Asheville concert and it was excellent. Unbelievable talent. Who else can play and sound good for 3 hours and 45 minutes? I hope the Black Crowes enjoy several months of rest after December and then begin a less demanding tour in 2012 (and remember to include small venues in VA and/or NC)
