The Black Crowes Perform 'Thorn in My Pride' at Pinkpop Festival

Venue: Nürburgring Location: Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Date: May 30, 1993

In 1993, The Black Crowes were riding a wave of success following the release of their album 'Amorica' a year later. However, during the live recording of "Thorn in My Pride" at the Nürburgring in Germany, they were still basking in the afterglow of their earlier hit album 'Southern Harmony and Musical Companion,' which had come out in 1992. This album solidified their place in the rock scene, featuring fervent hits that showcased their bluesy rock sound. Interestingly, this performance captured the band in their prime, delivering a passionate rendition that’s still celebrated by fans today. Their chemistry on stage was palpable, hinting at the band's adeptness at blending classic rock elements with a modern twist, something they’ve become well-known for. It’s fascinating to note that the song "Thorn in My Pride" reflects their deep musical roots, drawing from both southern rock and soul influences, showcasing why they remain a defining voice of their era.
