The Black Crowes

In 1990, The Black Crowes were riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Shake Your Money Maker,' which had dropped just a year earlier. This live recording from April 30, 1990, at Toad's Place in New Haven captures the band at a crucial point in their career. They were still basking in the glow of hits like 'She Talks to Angels' and 'Hard to Handle,' and their energetic performances showcased their blend of classic rock with Southern blues influences. Interestingly, this period also marked a time when the band started to gain a reputation for their dynamic, soul-infused live shows. The chemistry between Chris Robinson's powerful vocals and Rich Robinson's guitar mastery shines through this performance, where you can feel the band's raw energy and passion radiating off the stage, hinting at both their growing popularity and the challenges that lay ahead.
