The Black Crowes
The Black Crowes Live at Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg Performing 'Hard To Handle'
In the summer of 1991, The Black Crowes were riding high on the success of their debut album, 'Shake Your Money Maker,' which had hit the airwaves earlier that year, capturing audiences with its soulful rock sound. By the time of the live recording at Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg, they were basking in the glow of hits like 'Hard to Handle,' which is the very song performed in this recording. This era marked a significant moment for the band, as 'Shake Your Money Maker' not only went multi-platinum but also positioned them firmly within the rock hierarchy of the early '90s. It’s interesting to note that the band's raw energy during this performance reflects their commitment to authentic rock and roll, paving the way for their reputation as a powerful live act.
