The Black Crowes

In 2008, the Black Crowes were in a unique phase of their career, having just released the album "Warpaint" the year before. This marked a creative resurgence for the band, highlighting their signature Southern rock vibe infused with blues and a bit of psychedelic flair. Interestingly, the live recording in Newcastle showcases not only their formidable musicianship but also a deeper connection to their roots. They performed at the Cairns Civic Theatre, a beautiful venue that perfectly complemented their sound. By this time, the group had experienced several lineup changes and struggles but managed to push forward with renewed energy, captivating audiences as they did during their early days. It's notable that the Crowes were great at blending classic rock influences with fresh innovation, making their live performances all the more electrifying.
