The Black Crowes Perform The Long Black Veil Live at Hollywood Palladium

Venue: Hollywood Palladium Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: December 11, 2010

In December 2010, The Black Crowes played a heartfelt rendition of 'The Long Black Veil' at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. This performance came just after the release of their studio album 'Before the Frost... Until the Freeze', which showcased their distinctive blend of Southern rock and blues. Notably, the band was on a quest for a return to their roots during this period, having been through numerous lineup changes and a hiatus. They reconnected with their core sound, emphasizing authenticity and emotional depth. The choice to cover this classic country ballad, made famous by Lefty Frizzell, reflects their exploration of genres beyond rock, showing their versatility and commitment to honoring musical history. This live recording captures not just the song's haunting beauty, but also a pivotal moment in the band's journey, as they solidified their legacy in the music scene.
