The Black Crowes tore the roof off Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom last night, capping off a day in which the reunited roots rockers announced a massive 46-date 2020 tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark debut album, 1990's Shake Your Money Maker.
Clad in shimmering black velvet, frontman Chris Robinson reveled in the cheers of the 600-strong capacity crowd as the band took the stage and launched into a scorching “Twice as Hard.” Meanwhile, his brother, guitarist Rich Robinson, commanded stage left, launching one hook-laden guitar line after another at deafening volume.
