The Black Crowes Perform ‘1972’ Covers & Hits In Los Angeles

The Black Crowes celebrated the release of their 1972 covers EP with a concert at the intimate and historic Whisky A Go Go club in Los Angeles last night. The surprise show was livestreamed via Amazon Music’s Twitch channel and featured performances of all six songs from 1972 The Black Crowes recorded for the EP as well as six beloved classics.

1972 came out on Wednesday as an Amazon Music exclusive before the collection arrives tomorrow on LP and CD via the band’s Silver Arrow label. The Black Crowes put tickets on sale for yesterday’s concert late in the afternoon at the price of $19.72. Once again, Blackberry Smoke guitarist Charlie Starr filled in for Isaiah Mitchell who is on tour with Earthless. Starr joined the Crowes at the Stagecoach festival on Sunday and for a “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” cover on Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The Black Crowes kicked off the night with “Rocks Off” by The Rolling Stones and then offered the live debut of “The Slider” by T. Rex. Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson and the rest of the band continued to play 1972 covers in the order presented on the EP with live premieres of Rod Stewart’s “You Wear It Well” and “Easy To Slip” by Little Feat. The 1972 portion of the concert ended with takes on David Bowie’s “Moonage Daydream” and “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone.”

After aborting and restarting “Thorn In My Pride,” The Black Crowes performed the title track from 1999’s By Your Side. Next, the group looked to Shake Your Money Maker for “She Talks To Angels” and delivered a double dose of 1994’s Amorica in pairing “Ballad In Urgency” and “Wiser Time.” Last night’s concert ended with the 1992 smash “Remedy.”
