Black Crowes Reunite, Plot 2020 ‘Shake Your Money Maker’ Tour The Black Crowes’ Chris and Rich Robinson will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Shake Your Money Maker, with a 2020 tour that will mark their first live shows since 2013. The 46-date run will kick off June 17th at the Austin360 Amphitheater in Austin, Texas and stretch throughout the summer, wrapping September 19th at the Forum in Los Angeles. To mark the tour announcement, the band will play an intimate gig at New York’s Bowery Ball room tonight, November 11th, and at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 14th.
Well, i grabbed the $18 lawn seats for the Tinley Park show. Not a huge investment, figure I can't go wrong for that price! Now the long wait begins...
This will be great for folks who love that record and haven't thought much about the Black Crowes in 20+ years. Or the age-challenged who simply weren't able to see tours in 2005-2010.
Has a cash-grab feel to it, but then, the tour is being titled "$hake Your Money Maker", so, they are being up front about it. Glad I saw them back in the day, I can skip this without regret.
Obviously, a different keyboardist was a given considering Eddie’s passing, but I’d hope that at least Marc or Sven would be involved.
I mean it’s probably just the photographer taking a ton of photos, some of which they were told to give these expressions and this one happened to be chosen. I find it funny how it gets read into.
Interesting that they're playing these bigger venues, when last time (which was also a bit of a soulless money-grab), they were playing venues a third of the size, and they had some vital members that they don't this time.
Probably because they’re focusing on their biggest album (which I think is one of the weaker albums in their catalogue, but I digress), and they’ve been away for a while, and people are prepared to see it blow up again.
They look THRILLED!!! I went to Steve Gorman's book signing in Boston this weekend and seems like a pretty cool guy. He's not interested in dealing with the Robinson brothers' $h again, especially after Chris demanded more than his share the last time around, relegating everyone else to a hired hand. Love the Black Crowes, but Chris Robinson has always been kind of a @#$%. On the fence whether or not to get tickets.... P{ice look reasonable for the Boston date....
I normally don’t rule out a member returning when there’s money involved, but in Gorman’s case, he may very well be a Bill Bruford. Not drumming wise obviously, but more in having enough integrity to not take a quick cash grab.
Who are these other band members? This is not the Black Crowes to me... God, how I wished the Chris Robinson Brotherhood was still active..
I rule it out when the Robinsons would have to share that cash with those members. That's why they are not there in the first place. More money for the brothers. I won't lie, I will probably see a couple of the shows, but I am holding out for the eventual price drop either on the secondary market or a groupon type deal when these aren't selling out.
Red Rocks prices are ridiculous. $65+$20 fee to sit in the back GA section. Up front will run you $165+$32 fee.
I'm so happy I caught them at the Tabernacle in 2005, featuring the return of Steve Gorman. This is text book money grab.
