This is the first of three days with The Black Crowes at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, following a few days’ rehearsals. At this point, recording at The Greek Theatre in LA hadn’t been discussed. We had first played together at the Cafe de Paris in London in June 1999 and their manager, Pete Angelus, had suggested it might be cool to reciprocate. So I did, and here we were at the first concert of a few in New York, Boston and LA.
