Black Crowes Back in Seattle

Red Rocks, 2006 

Who: Black Crowes
When: Oct. 2
Where: Paramount Theatre
On Sale: Aug. 18, via Ticketmaster

Does anyone else remember how pissed off Rich Robinson was at Bumbershoot 2001? I don't think the dude looked at his well-scarfed brother the entire night.

Days earlier they played at the Fox Theater in Spokane, a show I passed on at the last minute. Every time I've seen them since — Memorial Stadium, Red Rocks (above), and White River — I've kicked myself for not catching what was surely an amazing, intimate show in Spokane. This upcoming gig at the Paramount, though I wish it was at the Moore, is probably as close as I'm going to get. And we won't have to suffer Auburn's traffic to get our fix.

Say what you will about the notoriously tumultuous brothers, it's sure to be a heavy-hitting, indie-free affair.

Just for kicks, here's a pic of Petty, who headlined the Red Rocks show in 2006. Actually, if my memory serves me right, he sold out three shows there that summer.
