I've seen them too many times to count, and I must say that the Atlanta show on this tour was just as good as when I saw them for the first time over 15 years ago. Chris, like you said, was quite awkward with the guitar, but I give him props for having the nerve to play alongside the likes of Luther and Rich. He is still one of my favorite frontmans, pure entertainer. I was amazed that the concert I saw was only 5 days after the release of Warpaint, and the audience (including me) was already singing along to every song! Great show, brilliant album. Hopefully there are many more to come!

Luther killed it, as did everyone else in the band. Looking forward to hearing it again when they post the live shows on the 31st! They definitely weren’t “phoning it in” when they played Atlanta.

I'm still kicking myself in the nards for not seeing these guys when they came back to ATL. I've heard nothing but awesome things about what Luther brings to the table on the tour, and it's true... he's a total badass. I've only heard a few snippets of the new album, but what I've heard thus far is nothing short of the being the tits. Keep the sweet stuff coming, and we'll keep enjoying. AD - Love the Sirius show!

I get what you're saying about the office job. I get, too, what you're saying about "rock" versus "Rock 'n' roll" - my currently developing band should be a "Rock 'n' roll" band, defined as you have written it up there, but here in the UK that has connotations of brothel creepers, drapes, teddy boys and bill haley and the comets (Hey, I once opened a show for him! But that is another story) And I so so get what you're saying about Luther Dickinson - NMAS are in heavy rotation on my ipod - so will this Black Crowes album be when I get it. And I'll certainly seek out some torrents as they arise. Cheers. Well observed and well written too. I get what you’re saying about the office job.
