LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Universal Music Group) - Positive review of the DVD in Entertainment Weekly this month: If cars ran on Black Crowes double live albums, would we currently be suffering from so many financial and geopolitical problems? Maybe not. There's certainly no shortage of the suckers: Warpaint follows 2006's Freak n' Roll... Into the Fog, 2002's Live and 2000's Live At The Greek, which found the band backing Jimmy Page. On Disc 1 of this latest collection, the classic rock revivalists run through recent reunion album Warpaint, which, though possibly their best release since 1994's Amorica and more than competently performed here, hardly seems worthy of being basically reissued so soon with a bunch of hollering between tracks. Far more interesting is the second disc, on which the band tackle a brace of their own songs as well as the Stones' "Torn and Frayed," Moby Grape's "Hey Grandma," and the Delaney and Bonnie-related tunes "Poor Elijah/Tribute to Johnson" and "Don't Know Why." The latter material finds the honed-but-loose band in notably excellent, gospel-infused form, and ultimately leaves you hankering after even more live Crowes material - a wish one suspects will be granted before too long. - Clark Collis For Entire Feature: https://music-mix.ew.com/2009/04/extended-play-b.html The Black Crowes are one of the all-time great live rock bands. Their shows are legendary and regularly sell out in record time wherever in the world they play. This new live DVD was filmed on March 20, 2008 at the Wiltern in Los Angeles during the tour in support of their critically acclaimed new studio album "Warpaint". The concert features live versions of the whole of the "Warpaint" album plus a mixture of previously unreleased cover versions and some of their own classics.
