Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - Telecast 

It’s hard to believe that anybody would turn down the opportunity to write with Jimmy Page!

The Robinson brothers are insecure narcissists who couldn’t get over the fact that every audience on their tour was 80% Zeppelin fans, who just wanted to hear Zeppelin songs. Black crowes drummer Steve Gorman’s book recalls a scene on the tour bus where Chris Robinson was complaining to his then wife, actress Kate Hudson, about how he was tired of singing the Zeppelin songs… whining about the collaboration when she spoke up and shut him up saying “oh, please! Jimmy Page is the best thing that ever happened to you guys!!!” She was 100% correct. The fact that they scoffed at his invitation to write songs together shows how stupid they were and suggests that they literally thought they were better then JIMMY PAGE. What a mind blowing fuck up…

Some folks can't help but shoot themselves in the foot

Why did Rich say no thanks though? Could it be because Jimmy was wasted? And what ya mean with saved their career?

@@chriss2452it certainly couldn’t be that Rich didn’t want a guitarist who was better than he could be in 1,000 years…I love Rich, but he just bleeds insecurity and always has

Agreed! I could watch him forever!

bone ck do you still have the tape?

@@colinmacvicar2507 nah that's long gone. Haven't seen it since like 2003 or 4.

@Jimmy Durex So what your saying is: he's immortal, sounds right.

As opposed to an 18 year old american

It’s not his ‘59, the wine red Les Pauls came out long after 1959. He used this one a lot through the 80’s and 90’s.

@@Almost_Baked the second performance on the video is the 59 .

yardbird crowes.

Led Crowds???

Oh my Goodness...I lived in Steger!!

Next time that cat blows through town, he's gonna have stories you won't believe...Count on it.

@@jdexposure Definitely!

@@juliemanarin4127 Hello neighbor!

rich is gonna rich every time ... no surprise there :)

Eric Challender haha suppressed by who?

Uggggg-they are awful. They don’t swing at all. Just listen to a Stones album instead.

well said

he was sweating on the solo....that was sloppy

@@nomo9344 not the most inspired solo...

I had the album first day it released and was only slightly impressed, Rich's vocals felt a little too "cover band" if that's even possible with Jimmy, but it just didn't vibe like I wanted it to. The short length of the collaboration is probably why it went under the radar for a lot of people, and not to mention there was just so much great music coming out during that time, easy to overlook.

CDaniel J80 You mean “great music” like By Your Side and Walking Into Clarksdale? Both of which were released only the year prior to the collaboration. Are you saying attention spans and memory banks are so short that such a powerhouse teaming would’ve gone under the radar a mere year after both camps put out “great music” separately?

CDaniel J80 yeah it wasn’t really under the radar, it was the crowes best selling album in 8 years and they sold out everywhere which they weren’t necessarily doing before

Just finished it. I couldn't put it down.

Can't believe Rich told Jimmy " nah we're good "

without vitriol?! that is absolutely not true. it's chock full of nastiness. i read the book, but im listening to the audio version as steve himself actually reads it. it very quickly becomes clear exactly who his "nemesis" of sorts is but he really talks a lot of shit about their whole career. i believe it all for the most part. i really liked hearing about their start. they were created similarly to many pop stars (this is taken to the extreme in the case of manufactured rappers, basically all of them)

@@thesmackdaddy9888 yeah my jaw hit the ground on that one.

@@trintdaddylandis just making a rhythm … 🤷🏻

Man I had tickets to their show when they were coming to my town. When they had to cancel because of Jimmy's hurt back I was bummed for weeks. Glad they made an album to capture the brilliance.

Same here. Had tickets and it broke my heart when they cancelled.

Lloyds

In Gorman's book, he explains that Jimmy Page did have a hurt back but the real reason he bailed and cancelled the tour was because Jimmy approached Rich and offered to co-write some tunes for their next album (Page joining up with them rescued the band when they were on life support) ... and Rich said nah, no thanks, we're good. Page was so insulted he bailed after one more TV appearance.

@@greggoldman as he should have.

Jimmy couldn't do anything else on stage, after the brilliance that he performed with Zep. the best band ever

@@anellosatvadventures6756 The Firm wasn't bad.

@Noble Failures Huge mistake on Riches part. I understand Rich insulted Jimmy. That was the end of that you don't do that to the master. As much as I love The Black Crowes that was a dumb thing to do.

Black Crowes*

Oh is Jimmy Page going to be with them? Oh please let Jimmy be with them!!!

I don’t think so, but you never know. They brothers Robinson announced their reuniting on the Howard Stern show a couple of weeks ago. Search you tube for Black Crowes on Stern and you can see them announce it. The clip I saw was just a couple of minutes but they were on for the whole show. So if Page is going out with them they would have said it then I believe. But yes that would be amazing. Lol, I just checked out your page, and I think it is safe to say that your quite the Zepplin fan.👍

Page had a falling out with all of them except their drummer. Rich said something rude to Page when Page offered to help them out. Also, its just the brothers touring with hired guns. And as we know, Steve was essential to their sound as Bonham was essential to Zeppelin.

Kinda of. More like Chris and Rich hired a band to back them and tour the country playing the BC's hits. They are the only original members in the lineup. "The duo enlisted all-new members that include guitarist Isiah Mitchell of psych-rock band Earthless, veteran session bassist Tim LeFebvre who appeared on David Bowie’s Blackstar and keyboardist Joel Robinow and drummer Raj Ojha of prog/psych-pop group Once and Future Band."

Darius Moghaddam Damn hadn’t heard about the falling out with Page. Although not that surprising. It seems that the brothers Robinson can be difficult to be around. Just a rumor, I could be wrong.🤫

Me too bro!

Was a great time being a Zeppelin/Crowes fan. No one in my school got it really. I was lucky to see Jimmy live 4 times and meet the guy. Best times.

I was there too

True

no one said JPJ was supposed to be there dummy. It's the black crowes keyboard guy idiot.

@ black crowes keyboard guy? Excellent description. His name was Ed Harsch.

What a stupid comment duh. Oh that isn't robert plant singing either

LP1 and 2 are probably worth 10 million a piece.

nope!

That red Les Paul has been in Jimmy's arsenal for decades. It can be seen in the Song Remains the Same during Whole Lotta Love, which in the movie, was edited from all three nights at MSG. On one of those nights, he used it for that song. If you look carefully, you'll see that Jimmy plays most of the song on a sunburst, but some of the edits have this guitar.

I'm no expert but it looks like the Les Paul 'B Bender' that was used in the London Celebration Day gig for Kashmir

I would say no. Its not a burst.

Areohead I believe you are correct

Barry Strawn I agree, 100%! But it's doubtful I'll see the new version of them without Gorman. In fact, I simply won't.

@@LOVEnGREED unless they come to my city, I won't be going either. Not gonna travel to see a hired band to play Crowes music. Just Chris and Rich is not enough for me.

sure, they had one good song. and it wasn't the otis redding sham.

@ wrong.

@@GINKBB incorrect

false

@@ScottyMac55??

Yes indeed...Page can do it all alone!

It was prob that way because Rich is incapable of playing at less than 11. Gorman says live he was at full volume on his Marshall stack. They basically mixed the rest of the band around Rich, Rich was never miked. Even when folks in the front rows complained they couldn't hear vocals, etc., he wouldn't turn down. Gorman played hard and flat out just to be heard on stage.

I disagree, aren’t Skynyrd and Foo Fighters smazing bands?

Audley is an incredible guitar player, and a musicians favorite due to his ability, style, professionalism, and all around bad assery on guitar.

If you saw the No Quarter DVD in 1994, and you saw the "core rock band" play "Thank You," Jimmy played that b-bender Les Paul. I had never seen another guitar player play a b-bender except on a Fender before. It kind of freaked me out. Kind of like seeing Alex Lifeson of Rush use a Floyd Rose vibrato system on his Les Paul in the final years before Rush broke up. I know some fans consider stuff like that to be a violation of some sort of religion, but I have never understood that mentality. If you do not dig it, do not buy the guitar. Alex wanted to have a Les Paul tone, but so many of the Rush solos like "Limelight" would have sounded stupid without a whammy bar. When Gibson was finally able to make him one, he went for it. He probably would have gone for it in 1977.

Keep a knockin by Little Richard ...which Bonham blasted into out of frustration whilst recording a session for Zeppelin 4...then they turned it into the intro and worked out "Rock And Roll" right there on the spot

I could DRINK ENUFF LAME. SODA I. WILL BUY STEVE'S BOOK MAY I ADD HE'S ONE STUNNING BAD MO FO. ON DRUMS MY GOD MAN ONE OF THE BEST IN MY OPINION A ?😉😜💅👙👠😉👄👄👄👄👄👄👀👀👀👀👀👄👄

Чувак, держи всех в курсе!

@@rkostantin это как понять держи всех в курсе?

В прямом! Ну остальные то не знают, что это имитация всего лишь... эххх

@@rkostantin они не могут исполнить вокал Roberta PLANTA, я столько переслушал этих вокалистов ни один не смог приблизиться к его вокалу.

@@ВладиславЧилаев-э8з Ну ежели что еще не понравится, держи в курсе!

I've yet to read Gormans book but apparently Chris squashed it.

Yeah just finished Gormans book. Rich chased Jimmy away..

Interesting. Although I can understand it, that would change the entire makeup of the band. Jimmy is an alpha.

rycam418418 Gorman’s book looks really cool. I listened to a few interviews and he does come through as eloquent and smarter than the other two. He is an underrated drummer IMHO.

ThemFuzzyMonsters i listened to it and it’s great because it’s Gorman reading it. Who knows whats true. Gorman says page just wanted to contribute/co write and produce some songs on their next album. And he would add his ‘name’ to it to help promotion. Apparently Rich said no thanks

Takes a lot of wood and sustain out of the guitar. Nobody ruins a LP like that now!

@@daviclar867 True, but he could afford to. He also has a self-tuning Les Paul.

EDDIE WHO ??????????????????????????????????????? LMAO

@@josephm.2856 LMAO at dipshits liking their own assholish replies

@@josephm.2856 feel free to fuck off, Joe

@@josephm.2856 the best keys player I've ever seen ,fuckwit

J. Maurillo what made you laugh your ass off? Goofball

Wrong,that is in fact Greg Rzab..

Greg is a player. Seen him with Buddy Guy.

Totally is Greg Rzab, played on the tour after they kicked Sven out. Plus you can see him clearly and that's his face.

GREG RZAB ON BASS...PERIOD

falsejesus Do you know, why did they actually kick Sven out?

Ok kid

Julie Strauss coke and mushrooms.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood

Jerking off musically

Uniting with his brother...11 nov.2019..see howard stern show!

After reading the book, it's telling that there's little to no interaction during this performance between Jimmy and Rich. How sad that something so good was just sabotaged.

@@JDrumUK what happened?

Paul G , it was actually after being on the Jay Leno show, when they did "The Wanton Song." Regardless, it was a goddamn shame.

Whoops... apologies,I ran my mouth too soon. Didn't see the Leno performance! So damn good!

@@LOVEnGREED you're right!! I read the book and now i found myself visiting the vids online.

Feels like sacrilege, but I have to admit I like Chris Robinson's "Your Time is Gonna Come" better

That's live energy. Everything is always faster.
