Warpaint Live

If you love old fashioned blues style Rock & Roll with a southern flair Im sure youll love this. I have several of their CDs and they are all on my MP3 Player so I can listen to them on the go. They are one of my favorite groups. Noisy with lots of emotion.

I havent followed the career of The Black Crowes particularly closely over the past couple decades, but this live album caught my interest because Im a fan of Luther Dickinson. They definitely picked the right man for the job. This reminds me a lot of The Rolling Stones in the early seventies: really good song writing and riffs and incredible lead guitar work. The parallels between Luther and Mick Taylor can be seen in the sheer viruosity of a guitar god combined with the melodic restraint and musicianship of a veteran, providing perfectly appropriate fills and solos. Luther is definitely one of the best in the business today. And if Luther is Mick Taylor in this comparison, Chris and Rich Robinson are Jagger and Richards. They handled the majority of the songwriting (with the exception of a few covers, including one by the aforementioned Stones) and the tunes are catchy and addictive. This type of music is unfortunately rare in this day and age, and a must-own if youre a fan of old school rock n roll. (Side note: pick up as much North Mississippi Allstars music as you can too, because Luther is a guitarist that will be looked back upon as one of the best of a generation).

Im purchasing this CD right now. The samples sound great. Im sure the CD will be good but Im really hear to comment on how good this Rock band is. Unfortunately they dont make them like this anymore. Weve entered the Lady CACA era. I cant wait for this to be over.

Love this cd. Perfect condition, A+

Music is fine, cd case arrived very badly cracked

Los cuervos negros son sin duda alguna una de las mejores bandas que representan la esencia del rock norteaméricano, la banda de los hermanos Robinson, van mejorando como el vino a medida que pasan los años, y nos regalan, últimamente con más frecuencia, auténticas joyas como esta en cuestión, además de su disco Warpaint . La producción es de primerísima calidad, con un sonido espectacular. Larga vida a los cuervos. P.d.: el 2º album hace un homenaje a los Rolling Stones y a Eric Clapton, con versiones de ambos.

The studio version of Warpaint was tremendous but I think this live release might even be better. Why? Its live. The Crowes after all these years put forth on stage like few bands do (or can) anymore. They took the entire original album and played it all live, in order, start to finish. The live mix is great with a terrific stereo image. The band itself is hot, clearly they were recorded on a great night. Each and every Warpaint tune is just elevated because of the live setting. The band digs a little deeper into the melodies, the vocals more passionate, the solos remarkable. Disc two contains some great cover tunes, the Stones Torn and Frayed being quite possibly a good reason to buy the entire album in the first place. Luther Dickenson is just absolutely fierce on this. Speaking of guitar players, both Dickenson and Robinson give Crowes fans the ultimate treat on both CDs........they just.......seriouly......play. They compliment each other, they blend and weave effortlessly yet they can step out front when the music calls for it. Just a remarkable live album really. You cant beat the price and in this barren rock is dead landscape......you cant do better than this either. I just wish I could have experienced this as it happened on stage. Long live the Crowes.

Outstanding!!

Great cd and service

I am a huge fan of Warpaint. I never really followed the history of the Black Crowes very much and was pretty unaware of any hiatuses they took along the way. The very southern and somewhat country feel to Warpaint sold me right away. Before I knew it, I had listened to it a dozen or so times within a couple weeks. So not a few hours ago, Im browsing the local CD/Vinyl shop and looking for an artist with the last name of Adams. I dont find what I want, so on my way back down the aisle, I see BLACK CROWES and figured, hey, why the hell not check it out. I saw a few copies of Warpaint, and suddenly, in the back: Warpaint Live. Sold. I actually first got out my iPhone (/nerd) to come here and check out the reviews. (I also wanted to make sure it wasnt just the studio Warpaint with 6 extra live tracks on the second disc.) So far into my first listen, the mix is tight. They have recreated all the songs from the studio Warpaint with good faith and accuracy, but with little touches here and there that make it a unique experience. Exactly what I wanted out of a live BC album. Of course, I dont expect it to match the audacity of Freak and Roll, but its still a good effort. I am not disappointed in the least!
