THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of rock music’s most legendary live collaborations, newly announced Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Black Crowes and global rock icon Jimmy Page have re-released their iconic live album, Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek.
Recorded during unforgettable nights of rock ’n’ roll in October 1999 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Jones Beach in August 1999, this album features powerful renditions of Led Zeppelin classics and The Black Crowes’ staple blues-rock jams. The 36-track anniversary album was produced, mixed, and remastered by Kevin Shirley and includes 16 previously unreleased tracks, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, video, and much more.
Says Page: “The new mixes capture the collaboration of those historic encounters and provide the full explosive passion and exciting energy of those alchemical moments.” Chris Robinson says: “The new Live at the Greek box set brings the whole experience of our work with Jimmy into a vibrant, electric, mystical and powerful perspective. Hail, hail rock ’n’ roll!”
Rich Robinson adds: “Going through the shows and putting together the new box set has been such an incredible dive back to that time in our history. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to play these amazing iconic songs with the man who composed them. The sound of the new mixes and extra songs blew me away when I first heard them.”
Standout moment includes Page’s masterful use of his signature B-bender guitar on The Black Crowes’ chart-topping hit She Talks to Angels, adding a unique country-rock twang to the otherwise timeless classic rock ballad. Also included is a never-before-released song Rich and Page wrote while jamming during a soundcheck. The track aptly titled Jams is a true rarity.
Ahead of the re-release, they dropped the two-track single No Speak No Slave and Bring It On Home. No Speak No Slave delivers a roaring performance by Page. The song is accompanied by a video featuring never-before-seen footage of the performance. Bring It On Home is the blues classic that was famously reinterpreted by Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II and reimagined again live in 1999. Page’s iconic guitar, the soulful energy of Rich Robinson and the gritty vocals of Chris Robinson made this performance exceptional.”
