Crowes fly again

We saw Black Crowes tonight opening their reunion tour at the Ballroom from the 2nd floor "box" (thanks to my son Izzy) - just across from Goldie and Kurt. Who says rock has no support in a (film) family. . . It was loud, and yes, they played the cover version of "Coming Home" (the song Delaney Bramlett, another great rock voice, sang with Derek and The Dominos).

P.S. First sender of an email (with code "Crowes-are-back") will receive the Q104.3 keychain (courtesy of my son's buddies at the Classic Rock station) as a small gift.
