The Black Crowes - Wiser Time (CAUTION - This is a JAM!!!!); Chicago, IL 4/17/13

[@vclazlo929]

One of the true anthems of we latter Gen-X’ers whose coming of age years were the mid-90’s.......

[@DevilsChild-vw3ws]

💯👍

[@jangofett5806]

Agreed, but it isn’t a true anthem unless Marc Ford is playing along side Rich. They are our generations Keith Richards/Ron Woods.

[@Wisdomofautumn]

A true anthem for this boomer.

[@thomasgerman2002]

Steve could replace Charlie in the stones

[@barryhicks5295]

This. All day. This was our wedding song.

[@johnnymullick8948]

Best Crowes song ever gives my chills, harmony's are great.

[@jameswoods9064]

"OH Sweet Nuttin" is pretty damn close.

[@carolynramirez130]

Great song. Love the Crowes

I swear to God...one of THE greatest songs EVER written...glory, just beyond our reach.

Marc Ford and the Black Crowes were a marriage made in heaven... His playing bought something to their music that other guitarists have not managed to do... His tone and execution is sublime... Southern Harmony and Amorica are two of my favourite albums... period. The musicianship on those records is out of this world

[@nathancoventryuk2112]

Amen bruv

[@crawfish1333]

agreed

[@ianandkimmaness4465]

Yep

[@philbergeron5306]

Those 2 albums are my favourite of the 90’s

[@davidhilliardmusic]

I love it, a post 2000's crowd cheering a guitar solo, it's a rare and beautiful sound.

[@slash12376]

I need more people to talk about how cool and great Rich's playing is!

[@Online_ToughGuy]

Indeed. Seems like after about 2010 or so Rich really started stretching his legs out with leads.

[@josephvonbulow1164]

Oh sweet nuthin was killer 👍🤘

[@jaysjaysgarden398]

Rich's playing a laid back style coming directly from the soul

[@EscapeVelo]

Bring back Marc Ford!

He's Tight !

Chris' smile says it all. Awesome.

[@8baseballgeek]

Rich is incredible. I had seen the Crowes many times in the past but never this close and was VERY VERY impressed to be able to really see with my own eyes just how good he is!

[@aaronlfx9199]

Chris Robinson's voice is like a fine wine and gets better with age. So much more soul in his voice compared to his younger days.

[@estevanramonperezpascual2108]

This and "Soul Singing" are genius jams live. They make me want to grow my hair out and tour the west coast in a VW van.

[@tommysalami131]

Let’s do it!!

[@jeffjessee]

Amen brother

[@ianandkimmaness4465]

I’ve seen this song played in concert countless times over the years but damn this one brought me the good feels right when I needed it.

[@jesapizza]

Indeed. And Gorman puts on a clinic. A rhythm section extraordinaire. And Rich--Lord have mercy-- he starts the turn for home @12:35, and you hear several fans starting to whoop it up, and he gives the double nod acknowledgement @ 12:46--just a frickin awesome player--

[@jesselharry]

I've listened to this over twenty times so far. I just keep going.

[@ayngemac]

This is probably my favorite Black Crowes song ever. I wonder how many times I've listened to it....? Whoa. Kids, don't do drugs.

Woooooowwwww…. Magical rendition!! And Steve Gorman makes them float with his big ears!! He is constantly truly listening and anticipating! What a band!!

[@JoeTavares-q5v]

I remember when I first heard this way back then. This song still blows my mind after all these years. Thank you, mother love bone.

[@rftutd9409]

Their best song? A point be argued, but seeing the length and the word JAM in the thumbnail, no brainer of a click. Loved it, I've seen them do this live, wouldve loved to see 10 more minutes played on this theme.

[@Philipsimojo]

Chris and Rich, you guys made some of the world's most amazing music together. Your band changed the world of rock and roll. Thank you for your contribution.

[@tatterdemalion3667]

After the shattering revelation of Southern Harmony? I waited for Tall... & kept waiting... when Amorica rolled in, it was worth it for this song alone.

[@cheryld159]

Chris & Rich - you have to know how magical you sound together & if not, please watch some of these close harmony videos of ya'll - Family is everything, especially when you share such a heartfelt spirit & the love of music! Your expression of such is natural-born - can't fake that shit. My life was enriched by you & I want to Thank You. Life is so short - Die with no regrets.

[@radiodead745]

Who the F~€K gives this a thumbs down?!? There is nothing “thumbs down “ about this!! This is a well written well played and performed song!! Hey 60 people go back to listening to Cardi B or Drake or whatever the hell you like better!!

[@Geedreezy]

Damn! Rich cuts the wah at 12:35, that note could level the building! I haven't felt inspired by longer jams for a while, but this takes the cake. BTW, this exact recording from the board is available on the Black Crowes website, well worth the buy.

[@davebeischer3171]

I don't know how I stumbled onto this, but my face melted off at 13 min. Un-real.

[@byergo]

Unbelievable video, well done. I was at this show and Wiser was far and away the highlight. Thank you for posting so I can relive it over and over again..

[@76ajc]

Saw them in N.O. two days ago with my lady. She totally hooked me up with a ticket that night. All of those dudes killed it! So awesome!!! Thank you baby.

[@8baseballgeek]

thanks man...nice of you to say. It was so much fun to do.

[@bodasparatodalavida]

Chris Robinson is probably the finest vocalist of his generation and up there with rock's greats. I've seen the Black Crowes in their pomp( fanfu*kintastic) and CRB this year, ( fu*kin amazing) both were incredible concerts. I missed Rich this year due to work which was a real shame but saw Luther in the Northern Mississippi Allstars (brilliant). I hope the Crowes come together in the near future for a world tour as they are an absolutely amazing band with an impecable musical taste. The ex-members are producing some of the best music out there but to deny the Crowes and their fans would be a real shame.

[@bodasparatodalavida]

It's ok to like the Faces and the Dead Chris....

[@mauallen4234]

ParatodalavidaVideo Before I ever heard the Crowes, I was, and am, a Skynyrd and Allmans fan. Love my southern music. Turned 13 when Skynyrd’s plane crashed. Saw the Rossington-Collins bands last show and have seen the Allman Bros play multiple times in the Carolinas and Florida. Will never forget their shows. Well, the stories might get a little warped with time but I’ll remember most of it. I saw the Crowes in south Florida several years ago. I just love their sound. They rose to the top of my charts. I’ve seen alot of bands play, bluegrass (my first concert, the Seldom Scene) rock (Foghat my first rock concert), classical music at the Kennedy Center, marimba in Guatemala, ranchera in south Florida (Vicente Fernandez, an amazing man) and everything from Aerosmith to ZZ Top. Blackfoot twice at a theatre , whose name I can’t remember, in Baltimore that had amazing sound. I miss the Crowes. For me, they filled the void of the original Skynyrd that left when I was 13. Different sound but same southern charm. Ronnie, Allen and the boys who’ve left can’t jam together anymore, for now, but Chris and Rich can, and should. I want to hear me some new tunes from the old Crowes.

[@avonlady30]

@@mauallen4234 Great comment! Loved reading that!

[@chriskauerz806]

@@mauallen4234 I was about to be 4 yrs old when the plane crashed in my home state. Crazy I wound up dating a girl some 30 yrs later who was from Gilsburg and her Dad was one of the 1st responders. And not the EMS kind. He was the ol country man that heard the crash and jumped in his pickup to head to the scene. It was like 45 min to an hr before the trained paramedics found the crash sight. The 1st time I met him I had to ask and all he could really muster up was something like "we just went down there and started pulling people out and loading them up and driving to the hospital". It wasn't until much later that they found out it was Lynyrd Skynyrd... As far as the rest of your story it sounds like we share the same tastes. I've seen more live music than I can remember. CRB is a killer live show and especially in an intimate setting.. RIP Casal.. But here comes the BUT.. There will never be another Rossington, Allen Collins, Steve Gaines and Leon Wilkeson on the stage together sadly.. I can't even imagine what those shows were like in the 70's.. Thank God we have KZbin to show us!!

[@heltomb]

This is a great show. Need more of it. I've seen them no less than15 times. some good, some bad, but loved every one.

[@maxpowerjunior]

Sweet. When Chris comes in at the end, he belts it. And his words seem to take on a new meaning.

8baseballgeek: Great job capturing one of our national treasures, the Black Crowes! Thanks for helping me relive this experience. (Drove in from Detroit.) During the recent hiatus, gained even more appreciation for the individual Robinsons. (It's great to hear Rich jam on every song, and nice to see Chris play so much guitar.) However, when it comes to the Robinson brothers, 1 plus 1 equals so much more than 2! Nice camera work capturing this gem.

[@jimwagner9079]

Jackie Greene's tone is incredible. I saw him play with Gov't Mule at the Royal Oak music theater about 10 years ago and was amazed by both him and Warren Haynes .
