Black Crowes on Letterman - Jealous Again

[DruDixon777]

and Steve Gorman?

[DruDixon777]

Where is Johnny Colt and why is the Letterman guitarist playing?

[namey420]

20 years later there the most rok n roll rock band out

[stonedgypsies]

im just wondering...where's steve gorman at this time? (,")

[dLimboStick]

I remember when I first heard the Black Crowes. It was a time when there was an endless parade a roots rock bands, and I thought, here's just another flash in the pan band.  Boy was I wrong. These guy were/ARE the real deal. So many bands at that time were just trying to sound like early 70's bands in order to make a hit. The Black Crowes are just trying to make great music....and they do it very successfully.

[chuckboombuck]

Great video! The band full tilt covers this song on my channel!!!!

[live4khaos]

Love they way they walk on and just play like they are on the show every week. They knew they had an album and songs

[rickinlaf]

Geezus, they freaking torched the place!

[charlaheiser]

this is the band i remember... disliked the live shows from more recent dates. this was one of my favorite bands ever. i'm so stunned by discovering this tonight. clarity in chris' voice is shot now. :(

[madi4503]

Damn Paul had hair. Can anybody tell me what yr this is from.

[litatyas]

@madi4503 1990 i think

[mrmeekus92]

@wichrau Sorry, but i couldn't disagree more. His voice has matured over the years and now its awesome. To say his voice is now weak obviously shows you haven't heard the brothers of a feather- live at the roxy cd

[FMHammyJ]

talent, singing without autotune, artists playing their own instruments, singing with soul without vocal hystrionics(hellooo Adam Lambert).....and no half-naked women and men parading around to keep your mind off how badly the lead singer sucks.....ahhh those were the days....

[SJ9336JE]

The coolest band we have seen after the Stones in the 70ies. These two are the top bands of all times for me.

[orkam64]

one of those songs you crank up when it comes up on the car radio. If you are new to the Crowes, also check out Faces. You'll probably recognize the lead singer.

[gasbomb75]

Brilliant

[SudneyJames]

Wonderful. 

[LumierexCosmic]

God he was gorgeous back then.

I wish he'd get rid of the fur these days....

[TheMilanista89]

Women think I'm tasty...oh wait, wrong song.

[cjscanlon0205]

underrated? i think so.

[lakshmiluvsvishnu]

Stunning performances all around! So much assurance for a television DEBUT. There are so many reason why this band is still very much with us -- thanx 4 the upload!!!!!!!!1

[christopher1able]

AWESOME ROCKER!!!!!!!!!

[mattyp3400]

wow paul was rocking

[dalehenderson]

Love it!!! 

[hateangie]

best front man

[shadownglass]

Black Crowes one of the best of all time. Some of the best soulful blues, boogie and rock and roll ever. Get Down, Get Funky and Let The Freak Flag Fly !

[60s70sRock]

1. How many times have the Black Crowes (or just the Robinson Brothers) played on Letterman?

2. Where are the rest of the Crowes in this performance?

3. Damn Chris was a good looking guy back then :D

[LumierexCosmic]

@60s70sRock 3. = YES *slobber*

Thumbs up!



[thurblues]

great tune nearly as good as ours

[duckyduckmanduck]

chris´s got some rod stewart lookings, specially with that hair cut!

[dalyryg]

lol to the dude in the checkerboard vest and clown shoes

[amoricanCrowe]

That was Sid McGinnis (sp?) Pretty amazing considering half the band was Letterman's house band (Will Lee-Bass, Anton Fig-Drums and Paul Shaffer-Keys) and it sounded exactly like the record.

[AnotherWacko]

haha check out that 1992 hair

[steveconn]

Almost saw them an hour away in El Paso, Tx on 10/20 but was too freakin' tired.

[imjspaceman]

Wow, that's an old one for the Crowes. Great rock and roll band! Thanks for posting.

[hateangie]

GO PAUL!!! GO!!!!

[steveconn]

It DOES sound alot like the Stones Crazy Mama.

[imjspaceman]

Good call, absolutely! In fact I was learning to play this song on the guitar and all the sudden it dawned on me how much it sounded like "Crazy Mama." It's not the exact same chord sequence, but Rich certainly does borrow a lot of Keith Richards (which is OK). Rock on!

[steveconn]

What are the chords to this, by the way?

[eweezy38]

It's a jazz d on the 7th frat over and over. Then Chorus is D C B D G. Then the break is a C hammer on and then G Hammer on

[steveconn]

Thanks!

[i847]

Classic!!!

[mse1576]

Is that Gorman on drums?

[alternativetomain]

strange, watching it now, all these years later, he reminds me of rod stewart.

[THEBIGBADMUNKY]

its just a rip off of the stones crazy mama

[mse1576]

Even though I love this band, I am inclined to agree with you.

[justingarman]

Nobodys laughing now.. one of the GREATEST bands EVER!!!

[butterp7]

I have this song loaded on my ipod mp3 radio on my motorcycle and I tell you it is one of the greatest songs to listen to while you're driving. It just makes you get into the ride!!

[bufford4]

Paul's band knows just how to accentuate

[valnaples]

"it's called 'Shake Your Moneymaker' says Dave" ONE HELLACIOUS cd!!!! Dave knows good music!!!

[gibsonfanchuck]

The guy in the white / checkered vest must have won some kinda contest where he got to play with them, lol. I've never seen anyone "less rock n roll" than this cheesepuff. He's trying like hell to fit in though, gotta give him that.

[radcam69]

That's Sid McGinnis, FuckStick. He's a fixture of that band. Do your research. Will Lee on bass, another icon.

[gibsonfanchuck]

who would do research on an idiot like that? and fuckstick? lol, are u 12 yrs old?. do some research on how to make your dick bigger so u won't be so angry.

[ih8tbush]

who is playing drums?

where was SG?

[ih8tbush]

who is playing bass?

Where was JC?

[flubno]

That looks like Will Lee on bass. He was part of lettermans house band back then. They do that some times, if a band comes on the show that they really, really like sometimes the house musicans will ask if they can play with them, just for the kicks. Most bands are good sports about it.

[kumazilla]

I'd never heard of The Black Crowes when I saw them open for Heart in 1989, and they blew me away. This reminds me of that show, thanks for posting it. Someone should mention Anton Fig playing the hell out of the drums- The Crowes rely on solid, soulful groove and Fig delivers the goods, as always, in a fill-in role. Same can be said for Will; both are just consummate pros. As good as the Crowes rhythm section is, they weren't terribly missed here...

[jdcovington]

I do believe Dave commented " That was some Rock n Roll the way that GOD intended it", amen!

[cacorkins]

Lettermans paino player Paul Schaffer is crackin me up in this video. But superdork in the white vest was well, kinda dorky lol but all in all its a cool video

[lits]

Who cares what he's wearing? He's killin' it, Mac-style on the keys!

[cacorkins]

yes the piano player is amazing, but i wasnt making fun of his clothing, im talking about the guy playing the acoustic guitar

[packimann]

Forget the guys name but damn he can tickle the shit outta the ol' ivory.

[kylemas2005]

paul schaffer dumbass. learn your history.

[packimann]

i said i forgot it. Now go back to your basement you 40 year old virgin.

[medavid1111]

thats a good come back,,,, laughed out loud on that,,, then was a tad sad for the fella, because it's probably true...

[2004gallardo]

Good diss of this prick...

[Slikrik1212]

Go on Paul!

[rizzo1303]

ONe of the best bands with one of the best backing bands - Awesome!

[mustardsmusings]

paul schaefer can play with anybody....

[godzuki444]

Anton Fig on drums ?? and Steve ...?????

[bay500]

Paul Schaefer fucking rocks this number. Period.

[mkl62]

Dec. 20, 2008. Chris, I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday today. I just want you to know that I saw you all in person in March 1990 when I was in the Navy. You all appeared at On Stage in Norfolk, VA. and opened up for Junkyard. I spoke to you after the show while you mingled with the fans there. Can you remember that far back? Again, Happy Birthday & may you have many more.

[ReverendEd330]

Furthermore, these guys came out when all black radio had to offer was rap, and we all had it shoved down our throats on MTV and everywhere we went until it poisoned the music industry. Again, the attitude that black artists got screwed in the past so therefore anything that came after is a ripoff is a joke. These guys aren't ripping off Jay-Z or Snoop, so get with the program. Every black artist in rock and roll is welcome and cherished. Update your info, soulcop83.

[gamecock930]

well said, friend

[rikyvalli]

it's not only rock n roll... this is ROCK AND ROLL!!! i don't know if you understand me...

[DIEGOBLUESMAN]

Es solo Rock and Roll , y nos gusta

[DIEGOBLUESMAN]

This is Rock and Roll

Only that , but I like it!!!!!

[rocketman63]

KICK!  ASS! -Southern Fried Rock!!

[w0bbl3r]

the "bad guy playing piano" is paul schaefer, one of the most respected musicians in the jazz/blues world today. he played with many of the greats, and even played with the blues brothers.

[xblacqx]

you obviously know nothing about piano.. or music talent at that.

[staindclass]

@xblacqx at least he said "one of the", I'm sure he didn';t mean to offend you by that statement, which I believe to be true from start to end. He was in both BLUES BROTHERS movies!!!

[soulcop83]

So while I'll agree that anybody can play or listen to any music I'll also say I never heard tell of any "R&R blues rock" muscian pay tribute or royolties to any of the artist they borrowed from.

[ReverendEd330]

You don't know shit about the Black Crowes, go look on "3 Snakes And A Charm" and "Warpaint" and see the love they give to black artists. They understand where it comes from and don't live much different than the blues men of old, including dealing with addiction and scorn from their peers, so take that attitude that you have to be black and from the old days to understand blues. Modern black radio has all but abandoned blues.

[soulcop83]

Okay first off can you steal a type of music no, music is there fore everyone of any color.

That being said can you steal a style of entertaiment while not acknowleding the roots of it and delibertly blacklisting the ORIGINAL artist? Well yeah that's what happened to ALL minority artist right on up to about the 1960's.

[schampz]

incrível. vendo esse vídeo percebo que esses caras estão virando verdadeiros dinossauros do rock'n roll. não vemos muitos dessa espécie vindos dos anos 90, mas de antes (50,60,70).

black crowes é excessão.

[namey420]

wow they look like kids never really thought about how long they been around almost 20 years wow

[w0bbl3r]

prbably they were a teensy bit stoned/wasted, and couldnt be arsed 2 bother going on letterman

[jeffro74]

where is Steve and Johnny..

Lame, 1 star

[w0bbl3r]

i dunno, looks like apart from chris, rich and jeff cease, they r using the late show house band dont it? never seen this 1 before. still sounds great tho

[BillyDreamer2]

For some reason, in the early days of Letterman, bands had to use his rythm section. So drummers and bassists had to get high in the green room as their bands played.

[FloraBama]

This was in 1990

[MWdream]

Wow, was that an album? Man this is old footage isn't it ???

[oliverpanceoff]

garzaeduardo, eric clapton is no thief he's a genious. the blues were neither stolen nor borrowed, they were passed on. I doubt slowhand is concerned with you forgiving him. And why would you want him to start a fund for black children when you refer to past blues musicians as niggers.

[garzaeduardo]

learn to spell,then talk to me later.

[lrayburn]

Chris looks like Rod Stewart with that hair and no beard.

[rrrasmus]

Great performance! My favorite song by the Crowes

[danschutz]

I believe it was 1990.

[redrkrnik]

@danschutz

May 3, 1990

[wannabeangusyoung]

is that marc ford on the les paul?!!!!!

god he's changed!

rock 'n' roll!

[kirjtc2]

No, Marc didn't join until later.

[wannabeangusyoung]

i know now. he was jeff cease

[wannabeangusyoung]

i know now. he was jeff cease

[deadjailorrocknroll]

came to my town for the first time a few days ago... although the venue was WAY undersold, they let everyone know what they had waited for...

[dong604]

The black crowes have always been an awesome REAL rock band to me. when i was in jr. high in the early 90's and everybody was obsessed with bands like nirvana and pearl jam, i had the crowes in my tape deck! Chris has a spectacular voice and this music really stands up over time too.

[classic1008]

Man, he doesn't take his eyes off Ol' Yellowshoes for a second, does he? Looks like he's waiting for him to fuck up at any moment. But he does good.

[zzzepptri]

Fan-frikin'-tastic band. Wish they would tour again with Jimmy Page. What a live disc they cut together.

[ada0127]

Chris is the sexiest rock star ever period!

[richhillbilly]

Looked like Paul Scheafer was really getting into it

[LLyoddXmas]

iIMO .. the main influence to be seen early was The Faces , not so much the Stones , either way , awsome stuff ..ROCK ON !!

[silentdrum]

You can really see the Stones influence on them early on. Don't get me wrong, they were hot and all... later on they really cohered their own style, their own forms. More hippie than blues, I guess. Good stuff.

[ZosoPeace]

just saw the black crowes last week. My fav band by far. Chris robinson is a musical genious

[chaz1227]

they arent make great songs like this anymore

[cn854]

The "dork" in yellow shoes probably makes more cash in a hour than you make in a month! Too bad the whole band didn't appear but oh that's TV commercialism USA Network style, at it's best...

[rrrasmus]

My favorite song by the Crowes. Great performance!

[muga69]

im gonna take a guess and say the acoustic guitarist with yellow shoes is NOT in the Black Crowes... dork.

[spacemanGoldie]

here's how it goes.English bands stole the blues from under uncle sam's nose, changed it, made it their own. The yanks ten steal it back without changing it and serve it up to the brits. This is derivative of the Stones and the Faces, it's good, but not groundbreaking, this is my fave Crow's song - shame they couldn't keep it up.

[watty024]

yeah, i don't entirely agree with that statement of stealing things...they borrowed, and for the most part, as any beatles fan will tell you, it was tough to get american records in britain when r&r was big in the u.s. so, the uk was always a little behind with catching on to u.s. trends.

the brits 'discovered' american blues when blues musicians fell out of fashion with u.s. audiences, and so went oversees to play.

eric and the gang put their spin on it, and the fresh approach hit in u.s.

[garzaeduardo]

bro, blues was never is fashion in the u.s,fucking nigger hating bastards let pat boone do the money making.they fucking stole every fucking chord...everybody thinks the rolling stones created the blues.niggers created the blues and rock and roll and white people ripped them off and made all the money.eric clapton is a fucking thief and has never paid back what he stole!!!when he creates a fund for black children i'll forgive him.

[fenderbass1200]

ok, first, try to lay off "nigger" for a sec. yes, blacks like robert johnson, howlin' wolf, john lee hooker, etc. created blues. however, psychadelic blues rock was developed primarily by white english artists like zeppelin, the yardbirds (page, beck and clapton), etc. you might cite hendrix to disprove me, but hendrix even didn't fall into his true element until he reached england in 1966.

[garzaeduardo]

pluhleeez.

[fenderbass1200]

yeah, enough said

[woefbeer]

psychadelic blues? what's that? It's by defenition music from the heart and soul.

And if you want to pin-point some inventer for the white english blues than start off with John Mayall, they all lined up begging for a place in the Bluesbreakers! Beck, Taylor, Clapton, Green etc. Also Alexis Corner was a great artist and blues innovator.

British blues has a great tradition due to all those legends.

[watty024]

brosef, blues was the daddy of it all...that's where it all started. having said that, the blues is the blues, r&r is r&r, and in music, it's all been done.

instead of worrying about who ripped off who 50 years ago, just listen to the music, and let it move you.

did you read my reply? that's how it went, bro. who thinks the rolling stones created the blues? elvis made money playing all kinds of music, not just blues. and clapton waited 60 years to 'steal' that music, so staute ran out.

[awhiteslash23]

KIKIN MOGALLY

[medavid1111]

anyone know the chords to this song?

[Alex94131]

Tune your guitar to open G. The main verse goes mainly between D and Aadd9 (or D6sus4), which is made by barring the 7th fret and making an Am7 shape with your 2nd & 3rd fingers. The fills are pretty easy to figure out from there.

[medavid1111]

thanks, I play keyboard, though, and got the chords from Chordie dot com. I play it with D through verses and D C D B G through first chorus and C G through second chorus.

[srm2k]

Why retune your guitar? This is straight ahead rock & roll - most of it can be done on two strings. There's no big secret to be learned here.

[cn854]

Skinny jeans and cowboy boots...

Chris is a killer showman....

[jere413]

When they came back after commercial, Dave said to Paul, "That's rock-n-roll pretty much the way God intended it to be."

[shittrav]

my thoughts exactly

[Gman6755]

Amazing stuff!!!! One of the best groups ever!!!

[ianvisser]

Kids, that thing Dave is holding in the beginning is called an "LP"...

[medavid1111]

lol no kidding,, sadly, Im old enough to know that....

[perfectmoment]

I agree, Paul rocked hard on this number.

[galeafydor]

black crows still rock

[sebjoeko]

Greatest damn voice in rock n roll, ever, period.

[medavid1111]

easy, there dumb dumb,. it isnt even close

[watty024]

not even close? depends how you rank 'em i guess.

personally, i think john lennon has the greatest voice, but then i listen to freddie mercury, or ozzy osbourne, or robert plant, or steve marriott, or elvis presley, or burton cummings, and the list goes on....

not even close? its all subjective i guess.

[lumberjack2112]

whoa! younger letterman WITHOUT glasses!!! thats phenomanal!!!

[iluvspee]

marry me.....

my god............

[hioctane103]

ah hell, they should kick stacey out and take mr.schafer on keys.

[mikeb1921]

classic...Chris Robinson is awesome. How 'bout Paul jammin'?

[danthedrummer85]

Dude....Paul Schafer is awesome.

[binaural42]

Awesome... but where are Steve, Eddie and Johnny? And why do they have the Late Night guitar player too?

Anyway, the Crowes' are the most rock n' roll rock n' roll band in rock n' roll.

[bigasskissfan73]

I was wondering the same thing.

[staplek]

yeah weird-what up with that?

[pbmax]

Like the way the singer does the step/clap ala mick jagger by way of rod stewart.

[sextypething405]

Chris Robinson=best voice in rock...ever.

[bay500]

Tight as fuck! Actually a great version, as good as the album version if you ask me! x

[cn854]

First time I saw them on TV was a bit later on SNL doing "She Talks to Angels". Mr. Robinson performed and danced the song of his life that night...

[watty024]

i remember when glenn close hosted and they did sometimes salvation and as yet to be released non-fiction. i was in a room full of straights, and none of them got it (filthy hippies!).

the best band on tv as far as im concerned.

[tommiecoughlin]

Great stuff!

[lalocrowes]

colt?????????????? how are you

[crowebroke]

haven't seen this before, thought I'd collected just about everything from the boys, big thanks - it's burned to a disc for ever

[pjeffersonrocks]

why wasn't the original bass player and keyboardist on that video?

[watty024]

i don't know why, but i believe chuck leavell was on keys on this record. also, where is steve?

interesting anecdote...i saw the crowes, billed as'overdose jubilee', at the opera house in t.o. in '95. rumours had it that mick and keith were going to crash the show.

so, we all waited, encore, no mick or keith. but who does show up? chuck and ronnie.

after shake your money maker and a wicked statesboro blues we knew we saw something special.

ty for the vid! peace anyway

[kingdingle]

Oh My!! I'm a big Crowes fan from Minnesota and was pleasantly surprised by this little nugget. Their network TV debut on Letterman no less....look at the album...that is so neat...they must not of had enough clout to get the full band in there but they sound good none the less...and they look like pups. I saw the Kare-11 station Id so whoever recorded this must be from Minnesota too....that takes me back...cool stuff. Thanks.

[RED19W1NGS]

Black Crowes are awesome.
