Commemorating the 25th anniversary of one of rock music’s most illustrious live collaborations, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Black Crowes, and global rock icon Jimmy Page have unveiled the definitive version of “Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek.” Originating from the electrifying rock and roll nights of October 1999 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Jones Beach in August of the same year, the reprised album encompasses powerful renditions of Led Zeppelin classics and The Black Crowes’ signature blues-rock tunes. Produced, mixed, and remastered by Kevin Shirley, the 36-track anniversary album contains 16 previously unreleased tracks alongside exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, video content, and more.
This release finds itself perched among the pantheon of great live LPs, standing in league with classics like The Who’s “Live at Leeds,” Nirvana’s “Unplugged in New York,” and Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison. MOJO described it as “enormous fun,” Classic Rock Magazine hailed it as “an ideal match,” while the NME noted that it “highlights Page and The Black Crowes’ musical chemistry.” Uncut Magazine lauded the 6LP box set, stating it “illustrates just how good a tour that was,” with the Daily Mirror cheering the artists on for “roaring through Led Zeppelin classics and swaggering Crowes gems.”
