Crazy story about a Black Crows concert I went to in ‘92. My group of friends went to see them play and one of the guys brought his girlfriend that nobody really liked other than the friend. I don’t know what she drank or took but by the 3rd song she was completely messed up and somehow ended up crowd surfing…
Because of her messed up state and she was like a limp noodle, someone (or a group of someone’s) dropped her and she hit the floor hard. They stopped the concert, turned on the house lights, and took her to the ER.
Since we all carpooled together, we left the concert and went to the hospital together missing the rest of the concert.
We were all pissed at the guy and the girlfriend…
He broke up with her by the end of the week.
Edit: she was fine other than a few decent bruises.

@goosehd I saw BC around the same time in a high school gymnasium in Germany / they covered AB’s Dreams as part of their set. Literally the best concert I’ve ever seen - better than Radiohead.
-
@indigostiff I once saw Warren Haynes come on and play an extended version of Dreams with them. Just great!
-
The Crowes were so good early on. Loved Luther Dickinson’s stint with them too. Chris Robinson Brotherhood with sadly, dearly departed Neal
Casal was great too,as are Magpie Salute.
Since I mentioned Casal, I’ll mention Circles Around the Sun, who are still crushing. They do kind of a space disco instrumental thing.
It’s a shame CR is such a douche. The way he treated his bandmates is inexcusable. I guess he and Rich made amends but Gorman got completely screwed.
-
@mclaincausey I think douche is doing a disservice to the word. Gorman was on an episode of Dean Delray’s podcast…Let there be talk. It’s really interesting,and he did get screwed.

Great name for a band!
Time to get funky with the High Fade!

@Jett129 I don’t know if you have seen this series of Drumeo videos on YouTube where they take drummers from different bands/genres and play them drumless tracks for them to come up with their own take they would play with the music. It’s been great to watch the different drummers and in quite a few instances, I think they do as well as or even better than the original recording. This is one of them that I thought was awesome to watch and wanted to share:

@Tago-Mago I laughed my ass off on that video
The entire series has been great to watch with the Mike Portnoy video being another favourite. -
Those are so cool but I’m frustrated that they missed the obvious: follow the performance with active listening of the original track WITH drums and let them react to how the original artist handled the song.
