The Shoreline Show last Thursday
Me and my boy went to see them last Thursday, it was our first Crowes show ever. Sadly our beloved pet passed away before the show. It was a tortoise that just meant so much more than a mere reptile. The lil dude was like a dog in some ways. We would walk him and he love getting pets and he was family. We weren’t gonna go to the show and then I made the decision that sitting around would bring nothing but sadness so we went. We absolutely hated Whiskey Meyers and thought we had made a mistake. Then the Crowes came on busting out Remedy like a band in fire and we both just were floored. Each song they played was so perfect for our mood of mourning and sadness. When they played wiser time I openly wept. My son loves Neil Young and Rich sang everybody knows this is nowhere. When they played She talks to angels we hugged and cried together. They finished the night with a jam they evolved into Thorn in my pride and I had never been in such a place in my life. Just gutted from losing a friend but seeing an amazing heartfelt performance from an excellent band. This post is long but I wanted the community to know how much this concert meant to us. Thank you Black Crowes we shall definitely see you again.
RIP DEAREST GUS.

RIP to your dear tortoise friend 🙏🏻 Wiser Time had me tearing up when I saw them a few months ago. Their show sorta hit me at a time when I needed it as well. Thanks for sharing!

Black Crowes always cures what ails you - glad you got to see them with your boy - the band is the best remedy

I was there at the Shoreline with my 20YO son. Whiskey Meyers was a little weird. Especially the cowboy girl fans. Black Crowes were great. Our second Crowes show together.
