The Black Crowes — Newport Folk Festival, 2008

Live concert film of The Black Crowes at the Newport Folk Festival, at Fort Adams State Park (Rhode Island), in 2008, where the American band closed out the Saturday program after a heavy downpour, as headliners. Led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson, the Black Crowes embody a Southern rock and roots-steeped blues-rock in the lineage of the Faces and the Rolling Stones, which built their reputation from their debut album Shake Your Money Maker (1990). At Newport, their set moves between acoustic passages — including a cover of Bob Dylan’s Girl From The North Country — and electric peaks served by guest guitarist Luther Dickinson, around classics such as Jealous Again, before closing on Thorn In My Pride. A live capture representative of the stage energy and jam spirit of a great American rock band, in the prestigious setting of one of the oldest festivals in the United States. With no complete, verified official setlist, the exact song order is not reliably documented.
