November 19th and 20th 2010 is the last time the Crowes were in Atlanta, enduring a nearly three year hiatus. Felt good to have them back and they sounded as tight as ever. They opened the night with the first six songs from Three Snakes and One Charm, in order, which included "Nebakanezer", one they haven't played much in the last 18 times I've seen them. Not their most well known album, so, very cool. Then followed that set with "Medicated Goo", a song I was unfamiliar with by the band Traffic. That was the only one I didn't know. The brothers Robinson had the crowd screaming as loud as the music during a jam on "Thorn in My Side" and even had bassist Sven Pipien head banging for a few seconds. Ending the main set with the career starting cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle", they spiced it up with a cover of Deep Purple's "Hush" in the middle. The encore consisted of "Jealous Again", "Oh Josephine", and another great cover, Velvet Underground's "Oh! Sweet Nuthin". After two and a half years I finally got my fix, but I'm already jones-ing for more! (Luckily, they''ll be back in July)
