The second band on my "Top Three Fave Bands" list is The Black Crowes. (and really, they are more like 1B.) I have been a fan since their very first album and I have seen them live 29 times. (updated 12-19-10) Chris Robinson happens to be the last person on my list of "people I really, really want to meet before I die". Never say never, right?!**

**I finally did get to talk to Chris after the 12-18-10 Crowes show, but it didn't quite go down like I had it planned out in my head. More on that later.

**b 7-26-11 My Dream FINALLY Came True! More to come...


On March 20, 2003 I had the chance to see Hookah Brown, Rich Robinson's solo band at the time. They played an amazing set and I was able to meet the band afterwards. You can read all about that here.

On December 18 and 19, 2010, I was able to talk with most members of The Black Crowes after the Fillmore shows in San Francisco, CA. When I'm finished with the write up, I'll post a link.
