If You Feel Like A Riot, Don't You Deny It

The Fillmore, San Francisco, Thursday evening, December 18, 2008. Another fan-fucking-tastic night of high energy freak & roll music from The Black Crowes. What a delight to hear Exit open the show; according to CrowesBase, they haven't played the song live since 8/25/95. The night's setlist was another nicely crafted mix of old, rare, new, and cover tunes, running from about 8:35 until about 10:40 p.m.

My favorite covers of the night were Do Right Woman, Do Right Man (Gram Parsons' version), Lowell George's Willin', and Poor Elijah (Eric Clapton with Bonnie & Delaney and Friends). Thursday night had a bit of a country flavor, and both Rich and Sven wore Nudie's style embellished western shirts, which helped set the mood.
