Writer: eztezt

Two legends. One unforgettable night. The raw magic of Page and the Crowes return in this remastered anniversary edition.

In celebration of a monumental milestone in rock history, The Black Crowes and legendary guitarist Jimmy Page, recently nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, announce the re-release of their iconic live album, Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek. This landmark album, originally recorded in October 1999 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and at Jones Beach in August of the same year, captures two of rock’s most influential forces coming together to create something historic. Featuring powerful renditions of Led Zeppelin classics alongside The Black Crowes’ signature blues-rock anthems, the 36-track anniversary edition has been meticulously produced, mixed, and remastered by Kevin Shirley. The release also includes 16 previously unreleased tracks, exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, video footage, and much more. Live at the Greek will be available on March 14 through The Orchard. Pre-save the album now.


Ahead of the full album release, Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes are offering a two-track single for fans to enjoy: “No Speak No Slave” and “Bring It On Home.” The first, “No Speak No Slave”, a fan favorite, is an example of the band’s dynamic chemistry, with a newly remastered version that highlights Jimmy Page’s usually blistering guitar work. The accompanying music video includes previously unseen footage from the unforgettable performance. The second track, a never-before-released rendition of “Bring It On Home,” reimagines the Led Zep classic, blending Page’s iconic guitar with the soul and grit of Rich and Chris Robinson’s performances, delivering a rendition that stands as one of the most memorable moments in rock history. Both tracks are available for streaming now.


Jimmy Page shared his excitement about the upcoming release, saying, “I’m really looking forward to the soon-to-be-available release of Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes material from concerts in 1999. The new mixes capture the collaboration of those historic encounters and provide the full explosive passion and energy of those alchemical moments.” Oh, Jimmy: always bringing alchemy into everything!


Chris Robinson, frontman of The Black Crowes, reflected on the release, saying, “The new Live at the Greek box set brings the whole experience of our work with Jimmy into a vibrant, electric, and powerful perspective. Hail, hail rock ‘n roll!”


Rich Robinson also expressed his enthusiasm for revisiting this material: “Going through the shows and putting together the new box set has been an incredible dive back to that time in our history. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to play these iconic songs with the man who composed them. The sound of the new mixes and extra songs blew me away when I first heard them.”

The remastered editions offer a stunning representation of the musical interplay between Page, Audley Freed, and Rich Robinson, complemented by Chris Robinson’s soulful vocals. A standout moment from the album includes Page’s use of his signature B-bender guitar on “She Talks to Angels,” adding a country-rock flavor to the otherwise timeless rock ballad. Additionally, the Best Of double LP edition includes a never-before-released track, “Jam,” written by Rich Robinson and Jimmy Page during a soundcheck, making it a rare and special addition to this collection.


This re-release of Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek is a testament to the undeniable power of this historic collaboration. Don’t miss your chance to experience these legendary performances once again.Rock Royalty Reunited: Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes’ 25th Anniversary Live at the Greek
