Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek

I guess some people reckon Jimmy should stop pedaling his old Zeppelin classics and go and do something new instead. However the Crowes do an excellent job of inserting some new life into some great old songs. The set list is pretty impressive too; they chose to play some of the lesser-used Zeppelin Classics like "Hey hey what can do" together with "Ten years Gone" and "In my time of dying" from the legendary "Physical Graffiti". They also found room to record some great versions of some non-Zeppelin blues classics like "Shake your money maker" and Peter Greens "Oh Well" (part 1 only regrettably). All in all the Crowes provide a very confident musical backdrop and lead vocals for Jimmy’s wizardry. Although, for those of us who bought it on the internet under the belief that it would not be available in the shops, it’s a tad annoying now that it has got a normal retail release with an additional track.
