The Black Crowes: Royal Albert Hall, London
Nina Antonia, MOJO, April 1995
WELCOME TO THE DUDE ranch aka the Royal Albert Hall. Legions of longhairs, clutching their Amorica Or Bust tour posters, strut into the luscious red and gold venue. While you might visualise The Black Crowes as sons of nature with grass between their toes and sunflowers for friends, tonight's incredible performance shows that they can whip up a storm whatever the surrounds.
