Track list and set lists

The setlists of the two concerts consisted mainly of Led Zeppelin numbers, plus some blues rock covers and three pieces by the Black Crowes per show: No Speak No Slave, Wiser Time (only October 18), Hard to Handle (only October 19) and Remedy . For contractual reasons, these were not allowed to be published. The Blues Shake Your Money Maker by Elmore James , after which the Black Crowes titled their first album , has also been part of the band's repertoire since the mid-1990s. The track Shape of Things to Come , also known as Shapes of Things , comes from the Yardbirds , where Jimmy Page first played bass and then guitar in the 1960s.

useful information

  • Distribution via the Internet caused a server crash on the online service MusicMaker.com on the day of publication. The CD set a new sales record for the Internet music trade.
  • Born in Hanover, Sven Pipien, a childhood friend of some of the band members, had been the band's bass player since 1998. He was fired by the Black Crowes in May 2000 for unreliability. His name is on the back of the cover, but it is neither shown in the booklet nor in the bonus material. Greg Rzab was initially hired as his successor. (After the band's break, which lasted from 2001 to 2005, Pipien is again bassist for the Crowes.)
  • From June to August 2000 Page and the Crowes went on a US tour for 11 more concerts, the setlists were expanded to include additional titles by Led Zeppelin and the Black Crowes and made more varied.
  • A worldwide continuation of the tour had to be canceled due to back problems at Jimmy Page.
  • In March 2001 the Black Crowes sued the insurance company Lloyd's of London , with which the band had insured against the cancellation of the tour because it did not want to pay the agreed premiums.
