Throwback Concert: Brothers of a Feather at Brighton Music Hall 2020

By Drew Carrano

Happy Birthday to Rich Robinson! The rocker and founding member of The Black Crowes turns 51 on Sunday, May 24th.

To celebrate, we look back at an intimate, acoustic concert outside Boston, right before the COVID-19 pandemic, featuring Rich and his older brother Chris Robinson going under the name “Brothers of a Feather.”

 

Brothers of a Feather

An Acoustic Evening featuring Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes

Brothers of a Feather Tour 2020

Wednesday February 19, 2020

Brighton Music Hall – Allston, MA

 

About The Tour:

Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson announced a string of acoustic shows ahead of their Black Crowes reunion tour, which was originally scheduled to happen in the summer 2020 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, “Shake Your Money Maker.”

Together the siblings went as “Brothers of a Feather” and played a brief one-month tour in small iconic clubs.

After a pair of performances in London and Amsterdam, respectively, Chris and Rich headed to the United States to kick off the North American portion of the tour. The first gig in the states was held at Brighton Music Hall, located just outside of Boston. The crowd of 500 or so, which included celebrities like Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band and invited guests, enjoyed a 13-song, 90-minute set that featured Black Crowes classics and a Little Feat cover to close the show.

Below is the setlist from the Brothers of a Feather performance at Brighton Music Hall on February 19, 2020.

In the later Dumb Ass News, AJ’s sound bytes come in handy when talking about a streaker. (52:19)

Comedian Paul Mecurio called in from NYC to talk about how strange and terrifying things were during the beginning of the pandemic, and how he’s most looking forward to arguing with people in public again. (57:14)

COVID-19 isn’t stopping The Rolling Stones. Though their summer stadium tour has been put on hold, The Stones are banging out new material, including their brand new single, “Living In A Ghost Town,” which you can listen to here.

About The Tour:

In 2019, The Rolling Stones announced its next leg of the “No Filter” Tour that would play 17-dates at stadiums across North America. Soon after the announcement, it was revealed that Mick Jagger would need to receive medical treatment to replace a valve in his heart. This forced The Stones to postponed the tour.

After a speedy recovery by Mick, The Stones announced the tour would resume on June 21, 2019 at Chicago’s Soldier Field. The show at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, originally scheduled for June 8th, would happen on Sunday July 7, 2019 with special guest Gary Clark Jr. The sold out crowd of 50,000 people rocked out to a two-hour Stones show that featured 20 songs, including a song voted by the fans (She’s So Cold), a short acoustic set, two songs sung by Keith Richards and enough pyrotechnics to light up the Massachusetts sky.

So what’s Sully doing now? Every Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm, the Godsmack frontman broadcasts his very own YouTube show called “Hometown Sessions.” This bi-weekly show can be viewed at www.youtube.com/SullyErna.

While we wait for Godsmack to tour again, today we look back at when they played an acoustic show at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre in 2004.

In 2004 Godsmack spent its summer on tour with Metallica. By the time September rolled around, Godsmack focused its attention on headlining their very own acoustic tour in support of its EP entitled “The Other Side.” The EP was released in March 2004 and it included three brand new acoustic tracks plus a selection of previously released Godsmack songs that were re-recorded as acoustic versions.

The Godsmack acoustic tour kicked off on September 9, 2004 in Colorado Springs. Joining them on the tour was Dropbox frontman John Kosco and guitarist Lee Richards, who made guest appearances with Godsmack on the song “Touche.”

Tuesday, May 19: Mayor Mark Boughton’s Viral Video, The Mansfield Drive-In, Barbers and Hair Stylists Argue About Opening

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton was on with Chaz and AJ to talk about his viral video, which was a satirical spin on “Tiger King” Joe Exotic’s music video. He did it all to raise money to feed people. (0:00)

As businesses begin reopening tomorrow, the Mansfield drive-in theater is prepared with a triple feature. Chaz and AJ asked Elena about the selections, how social distancing will work, and how you can still order snacks. (8:35)

Jessie the hair stylist is not comfortable opening up salons just yet, but is still upset with Governor Lamont’s decision to move the re-opening date. They’ve spent money to be ready to open, and how even the salons that don’t feel safe will have to open, or lose customers. (19:37)

Dino the barber is on the other side of the argument as Jessie, and wants to have his business open up tomorrow. Dino admitted that it feels impossible to bring new clients in with the restrictions that have been put in place for the reopening of salons. Then, Sarah from St. Vincent’s defended the governor’s decision, based on cases still coming into the hospital and asked everyone rushing to re-open to continue to be safe with social distancing and wearing masks.
