No Stairway

If you’re a guitar player in a band imagine the opportunity to play with Jimmy page.  it happened to the Black Crowes.  the got an album out of it too; [Jimmy Page with The Black Crowes Live at the Greek.  Although Led Zeppelin never released “Ten Years Gone” as a single, it was one of the featured cuts on Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes’ 1999 Live at the Greek album. Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson credits drummer Steve Gorman with helping to get it into their repertoire for that tour.

 

“Jimmy was like, ‘You guys choose which songs you want.’ It wasn’t like, ‘We’re gonna go for “Stairway to Heaven.”‘ Y’know, it wasn’t any of that. He was like, ‘What songs do you want to do?’ and, like, ‘We want to do some stuff that maybe wasn’t played that often — “Ten Years Gone,” “Sick Again,” “Custard Pie,”‘ ’cause Physical Graffiti was one of my favorites. Just to learn those songs and pick them apart and when that band kicks in on [sings riff]. And [drummer] Steve [Gorman] was killing it. That was something that he wanted to do and I think he really accomplished it.”
