The Black Crowes, consisting of Chris Robinson, Rich Robinson, Sven Pipien on bass, Isaiah Mitchell on lead guitar, Brian Griffin on drums, and Joel Robinow on keys opened the set with "Twice as Hard" and continued to rip through their first album in it's entirety, playing each song true to it's original recording.

Following the "Shake Your Money Maker" set, the band navigated through gems from various albums mainly focused on "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" album. For the fans of the 'jam band' version of the Black Crowes the highlight of the evening was "Thorn In My Pride" as Rich Robison and Isaiah Mitchell traded leads throughout an extended version of the tune.
