Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes brought the Rolling Stones guitarist out on stage relatively early in the set, announcing to the audience they were about to be joined by a man who "doesn't need an introduction but he's going to get one."
The Black Crowes kicked off their 2024 tour earlier this month at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, which included a cover of the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat" for their encore. They'll be on the road until early June, promoting the recently released Happiness Bastards, their first album in over a decade.
"Chris and I were stuck in this submarine for 24 years — and that's what being in a band is like," Rich Robinson told Howard Stern in March, referencing the fact that he and his brother Chris' relationship has not always been easy and led to periods of estrangement. "And then you get away, and you can have more of a 10,000-foot view of what just happened."
"It was like a kettle someone left on in a kitchen," Chris added, "and I'm like, 'Someone please turn the heat down.' We needed that break."
