Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live at the Greek is being reissued in an expanded edition for its 25th anniversary. The concerts, recorded in October 1999 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and that August at Long Island, New York’s Jones Beach, was originally issued in February 2000 as a double album, featuring powerful renditions of Led Zeppelin classics and The Black Crowes’ staple blues-rock jams. The new edition, with 16 previously unreleased tracks among its now-36 songs, arrives March 14, 2025, on 3-CDs (in a six-panel digipak with a foldout poster) and a 2-LP “Best Of” edition via The Orchard. The 3-CD or 2-LP editions are available for pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here. A 6-LP box set (on 180-gram black vinyl with individual sleeves, a foldout poster, and a removable top box) is available for pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here.
The announcement arrived one day after The Black Crowes were nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.
The new edition was produced, mixed, and remastered by Kevin Shirley and includes exclusive
behind-the-scenes photos, video, and much more. On the day of the February 13 announcement, a two-track single has been released. “No Speak No Slave,” a Black Crowes’ fan favorite delivers a roaring performance by Page. The song is accompanied by a new music video featuring never-before-seen footage of the performance.
The second song, never before released, is “Bring It On Home,” the blues classic that was famously reinterpreted by Led Zeppelin on their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II and reimagined again live in 1999. This performance features Page’s iconic guitar, the soulful energy of Rich Robinson and the gritty vocals of Chris Robinson.
In the announcement, Page said, “The new mixes capture the collaboration of those historic encounters and provide the full explosive passion and exciting energy of those alchemical moments.”
Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson said, “The new box set brings the whole experience of our work with Jimmy into a vibrant, electric, mystical and powerful perspective. Hail, hail rock ‘n roll!”
Rich Robinson added, “Going through the shows and putting together the set has been such an incredible dive back to that time in our history. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill to play these amazing iconic songs with the man who composed them. The sound of the new mixes and extra songs blew me away when I first heard them.”
The new, remastered editions capture the raw interplay between guitar virtuosos Page, Audley Freed, and Rich Robinson, complemented by Chris Robinson’s soulful vocal delivery. Standout moment includes Page’s masterful use of his signature B-bender guitar on The Black Crowes’ chart-topping hit, “She Talks to Angels,” adding a unique country-rock twang to the timeless classic rock ballad. Also included in the 2-LP “Best Of” Edition, a never-before-released song Rich Robinson and Jimmy Page wrote while jamming during a soundcheck. The track aptly titled “Jams” is a true rarity.
