On April 16th, legendary rock band The Black Crowes brought their ‘Happiness Bastards Tour’ to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC, in support of their latest album Happiness Bastards, their first studio album since 2009.

21-year-old rocker Billy Tibballs opened the night with tracks from his debut album Stay Tennage. His energy on stage was contagious and warmed up the crowd perfectly for the main act.

Around 9pm, The Black Crowes appeared on stage and kicked things into high gear right away. They started the show with “Bedside Manners”, the opening track of Happiness Bastards. Frontman Chris Robinson commanded the stage as he moved all over the stage, while his brother Rich enjoyed his time on side of the stage delivering incredible guitar solos.

The Black Crowes has made sure to entertain their fans on this tour by performing a different setlist every night. Yesterday, the audience got treated to the classic hits like “Hard To Handle” “She Talks To Angels”, new songs from Happiness Bastards like “Wanting And Waiting” and “Wilted Rose”, as well as a few surprise tracks like “She Gave Good Sunflower” and “Paint an 8”.

For the encore, the band played “God’s Got It”, a Reverend Charlie Jackson’s cover. The band put on an amazing show for an hour and half. It was great to see the Robinson Brothers having fun and getting along.

You can still catch a Black Crowes show before they end their North American run in Philadelphia on May 7 at The Met Philadelphia, before flying to Europe. All the info is on the band’s website.
