"I puked up every where. Everyone thought it was marvellous rock 'n' roll behaviour." The night The Black Crowes got their pal Noel Gallagher from Oasis so wasted that he passed out in a toilet cubicle and had to be carried out of the building

In May 2001, Oasis embarked on a rather unique co-headlining American tour with The Black Crowes, and special guests Spacehog, a New York-based alt.rock band, composed of four ex-pats from Leeds, and best known for the fact that their frontman used to be married to American actress Liv 'Daughter of Steven' Tyler.

The Tour of Brotherly Love took its name, and inspiration, from the fact that each band featured two brothers: Chris and Rich Robinson (The Black Crowes), Royston and Antony Langdon (Spacehog), and of course, Liam and Noel Gallagher (Oasis). And while on paper this line-up may have seemed like a recipe for disaster, given the frequency with which sibling rivalry between the Gallagher brothers and the Robinson brothers was known to escalate into full-blown scraps, everyone got along famously, with Noel Gallagher often joining The Black Crowes onstage to jam on covers of classic songs by Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie.
