Southern rock legends The Black Crowes appeared on the Howard Stern Show this week to promote their new album Happiness Bastards, and revealed that a box set version of their 2000 album Live at the Greek: Excess All Areas, recorded with Led Zeppelin legend Jimmy Page, will be released next year to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The album was originally recorded at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles over two nights in October 1999.
Most notably, the release will include material left off the original release, when contractual problems meant that the Black Crowes' own songs – versions of Remedy, Wiser Time and No Speak, No Slave and, as well as their cover of Otis Redding's Hard To Handle – were not considered for inclusion.
