The newly unearthed live recording of the iconic rock band’s 1969 track highlights Page and The Black Crowes musical chemistry, transforming the song into an edgier version of the bluesy track from Led Zeppelin’s second studio album. Their rendition of the song was originally recorded during a soundcheck back in 2000.
‘The Lemon Song’ marks one of the various unreleased songs that will be featured in the forthcoming expanded reissue edition of Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes 1999 collab album ‘Live At The Greek’. The reissue is set for release on March 14 via The Orchard and is available for pre-order here.
Recorded during unforgettable nights of rock and roll in October 1999 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Jones Beach in August 1999, ‘Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes: Live At The Greek’ sees the legendary guitarist and The Black Crowes transform tracks from Led Zeppelin’s catalogue with their powerful renditions.
Produced, mixed, and remastered by Kevin Shirley, the 36-track anniversary album features 16 previously unreleased songs as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes photos, video and more.
Speaking about the reissue in a press release, Jimmy Page said: “I’m really looking forward to the soon to be available release of Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes material from concerts in 1999. The new mixes capture the collaboration of those historic encounters and provide the full explosive passion and exciting energy of those alchemical moments.”
The Black Crowes’ frontman Chris Robinson also shared: “The new Live at the Greek box set brings the whole experience of our work with Jimmy into a vibrant, electric, mystical and powerful perspective. Hail, hail rock ‘n roll!” while the band’s guitarist Rich Robinson added: “Going through the shows and putting together the new box 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.”
