The Black Crowes Wes Orshoski

THE BLACK CROWES
TUESDAY 8/23. First Security Amphitheater. 7:30 p.m. $55-$247.

If you’re a band that gets big and has a long career, there’s going to be tumult and ego clashes and missteps, so it’s always heartening to see a group like The Black Crowes, more than 30 years after they formed, not only sticking together — or more accurately, coming back together — but also willing to fully live in the past. The Crowes are embracing a welcome, somewhat modern trend: touring musicians playing one of their seminal albums in full in concert. I saw Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame doing “Smile” in full several years back, and it was glorious. Here, the Atlanta-born rockers will play all of “Shake Your Moneymaker,” the band’s hit-filled 1990 debut record — along with “all the hits” from Crowes’ subsequent career.
