CROWE LET IT OUT!

The Oasis guitarist joins the Crowes at a low-key London date...

THE BLACK CROWES were joined onstage by OASIS' NOEL GALLAGHER, as they unveiled songs from their forthcoming new album 'LIONS' at a star-studded industry gig in LONDON last night (April 9).

Noel took to the stage towards the end of the set to play guitar on a cover of the old Fleetwood Mac song 'Oh Well, Pt 1'. His brother Liam was also at the show, wearing a white fur coat and accompanied by his All Saints girlfriend Nicole Appleton.
Other celebrities in attendance included the Prodigy's Keith Flint, movie star Kyle MacLachlan, TV presenter Cat Deeley, model Jodie Kidd and, it was rumoured, Rod Stewart.

The Black Crowes' set was a relatively tame affair, peppered with drawn-out guitar duelling, but at one point frontman Chris Robinson berated a member of the crowd who complained that he couldn't hear Rich Robinson's backing vocals - the singer told the fan that he should be grateful that he got into the concert for free.

The set list was:
'Midnight From The Inside Out'
'Lickin''
'Greasy Grass River'
'Ballad In Urgency'
'Wiser Time'
'Soul Singing'
'Cosmic Friend'
'Virtue And Vice'
'Oh Well Pt1' (with Noel Gallagher)
'Young Man Old Man'

The Black Crowes' new album 'Lions' will be released on May 7, shortly before the group begin their 'Brotherly Love' tour with Oasis on May 11 in Las Vegas. The band are expected to announce a UK tour shortly.
