On April 2, 2025, rock fans were treated to a rare and powerful reunion as The Black Crowes joined forces once again with legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic 1999 live performances. The event, held in London, wasn’t just a trip down memory lane—it was a roaring celebration of blues-driven rock at its rawest and most authentic.

The collaboration between The Black Crowes and Jimmy Page first came to life in the late ’90s, when the Crowes were riding a creative high and Page was looking to breathe new life into Zeppelin’s classic catalog. Their live sets from 1999, famously recorded at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, resulted in the critically acclaimed album Live at the Greek, a raw and electric fusion of Zeppelin classics, blues standards, and Crowes originals.

Now, a quarter-century later, Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson stood side by side with Jimmy Page once more, reigniting the chemistry that made their initial collaboration so memorable. The trio appeared together at a press event and exclusive listening session for a newly remastered edition of Live at the Greek, which includes unreleased tracks, behind-the-scenes footage, and expanded liner notes detailing the unique musical partnership.

“This music still feels alive,” said Jimmy Page, now 81, as he addressed a crowd of journalists and fans. “Playing with the Crowes back then was like striking a match—it lit up fast and burned bright. Revisiting it now reminds me why I love the stage.”

Chris Robinson echoed the sentiment. “Jimmy brought a level of depth and soul to the stage that pushed us to be better every night. That tour was about passion, power, and paying respect to the roots of rock and blues.”

Although no formal tour was announced, both parties hinted at future one-off shows or recordings. Fans and critics alike are hopeful that the rekindled connection could yield more than just nostalgia.

As vinyl spins again and live music thrives, the timing couldn’t be better for this legendary reunion. Whether it’s a full return or a limited encore, the enduring magic of The Black Crowes and Jimmy Page reminds us why rock ‘n’ roll is timeless—loud, honest, and forever rebellious.
