Well I don't want to rag on the guy too much, so I'll start by saying that overall, I thought Rich and band played a pretty good set, especially for the second show of a tour with a new band, even if Rich isn't nearly as great of a singer as his big brother. Or as engaging of a stage presence. Or as inspired a song-smith. But whacking on the guy any more just seems a bit mean.

I'm glad he was on today's lineup, I'm glad I got to hear him, and I'm glad that the crowd wasn't any more disrespectful than they were.

So will I see him again? Sure! Next time the Crowes come around…
