The Black Crowes cancel Street Scene appearance, now what?
Talk about a worst case scenario. Citing an illness to a member of the band, The Black Crowes has canceled four upcoming dates, including their September 20th headlining performance at Street Scene.
“Despite our efforts, it is not possible to reschedule the canceled shows at this time. However, efforts are being made to reschedule these markets in early 2009. … We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may cause our fans, are greatly appreciative of your understanding and look forward to seeing you soon.”
Sure we complained about some of the schedule’s conflicts a few weeks back, but no one could have wanted this is kind of disastrous blow to what was a superb lineup for the 24th annual, San Diego based music festival.
So now what? Street Scene producer Rob Hagey is reportedly furiously attempting to fill the vacant spot and “has already approached several other national artists,” though as of now, nothing appears set in stone. In the meantime, let the speculation begin. We’ll keep you updated.

Devo has been named the new headliner for Saturday.
The worst concert I have ever been to, they need to pack it up and sell
hot dogs somewhere (They suck)
I was absolutely disappointing in this show.
I’ve had tickets for months and am a die hard black crowes fan.
They have one of the best albums ever (shake your money maker)
I went there assuming they would play some songs on their new album and
knowing they would intermix their older classic awesome tunes. I sat
through 9 songs and they did not play a single tune from any of their
older albums. The album that made them who they are today. They
sucked, it was like a gospel music fest. There new album is slow and
gospel like.
I recently saw AC /DC, they too have a new album, but they are not
arrogant enough to just play new songs, they mixed it up and kept the
crowd involved.
Three songs into the Black Crowes concert, 90 percent of the people sat
down and were shaking their heads waiting for the same thing I was.
I watched crowds of people leave early, including myself.
I gave it the 10 song limit, then left as well.
Don’t waste your time and money.
NO WONDER KATE HUDSON LEFT HIM
