1999:
Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes played two nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. While the set-lists included songs from both, the double CD released didn't include any of The Black Crowes' material due to contractual constraints. No loss, far as I'm concerned. Jimmy Page's contribution to the partnership was more valuable to the band than their musical contribution was to him. He raised them up, not the other way around. Don't get me wrong - The Black Crowes put out some good music - Jimmy Page wouldn't have toured and recorded with them otherwise - but they were reaching hard to keep up.
Still, you can hear that Jimmy Page was having fun. That's worth a lot right there.
The double CD was released by TVT Records nearly a year later, with a different track order than the concert setlist. It included a bonus extra song, a video, and still shots of the Greek Theatre performances. A Japanese version of the album includes Misty Mountain Hop and In the Light, recorded in 2000.
