Live Review + Gallery: Chris Robinson Brotherhood at Thalia Hall in Chicago, IL. 01.25.19

The Chris Robinson Brotherhood can rest assured that every one of their fans who came out to their 2019 tour opener on January 25^that Chicago’s Thalia Hall is of the hardcore variety, given the sub-zero temperatures they braved to be there. And while the wisdom of starting a tour in January in Chicago is debatable, the wisdom of catching a CRB show is not…especially if you are a fan of dreamy, adventurous, jam rock with a southern twist, topped off with Chris Robinson’s trademark vocals.

            Those in attendance on the 25^th, the first of two Chicago shows, were treated to a healthy dose of the CRB gospel, delivered in two sets spanning 17 songs (see setlist below) consisting of originals, as well as covers from The Rolling Stones, The Coasters, and Leadbelly.

The group (Robinson – vocals/guitar, Neal Casal – guitar/vocals, Adam MacDougall – keyboards/vocals, Tony Leone – drums, Jeff Hill – bass/vocals) stretched out their song selections with solid, extended jamming and easygoing vibes that helped patrons get funky and forget about the cold for a couple of hours.

            CRB’s winter tour lasts through February, and those tour dates as well as others are here: https://chrisrobinsonbrotherhood.com/tour-dates/
