Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson are in the midst of touring an unplugged version of The Black Crowes across the U.S. under the banner “Brothers of a Feather.”

However, as their Feb. 21 gig in Philadelphia proved, the intimate setting is ripe for chatty audience members, and it didn’t take long for Chris to express his frustration.

“It would be nice if we could hear ourselves. So if you could just shut the fuck up a little bit,” the vocalist said, near the top of the show, before launching into “Wiser Time.” “But that’s cool because what are we here every fucking week doing this shit? It’s impossible. It’s impossible sometimes to make music when all you hear is that [gestures to audience member]. We’re not gonna be up here for that long, so if you could show us a little respect. We’re happy to see you. It’s a waste of our time to have to stop to ask other people to be polite while we’re performing.”

Later, before “Oh Josephine,” Chris remained irritated.

“We apologize! We apologize! We are so sorry! We love you!” a man can be heard yelling from the crowd.

Chris replied, “I get it. We’re happy to be here, but it’s not any fun if we can’t get into it… You’re fucking grown adults and you paid your money. You should fuckin’ pay attention. It’s one guy with a guitar and one person singing. And again, the vibes are so good and everyone’s happy but we have to stop because we can’t hear ourselves. Seriously, man. Get it fucking together. Or we can just play ‘She Talks to Angels’ and fuck off. Which would be very punk rock.”
