The fallout from The Black Crowes’ onstage political dust-up on Sunday didn’t stop with boos. It spilled into the aisles.
In video obtained from the Tampa show. fans are seen popping up from their seats and streaming out of the venue as frontman Chris Robinson’s controversial comments landed. The clip captures a steady flow toward the aisles while other attendees remain seated. the music continuing as sections around them empty out.
Several areas appear noticeably in motion as attendees make their way toward the exits, no longer interested in sticking around after the tense exchange. Even with the concert still going, enough people moved to make it clear the moment wasn’t accepted by everyone in the room.
The spark. according to what was previously reported. came after a screen allegedly showed the band’s “Black Crowe” character dressed as Uncle Sam. prompting “U.S.A.” chants from parts of the crowd. Robinson then replied by saying. “Thanks for the geography lesson” before doubling down with. “I don’t know what you have to be so proud of right now.”.
While plenty of fans stayed in their seats. the number of people leaving mid-show underlined that Robinson’s remarks didn’t land well with a sizeable portion of the audience. The Black Crowes remain in the middle of their tour. but the controversy stirred by Robinson’s comments may end up receiving more attention than the songs played that night.
Waiting for fans’ reactions to fade is one thing. Watching the exits keep filling while the show goes on is another.
