      excellent point. On a similar point, I once went to a Hank Williams Sr memorial concert (Hank Night, Birmingham 2019). The musicians played at least 20 songs and I knew all of them, the best I can remember. But I didn't know this song by Chuck Berry. And The Band didn't quite have the Chuck Berry sound but they made it their own successfully

    wow, that was great. And I didn't even know that Chuck Berry song. Levon and the band, going back to their roots. Though it's way too late for a do over, its clear by this version of The Band that the original quintet retired too soon. Wish they could've done the annual days-long residencies at selected, top-notch performance halls like the Allman Brothers did at the Beacon.

    I've been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living
    Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving
    I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama
    The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
    No brotherly love, no help, no danger
    Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers
    I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
    But today my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
    Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
    You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
    You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to
    And I born you and raised you right here on the corner
    I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station
    I've got just enough money to pay my transportation
    I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
    If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas
    Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning
    I know everything will be all right in the morning

      James Lumpkin I agree, maybe I wouldn't be quite so hateful towards Robertson, but I do think it was a cruddy thing he did. He seems to have had a huge ego and had it stroked by Scorsese etc. These four guys and the musicians they worked with made some wonderful music after Robbie left them. I'm not decrying Robbie as a musician - the five guys together created alchemy, but on his own I find him a tad bland whereas The Band stayed rootsy.

      Robbie didn't make The Band. He was as important part as the others, but The Band was just a little different in the 80s and 90s. "It makes no difference, when Robbie's gone... The Band never seems to fade away."
