You really need to tape this album using either Type I High Ferric (no noise redxn) at max recording level, or low bias R2R to get fuller richness and thus fuller impact from the glorious music on this album!!

I'm glad the is album is up for younger people to listen to. This album's music, even more than early Dylan, carries the mark white authenticity like hardly anything else - Tears of Rage strikes me exactly as it did when it came out - the song observes that the youth even then - in '69 - was going astray and becoming the IPhone people, with no care for their roots. The whole album just resonates.
I don't judge you as a person but these types of comments are a pet peeve of mine. It's not that we have no care for our roots. Billie Eilish is known to be a HUGE fan of The Beatles and other music like this. To say that kind of means your generation had no care for their roots (Stuff like Sinatra, and Doris Day). It's not like just because it's old, no "young people" will like it. We love this stuff. Trust me, I know. Thoughts like these are similar to the thoughts your parents had about your generation. Here's a quote made by someone who's most likely your age now talking about The Beatles in the 60s. "The Beatles ought to go back where they came from" "Where, to Liverpool" "No, under a rock." In other words, you're saying the exact same things they said, and it's a bit hypocritical. Maybe I'm wrong, but y'know. That's just my perspective. (Btw, you're right. Tears of Rage is one heck of album opener.)
Help me out here. What is "the mark of white authenticity?" There is certainly a Baptist revival thing here and there. Is it more European Alps like festival stuff or is it music not by Rag Time, Blues or Jazz? I know that the Irish by heritage have outstanding melancholia expression in some of there soft folk stuff, for example. Because I"ve loved The Band since I first heard them in 69 and see it at that time as unique any take you have like "white authenticity" leaves me hanging. Help a brother out, please.
I can understand people not liking the Beatles style but to claim Sgt Peppers sounds 'amateurish' is laughable. It sounds fresh, unique & polished even now.
It's nice that you attempt to raise this album up, but why put down one of the greatest albums of all time in the process? You might not like Sgt. Pepper's, but to call it amateurish is laughable. Furthermore, if you really want to get a point across, you may want to learn how to spell and use apostrophes.
BIG PINK! it was rumored in those days that if THE BAND kept the name BIG PINK, it would get confused with PINK FLOYD who formed in 1965. Pink Floyd was popular in England but almost unheard of in the united state's until 1973 when dark side of the moon was released. The earlier albums were on the shelves but weren't selling because a.m. rock and roll radio wasn't playing them in most u.s. media markets. Didn't take long for f.m. radio was shot to hell. HERE'S TO PIRATE RADIO!
Siempre conmigo. Maravilloso disco. Cuanto talento junto.

This is the one. Heart and soul. Total catharsis. Thank you all.

14:51 : The first song I’ve ever heard from them.
With all that is going on in the U.S. today I am glad to find "my" music still out there. Must add I know exactly where Big Pink was.
Just made a pilgrimage there yesterday!
I was there !!! lived near bye....saw alot...heard even more....
In A Station is as deep as the ocean
Only two comments? This was the Bands best album and my favorite rock album of all time. This makes Sgt Pepper sound amateurish.

to be fair, this came after Sgt Pepper. It's like saying a car from the 50s performs amateurish compared to a Tesla.
Посредственный , скучный альбом . Максимум - 3 (5).
Only Joan Baez should sing This! I call bull shit on the band. Even my beloved Nick Cave F' d up this song.
