Yes, you are right. I have loved The Band since I first heard "Up on Cripple Creek" in the late sixties. Last summer I started to read Robbie's book Testimony, was almost done when the sad news came that he had died. I also started to listen to some of there songs I had forgotten about, and with the videos on Utube, I became very interested in Rick, his soulful voice,, his endearing personality, good looks and charisma. I then bought Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band, and also which is more of a picture book, but still have a lot of information "The Story of The Band" From Big Pink to The Last Waltz. Also read recently Joe Forno Jr.s book "Levon's Man. He was a Woodstock native and managed The Band (sans Robbie) from mid eighties to 1994. All have some valueable information, so for anyone interested there is enough to dig into. Have not read Levon's book, althouth I love his singing and drumming his bitterness towards Robbie is a turn off. Forno's book gives a good insight to Levon's personality. Much to like about Levon, but he had some personality issues.
Their music was. When the were ready to tour after I think the brown album, Rick had a near fatal car accident, he was in the hospital for weeks, and after that needed time to recover fully. He had broken his neck and back in several places. They were at Woodstock, Watkins Glen, Wembley and other avenues.
The Band has a mass of amazing songs!!! They will continue to blow your mind over and over!!! Enjoy the Ride! "Ophelia" ua-cam.com/video/xe7y7ByOrwQ/v-deo.htmlsi=5K-E57aKEKi8sDbO
Would love to see you react the band Grand Funk Railroad. Preferably Inside looking out live. One of the best live performances by a band IMO. Glad i found your channel good vibes and good content!!!!
Nothing like the Band in their prime...
One of my favorites, and by far my favorite iteration of this song. The horns just send it over.
The Band in my top 10 bands..hell yeah let’s riiiide! ❤
Sometimes the single performance of a song defines it from that point on. This was about capturing a moment in music history.
The Band. So much to know about every one of these amazing people.

Real Music
One of my all time favourite songs. Most people don’t know that this was the last song The Band ever played.
Hell yeah i was JUST listening to this song and your reaction came through!! Let’s ride! ❤
Mine too, but "The Who" version is great as well.
A real one of a kind legend of a band.
The band was never fucking around
Nope!

I was at this concert and it was even more incredible in person.
I’ve said this to someone more than once. ‘My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know’.
Life is a Carnival as well
