“Last Waltz” is an incredible film...
To: Reaganite Republican
Good stuff.
I have their “last” multi CD album recorded live and it's a ‘beaut.

One of my favorite bands of all-time. Good music and good times, I associate with this group. Robbie was the spoiled brat of the bunch, but we all have some faults. Rock on! Thanks for posting.

Deep Purple

My pleasure
I love these guys, and with Dylan they really clicked too, imho- like “When I Paint my Masterpiece”... fantastic

One of the truly great and inspirational rock groups to spring from the 70s.
Excellent lyrics, orchestration and arrangement of tunes that helped shape my life and point of view.
From the humorous, honky-tonk flavored Rag, Mama, Rag, Up On Cripple Creek, Across The Great Divide and Ophelia. To pitch perfect, Evangeline, The Weight and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Which ain't the same without the Coronet intro. The Band had it all and had it RIGHT!
Jack.

The Band is one of the reasons the Sixties wasn’t all bad.

Exactly Jack... they and the Byrds invented Country Rock from what I can see... The Eagles surely owe them

“Last Waltz” is an incredible film... There was a scene in the movie where "The Band" is posing in front of a Confederate flag. Imagine oh so p.c. Robbie Robertson striking the same pose today ...

Rick Danko and Richard Manuel are dead. Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson and Levon Helm are still kicking.

Great band, I listen to one or two of their songs every day, on my 60’s mix CDs.

They do wear well, I’ve been listening to them for 30 yrs myself- real quality band in every way
To: Reaganite Republican
Dylan saw and recruited Levi Helms at TONY MART in Somers Point, NJ in 1965 . The rest is history .
