IMO, one of Van Morrison's best performances. The Band backing him. ...and of course, the 800 Pound Gorilla in the room, Dylan. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

So many great songs, but I think Van the Man steals the show. His “kick off” is just such a great moment. I’ll watch it every once in a while to feel the joy. | |||

About a decade before me but that is some great music. I’d have to say I really dig that first song. Sent this off to my friend who is two decades behind this but he cherishes real music and is always talking about real musicians. We actually got started off tonight by me talking about the Bob Dylan Times Are a Chanin’ thread, another great fuckin song. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

I saw The Band on their last tour in 1999. Got 4 tickets, took my wife, her best friend and husband. I was the only one who thought it was something special. I bet my wife doesn't even remember it. Had great seats, a little towards the left, about 10 rows back. Empty seats in front of me, so I moved up a row for a while. People next to me looked at me like I was crazy. Maybe they had tickets for the empty seats and were miffed even though they weren't using them. | |||

I saw The Band open for Crosby Stills and Nash in 1985. Outdoors on the waterfront in Rhode Island. One of the best concerts I ever attended. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

I saw The Band and Bob Dylan’s Reunion Tour, following the recording of Planet Waves, which The Band recorded with him. I’ve seen so many great shows that it’s hard to know where to place that concert, but it’s at least top 5 and could well be top 3. Just a tremendous show. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

That entire concert was excellent in so many ways. Sad they are gone but they gave use great music we will never forget.

I have watched it, many times. A good sound system is required. I can't watch it on a tinny TV speaker. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Don’t forget Robertson was behind the soundtracks of most of the Scorcese movies you loved. | |||

I'm not laughing WITH you |
The version of "The Night they drove old Dixie Down" was the BEST EVER on "The Last Waltz". The expanded entry with the horns and bass (tuba) really took you back. https://youtu.be/x35l1IxU9dg This version also has Joni Mitchell singing background off-stage. Also, if you look closely, Neil Young has cocaine around his nose. Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia.

I watch the video about once a year. I was fortunate enough to see them several times over the years and I went to one of the rambles at Levons once. My favorite band. Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies. Gene Hill | |||
