1976, no Internet, only little TV, not much on radio. We knew our music-heroes only through recommendations from friends and could listen to the music via vinyl or recordings. Either we were lucky to see the bands on stage, then we could see, how they actually looked like, or we knew them by photograph in pop-journals. Today, I am watching all the bands from my youth here on KZfaq. The 'Band' now, I see the first time, but I still remember the vinyl-cover. Innocent times it was, somehow, but to see a concert, we would travel with no money and took all difficulties.

Only Rick could sing "it makes no difference". and "Stage Freight", only Levon could do justice to "Up on Cripple Creek" and Dixie, and "The Shape I'm in was perfect for Richard". Then there's Garth playing, Robbie' s songwriting and guitar playing, each were unique and help making The Band as great as it was.

Richard Manuel was very professional when they started, had a great voice but his throat became hoarse after months of abuse and bad sleep, he just could not reach the high notes nor his unique falsetto and sounded painful. Sad 'cause he couldn't perform properly even with the help of a glass close to him (we can feel it in "Tears of Rage", even Robbie smiles), in The Last Waltz he didn't remember to be filmed talking to the camera. The only remedy in those days were AA or more drugs to "detox". Seems he fought against his insecurity and fragil state of health, but we know how hard it was and the end a decade later. God bless him.

In 1965, Lavon "Levon" Helm, a Mississippi Delta native son, with Canadians Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson were diggin' deeper into the roots of the Rock 'n Roll they'd been playing for years as the Canada-based Hawks backing Ronnie Hawkins. Parting ways amicably with Hawkins, The Hawks jumped on a mighty launching pad, backing John Hammond on "So Many Roads", a pure Blues album. A reason they'd left Hawkins was their passion for experimenting with variations of roots-rock, and after they cut their Blues album with John Hammond, their searching creativity soared into a synergy beyond words. Over time, they became icons of integrity, "Integrity" as it's truly meant... such goodness of fit amongst the musicians that the art is far beyond a predictable sum of each brilliant musician's contribution. There was not a star nor frontman in the bunch. No wonder they came to be called "The Band". Proudly Canadian with important Delta connections, they wrote he anthem "The Day They Drove Old Dixie Down". Perhaps their greatest contribution is that The Band was seminal to the genre we now call "Americana". -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

I love the way they walk on, start to tune up. and then Levon kicks it off and says "Let's go." I hate to sound like a dismissive elder, but today's concertgoers will never experience that organic confluence between band and audience again. Listen to the "ooooohs" from the crowd when Levi takes the end of the first verse alone. Then they all stop early, and decide to hit "My biggest mistake was loving you too much..." and they leave every other band in their wake. That's why the audience goes crazy. I feel so very lucky to have been in these audiences. Thanks for letting me go, mom.

You are right in calling me out on that, and I thank you for the polite and gentle slap-down, as I detest ageism as much as any other form of prejudice.

What makes the difference is the amount of years of "paying dues" getting to a very high level of musicianship before, during and after Dylan went electric and changed everything. Everything was brand new then. The songs were stunningly clear. Very few bands have that amazing pedigree. So, someone who was there "with them" has the same level of experience. There are truly golden eras that other bands can't possibly experience. Louis Armstrong paid serious dues The Band could NEVER experience, yet The Band can rest on their laurels easily. Experience counts and makes that "blow the roof off" audience experience much more meaningful and valid. Plus, listening to this as an 'Experienced" several decades fan makes for a richer listen; it just gets better every time. We were lucky to be there.

When I see this, and any other things by The Band on here, I'm clearly reminded of when (age 14 with Big Pink) and why I loved this group so much. Tried to get lottery tickets for the '74 tour with Dylan (struck out); missed them in Sept. '74 in Cleveland (had just started college at Ohio State that month), but in Robbie's book he said the Cleveland show was a bust because Richard was unable to perform. I never got to see them with Robbie - one of my great regrets. But I saw them in March '86 three weeks before Richard took his life. So I did get to see them one time with all three of these great vocalists. And I saw Rick once solo, and saw Rick and Levon in the first version of Ringo's All Starr Band in '89. Also saw Levon and band open for The Dead once. RIP Levon, Rick and Richard. These five guys left a legacy that is unequalled in north American music. Coincidence that they were a viable band for almost the same period that The Beatles were? Hmmmm....

Very few voices in R&R history were as distinctive, and good, as Levon's!! Miss him.

One of my most memorable Concerts was seeing Bob Dylan and The Band at Radio City Music Hall. First The Band came out and played an entire Concert without Dylan and then Dylan came out and they played a full Concert with him. What an epic show at the most amazingly “tuned” Venue possibly in the World?

@Jahn No problem… I saw Rick in performance in Cleveland about 10 days prior to his death; I was shocked that he died but not at all surprised, as he looked so grossly-overweight, rather gray-skinned, and perspired profusely… That said, he was nevertheless a compelling showman-extraordinaire until the very end… To offset the sadness of his early-demise, I’ll always have wonderful memories of after the show being invited into his Winnebago parked on the street outside the venue to chat, hang-out, and have a bunch of items signed…
