Greetings, folks..... there are a few issues to deal with at Thanksgiving,,,,
Back in 1976 for those that remember back to 1976,,,,, hummm,, where were you..???
Anyway .. there was a Concert at the Winterland Ball room in San Francisco on Thanksgiving night , November 25th.... It was the Bands last Concert,, and although some of the members played together after that, and Levon, and Garth still do,,,,, they NEVER all played together again,,,,
now the Band was ,,, Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, and Garth Hudson... this was the Music from Big Pink band,,, that Big Pink house is or WAS in Woodstock,,, That album changed American Music,,, and influenced a generation of Musicians... The Band was the band that was with Dylen when he was booed off the Stage at Newport,,, when he "turned Electric," as they say,,,,
Richard Manuel comited suicide,,,, Rick Danko died from hard livin and drinkin,,, check him out Doin OLD TIME RELIGION... can you spelled Stoned !? Levon and Garth live in Woodstock, and you can catch them around that town on some days,,,, Robbie Robertson is still makin music,,, If you care to part with a "C" Note, you can see Levon at his Midnight Ramble,,,,
You should not only have the CD of the Last Waltz,,, you should own the DVD also... with great performances by the Band, and Dylan, and Muddy Waters, Neil Diamond,,, and ,,,, well go get the CD.......
The Night they drove old Dixie Down,,, is an Amazing song about the Civil War,,,, this a Robbie Robertson Song,,,
Here are a few From the DVD...
