This is a forum about "The Band", a 60's rock band who played with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Van Morrison. Post what you think about them.

I was never a big fan, but they were very solid, professional musicians.  They were quite "no frills", so they worked well with different front men.

Yeah!  Love *The Band* and always will.  It's a toss up for my Fav album between *Cahoots* or *Music From Big Pink*.

 

Love the *The last Waltz*. Great for a kick back day!

I really liked Garth Hudson's Organ playing and Robbie Robertsons guitar playing. I really like their album Stage Fright

Nice "Band"!2004 Rolling Stone ranked them #50 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

How do I get more people to post?

Van Morrison and the Band in the Last Waltz was incredible!

yep

I really like the Last Waltz version of The Weight with Mavis and Pop Staples. The version is not the one in the actual concert. The one in concert is without Mavis & Pop. They didn't like it so they overdubbed it.

Sleeping is my favorite song.

I really love the song "The Weight." And any band where the drummer is the lead vocals is cool in my book.

Also Rick Danko had a coolly urgent voice and was a mighty funky bassist (I just saw their performance from the second season of SNL on DVD).

i like bob dylan

nobody can write the lyrics in his way

i really like ricks singing on "Stage Fright"
