@LDixon007 I would agree but would qualify that in terms of worldwide impact (plus Robbie's songwriting) that their second album (next year) could be considered "debut" in establishing them as a major tour de force in music. This one - to be sure - got the attention of musicians!
@dumbangel75 Yes, They were all Canadian except for Levon who is from Arkansas. But there sound is the most American thing ever made! God bless THE BAND
@sonshound I was literally just telling my sister how good the Hammond b-3 is and how its the best instrument, Fucking cosmic coincidence to this psychedelic tune!
Superbement progressif et rock sale à la fois.

Excellent tune! One of my favorite groups of the late 1960's.
Hanging out playing this album until the needle wore out.
The organ makes this song deep!

Talented musicians like The Band, Rush, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell make me proud to be Canadian.

The Intro could be Deep Purple....it's tough to beat the sound of a Hammond B-3 with the leslie screaming..
My favorite sounding instrument.
