I was at this concert. Grateful Dead also on bill. The Band kicked ass! I still remember what an INCREDIBLE show!

@bucks1955mjm oh man you don't know how badly i wish i'd been born earlier to see these bands, all my favourite bands (the band, talking heads, pixies) are gone, well pixies are still here but far from their prime

I was there too. There were giants in them days.

@dancingspike I agree to an extent, but local talent, ummm no. Apples and oranges depending on where you live.

@iangcunningham I'm sure Grizzly Bear has quite a few multi instrumentalists.

Older bands were certainly more technically gifted, people had lesser variety of recrational activities - no internet, no youtube :)

So they rehearsed and played in their free time.

But that doesn't mean, musicians, artists nowadays are any less passionate about what they do.

I agree that there are some decent bands out there today if you look around for them, but nothing like what was out there from 65-75. Everything now is about MONEY. Listen to The Basement Tapes and you will see what it sounds like when guys are playing purely for the love of music. Also....how many bands can you name with 4 guys that each play 3 or more instruments on the same album? The Band is unique in that sense...they switch around to find the arrangement that produces the best result.
