What better way to finish the documentary than with Garth playing two keyboards at once. And with a trucker hat.

@DinnerBells unfortunately I had to cut that clip since I was already beyond the 10 min limit

I didn't know this was out there, so this was a particular treat.

Thanks for posting it, jonasjar. I appreciate The Band all the more now. What peerless musicians they were.

[jonasjar]

@searcherboy you're welcome, yes they were great and original. I dont listen to them so often today but I dont need to, they're always with me, you cant shake off music like that once it's under your skin.

All I know is way back in 70 thru 72 on a coral atoll, we would have this album on every night while playing poker.

We "went with it" as you say.

In hindsight, The Band was not some vinyl disc on the turntable, they were part of the night, live and in person.

[jonasjar]

@oriskany That sounds "righteous" somehow, those nights on the coral atoll, you did the the right thing, no doubt :-)

Thanks for posting! I've been searching for that part where Robertson demonstrates the greatness of the drum and bass co-operation. Simply great music!

@BBQFanNo1 Really? Blackballed?? I thought CCR was the biggest selling band in the world for one or two years running and The Band (2nd album) was gold or maybe platinum and certainly critically acclaimed ... little more research maybe :)

[StanKindly]

@danieljh Actually they ARE - in some government archival listing as " relative to the historical experience of life in The United States... etc" I can't remember the details but a search would probably find it :)

[danieljh]

The Band was and always will be AMERICANA. They should have a place in the smithsonian music archives. It truly is historic American Music.

[BBQFanNo1]

The best group ever along with CCR that never had a Number 1 hit song. Both groups in my personal opinion were the worst underrated groups in the history of music. The Billboard and Music ranking people blackballed and shafted these groups rottenly. A disgrace crime against the history of the Music Ranking Industry they underranked these two groups.

The Band is everything that ever was and ever will be.

thanks for uploading this gem! The Band epitomize what it means (or should mean) to be in a band.
