Sigh...if ONLY they'd stayed together. Richard could've dried up (Robbie was right that the road took a toll - on him especially - no excuse for RR to break up the Band). Anyway he could've dried up, they could've only toured occasionally w/ time for solo projects and occasional Band albums.
Instead, Richard fell back into drinking and hung himself. Rick ballooned in the 90s and bit it. Levon nearly died of cancer, Garth...well, stayed Garth, and Robbie...never fixed his mistake.

@mcdstuff I know he was in Waltz. I didn't make myself clear. Robbie/Scorsese did not include footage of him performing many of his songs; not even the final "I Shall Be Released". The film concentrated on Robbie; his guitar (and switched-off mike ;-) None of the other members of The Band were given the credit they should have gotten. At the premier Ronnie Hawkins was heard to say "Was Richard still in the group when this was done?" for all to hear. Read Levon's book "This Wheels On Fire".

Must have been an off-night.
I think they should of stayed together atleast just taking time and making some studio albums, and if things turned around they could of did a tour or something..

This is not what the title says it is. Technical mishap? Or has the uploader typed in '1976' by mistake twice?
