The Band is a is Levon Helm....he is an American, there for the Band is American!!!
But I agree with you....I'm also throwing in Neil Young
pfft dont try that warped logic with me. im very well aware levon helm is from arkansas. but the other guys are all canadian and their influence was as equal,if not more in some instances, as levons.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Clearly they all had great influences. Eventually though it became a Robertson, Helm thing. And Robertson is a dick. I love Levon, Seen him live 5 tyimes and he never gets old. I even saw him play with Bob Wier fronting his band cause he couldnt sing. Sick. But I digress. Here's an awsome story:
For the Last. Waltz, as you know many famous people were invited to play with them: ranging from Neil Young, Neil Diamond, ROnnie Hawkins, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, etc..... Well no one invited, and no one in The Band actually like Neil Diamond. But Robbie Robertson love him, they were best friends. Neil Diamond is apparently a prick. Well, after playing, while walking off stage. Neil Diamond passes by Bob Dylan (as he is walking on stage), and says to him 'try and top that Bobby'....so Bob Dylan looks at him and says 'what do I have to do, put them to sleep?' hahahahahahy classic story.

bwahaha. robertson was a dick. totally agree. yeah i know the neil diamond story. levon even threatened to walk when robbie suggested they bump muddy waters from the lineup. can you imagine???
did you know robbies mic was turned off during the last waltz??? thats what i heard from an inside source anyways.

If that's true thats out of control. They must have had to turn it on for the songs that he sung lead for and turn it off otherwise. Yea at that point in time Robertson and Levon were not on good terms at all. Robertson was trying to make it his band (even though it was really Levon Helms band....alla Levon and the Hawks). But yea, you can't bump Muddy Waters. Not only is he a blue god, but hes Levons best friend and neighbor (I saw Muddy Waters preform with Levon at his midnight ramble....the annual concert he holds in his barn....unreal). Levons contention was if neil diamond plays so does muddy waters
... Levons contention was if neil diamond plays so does muddy waters
seems more than fair imo.
i have to say martin scorsese annoys the bejesus out of me in the last waltz. almost as much as my heart breaks watching richard.
yea, his specialty definately isn't filming, directing, producing major concerts lol. Wonder what it would have been like if Speilberg or Tarentino could have scored this job.

Three everyday geeky guys who love their *bowls of soup* on their own time, true professionals on the stage that NEVER dissappoint.....and you bumped into them on the street most peeps wouldn't have a clue who they are. One of the few rock bands who've had such major influence on rock music for more than a quarter century.
They have truly been *Graceful Under Pressure* .....I can't wait to hear *Moving Picture* in it's entirety this summer.

I don't know why this thread has been extended to four pages because this not only reopened the thread, it SHOULD HAVE shut it down permanentyly....The Band it is
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

Muddy has been dead since 1983.

put down the crack pipe. Most of these other "flavor of the week" picks are equally ridiculous.
