An incredible body of work, but don't forget to check out the late return of three fifths of the Band - Particularly Jericho and Jubilation. These are amazing albums. Atlantic City, Too soon Gone, High Cotton, Book faded brown, If I should fail, Jericho. These are wonderful songs.

............................................Just released ....

Thanks, Rockman!

My advice-- get them all. Great band ( no pun )--great tracks on all their releases-- including the post-Robertson Band... 'Jericho", "High on the Hog" and "Jubilation"--and don't forget the incredible solo releases from Rick Danko, Levon Helm. Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson. Tons of wonderful stuff to discover !

that new boxset by The Band is the most pointless boxset i have ever seen

Live at the Academy looks pretty cool. Just read an interview with Robbie about it. He says he blew the production on "Rock of Ages" & that the new one is going to sound much better.

My favorite track is Christmas Must Be Tonight(Alternate version bonus track on Northern Lights-Southern Cross).

Someone mentioned this edition? This's just great!

Love The Band!

Stones? Yes, I think so. The same applies below.

Manuel never released any solo albums in his lifetime.

Robbie's last cd (with Clapton on a lot of it) was unreal good.

yes i love that album. how to become clairvoyant

i just picked up expanded versions of Cahoots and Northern Lights

I'd really love to hear Robbie & Jeff Beck jam sometime. It would be take no prisoners, I'm sure. Much like this:

I don't know if this was already discussed on here but I thought all the Band stuff was on the last 4CD 1DVD set A Musical History now I see this

This looks pretty cool but definitely on the pricey side. Wonder if Robbie is still bent on doing a Broadway musical?

Fantastic song. Was written & sang by Jason Isobell who has left the band. He's still performing it with his solo band. There were just too many great songwriters in DBT. He was George Harrison in that regard.

Agreed. Just saw Isbell in concert last month. Great show.

Actually, Isbell penned many of my favorite DBT tunes.

Outfit

Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your car is broke.
Don’t worry about losing your accent, a Southern Man tells better jokes.
Have fun but stay clear of the needle. Call home on your sister’s birthday.
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, don’t give it away.

yeah dude thats not real. its about 85%-90% studio material with crowd noise overdubbed. thats why its out of print, the members of the band had it pulled when they discovered it wasn't live

I didn't know that part about the band members pulling the album for that reason.

I bought the Live at Watkins Glen CD when it first came out. The CD came with a cool booklet about Watkins Glen that was a good read. The booklet also had a number of great photos.

So I was disappointed to hear this live album was essentially manufactured in a studio. I thought the Band was in on the con, too. Honestly, the whole fiasco soured me a bit on the Band and their music. I am glad to learn the Band itself was not involved.
