huh?

Re: levon helm
 

The Band is amazing, listen to as much as you can.

As for the lyrics, I don't think you are right. "I don't mind chopping wood, and I don't care if my money's no good."

First line - life will be hard
Second line - confederate money is worthless

I've always been partial to Stage Fright myself.

We need to keep this near the top so Cardo can see the post title when he wakes up in about six hours. He's going to click so fast he breaks his mouse.

Saw him at the Beacon last month and he put on a great show. He played several Band classics and also did a great rendition of Springsteen's "Atlantic City".

I entered this thread expecting a "Paging Cardo" post and I wasn't disappointed!

My opinion is that The Band is the all-time most underrated band. Followed by Cream...maybe. The Band and Dylan together was greatness too.

How did he sound? Didn't he recently have throat cancer?

I thought his voice was great, amazing considering he had the bout with throat cancer. Just an all around great show.
