R.I.P. Robbie...thanks for the tunes!!!

One of my favorite quotes:

Robertson said in 1968. “We just don’t think a name means anything. It’s gotten out of hand, the name thing. We don’t want to get into a fixed bag like that.”

@szeidman2002: There is a 4-CD/1-DVD expanded boxset of Rock Of Ages, entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971. I am fortunate in having seen & heard The Band live in The Berkeley Community Theater during the s/t-"brown" album tour, and they were quite unlike any other I’ve ever seen. IMO they are the best "self-contained" Rock ’n’ Roll band (writing, playing, singing) of them all.

“Once we’re brothers “ is a great biopic. His last album sinematic has that song on it. Very moving. I’m deeply saddened by his passing but eternally grateful I’m alive during this era to appreciate him. Rip Robbie. 

Robertson is also involved with the music for the upcoming Scorsese film Killers Of The Flower Moon. Very appropriate, given Robbie's Native American heritage.
