All the members of The Band had unique, very high level talent & together made some great music. My Dad bought their second album (the brown one) in 1969 after reading about it in Time magazine & while he liked it, it wasn’t his thing so he gave it to me & I’ve been a real fan ever since. Btw, the remastered version of the album on Qobuz is outstanding & captures some great harmonies by everyone & drumming by Levon Hellm that were a bit masked originally.
I love the story about Garth Hudson who has a highly trained & skilled musician explaining to his parents that he was “ those guys” music teacher & why he was hanging out w/ them when they first got started.
The Last Waltz is amongst the best concert movies ever w/ of course great music w/ many great guest musicians masterfully put together by Martin Scorsese.
