The band. They sound like A Band but go a little harder, but not nearly as hard as That Band.
I fear for a generation that has no idea who The Band was and how they changed music history.

The Band is the band that band leader Robbie Robertsen led.
I highly suggest watching “The Last Waltz” directed by Scorsese. It has a serious list of guest appearances and is obviously a well done film documenting the last performance by The Band
Not to mention he was an outstanding guitar player. Those original Band albums and the records with Dylan wouldn't be nearly as good without Robertson's strat.
Take a load off, Robbie.
RIP
Caught the blue train
Legend.
Damn. I just had a convo with my mother about this group. They were busy in the 70s and 80s. They opened for a lot of groups and said yes to a lot of collabs.
Sad to hear he died. RIP
Why are they such a big deal? I like a few of the songs from them but don't understand the hype. Sad to hear of his passing nonetheless.
Other people like more of their songs
They were very popular in their time and were influential to other bands that came later like The Grateful Dead
Thanks, as a head I could tolerate them but wouldn't go out of my way to listen. I got the idea there was something really special about them that I was missing.

I do like this song and cripple creek.
