“I’ll be down to get you in a taxi honey better be ready by half past eight now, honey don’t be late I want to be there when the band starts playing…” 56 years ago today in 1969, the band released their self-titled second record, aka the brown album. absolute perfection 🤎

On this day in 1971, The Band dropped their 4th studio album, Cahoots. Allen Toussaint brought the horns to “Life Is a Carnival,” and Richard Manuel let loose alongside Van Morrison on “4% Pantomime.” What’s your favorite track off this one?

“and for the price that the poor boy has paid, he gets to sing just like a bird.” the band’s third album, stage fright, was released 55 years ago today in 1970—quite simply a record worthy of great appreciation ❤️

On this day in 1972, Rock of Ages was released. Recorded live at the Academy of Music in New York, the album reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200. This performance of “The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show” captures The Band in full swing.

what do you know about the weight by the band
enough about the worst song ever. let's talk about the best song ever. for instance "i don't feel like dancing" by scissor sisters
