The most thrilling moment I've ever had at a concert was at The Nassau Coliseum on Long Island in 1974. The house went dark and Dylan's rhythm guitar opening for Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) filled the air then the stage lights came up as The Band exploded into the song. I swear I had goosebumps for days. A couple of nights later I saw them again at Madison Square Garden. Those concerts were the greatest I've ever experienced. I heard, but could not see, The Band at the Watkins Glen Summer Jam in 1973. I was recovering under a tree in the woods after too much beer and sun. I also got to see the re-constituted Band without Robertson and Manuel a couple of times. They were good but as Dylan says, "you can always come back but you can't come back all the way." Saw Levon last summer at the Newport Folk Festival with his band including Larry Campbell, Amy, Jimmy Vivino, Little Sammy Davis, et al, and they were grand. There will never be a band like The Band again. The second album is, IMO, one of the very few perfect records ever made. Not a note wasted or out of place on it. Thanks for the pics!
