That 1987 debut album was my fav for close to 2 decades. I only started listening to the Band after getting into RR solo material. My fav meeting of the minds was the movie the Color of Money. My fav director, musician, and actor.
Robbie Robertson has passed away :-(
LOVE this guy! The Band was one of my favorites.

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.”

@bdp24 I have not seen Once we Were Brothers. I will try to check it out. I was reading a very long article about Quincy Jones the other day and I was thinking this is the most interesting man in the world. Robbie should also be very interesting. On the Color of Money he did the score. I do not think he was in it. I do recall seeing the movie Carney. Problem with having a good audio system is I no longer watch TV or movies.

Watched Once We Were Brothers yesterday and then read up on the Band and RR on the internet. Great movie and it was interesting to read about his experiences in Toronto where I also grew up. I listened to Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde last night on headphones and liked it. I had that album on SACD for ages but never really listened to it. Maybe I am growing into Dylan. The Before the Flood album has become a recent fav. I enjoyed the following 2 articles on RR: Robbie Robertson: Daniel Lanois Remembers His Solo Debut – Rolling Stone Robbie Robertson: Best Songs With Bob Dylan, the Band, Solo – Rolling Stone
