| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @rel: Touche! In my defense, my only excuse is that I never before typed either Calvary or cavalry. Looking at the word calvary now, it doesn’t look even close to how cavalry sounds. Now that I think about it, I've been aware of Calgary (the city... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The Band, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Buddy Guy did a tour of Canada together in 1970, traveling from city-to-city on a train car they took over. Rick Danko and Janis had a ball together, singing old Hillbilly and Blues songs. The tour wa... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Other fun facts about The Last Waltz: - Ever wonder why Neil Diamond---clearly out-of-place---was included in the roster of artists? Robertson had produced his latest album. Shameless self-promotion. - The rehearsal for the show was runnin... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @garebear: Your understanding of the royalty question is mine as well. I think Robbie’s comment of "I did what I had to do" is very revealing of the nature of his related actions. Band producer John Simon (he did their first two albums) has told ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @tonnesen: If you call Eminent Technology, Bruce Thigpen will get on the phone with you (actually, he often answers it himself), and answer all your questions about the LFT-8c. He's a very friendly, down-to-Earth kinda guy. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @therandyman: One cool thing about the video is that when Robbie is performing the song on piano, you can better hear the song's great chord progressions, and the sophisticated voicing of the chords. Majestic! | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @baconboy: Robbie’s replacement on guitar in the reformed Band was Jim Weider, who imo is actually a better guitarist than was Robbie. I know, sacrilege! Plus, Jim didn’t pretend to sing as did Robbie all throughout The Last Waltz. When Levon, Ric... | |
| Requesting Technical Assistance You may have just popped a fuse, assuming the Fisher employs them in a location where the hot & ground speaker wires touching would do so. Check for a fuse, and if that's the culprit just replace it. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @jonwolfpell: Yeah, that live recording of "Don’t Do It"---which is the opening track on The Band’s double live album Rock Of Ages---is killer. There’s a studio recording of the song, but it appeared only as the B-side of the "Rag Mama Rag" 45 RPM... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". OMG, I detest Duran Duran. But I love the debut album by ABC (The Lexicon Of Love), who plowed basically the same field as DD. I find it kind of amusing how Robert Plant is now involved in music somewhat related to The Band’s kind of music. Why a... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @rettrussell: A beautiful post, thank you. Eric Clapton also holds Richard Manuel in very high regard. His death (okay, suicide) is the only one of a musician that brought me to tears. @relayer101: I myself found Music From Big Pink to be unfatho... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? If I were to be allowed a second list of three, it could include: - Emitt Rhodes: s/t debut. Better than McCartney’s debut. - Dave Edmunds: Get It. Dave was my favorite artist and producer during the 1970’s and 80’s. - Rockpile: Seconds O... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @vonhelmholtz: I respect the Hell out of Joan Baez. But she became the object of derision amongst myself and my peers when she sang "till so much calvary came" instead of the correct "till Stoneman’s calvary came" in "The Night They Drove Old Dixi... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I believe carlsbad2's post was directed at me. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @stuartk: Your comments about Hiatt’s Slow Turning album ("It’s too bad that same group didn’t click when they went into the studio to record Slow Turning") seems to imply that it---like Bring The Family---was recorded with Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, a... |
