Sad. The Last Waltz is probably the best concert documentary ever made. I've probably watched it 30 times over the years.

Me too, I guess The Weight got to be too much, The Night They Drove Ol' Hudson Down

One of the most under rated groups of all time

You can take that probably out. I got it on DVD, Blue Ray and digitally over the years.

Listen to a lot of Pods on music from early 60's to mid 80's. So many people credit them for advancing the music from the 60's on. Clapton said when he heard Big Pink that music was changed and they all had to catch up.

The Weight by far their most famous, but I loved It Makes No Difference and Acadian Driftwood as well

Their covers of Dylan songs were epic

At least he got a river and a bay named after him.

 

[80 Proof]

Their covers of Dylan songs were epic

Their cover of Springsteen's Atlantic City is also incredible.

 

[Hank Camacho]

Before the Flood is probably my favorite album ever.

The bass riff at the beginning of Don’t Do It is the best five seconds in Rock n’ Roll.

G'nite, sweet prince.

I Shall Be Released is very good

 

[justa]

Richard Manual on that maybe one of the best vocals of all time.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Their cover of Springsteen's Atlantic City is also incredible.

It's axiomatic that any Springsteen song is exponentially better when, you know, Springsteen isn't performing it.

 

[HymanKaplan]

To be fair, when they covered Dylan songs, it's not really a cover, because they were Dylan's band. Which pretty much makes them, THEIR songs (performance-wise)

 

[WTF Cat]

Kudos to the guys for putting up with Robertson for all those years. He comes across as a class A dbag.

It's impossible to overstate how much impact they had on the music scene at a time when everything was faux electric sitars and endless, pointless drum solos. Just amazing musicianship. Two incredible live albums in "Rock of Ages" and "The Last Waltz." Had the pleasure of seeing them at a stadium concert in Cleveland in 1975.
