| need suggestions with THE BAND Posted by jose canseco i have tried to like the Band, but its just not clicking for some reason. I want to enjoy thier song and perhaps havent been exposed to their greatest.  on 5/31 at 12:23 amwhat i ask is any true fans of the band link a few good tunes that are off the radar. I got their greastest hit. Drove ole dixie down is 1 of my favorites, of cousre the weight and cripple creek. But there has to be more based on the love this board gets. I have seen Last Waltz and it was impressive. but i want more. currently i have been into a herion addictted Clapton. Allman brothers with Duane. Neil young is in my current rotation along with svr, stones, black crowes. so that is my frame of reference. can anyone link some robbie rob going off or levon doing his thing. i am admittidly ignorant on thier catalog and want to change that. The Band gets high acclaim from poster i respect on this board, but i havent been able to turn the corner. HELP MUSIC BOARD! Reply • Back to Top |

| thing is, i really like a few of thier tracks, but unaware of the catalog. im thinking there is some music im missing, but dont where to find it...if i heard enough of the Bands sound and it aint doing it for me, well, they will be just an average sounding band with a few good hits Reply • Back to Top |

| See if you can find their first live album: "Rock of Ages." They used a horn section (arranged by New Orleans' own Allen Toussaint) for the gig and it adds another layer to their songs. Reply • Back to Top |
Posted by redneck hippie on 5/31 at 5:13 am to jose canseco Music from the Big Pink is probably their masterpiece album. Their sound is different from most of the music being made at the time. They used instruments like tubas and pipe organs that created an old time feel. Some of their songs sound like a mix of 1860s folk music and rock and roll. Reply • Back to Top |
| I liked them better with Bob Dylan. Reply • Back to Top |
| Well, uh, I liked them better with Ronnie Hawkins! Reply • Back to Top |
| "It Makes No Difference" is the saddest, most painful song ever recorded. Reply • Back to Top |

| You just need to let the music soak in. It may a certain time that it hits you but I believe it will. I like their version of I Shall Be Released but I like this guy's version better. Just MO I Shall Be Released Reply • Back to Top |
| Just saw the Classics Album video, The making of the album, The Band. Check it out. Things may click once you get to know the band members and their relationship. Reply • Back to Top |
Dandy, I watched it last night and didn't think it was possible to like The Band more than I already do but that documentary just confirms how amazing that group of guys were. I don't like to give Canada credit very often but Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Richard Danko and Robbie Robertson are geniuses! Levon Helm is just understood brilliance. The Band...

Posted by windriver on 5/31 at 1:03 pm to jose canseco Watch the live version of "The Shape I'm In" on youtube. But, as already said, you can't make yourself like a band.Reply • Back to Top |
| Every music fan should own a copy of The Last Waltz Reply • Back to Top |
