Thanks for posting a link to my site again, Kev. Made me remeber to post something from The Band for you.

There are some more photos of this gig up here:

This shows a lot of fun.

Looks like a cool community you guys have here! Have you heard the 4 sets of Bob Dylan and the Band up on Wolfgang's Vault:

Some context, from Levon Helm's "This Wheel's On Fire":

The Band went out on tour that summer of the American bicentennial. It was our first national tour in two years. ... We did ninety-minute shows that summer all over the country, playing our familiar songs and more recent material from Northern Lights. "It Makes No Difference" gave Rick a showcase in the middle of the set, and I did "Ophelia" and "Forbidden Fruit." Everyone was watching Richard carefully, and he had good nights and bad. Sometimes he shouted and spat the lyrics to "Tears of Rage" with biblical fervor; other times he sounded painful to hear, but still drenched in the conviction that Richard brought to a song. Richard could hurt you with that voice of his. ... Despite all the self-destructive behaviour, you just couldn't be mad at Richard.

Our shows started out rough but ended smooth. The moment where we faded "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" into "Chest Fever" was always magic for me, and Richard sang the thing as if for his very life. ...

Around that time we played a pretty good show at the Carter Barron Ampitheater in Washington, DC, which was broadcast on a widely syndicated rock radio show called The King Biscuit Flower Hour - pretty ironic, since I'd grown up listening to King Biscuit Time on KFFA back in Helena.

The Band started to unravel maybe two thirds through this tour, which turned out to be our last with the original lineup.
