Free Music Notes for A Musical History

Free Music Review: You Can Walk On The Water...It's A Restless Age
Hit: 5 Stars

It's all here...Sixteen years as a touring unit...Begining with The Hawks, Bob Dylan, Big Pink and on through The Last Waltz. Sure there were bigger acts during The Band's tenure. The Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeplin and The Who undoubtly grossed more ticket receipts and record sales. But can anyone deny them their place in rock history? Did any other record album of it's time ever have the impact of Music From Big Pink? Unique...Why I dare say The Band was about as unique as a three horned unicorn.

I'll not bore anyone with a song by song analysis of the material comprising this anthology. Suffice to say it is the most comprehensive collection of The Band's awesome sixteen year output. The selections draw heavily on a wealth of unreleased live material from The Festival Express Train Tour, 7/70 to The Royal Albert Hall, 6/71 to The Academy Of Music 12/71 to The Palladium, 9/76 and of course their swan song Winterland Palace, 11/76. There's also an ample serving of unreleased studio out-takes and live rehersal tracks.

The Band - A Musical History will satisfy first time listeners and afficonados alike. As they say in Life's A Carnival..."You can walk on the water or you can drown in the sand.....It's a restless age". It sure was a restless age way back in the late 1960's up until 1976, when The Band offically gave up touring. One thing's for sure during their long and faithful run they absolutely did walk on water. Listen and try to keep from drowning in the sand.

A Musical History Poster

The Band: A Musical History is a labor of love, and Executive Producer/Band member Robbie Robertson has built something truly impressive in the form of this five CD, one DVD, and 108-page hardcover book collection. The book alone will impress just about any music enthusiast. From its candid photographs of artists from Bob Dylan to Janis Joplin, to a detailed history of the Bend written by Grammy Award-winning musicologist Rob Bowman, it's well worth the price of admission. The 102-song collection follows the group's progression from their earliest of days, pre-Band, circa 1963, as background players for Toronto blues/rocker Ronnie Hawkins, to their final studio recording, "Out of the Blue" laid down in 1977. The box also includes 30 previously unreleased songs. On that list you'll find everything from early versions of Band tunes to "song sketches" (pieces for which the lyrics may have been unfinished, but, as in the case of the late Richard Manuel's soulful "Beautiful Thing," the emotion is captured just the same. Equally impressive is the DVD, which is filled with newly-issued live performances. These include a rough-but-wonderful songs from the Festival Express train tour, two tracks from a Wembley Stadium concert (admittedly the weakest sonically and visually on the disc) and three songs recorded for Saturday Night Live, including an endearing cover of "Georgia On My Mind." This amazing box set isn't just for Band fans; anyone who loves the music of the '60s and '70s could spend dozens of hours lost in this incredible collection. --Denise Sheppard
