Hit: 4 Stars
This is the only official live recording of The Band playing as a quintet. Rock of Ages and the The Last Waltz have horns and other instruments augmenting proceedings.
You know you're going to enjoy this from the first track a stirring version of Chuck Berry's 'Back to Memphis'. Levon Helm's vocal is powerful and gritty and Robbie Robertson plays some mean variations on Chuck Berry's original rock 'n' roll guitar licks. 'Endless Highway' shows off the organ playing skills of Garth Hudson and the vocal by Rick Danko isn't bad either. Talking of vocals, the version of 'I Shall Be Released' on this album gives you the chance to hear Richard Manuel's unique singing voice. For this song its sung entirely falsetto, an amazing performance.
My favourite track on the album is 'Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever'. A great cover of a Motown song, which on this performance sounds like it was written for The Band (it wasn't). Danko's vocal is brilliant, aching and desperate, with the rest of the backing vocals fitting perfectly.
The reason it doesn't get five stars is the inclusion of 'Too Wet To Work' a Garth Hudson instrumental which is like an old fashioned Cinema interval. He's a brilliant musician but this sounds out of place.
The rest of the album is great and captures one of the most important American/Canadian Rock N Roll groups at the height of their career. Whether this is isn't the Watkins Glen concert doesn't matter to me its dam good regardless.
