I've had The Band's live record Rock of Ages (1972) in rotation for the last several days. I just can't get enough: the tone of Rick Danko's bass‚ the vocal harmonies‚ the horn section‚ and of course‚ the songs. Timeless.
Rock of Ages was recorded over a series of shows at NYC's Academy of Music on December 28-31‚ 1971. I recently came across this video of "Don't Do It" from those shows. Man‚ this music moves. It's so bad ass.
