The Band

In five seemingly short years, the Band went from backing a mostly obscure rockabilly singer to joining Bob Dylan on tour to becoming a super-popular group in its right.

By the time it came out in June 1975, Bob Dylan and the Band's 'The Basement Tapes' was the most famous album never released.

During the first week of January 1974, Bob Dylan went on tour with members of the Band for the first time since 1966, when their controversial shows heralded Dylan's move from folk music to rock. This new collaboration would prove to be no less volcanic.

One of the more distinctive rock bands of the '60s and '70s, the Band boasted a visual aesthetic every bit as striking as their music -- and now, a series of pictures taken by band photographer Elliott Landy for their first two albums is being collected into a book.

The album got underway in a fashion similar to their debut, but this heralded the end of things – not the beginning.

The Band's celebrated concerts from the last week of 1971 are being released in a five-disc box set. 'Live at the Academy of Music 1971' will come out on Sept. 17.

Over a dozen rock and country artists assembled last night to pay tribute to Levon Helm, and hopefully save the barn that housed the formal and informal Midnight Ramble sessions for so many years. The 'Love for Levon' concert took place at the Izod Center in New Jersey on Wednesday.

‘Down in the Flood,’ a documentary that looks at the storied history of Bob Dylan and the Band will be available on September 25th.

One of the consummate concert films of all time is about to be musically and whimsically recreated by an amazing conglomerate of Central Minnesota bards.
