The Band: The Authorized Video Biography 2/5 

I love this bio of The Band, and that Harry Dean Stanton, who Levon loved so much, is doing the narrative, this is so great!

Garth's smile is so contagious A musician's musician indeed

I can listen to these guys talk about the good old days 24/7!!!

These dudes are for real Could listen to these stories forever 😎

BAND OF ARTISTS....They set the standard. Greatest of all time.

The best!!

still love this music!

The Hawks were the total Package, these guys lit up Yonge street, Garth talks so baritone, hard to believe Him and Robbie are the only two still with us...

Awesome... Great Bio

No. 2 band

I dig it

14:24 These guys were so cool, It could not be contained! They are famous because they are all originals! Tell me God does not have a plan for a Band!

The Band announcing that they were quitting , having a special last show , and then continuing to tour , messed up their public image . It made them look like they couldnt sell out a hall without saying it was their last show . Show biz messiness aside , their first three albums are very good .

The greatest American rock band was 4/5th Canadian!!!!

1:35 Narrator says Ronnie Hawkins' first Canadian recruit was Robbie Robertson when that was Canadian, Scott Cushnie. No reason to get that fact wrong. Robbie Robertson in Testimony says Ronnie's piano player Scott Cushnie greeted Robbie Robertson when he got off the bus after it arrived in Fayetteville AK. Earlier, RR and Cushnie were in a band together in Toronto called "The Suedes." When bass player Jimmy Evans left the Hawks in 1960, Scott “Magoo” Cushnie (later known as "Professor Piano") was the one that talked Ronnie Hawkins into hiring Robbie Robertson as his replacement. Hmmmm. 1:55 Also from Testimony p. 72, RR says that Fred Carter felt very competitive towards him despite his being considerably younger and inexperienced and that Carter didn't like any one trespassing on his turf and made a "snide remark about my practicing all the time" and the teenager retorted that "someday I'm gonna cut you." BONUS 5:04 "Dion and the original Belmonts" on the marquee! 13:52 Levon follows Dylan to Woodstock? Doesn't mention Levon's return to his band because he doesn't mention his leaving. Starting to not like this. Most of the time it only take a couple of more words to be accurate.

Is Levon twirling his left stick?

Ronnie hawkins said levon never wrote anything and robbie done everything! Robbie new who to pay off

The coveted 666 "like"

John Hammond trying to act black.

No wonder they never made it! The Beatles were in Hamburg while they were stuck in fifties
