Two of the only known real soundboard clips from The Band's 1973 Watkins Glen festival show that had a massive storm blow-in mid concert and forced the group off the stage. Levon Helm describes this event in his book, "This Wheel's On Fire".
Garth could still play as his section of the stage was reasonably protected and still had safe power, so while the storm raged he played a crazy little organ jam that "controlled the elements", so to speak and cleared up the storm. Shortly after, the group came back on stage and continued the concert with a nice little jam, also included here.
Photos are from Watkins Glen and the event posters; the color shot of the band onstage is from the Roosevelt show held within that same two-week period.
