The Band Live At Watkins Glen (CD - Capitol, 1995) **
Genre: Canadian rock
Places I remember: Kings Recording - Abu Dhabi.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Up On Cripple Creek - Levon Helm in fine form!
Gear costume: Don't Ya Tell Henry
Active compensatory factors: I've deducted a point for the fraudulent nature of this collection. A few tracks are from the actual concert but the vast majority are studio outtakes with an audience noise super imposed over them.
Crazy! The music is okay and my two featured tracks are the pick of the bunch but really...how cynical are Capitol records?
Crappy cover too! looks like someone has shot up the sign, which would be appropriate.
Where do they all belong? In a completist Band fanatic's collection (which I am not).
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS. Music grips you, gets into your soul - GEORGE MARTIN
