Have you seen the "Big Easy Express" . It's a long form music video entitled "Big Easy Express" of three bands on a train, and playing gigs along the way, on tour in 2011, The show won a grammy. And can be seen on tv or online. Google for what bands play , but from what I can see in your music, you are going to really love it.
Yes was so amazing and ahead of their time. They were one of the bands you never saw on album covers, or anywhere. It will be fun to "see" them sing. Balcony, first row. Oh good choice.
Wow, I missed the Last Waltz, completely slipped by me. Was it an hr, or more a movie. I will be watching that very soon. You are much more informed on The Band than I. The movie Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe, is rumored to be largely about The Band.
Sounds like you have gone to concerts all your life. We have too. I have every ticket stub in an old check book register. Any one you are still hoping to see?
@plantladylin, Otis Redding is just one of a kind special. Love whenever I hear him sing. Now PIttBull. I am going to have to look at him again. I have two big books of cd's at work I listen to. Husband always frets someone will steal it. No one wants cd's, lol. I do think that people are missing so much about musicians if they don't take in the whole album. Tells you so much more about the artists when you hear every song, not just the top 2 or 3.
@Cinta, your family really took in all music. That is pretty rare, and lucky. If there is an opera I would like, please share. I am not proud to say I never could acquire the taste for it. We would not have music without the spirituals, and old hymns.
