The Band

With the passing of Robbie Robertson we felt it was time to revisit "Big Pink", literally. You can rent the famous home in West Saugerties, NY

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.

A wise man once said it's better to burn out than fade away, and on Thanksgiving Day of 1976, one of the best live acts of the rock era went out in a blaze of glory.

He helped lead the Band through the most iconic Thanksgiving celebration in rock history with 'The Last Waltz,' but he's also an artist who's celebrated his Native American heritage on recordings like 'Contact From the Underworld of Redboy.'

Ever since Bette Midler sang 'One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)' to Johnny Carson' in 1992, it's become a tradition for a concluding late-night television show to be sent off with a musical bang. Last night (Feb. 7), Jimmy Fallon said goodbye to 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' in his own way, singing the Band's 'The Weight' with some help from the Muppets.

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.

One of classic-rock’s most beloved original Christmas tunes, ‘Christmas Must Be Tonight’ by the Band, has been given a faithful new rendition by retro-pop act the Explorers Club. The track can be downloaded for free below.

Released on Sept. 15, 1998, 'Jubilation' got underway, in the fashion of the Band's debut, with a moment of complex melancholy. But Rick Danko's vocal on 'Book Faded Brown' heralded the end of things -- not the beginning.

It's not just that the Band's classic 1972 live recording 'Rock of Ages' only scratched the surface of what the group did over four concerts during the final week of the previous year at New York City's Academy of Music. Turns out, guitarist/co-producer Robbie Robertson never liked how the original sounded.

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.
