Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson - 1985-01-02.06 - New York City, NY

(Soundboard mp3@192)

While The Band disbanded in 1976, the members, with the exception of Robbie Robertson, regrouped in 1983. While the later Band were not as prominent as before, they could still be bluesy and soulful (just check out Disc Two’s You Don’t Know Me) and they could easily rock your socks off.

In the later days of The Band during the ’80s, the Lone Star Cafe seemed to have become their New York City home away from home. They played there with many different incarnations throughout those years. Here we have Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson along with meager backing. This is two late shows recorded a few nights apart and they include some lesser performed songs and unusual covers. Jorma Kaukonen and Jaco Pastorius each sit in on the different shows.”

Slightly more than a year later, Manuel committed suicide on March 4, 1986. On December 10, 1999, Rick Danko died in his sleep at the age of 56. And on June 15, 2007, The Band’s late-period keyboardist, Richard Bell, died from multiple myeloma.
