The show is a gem..
One of the best songwriters of his generation and a pivotal member of The Band..Robbie Robertson gives tdm as many stories as he can fit into an all too brief phone call.
It all starts with Robbie’s first remark “I’m only doing this because it’s you”
Terry and Robbie haven’t talked since The Last Waltz so they had some catching up to do.
Robbie takes us through growing up on the Six Nations reserve and picking up his first guitar..
Then things start to roll as a 16 year old musician playing behind Ronnie Hawkins and assembling the members who would become The Band.
The first tour with Dylan, who needed a band with nerves of steel to “go electric”…
And the gathering of “The Canadians” at The Last Waltz in SF.
Robbie ends by telling the stories behind writing and recording three of the greatest songs ever…
The Weight
The night they drove old Dixie down
Up on Cripple Creek.
It’s a full hour with Robbie Robertson and the music of The Band and Bob Dylan.
Check out the playlist below for all the music that goes with the stories.
