Love this article by Tracey Thorn. She's definitely one of the people I miss from the Bird site.
I fully agree... #JoniMitchell was spectacular that night!

One of the best songs and performances.

My early assumption that “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” was an old folk song. #111Words #TheNightTheyDroveOldDixieDown #JoanBaez #RobbieRobertson #TheBand https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2023/08/my-early-assumption-that-night-they.html

Thinking of Robbie Robertson... Do yourself a favor and watch The Last Waltz for free (you just have to put up with ads) on Pluto TV. Amazing tunes and guests!

Farewell Robbie Robertson, your music still means so much to me. Thank you. #robbierobertson #TheBand

I am not going to pretend to be a bigger fan than I am. I like a few songs by #TheBand. But ...

#TheWeight is, IMHO (H stands for humble), one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Woke up to some sad news today. It was disappointing the way the original line-up of The Band ended, and what happened afterwards. However, when they were together, it was magic! RIP Robbie

Goh, Robbie Robertson is niet meer onder ons. Ik kocht mijn eerste plaat van the Band op aanraden van een vriend in 1984 (waarbij de man van Bullet vertelde dat hij the Last Walz in geen járen verkocht had). Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat het ook jaren duurde voordat ik als hardrockertje de muziek echt begreep, maar zijn liedjes waren dan ook van een zeldzame schoonheid. #muziek #theband #robbierobertson

Very sad to hear of the passing of

Robbie Robertson

(5 July 1943 - 9 August 2023)

He made terrific music and classic songs with The Band. His self titled solo album is also great.

Real bummed about Robbie Robertson, The Band has been one of my most listened to groups since I was a curious Bob Dylan fan early in my teens, one of the most important factors in my love of Americana and alt-country, and Robbie's songwriting and guitar was always the heart of everything they did. I even liked some of his solo stuff, he had a way with words and his gruff voice ingratiated itself with you with time. #music #theband

Never heard "Acadian Driftwood" on the radio, but to me it's one of The Band's best songs ... three members swapping lead vocals to tell a 200-year-old historical narrative, with a kickass fiddle dancing through six-plus minutes.

How many bands could pull that off?
