    What stands out to me most about these guys is how confident and deliberate they are in their playing. They don't rush, instead they take their time creating that signature tight, yet loose groove. Truly one of a kind musical chemistry was on display when The Band played.

      A Rock Star, he was not. A great, or should I say, really great musician he was! Yes, you are so right...I noticed that act of humility, and graciousness at the end. And, that after tearing the shit up out of that great song with a stellar vocal performance. He was a multi instrumentalist, but, in his vocal work, he didn't just find the pocket and sing there, he felt the shove of the groove, and sang balls to the wall on top of it.

      ​@@PhukIT1865 Composer's copyright yield royalties for their holders. That did not hold back many successful Bands. Promotions and Advertising (P&A), and... live performances create demand and ticket sales. Promoters must compete for audiences...So, if the guys were earning union scale as professionals, once they were signed, produced and managed, promotion and merchandising would supplement income from tours to support their albums. Did Albert Grossman screw Levon?

      Robbie definitely wrote the songs, there is no disputing that. So he got song writing credits, but the other Band members made plenty of money too. I'm guessing Levon's version is somewhat onesided, read Barney Hoskyns biograhpy of The Band, and you get a more balanced view, not Robbie was perfect (who is),@@PhukIT1865

      You know, Clapton has pondered lately that when they broke up after last waltz , they toured f I r northern lights southern cross. Released in 76 77, I think.
      And they were clean and playing fantastic,
      Just like the Beatles, they didn't have to break up indefinitely.
