Vinyl Spins - The Band

This is one of my favorite albums of 1969. I listened to this a few times along with other Band albums while recently reading Robbie Robertson's memoir Testimony. I got this album back in 1969 when it was released.

I saw them that year in a club in Philly. I think it was the Trauma downtown but it might have been over at the

Kaleidoscope over in Roxborough. Saw them again in Chicago in 1970, in 1973 at Watkins Glen and then in 1974 with Bob Dylan in Philly. They were always very good. We saw them one more time in 1994 without Robinson touring the Jericho album. They were still pretty good.

These all The Band albums in my collection including the ones with Bob Dylan.
