Very sad to think there are no members of The Band left.

I saw Garth and Maud at Truck festival in 2007. The stage was almost broken by the entire congregation of Oxford musicians clamouring to get up, squeeze on and join in.
Thank you once again for that show Garth, and farewell

You were both blessed to have seen absolute legends. Before Levon Helm passed away, I always hoped we'd see him at Cropredy, ideally with Garth! Sadly many dreams never come true....  |

I got to see Levon Helm and his band in Austin in 2010. His voice was pretty much gone but it was a rollicking good time nonetheless. I never got to see any other members of The Band live, sadly. The internet tells me the reformed Band without Robbie played familiar venues in Austin in 1983 and again in 1984, when I was in college, but I was oblivious at the time.
R.I.P. Garth Hudson and goodnight all.

Just got the email. That mustn't leave many Soft Machine members . The odds on Wyatt being the last original member must have been pretty low! A sad loss...I've always wondered why he 'retired' at such a 'relatively' early age... |

Not strictly a musician, but intimately linked with many from the Fairport/Steeleye/Albions/Home Service family - playwright Keith Dewhurst, who gave us The Mysteries and Lark Rise. (My parents bought an early VHS recorder, so I asked them to record The Mystery Plays when they were first televised. I didn't own a VHS unit for a fair few years, so it was a relief to find that the tapes still played OK...) And the Clapton fans had been wrong... Brian Glover WAS God.  |

A sad loss...I've always wondered why he 'retired' at such a 'relatively' early age... The word is poor Robert isn't very well. Sorry, my point about retiring was about Mike. Robert's not been well for a while...about a year ago his son put out a statement saying he was: suffering from "progressive", "variable" memory loss. "If you meet him he may not remember who you are unless you’re a close friend or family". Poor chap. |

I wish there was a commercial release of the film of those plays - I'd have loved to have seen them |
