A passionate performance that captures the soul of American rock.
Recorded live at the Fillmore East in 1971, this album features performances by Robbie Robertson and others, as well as a horn section, marking the peak of The Band's musical talent.
A live masterpiece filled with earthy, soulful performances. Classic hits like "The Weight" and "Up on Cripple Creek" are brought back to life with a passionate energy. The addition of horn arrangements expands the scale of the songs, highlighting the fusion of rock and R&B. Richard Manuel's vocals exude melancholy, and there's a definite warmth to the groove.
