Synopsis

The story of the making of The Band featuring interviews with the surviving members of The Band as well as Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Don Was.

At the time of the album’s release, the US album charts were in the grip of psychedelic rock, yet The Band bucked the musical trends of the day and produced a musical and lyrical take on America that resonates as strongly today as upon its release over thirty years ago.

    Worth a look if you are interested.

    The Band certainly had a unique sound when it came to music and this educational documentary really did give a nice insight into this group. One of the interesting points they made is that they played with Bob Dylan. For someone who didn’t know much about the Band, it was a nice interesting piece to get interested in. However, for me it wasn’t inspiring and it didn’t motivate me to go out and search for their records but it was nice to have to have that knowledge about them and how they creatively went about creating their self-titled album.
