What a stunner! I certainly agree with you, Greg. The depth of his work is yet to be mined, because it didn't stop with The Band. His last waltz went on and on, as long as Robbie Robertson could stretch out. Not only did he have a solo career but he wrote for television and Hollywood long after his own performances ended. I don't think Robbie Robertson ever got the credit he was due from the public, but other musicians filled in the appreciation gap. RIP, Robbie.
I've been listening to Robbie's songs with love and enjoyment since 1967. There are millennials and younger generations who are still discovering The Band and their glorious music. I've been nurturing some of them on YouTube as they learn to appreciate the great ensemble music of Robbie, Levon, Rick, Richard, and Garth.
That Like a Rolling Stone clip is fantastic. It's exactly the Dylan I carry in my memory. Such joyous bile. And yes, some tasty licks from Robbie at the end.
I saw The Band only once. It was a lovely June evening in 1970 at Harvard stadium. The group was tight and engaging. The music was, to quote a rock critic from Rolling Stone, “transplendant”.

Thanks for this Greg. Sonewhere Down the Crazy River is one of my favorites.
