Shocking
He always looked healthy but the statement says “after a long illness”.
What a tough year, feels like tougher than most.

Spent a LOT of time between the cans with the Band during my high school daze. When i taught high school English, i often found a way to work Black Elk Speaks into the curriculum. Being a music lover, i played my students much of this album during our time with Black Elk, having them respond to the songs in their journals. Turned a LOT of scholars on to Robertson through this disc!

Another icon from our musical past has sadly left us. Many Circles have been broken this past year and Robbie's passing at age 80 widens that gap. May you R.I.P. and might your BAND play on...and ON in our treasured memories!
Blimey, I was just listening to the Live at the Albert Hall from the Stage Fright box set, then came on QQ and saw this!
Damn, what sad news
loved The Band, and his solo albums. RIP Robbie

RIP, Robbie...and you know what? All our heroes are really getting up there. This thing has just begun, I'm afraid.
Oh man, didn't see that coming.

My first love is, music that I enjoy, and only after that do I branch out into different formats stereo, multi channel and mono. I know this is true for everybody here. I am always interested in what you have to say and I have benefited greatly in others suggestion for new music in whatever format. We have many threads to show others what we are listening to and I thought a new thread on our beloved CD would be nice. I like reading what you have to say and of course seeing the album cover. A simple way of showing album cover: Open Amazon, find your album, right click, save image as, to your desktop, go to rectangle picture box left of happy face above, left click and insert image, your album picture. Hope you like.
I love this Robbie Robertson CD 16/44.1 stereo. I have the original CD and DR values are very high at mostly 14's with a 12 and 13.
This is the only disc I own by him, any others that you all like?

The man lived a truly remarkable life. As a teenager he was ripping up the club scene in Eastern Canada and got picked up by the barnstorming Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks and that’s just the beginning. A great story teller in song, he was also a great read - his autobiography “Testimony” is essential reading. RIP

RIP
bought lots of box sets, SACD's and lots of other goodies. One of a kind!!
As Robertson himself said, "where it all began...Ronnie Hawkins" and the Hawks from The Last Waltz. My vote for BEST CONCERT MOVIE EVER!!

His work with the band had a tremendous impact on many famous musicians
I was saddened to hear this. There was no band quite like The Band. They tapped into something amazing and made their mark on the music landscape. RIP Robbie.
Our musicians we grew up with are falling like dominoes.

I have the three that you mentioned, but for the life of me I can never find the TBS 3 part video series The Native Americans.
I have gone on YouTube and found some people taking a home video of there TV.

I just ordered the 2 disc Criterion version...didn't know they had released it during my musical hiatus...I think I gave away the previous version I had on blu ray.

Another one of my musical hero's has, sadly, left us. 
I'm sad, one of my favorite Bands...Top 5, and guitarists and songwriters. Have all his stuff. I hope there will someday be a real Watkins Glen Summer Jam release.
