Alright people, we have a real treat for your ears today. In this episode we are talking about some real rock legends. We're talkin' Clapton, we're talkin' Dylan, we're talkin' Muddy Waters, we're talkin' Neil Young and Joni Mitchell at the same time, need we say more?? You might be wondering what kind of epic happenstance brought all of these legends together? The answer is simple. It was for The Band. What band? THE Band. We're talkin' about the backing band that brought Bob Dylan into his electric period before growing into their own fully formed bluesy rock and roll group. This was a band that even the greatest rock groups at the time looked at with awe. Even Eric Clapton, one of the greatest blues guitarist ever, wanted to be in The Band...

This is going to be a two-parter since it's a three vinyl album and we don't want to cut out any of the performances. Today we have the whole crew with Brad, Jon, Dave, and Jake "The Snake" Foster!
