I’ve got most of the album on my MP3 player, Stix. Love listening to it.

What’s your point, John? They made great music :)

I remember watching The Last Waltz as a young kid. My mom made us watch it and I actually loved it.
Yes they are a very good band. I never really thought of them as leftists. He;;, I really don;t care what they are they played good music.
