That was Robbie Robertson and Eric Clapton. And Robbie Robertson had quite a history
with that tune as he was partof the Hawks when Roddy Hawkins and the
Hawks recorded it as a single innineteen sixty three. A very young Robbie

(05:10):
Robertson playing lead guitar on that one, so he goes way back with that
song. The B side to thatsingle, Who Do You Love, was
the song Bo Diddley, So that'svery cool. So we mentioned Robbie Robertson.

So that was the Jerry Garcia Bandcovering a Robbie Robertson's song The Night They
Drove Old Dixie Down. That performancewas at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton,
Virginia in November of nineteen ninety one, just six days after the Grateful Dead.

(15:56):
Neil Young and others performed a memorialconcert for Bill Graham in Golden Gate
Park in San Francisco six days earlier. Now that'll be relevant later in the
show, as we have a cutfrom that. But the Night They Drove
Old Dixie Down. Wow. RobbieRobertson is a Canadian. He came to
the American South and what he sawinspired him to write that song. And

(16:21):
if I understand the stories correctly,he wrote it for leve On Helm to
sing. But that was the JGBkeeping that song alive and relevant. In
nineteen ninety one, it appeared onthe band's second studio album, simply entitled
The Band, also known I thinkis the Brown Album. So now we're

(16:42):
going to have a few songs fromthe band themselves, all written by Robbie
Robertson, or at least co writtenright by Robbie Robertson. Rest in peace.
Robbie enjoy. I pulled in thenagar. Wasn't feeling about head fasting.

(29:11):
it's all just to dake myself cometelling you that I live. That's so
alone, Be warm. I hatemyself for loving you and the weakness that

(31:37):
it showed. You just painted feeson a trip down suicide road. The
stage was set, the lights wentout on a roundly on old tale in

(32:00):
myself for love you, and I'mbed the cutting fall. I hate that
foolish game with play and the needthat was expressence and the mercy that you

(32:25):
shout to me whoever would against.I went out all along Broadway, and
I feel the please within the hollowplace where mothers weep and Al's play with

(32:47):
see your songs of freedom. Theman forever strip acting out his folly while

(33:12):

or for a moment's glory. It'sa dirty rider shame. Here are those

(33:50):
who worship loring Is. I'm notone of them. In this age the
favorite place I'm searching for a jam, the crystal ball upon the wall hasn't
shown me nothing yet. I paidthe price solitude, But at least time

(34:20):
out of day I can't recalling usefulthing you ever did for me. Sept

(34:50):
pat me on the back one timewhen I was on my knee. We
studied Eacher his eyes he with me. No use to apologize. What difference

(35:10):
would it make? So sing yourpraise of progress in ather do machine the

(35:37):
naked truth these di taboos. Wheneverit can be seen. The lady left
you shines on me. Return youwell. I hate myself for loving you,

(35:57):
and I should get old. Thatwas Bob Dylan, ably backed by

(36:40):
the band in somewhat of a reunionfrom the Planet Waves album, which was
his fourteenth studio album released in nineteenseventy four. Let's see it was the
band that accompanied Dylan on his electrictour of Europe in nineteen sixty six.

(37:01):
And they were booed like punk rock, like the Sex Pistols in Dallas,
Texas, and they were true rockand roll warriors. And that that album,
Oh Man, Planet Waves is afantastic record. Putting this show together
in honor of Robbie Robertson gave mea chance to revisit it and explore it

(37:22):
in a whole new light. Andthat is the first of three songs we'll
have off that album, which featuresBob Dylan with the band, and there
You Go. Before that, wehad It Makes No Difference by the Band,
written by Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko, sung by Rick Danko, first
released on their nineteen seventy five albumNorthern Lights Southern Cross, their sixth studio

(37:46):
LP. Before that, When YouAwake by the Band, written by Robert
Robbie Robertson and Richard Manuel, andthat was on the band self titled album
nineteen sixty nine. And so we'regonna continue with another cut off Planet Waves,
Bob Doing and the band. Ilove you more than every, more

(38:25):
than time, and more than love. I love you more than money and
money lostars of Boe, love youmore than madness, all that dreams upon
the sea. I love you morethan life itself. You need that much
to me. Ever sends you upright in the suckers been complete. I

(38:52):
say good bye to a hundred roomsand faces in the street we look cornyards
the jester, which ever hitter fromthe sun. I love you more than

(39:15):
