It's funny...The Band wasn't about guitar solos, I guess Robbie felt he played enough solos to last a lifetime with Ronnie Hawkins and that Zimmerman cat. 😉 I have some bootleg Dylan/Band stuff where Robbie solos all over the place. It's great stuff, but his strength is in his passion not his technical prowness. (sp) IMO. I visited The Band's website last year for a spell and there were striking similarities to the dynamic on this website. Pro/anti Robbie posters.
I remember reading about when Clapton sought refuge up in Woodstock with The Band...when he first got tired of being God...he was so into those guys and he asked if he could jam. They said...uh...we don't jam. 🙂
I really like the first Robbie solo album, Doug.
