The combination of Robbie Robertson’s lyrical master storytelling, the extraordinary musicianship of the group and the three singers trading lead vocals is hard to beat. Last week marked the release of a 50th anniversary edition of The Band’s third album “Stage Fright” (1970). Unlike “Music From Big Pink,” (1968) and “The Band” (1969) which preceded it, on its face, “Stage Fright” didn’t seem to break much new ground. Breaking new ground would have been a tall order—“Big Pink” and “The Band” changed the shape of music for generations. Yet on it’s own, “Stage Fright” is a fantastic record chock full of the kind of funk rooted rock and roll that would inform the music of Little Feat and so many others. The album doesn’t include such masterpieces as “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” but it does include gems like “The W.S. Wolcott Medicine Show” performed live in this clip in 1971 at New York’s Academy of Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX3_CjtJltU. |
