"He cast off his nervousness from the rehearsal and took the stage in blazing form... We played 'Who Do You Love'... Ronnie growled like a mad dog. In the middle of one of my solos, he took off his hat and fanned my fingers like the guitar was going to catch fire, just as he had done back when I was seventeen." — Robbie Robertson Remembering Ronnie "The Hawk" Hawkins, who passed away on this day in 2022. The ultimate showman who first brought The Band together. Rest in peace. 🕊️

"Thank you for 50 years of friendship and music. Memories that live on with us. No more sorrows, no more troubles, no more pain. He went peacefully to that beautiful marvelous wonderful place. He was Buddy Rich’s favorite rock drummer…and my friend. Levon, I’m proud of you." - Garth Hudson On the anniversary of his passing, we remember Levon Helm by looking back at one of the most soul-stirring moments in rock history. Watch him lay it all on the line with this fiery rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" at The Band's historic farewell concert, The Last Waltz.
