The Band - 1985-01-06 - Lone Star Cafe, NY (late) (SBD)

1980s - #3: Despite the fanfare surrounding the Last Waltz, including a full length film and a triple disc album, that November 25, 1976 show was not the last time The Band would play live. While Robbie Robertson moved on to a solo career, the other members of the group would work together in various configurations throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The Lone Star Café in New York, famous for a giant, 40 ft high, iguana sculpture that adorned the building, became a home away from home for the re-formed group. The Band played the club on numerous occasions in the late 1980s, often playing 3 or 4 nights in a row, with 2 shows each night, invoking memories of how concerts at venues such as the Fillmore East were scheduled in the Woodstock era! I was fortunate to see them at the Lone Star on October 1, 1985. My table was directly in front of the band, maybe a mere 20 feet away. This soundboard recording captures 3 of the 5 original members of The Band, along with special guest Jaco Pastoruius, at The Lone Star about 10 months prior to that night, on January 6, 1985, 37 years ago today.
