The Band - 1994-01-23 - Charleston, WV (FM)

1990s - #3: For a group that had played their supposedly "Last Waltz" in 1976, the years 1993 & 1994 proved to be quite a magical time for The Band. In November 1993, the group released their 8th studio album, Jericho, which included a unique cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Atlantic City. Original members Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Garth Hudson continued to tour relentlessly, incorporating tunes from the album into their set list. They played at Woodstock 1994 in August, a quarter century after they had played the original festival in 1969. They capped the year by being elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That 1994 class also included John Lennon, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Bob Marley, The Animals, Duane Eddy, and one of The Band’s long time touring partners, The Grateful Dead. Eric Clapton, who had long admired the group and cited them as one of the reasons he moved away from the style of music played by Cream, made the induction speech for The Band. This soundboard recording captures The Band in West Virginia a few months after the release of Jericho, on January 23, 1994, 25 years ago today.
