As 500,000 fans descended on Max Yagur's farm for 3 days of peace, love and music, The Band were actually living right near Woodstock! They had recorded their legendary debut album, Music From Big Pink in the area, the title being a reference to the house they were living in at the time. The Band took the stage at Woodstock around 10 pm on August 17, though their performance was not included in the movie due to a dispute over rights fees.

This soundboard recording captures The Band some 14 years after Woodstock, in Japan on August 27, 1983, 3 dozen years ago today. The group had just made its return to recording and touring, after a 7 year hiatus after the Las Waltz concert in November 1976.  The newly reformed Band, however, was without Robbie Robertson, who decided not to rejoin in order to pursue solo opportunities.
