Rick Danko - 1977-12-15 - Roslyn NY (SBD)

Written by Robbie Robertson and sung by Rick Danko, The Band's Christmas Must be Tonight is an often overlooked holiday gem. Composed in the style of scripture, the tune was Robertson's Yuletide gift to his new son Sebastian. The group didn't do the song any favors by burying it on the 1977 album Islands. a jumbled assortment of tunes thrown together to fulfill their recording contract with Capitol Records so that the Last Waltz soundtrack could be released on Warner.  In any event, this FM broadcast captures Danko out solo in the wake of the Last Waltz, performing the tune at My Father's Place on December 15, 1977, 43 years ago today.
