The Band - 1969-08-17 - Bethel, NY (SBD)

The Band took the stage at Woodstock about 24 hours after The Grateful Dead did, at 10 pm on August 17, 1969, 54 years ago today.  the results were far differet, however, as Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Gath Hudson, and Rochard Maneul turned in an impressive 11 song set. as captured in this soundboard recording.  As robbie Robertson decribed it to Rolling Stone in 1989. “We played a slow, haunting set of mountain music. We lived up there, near Woodstock, and it seemed kind of appropriate from our point of view. We did songs like ‘Long Black Veil’ and ‘The Weight,’ and everything had a bit of reverence to it. Even the faster songs sounded almost religious.”
