The Band 1991 - Back To Back - #1: 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. When the venue closed in 1989, the owners opened a new location, called the Lone Star Roadhouse, and The Band followed. This soundboard recording captures them on the first of 2 nights at the roadhouse, on July 30, 1991, 33 years ago today. Download this one, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd half of this Back To Back set.

Thanks for sharing.
Although he's not credited on the CD cover, Billy Preston is in The Band on this one, which explains why they do two of his songs plus "Get Back". He was invited to join the group after the death of Stan Szelest, the original replacement for Richard Manuel. But Preston wasn't there very long as he ran into legal trouble.
@brett Alan = thanks for the info on Billy Preston!
THANKS
