Danko & Manuel 1984 - 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 countless 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! I was fortunate to see them at the Lone Star on October 1, 1985. My table was directly in front of the band, maybe a mere 20 feet away! This soundboard recording captures 2 of the 5 original members of The Band - Rick Danko & Richard Manuel - playing the early show at The Lone Star on February 1, 1984, 42 years ago today. Downlaod this one, then come back later today for part 2 of this Back To Back set.

Thank you for this!
I was at the Lone Star Cafe on January 28th 1985 show with Danko & Manual, sat on a bar stool across from Danko the entire show. The one one where Emmylou Harris came walking down the stairs to sing an encore of Evangeline & stunned the entire crowd when he said 'we have a friend here we'd like to sing the next song with us, Emmylou, are you here, please come down' (I had just turned 20).
