Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Band are now seen as the most influential American group of the late-1960s and early-1970s. Having toured the circuit for years, they became famous as Bob Dylan's backing band in 1965. After Dylan's motorcycle crash, they recorded with him the songs which became known as the basement tapes. Their first two albums - "Music From the Big Pink" and "The Band" - are among the seminal records of the era. This book takes their story up to the end of the group, which was captured in Martin Scorcese's film "The Last Waltz". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001842831
