Original Tribute to The Band | Roots Rock, Americana Pioneers & Woodstock Legends

Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato a uno dei gruppi più poetici, influenti e leggendari della storia della musica Americana e del Roots Rock: The Band.

Caratterizzati dall'intreccio vocale inconfondibile di Levon Helm, Rick Danko e Richard Manuel, insieme alla scrittura raffinata di Robbie Robertson e al genio polistrumentale di Garth Hudson, The Band ha ridefinito il concetto di musica radice. In quest'ora ripercorriamo la loro storia attraverso 11 capolavori senza tempo: dall'apertura struggente con "Tears Of Rage" al loro inno assoluto "The Weight", il groove rurale di "Up On Cripple Creek", la narrazione epica di "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" e l'allegria boogie di "Rag Mama Rag". La scaletta prosegue con l'energia di "Stage Fright", "The Shape I'm In", le sfumature funky/brass di New Orleans in "Life Is A Carnival", il trascinante R&B di "Ophelia", la bellissima ballad "It Makes No Difference" e la travolgente chiusura live di "Baby Don't You Do It".

Un viaggio sonoro indimenticabile nel cuore pulsante della grande musica americana.
