Live At The Academy Of Music archival footage - The Band - 1971

Academy Of Music, New York
1971-12-28/31
Live At The Academy Of Music (Rock of Ages)
for some reason the audio of Don't Do It blocked my video so I had to cut it
I took out all the videos from youtube and the audios are from the album, I hope that with the 50th anniversary of the concert they release more footage
a few seconds of Chest Fever are from the Once Were Brothers movie, so they hadn't been shown to the public until 2019, so I would like to believe that there are still more videos of this incredible concert
0:00 The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show
4:08 Rag Mama Rag
5:09 Unfaithful Servant
5:55 Life Is A Carnival
6:06 (I Don't Want To) Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes
6:48 The Genetic Method
7:20 Chest Fever
8:05 I Shall Be Released
8:09 King Harvest (Has Surely Come)

I don’t care what anyone says, this is the best The Band had ever sounded and Rock of Ages is their live masterpiece. It’s a crime we don’t have more footage of the academy of music shows.

I was at this show...front row..right in front of Levon....the best concert I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot of concerts

[@alexrishi2740]

My favorite concert by the band

[@thomasjohnson4697]

How could they not have the camera on Danko for the line, "I'd rather die happy, than not die at all . . "

All Band fans should purchase the Band Live Academy of Music 4 cd and DVD box set, a five star release with great unseen footage.

[@hallmarston876]

I may be way behind the curve, but tonight was the first time I knew that these sessions, which produced one of the great live performances in the history of rock n' roll, were filmed. I pray in the future Robbie curates these so we can see the complete performances. These charts by Toussaint are one of the rare instances where an original masterpiece can actually be made even more exquisite. Because they were so great, individually and collectively, we should celebrate The Band's unquestioned supremacy in this genre, and mourn, both for them collectively in some instances individually, the demise of the original lineup, and Richard, Rick and Levon. "I don't wanna hang up my rock n' roll shoes." Amen.

Anyone know what the final King Harvest footage is from? Some kind of longer clip/documentary? Excellent stuff!

[@justaaccount8738]

As far as I know, the Live At The Academy of Music box set DVD featured videos of King Harvest and W.S. Walcott's Medicine Show. What you see in the video are part of some official videos promoting the box set (that's why Robbie Robertson is heard), if I had had the full video, believe me I would have uploaded it: ')

Robbie seems a bit pale, or maybe its makeup

I think they colorized the videos manually

[@justaaccount8738]

@@barakpick I guess they were shot in black and white and colored for the A Musical History videos

@@justaaccount8738 I have a feeling it is part of the “anti Robbie” movement led by Levon fans in an attempt to make Robbie look bad. Or is it just my imagination?

[@justaaccount8738]

@@barakpick I don't think, who oversees most of The Band stuff right now is Robbie. I think it's the lighting that makes Robbie look pale
