great read........long...but great read....for the Band folks....
"It must be the second most recognizable Band song, after The Weight. The third is probably Rag Mama Rag, at least in Europe which puts Levon as lead vocalist on their three best-known songs. But you don't get concert versions after 1976. In spite of the vast number of 80s and 90s concerts by various Band reunions, and solo shows by Levon Helm, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down has not been performed live since The Last Waltz. The inside story is that Levon now refuses to sing it, seeing Robbie's portrayal of the south as patronising. This is odd if, as he claims, he participated in writing it. Levon contradicts Taplin on the speed of the recording."
