The Band

In January 1994, when The Band performed their version of "Atlantic City" on David Letterman's show, they were experiencing a notable revival in their career. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "Jericho," which was their first studio album in 16 years, released in 1993. "Jericho" marked The Band's return to the music scene, and the song "Atlantic City" was a cover of Bruce Springsteen's track, showcasing their ability to reinterpret contemporary material. An interesting fact about this performance is that it took place at the iconic Ed Sullivan Theater, a venue steeped in music history, where many legendary artists have graced the stage. This era represented a blend of their classic roots and a renewed presence in the modern music landscape, revitalizing their legacy for both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
