The Band

In August 1969, The Band took the stage at Woodstock, a pivotal moment in both music history and their career. Just prior to this legendary performance, they had released their self-titled album, 'The Band,' in 1969, which featured classics like "The Weight." 'Tears Of Rage,' the song performed during their Woodstock set, showcases their deep roots in Americana, blending folk and rock in a way that felt fresh and poignant. Co-written by Richard Manuel and Bob Dylan, it reflects the group's collaborative spirit and their connection to the larger cultural narrative of the time. Woodstock itself symbolized an era of peace and music, and The Band’s performance marked a significant step in their ascent to rock royalty, captivating audiences and leaving a lasting legacy that still resonates today.
