The Band

In the summer of 1973, The Band delivered a lively performance at Roosevelt Stadium in New Jersey that's captured in 'Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever.' This concert came just after the release of their acclaimed album, 'Stage Fright,' which had dropped in August 1970. By that time, The Band was already well-known for their blend of rock, folk, and Americana, having gained significant attention for their earlier albums like 'Music from Big Pink' and 'The Band.' This period marked a transitional phase for them, as they were grappling with fame and the pressures of their growing legacy. Interestingly, this live recording showcases their raw energy and musicianship, highlighting songs that resonate deeply with themes of love and longing, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the era.
