The Band
Forbidden Fruit Live Performance by The Band at Music Inn, Lennox, MA
In 1976, The Band was riding a wave of both critical and commercial success, having just released their album 'Northern Lights – Southern Cross' that same year. This live performance at the Music Inn offers a glimpse into their artistry during a period of transformation, following the groundbreaking 'The Last Waltz.' Interestingly, this recording showcases the musicians' remarkable chemistry and skill as they navigated a mix of original tunes and covers. Despite the challenges of the mid-'70s music scene, The Band remained a vital force, drawing on their roots while adapting to evolving sounds. The intimate venue of Stockbridge adds a special warmth to their performance, making it a treasure worth revisiting for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
