1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: One of the greats of rock, Canadian born and a

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: superstar with the band and Bob Dylan and solo, Robbie

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Robinson has passed away at the age of eighty.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm just one of the most sort of not underrated

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: but under kind of talked about under bands. Understated thank you,

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: that's the just everybody. I mean, everybody loves the band,

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: but I just didn't hear as much as perhaps she

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: should have.

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: Do you think that was part of the philosophy at

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the start, because Robie sort of said that we had

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: this beautiful turn of phrase, and I think he said

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: we were a young band who it was all about

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: the songs and the music. We didn't take our shirts

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: off to try and get me pop stars and get

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: it they would get. Yeah, they didn't want to record.

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: They didn't care that much about a record deal. They

17
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: had to get released, of course, but it wasn't their

18
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: prime motivator. It was all about the music.

19
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: How much does it say that they used to be

20
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Bob Dylan's band and when they said let's you know,

21
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: we've got some pretty good tunes, let's do our own thing,

22
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: they just called themselves the band. The band, I mean,

23
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: that's no, you go there is that absolutely amazing.

24
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: They had this incredible building there in upstate New York.

25
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: It was a pink of an old house pretty much.

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: They made the album Music from Big Pink there, and

27
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: that was sort of like their sacred place where that

28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: could just making.

29
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,400

Speaker 1: Crank it up with you got headphones. However, you listened

34
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: to music loud, listen to a song called chest Fever

00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: first heard that song.

37
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: Speaking of getting the chants, I did speak earlier in

38
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: the Shore Report about my love for the concert film

39
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,440

Speaker 2: of amazing guests that come out on stage with them.

42
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: It was filmed at the amazing Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco,

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: and there's something about the venue that really adds to

44
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: how good the movie is.

45
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,440
